'Piling on him!' CNN sees Musk's own fans slam him after latest comments

Raw Story  

Elon Musk, who called himself a "free speech warrior" when he first bought Twitter and renamed it X, is getting blowback from his own fans after calling 60 Minutes journalists "the biggest liars in the world" who "deserve a long prison sentence." CNN's John Berman introduced chief media analyst Brian Stelter Tuesday, saying, "It's interesting because he's saying this at the same time that Vice President Vance is giving speeches overseas about free speech." He continued, "If you go and look at Elon Musk's Twitter feed, many of his fans are piling on him saying, 'Dude, you said you were a free speech absolutist. "This started on Sunday night when 60 minutes aired a really interesting segment about the cuts to USAID, that agency that was dismantled by Musk and DOGE and the Trump Administration," Stelter said.
