Loony Musk calls the BBC and real media the "effete elite"

[highplainsdem]

So all this time he just wanted to be Spiro Agnew...

BBC article he was commenting on: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66056375

Traditional media have used the term “far-right” so frequently & hyperbolically that it no longer means anything.

What use of that term by media actually represents is the immense ideological gap between the effete elite and the people.

The idiot thought "effete elite" was so clever he pinned the reply.

And in case anyone wonders why Loony reminds me of Agnew now:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew

Nixon had Agnew deliver a series of speeches attacking their political opponents. In New Orleans on October 19, Agnew blamed liberal elites for condoning violence by demonstrators: "a spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals".[121]

1. Man-child musky is and always will be

Jealous of normal people

[eShirl]

2. like this jackass knows anything about normal people

[JHB]

3. The actual overused terms are "radical left" and "socialist"

"Far right" is only "over"used because they ain't bothering to hide it anymore.

5. No, Elon - "far-right" means YOU.

6. Stay in your lane, Musk, the one where many thought you were a genius.

Alas that's been proven w-a-a-a-a-y wrong (see his acquisition and management of Twitter — both disastrous).

8. He can't stay in his lane any better than his shitty cars

9. Heehee.

7. Woohoo! I made it!

10. So I guess Musk thinks he's a 'man of the people'

Hahahaha!

As for the effete elite label? Has this man looked in the mirror recently?

Insufferable, the major lot of these so-called 'libertarian,' billionaire tech guys.

Btw, if Elon Musk, Peter Thiel et al don't like the far-right descriptor, how 'bout fascist?

I'm willing to trade the terms out.

12. When you grew up as a white in apartheid South Africa, you don't get to define

what "far right" is. Most of the people you grew up among were far right, unless your parents were getting arrested.

Plus, of course, Musk is desperate to attract the far right, and bigots ("effete" is a homophobic dog-whistle) to Twitter, so he'll bullshit all day about what "the people" think. The BBC defines as far right the French National Front (or whatever they renamed themselves to pretend they'd changed), the Austrian Freedom Party (roots: the Nazi Party), Meloni in Italy (roots: the Fascists), the Sweden Democrats (roots: neo-nazis), Vox in Spain (roots: Franco). Objectively, these are far-right - well right of mainstream right wing parties, with roots in fascist authoritarian parties that we (yes, even South Africa that would then institute apartheid) fought in WW2.
