Elon threatens to sue a very dumb Dem for calling him a "Nazi" and "thief"

There are moments when the sheer absurdity of our public discourse threatens to overwhelm even the most resolute observer. Such a moment arrived this week when former Representative Jamaal Bowman, a not very bright man whose political career met its ignominious end in last July’s Democratic primary, took to the airwaves of CNN to hurl invectives at Elon Musk, one of the most consequential figures of our age.

With the reckless abandon of a man who has nothing left to lose, Bowman branded Musk a “Nazi” and a “thief,” declaring with the certitude of the unhinged left that “the American people do not trust Elon Musk and Elon Musk is incompetent in his position.”

Musk, a man not known for suffering fools gladly, responded with characteristic directness on X: “I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound.” 

Who could blame him? 

Bowman’s tirade, delivered in the sanctimonious tones of a fallen prophet, was a masterclass in calumny. “How do we know?” Bowman asked, as if unveiling some grand revelation. “Because they fired tens of thousands of people, was challenged in court. The court said the people have to go back, and now the people are coming back.” 

Then, with the flourish of a cheap demagogue, he concluded: “He’s incompetent. He’s a thief. He’s a Nazi. And people don’t trust him.”

One might pause here to marvel at the audacity of this cretin. 

Bowman, a former member of the self-styled “Squad” of mega-progressive Democrats—a group whose moral posturing is matched only by its intellectual vacuity—was ousted from his New York seat by George Latimer, a centrist with the temerity to support Israel, a position fully opposed by the "Squad."

Bowman, who once accused the Jewish state of “genocide” in its war against Hamas, blamed his defeat on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), claiming the group spent millions to “brainwash” voters. This from a man censured by the House in 2023 for pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol to disrupt shutdown talks—an act of petulance that would embarrass a schoolboy.

But Bowman is not alone in his descent into the gutter. The left-wing media, ever eager to smear those who defy their orthodoxy, accused Musk of performing a “Nazi salute” while addressing a crowd on Trump’s Inauguration Day. Elon's mother, Maye Musk, quite rightly urged her son to sue CNN and others peddling this grotesque libel. 

Meanwhile, Bowman’s erstwhile comrade, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), another “Squad” luminary, chimed in last month with the equally deranged charge that Musk is a “Nazi nepo baby.” The phrase is as meaningless as it is malicious, but such is the state of our political rhetoric.

Musk’s defenders, thankfully, have not remained silent. 

Andy Ngo, a journalist who earned his stripes enduring the fists and serious bruises of Antifa thugs in Portland, observed with clarity: “Accusing people of crimes is not protected opinion. CNN is putting itself at risk of liability for bringing on guests who repeat potentially defamatory claims unchallenged.”

Rep. Mike Lee (R-UT) was more succinct: “Sue him! Defamation against conservatives can’t go unaddressed or it will never end.” And Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) added a rallying cry: “Fight back!”

Fight back he must. For too long, idiots like Bowman and his enablers in the media have wielded slander as a weapon, secure in the knowledge that their targets will hesitate to retaliate. 

Musk, with his resources and resolve, may yet prove them wrong. If he does, it will be a victory not just for him, but for a society that has grown weary of seeing truth trampled under the jackboots of ideological excess.

Sue the bstrds!
