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.”

    Musk is threatening to sue and conservatives are celebrating it. Now slander / defamation is wrong lmao but when Trump inspired conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate it was ok? Not to mention all the other bullshit Trump throws around. Pathetic.

      I can’t wait for him to lose in court because he is in fact an incompetent thief who did a Nazi salute multiple times. Maybe that representative can counter sue for the $500 billion dollars he lost the U.S. thus far. Being that he is not an elected official, I don’t see how he could be immune to repercussions in his role.
