'Lawsuit Inbound': Musk Threatens He's 'Had Enough' After Democrat on CNN Calls Him 'Nazi' and 'Thief'

[AZProgressive]

Top Donald Trump adviser and tech CEO Elon Musk said that’s he’s “had enough” and that a lawsuit is “inbound” after a Democratic commentator called him a “thief” and a “Nazi” live on CNN this week.

Former New York congressman Jamaal Bowman drew some on-air distancing from host Abby Phillip on CNN Tuesday after his inflammatory comments about Musk, in a wild rant that went viral on social media.

“He’s incompetent, he’s a thief, he’s a Nazi, and people don’t trust him, period,” said Bowman in a panel discussion on Thursday’s CNN NewsNight.

1. repukes HATE hearing the truth

that's why they whine about free speech except when it is them being criticized

[newdeal2]

2. Interesting that he lets the incompetent dig slide

[A HERETIC I AM]

41. It reminds me of Princess Leia's insult to Han Solo....

"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder"!


"Who's Scruffy Looking?"

THAT'S what you take issue with?!? LOL.

[Irish_Dem]

3. No one dare tell the truth about President Musk.

I guess he has immunity too.

[GoCubsGo]

5. No immunity. Just pockets that are deep enough bankrupt by litigation.

It's something he learned from Trump. Drag people into court over spurious accusations, and force them into spending everything they have on lawyers' fees. The cases usually get dropped, but the victims are punished financially, nonetheless.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes he will sue his critics into bankruptcy, destroy them.

Anyone who tells the truth about him.

I wish Musk would sue the people talking about his botched penis surgery.
Would love to see all that get entered into court records.

[dalton99a]

19. +1. Like what Peter Thiel did to Gawker

[Irish_Dem]

37. Like Trump always did to the venders who worked for him.

Wouldn't pay them and then sued them into bankruptcy.

Just like Roy Cohen taught him to do.

[EdmondDantes_]

10. and a lack of shame

He didn't see anything wrong with calling one of the heroes who rescued the kids from that cave in Thailand "pedo guy" because the guy had the temerity to say Musk's submarine plan wasn't viable (and it wasn't viable). So Musk taking offense is hard to take seriously.

[Irish_Dem]

35. The richest man in the world will always have immunity.

Especially one who works for the most powerful man in the world.

[Trueblue1968]

42. I also would have called MuskOx an ASS-HOLE !!!

[Irish_Dem]

43. I am runing out of cuss words for the jackwads.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Thin-skinned prick.

Nothing Bowman said about that drug-addled ninny was false.

[jeffreyi]

12. Thin-skinned botched prick at that.

[Tickle]

36. If nothing he said was false

he has nothing to worry about. Should be an easy case

[Ol Janx Spirit]

6. Bring it Little Rocket Man... Discovery on that lawsuit will be absolutely fantastic.... N/T

[OldBaldy1701E]

34. That was my thought as well.

Let's see how that discovery goes. Especially when it will be plausible to be digging into his life in any way. He hates it when people pull back his curtain and I suspect he will let it go once the reality of it starts to sink in.

[Irish_Dem]

44. I want to hear more about the botched penis surgery.

Should be a fascinating glimpse into why he has to keep acting like a hyper toxic male.

[madinmaryland]

7. But he is a NAZI and a THIEF. Fuck him and his tender sensitivities.

[tulipsandroses]

9. Whatever happened to the fuck your feelings party? Strange mix of nazi snow flakes

And of course the nazi snowflake would threaten a black man.

[Irish_Dem]

45. Rough tough Nazi warriors are cream puffs with deliicate feelings.

[ananda]

11. Truth must be anathema to the Nazis.

...

[spooky3]

13. Not a lawyer, but a lawsuit will fail.

1) he’s a public figure, so high standards must be met for him to win a defamation suit, eg, statements were made intentionally to harm him

2) truth is a defense, and there are facts to support at least a couple of the insults (eg, that he’s a Nazi)

3) for non-factual assertions, eg, opinions, they are generally protected as free speech

[wiggs]

14. Exhibit #1: Hitler-esque salute. nt

[rubbersole]

15. Check, check, check and check.

Call your mother to pick you up. (She probably didn't trust him either.)

[mzmolly]

16. That's not very free speech of him.

👎

[dalton99a]

17. He'll have Trump sign a decree ordering Bondi to prosecute Bowman

[Figarosmom]

18. That should be interesting.

How is musk going to prove he's not any of those things. The burden of proof is with him, since he is the plaintiff. So he's going to have to have evidence that he's not incompetent or a thief or a nazi. While there is proof to show he is all of those things. Money missing at tesla, firing the nuclear dept workers and his nazi salute on film.

20. Nazi salute at Trump inauguration

[SunSeeker]

25. Does AC/DC know that creep uses their song "Thunderstruck" as his walk-on music?

21. Musk's daughter said father's greeting was definitely a Nazi salute

In a recent interview for Teen Vogue, Elon Musk’s daughter stated that her father’s greeting was “definitely a Nazi salute,” as there is no way to excuse it.

The 20-year-old woman, named Vivian Jenna Wilson, also expressed that, as a transgender woman, she feels terrified of losing access to adequate medical care due to all the laws that President Donald Trump has been implementing and that are being supported by her own father ...

22. Musk tells German far-right crowd nation should move beyond past guilt ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day

By Haley Ott
Updated on: January 28, 2025 / 9:35 AM EST / CBS News

... The AfD, which Musk had previously voiced his support for, has been labelled a suspected extremist organization by Germany's national security services.

"There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that," Musk said, adding that he considered the anti-immigration, anti-cultural integration party, "the best hope for Germany" ...

23. Musk said he was a "Free Speech Absolutist"...obviously he lied.

24. Musk agrees with post that claims Jews push hatred against White people

—
Agreeing with an antisemitic post on his social media platform X, Elon Musk endorsed the claim that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”

An X post Wednesday afternoon said: “Jewish communties (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also referenced “hordes of minorities” flooding Western countries, a popular antisemitic conspiracy theory.

In response, Musk said: “You have said the actual truth” ...

[0rganism]

26. I guess we'll find out if truth is still an absolute defense from slander allegations

Naturally, the DOJ will be after Bowman looking into criminal filings now if they aren't already

[Deuxcents]

27. We've had enough of him.. can we sue?

[Dem4life1970]

28. In court, just show video of his two "Roman salutes."

No judge or jury should have trouble figuring out if Bowman's statements are true or not.

[bamagal62]

29. Snowflake

[Beartracks]

30. So there's a libel law against using metaphors?

===========

[sakabatou]

31. If the shoe fits...

[J_William_Ryan]

32. Musk may not be a Nazi, but he is a fascist.

And it’s true that Musk is incompetent, a thief, and that people don’t trust him.

[Jamastiene]

33. If it sieg heils, it's a Nazi.

He can' sue someone for stating a fact.

[milestogo]

38. "He's incompetent, he's a thief, he's a Nazi, and people don't trust him, period"

Sounds about right to me.

[Blue Owl]

40. I wanna see that shithead bankrupt by the end of the year

[Irish_Dem]

46. Musk is not just a nazi and thief, he is a TRAITOR.
