Musk Becomes the Main New Hoax Target for the Left

Since his takeover of Twitter - really since he announced he would make the bid early this year - Elon Musk has increasingly become a favored target of the endless and incredibly transparent hoaxes mounted by the Axis of Propaganda that used to almost exclusively target Donald Trump.

Yesterday, the Democrat operatives at the New York Times were tagged by the Axis to be the vehicle for this very transparent hoax:

Breaking News: Hate speech on Twitter has jumped since Elon Musk took over, researchers found. Musk “sent up the Bat Signal to every kind of racist, misogynist and homophobe that Twitter was open for business,” the head of one of the research groups said.

nyti.msHate Speech’s Rise on Twitter Is Unprecedented, Researchers FindProblematic content and formerly barred accounts have increased sharply in the short time since Elon Musk took over, researchers said.

Here’s an excerpt from that bit of news-fakery:

Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, slurs against Black Americans showed up on the social media service an average of 1,282 times a day. After the billionaire became Twitter’s owner, they jumped to 3,876 times a day.

Slurs against gay men appeared on Twitter 2,506 times a day on average before Mr. Musk took over. Afterward, their use rose to 3,964 times a day.

And antisemitic posts referring to Jews or Judaism soared more than 61 percent in the two weeks after Mr. Musk acquired the site.

These findings — from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the Anti-Defamation League and other groups that study online platforms — provide the most comprehensive picture to date of how conversations on Twitter have changed since Mr. Musk completed his $44 billion deal for the company in late October. While the numbers are relatively small, researchers said the increases were atypically high.

To know it’s a hoax, all you have to do is look at the “sources” used by the Times: Two far-left Democrat Party front groups who are very adept at producing propaganda of their own.
