While patriots continue to hope that Elon Musk’s rift with President Trump isn’t permanent, leftists are earnestly hoping that it is, and that they can entice the billionaire entrepreneur back to the side of authoritarianism, race hatred, victimhood posturing, gender madness, and to top it all off, incurable and utterly irrational self-righteousness. Yet in trying to win over Musk, leftists look even more ludicrous than they usually do (including the ones who don’t have green hair). After all, isn’t this the guy they were insisting was a Nazi up until about five minutes ago?
Heedless of the glaring inconsistency in the left’s messaging, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Newsom SSR), posted this on X Thursday: “If Biden had a big supporter criticize him, Trump would have hugged him the next day. When we refused to meet with @RobertKennedyJr, Trump embraced him & won. We can be the party of sanctimonious lectures, or the party of FDR that knows how to win & build a progressive majority.”
The Democrats didn’t just refuse to meet with RFK Jr. They rigged their primary system so that he couldn’t mount an effective challenge against Old Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, only to turn around and dispense with Old Joe in a palace coup after RFK was safely out of the picture. They behaved this way because the Democrat party is made up of leftist authoritarians who despise the “democracy” they profess to champion (it’s actually a republic, kids), and so Khanna is going against the prevailing winds in calling for a reconciliation with Musk, but he made the best case he could anyway.
Khanna’s case was primarily based on the idea that having Musk on their side would benefit the Democrats. He stated: “Having Elon speak out against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit exploding Trump bill, and the anti-science and anti-immigrant agenda can help check Trump’s unconstitutional administration. I look forward to Elon turning his fire against MAGA Republicans instead of Democrats in 2026.”
Khanna also said of Musk: “We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with. A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”
Wait a minute. The Democrats have more of the values with which Musk agrees? Really? Does that mean that the Democrats are a National Socialist party? Of course they aren’t. They’re an international socialist party, and it’s grimly ironic that they’re now hoping to win the allegiance of a guy they’ve been smearing as a National Socialist for the last six months.
Is Ro Khanna unaware of the words of his California colleague, Rep. Robert Garcia, who back in Jan. 2025 denounced Musk for making what he claimed was a “Nazi salute,” and adding: “He didn’t just do it one time—he did it twice for emphasis. If you talk to anyone like historians, folks actually study the Nazis and study this actual kind of disgusting display, they’ve been very clear about what that was. He should not just apologize. He should be condemned for those kinds of actions. So gross.”
Then there was America’s sweetheart, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-You Wanna Open a Tab?) declared: “In this country, we fight Nazis. We don’t celebrate them.This is the United States of America. And I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal. In this country, we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational, defining thing. Two of probably the most foundational, defining things about American history is that we beat the Confederates and we beat the Nazis. And I don’t know what side people may be on today, but I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis.”
So if, God forbid, Elon Musk does jump to the left’s side, will AOC continue to refuse to “rock” with him? Will Robert Garcia continue to think him “gross”? While it’s possible that these doctrinaire leftists will find some integrity somewhere, the smart money is on their appearing in public with Musk at the first opportunity, and joining with him in an orgy of hate for the left’s Emanuel Goldstein. Why? Because they never really believed that Musk was a National Socialist at all. They just found his gesture a convenient stick with which to beat the Trump administration. Being a leftist means the establishment media will always cover for you, and you never have to worry about pesky details such as honesty, consistency, fair play, and other outmoded bourgeois concepts. And so if Musk and Trump don’t reconcile (again, God forbid), watch for leftists to continue hanging out the “Come Back, Elon” banners.
It’s no wonder the Democrats ‘forgot’ with the crap your average liberal has for brains. 🤔
David Stockman + Huge Ego = Elon Musk
Elon Musk makes perfection the enemy of the good.
Twas ever thus …
Ordinarily, I agree with everything the esteemwd Robert Spencer writes, but I respectfully disagree this time for the following reasons:
1) Elon Musk threatened to primary the most pro-Israel Senator in existence, Tom Cotton, if Cotton were to not vote for the nomination of Elbridge Colby — who is a radical isolationist who has insisted that the United States should do NOTHING about the Ayatollahs’ nuclear program.
2) Musk also said that Germany needs to get rid of its guilt about its past, and focus on its future, which is callous to the millions of Nazi victims and their tens of millions of would-have-been descendants who were never born.
Of course today’s Germans are not guilty of anything that their grandparents and great-grandparents did, but there will always be a historical responsibility of remembrance on the part of the country as a whole. That doesn’t mean it should in any way hold back the German economy, or cause depression or guilt amongst descendants, many of whom have investigated and strongly repudiated the actions of their personal grandparents and great-grandparents, but nationally, it is only decent that there be an everlasting element of remembrance and responsibility, particularly to the Jewish state and individual Holocaust survivors that still struggle to survive in a way they would not have but for Germany’s crimes in World War II (many were left with lifelong post-traumatic stress; and have the tens of millions of would have been descendants of the Holocaust victims been alive today, Israel’s position would not be as isolated in the world).
