‘He’s Incompetent, He’s a Thief, He’s a Nazi’: Rep Jamaal Bowman Goes There in Fiery CNN Segment on Elon Musk (www.mediaite.com)

Summary:

Former Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) called Elon Musk a “thief” and a “Nazi” during a fiery CNN segment Thursday night.

After Joe Borelli, the ex-Republican leader on the New York City Council, argued that much of the discontent at Republican congressmen’s town hall events were protests organized by Democrats, Bowman interrupted to insist that “that’s not true.”

“That’s not true. And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk,” began Bowman. “And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people, it was challenged in court. The court said the people have to go back, and now the people are coming back. He’s incompetent, he’s a thief, he’s a Nazi, and people don’t trust him, period.”

Again, the outcome of the suit isn’t the goal. The rich sue all of the time without a good case. They have the money to bankrupt you by dragging out the lawsuit indefinitely.

I expect a public case about whether Elon Musk is a Nazi will draw Mangione levels of public contributions for the defendant.
