US authorities efficiency chief and tech billionaire Elon Musk has accused the American “legacy media” of waging a concentrated “ type assassination” exertion against him, claiming they would feature “ directly” killed him “in reality” if offered such an opportunity.
The Space X and Tesla CEO made the remarks on Saturday in an interview with Lara Trump, a Fox host and the US president’s daughter-in-law, during which he reflected on the fallout of his speech at the inauguration of Donald Trump back in January.
During the event, Musk made gestures that were perceived by some as Nazi salutes. The billionaire, however, continues to insist that his actions were deliberately misrepresented by the mainstream media and had nothing to do with Nazi gestures.
“Obviously, I’ve not harmed anyone in my life, so it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi,” he claimed. “If you repeat a lie, you know, the sort of ‘he’s a Nazi lie’ enough times, some people actually believe it, especially people that still believe the legacy news, you know.”
Propaganda works because people want simple narratives. But the truth is messier, and it’s worth fighting for. I’m not here to play their game. I’m here to build a better future, no matter how many lies they throw my way.
The main “issue” with the Nazis was not their “mannerisms” or their “choice of dress,” but the “fact that they killed millions of people,” Musk argued.
The billionaire also defended the US president, stating that Trump has been the target of a similar “propaganda” campaign for over 20 years already. The US leader is “not a violent person,” Musk said, and “in fact has done a lot to prevent wars and stop wars, which is the very opposite of being a Nazi.”
Musk claimed that the media’s hatred of him is very personal and that his critics would not hesitate to assassinate him if presented with such an opportunity. He did not elaborate on who exactly he suspected of being capable of a such an act.
“They’re trying every angle to get me. If they could press a button and kill me in reality, they’d press it immediately. But since I’m a little hard to kill, they’re resorting to character assassination instead,” he claimed.