3);He campaigned for the AfD, 40% of whose members are hardcore unrepentant Jew hating Nazis proud of the Nazis from World War II.
These same 40% of the AfD fully align themselves with Putin on everything, including his hostility to israel, his blaming Israel and not Hamas, his clothes ties with Iran — everything.
This is the reason that Israel’s foreign Ministry boycotts the AFD, despite the fact that some of whose members are pro-israel, such as its leader, Alice Weidel, (there is a complete bipolarity on Foreign affairs, especially pertaining to Israel within this party).
I’m not guilty of US slavery – my people were not even in the USA then – and we have been slaves more than any other race or group – I’m talking the Hebrew peeps in case you didn’t catch on
The Demo-Rats are the real enemies of America along with the UN and CFR as well as Gates Soros and Schwabe
The Demo-Rats like all Tyrants want to disarm us just like Hitler Stalin Mao and Castro did the Clintons Obama and Biden wanted to disarm us to then comes the Concentration Camps/Gulags
I don’t think democraps accepting Musk & DOGE into the Ponzi Scheme Welfare State party is going to work.
Hello Dr.Spencer, You say: “After all, isn’t this the guy they were insisting was a Nazi up until about five minutes ago?”
Indeed. But isn’t the definition of who is “a Nazi” and who is not one that fluctuates with the ever changing politics?
My father, a Polish para, fought in the Polish Army – ON THE ALLIED SIDE (in the Original Version of WW2) – as did Peter Godwin’s father. Both they and their comrades in arms suffered the same brutal political betrayal the moment the war ended. Peter describes it movingly in his wonderful book “When a Crocodile Eats the Sun”.
He says:
“In the summer of 1946, the huge victory parade takes place down the
Mall in London. Two million onlookers cheer wildly as King George V1
takes the salute from Allied soldiers of dozens of nations. In the
skies overhead there is a massive fly-past. but though they are the
fourth biggest Allied army, no Polish forces march that day. The new
Warsaw regime, at Stalin’s insistence, ignores its British invitation
and stays away. And the Free Poles have not been invited. Anyway,
they have nothing to celebrate. While everyone else is jubilant, many
of them watch the victory parade in tears.
“The new Polish government said we were traitors, just a bunch of
fascist thugs, and I realized I would never be able to go home to
Poland”. says my father. “And Cania, who had stayed behind with our
unit in Germany, after I’d been sent back for officer training,
realized the same thing. He couldn’t bear it. He walked out of his
tent one evening and shot himself”.”
The day before WW2 ended they were “our gallant allies, the Poles”, the day after they were “fascist thugs”. And we have been “untered” by the most powerful media and academe in the world ever since. So does it surprise me if 5 minutes ago Elon Musk was “a Nazi” and tomorrow he may be a “resistance hero”? Nope. What it does do for me is to confirm the truth of everything the Bible warns us about “the world”, the current wicked system of things on the earth. I hope it will make others consider this too. It is vital (literally) that we do.
After the unhinged power stunt Elon pulled by throwing facts, truth, logic to the wind, he has proven he has alternative motives. he is self interest first & cannot be trusted.
Trump needs to stay distant from that mentally ill person or it’ll happen again.
Leftists hate him also, like everyone else, so he’s on a island of his own making. Good riddance to him
If you look at this as a master class in trolling it all makes sense. C’mon I mean Elon calling for Trumps impeachment? Trump threatening Space X contracts? Then Elon threatens to dismantle the Dragon program.
Then the Russians wanting to get in on the gag offer Elon political asylum.
If that isn’t funny enough the Twittersphere has to join in. For an example of that check out Tim Pool’s Twitter response.
Of course it works on the brainless left. as the article explains.
ROFLMAO!
Frankly, I believe this is all a marketing ploy. Tesla experienced a substantial sell off when the Tesla dealerships and Tesla owners cars were vandalized or torched. Granted, sell off can be massive hedge funds to manipulate stocks and when people panic and sell off rather than hold their shares, hedge funds come back in and boy cheaper shares. Leading to more panic buying from individual’s. The smart individual dollar-cost-averaging stock holders hold onto their stocks knowing after a sell off, a buying frenzy is next, Like watching the ocean tides all day come in and go out then come in sets and go out.
President Trump urged Elon to get back to his corporations and they agreed to have a make-believe tiff to win back the loco lefties to buy shares and buy Tesla vehicles. Looks like this ploy is working.
Now the left is back in love with Elon and the vandalism will stop.
Yep, the lunatic fringe that has become unhinged are purring and happy now – Down with Trump —Up with Tesla stocks and buy buy buy those doggone electric vehicles so great to drive around in California cities.
Leftards sing: Tell us good news – lie to us as long as it comes from CNN and legacy media – we’ll cream our jeans .
