Elon Musk has been using his considerable platform as owner of X to influence the budget negotiations this week - that’s a given. And he’s been using that influence to coax spineless Republicans in the House to disrupt the bi-annual Kabuki Theater exercise over a massive continuing resolution combined with an increase in the debt ceiling because that exercise in brinksmanship is destructive and unhealthy for the preservation of the American Republic.
Given that, it was inevitable that Democrats who hate the American Republic would turn their rhetorical sights on the wealthiest individual on earth. The political left always needs a bogeyman to isolate and demonize: This is what these soulless ghouls do.
For intrepid conservative commentator Scott Jennings over at CNN, this dynamic happily presents a target-rich environment of leftist panelists to make fools of. Jennings - who is really the only person worth watching at CNN anymore - did just that last night to a red-headed functional nitwit named Julie Roginsky.
