Wow. And I mean wow... Scott Galloway has completely lost the plot, and his vile attack on Elon is fkn disgraceful. Calling Elon a “traitor to the West” is outrageous enough, but invoking the Rosenbergs, who were executed for Soviet espionage, and demanding he be held to the same standards... are you kidding me??? This crosses a line that no decent person should defend. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempts on Trump's life, he should know better than to make such reckless comments Elon has worked tirelessly, devoting his life to helping improve the lives of others. And remember, he was a champion for the Left for most of his professional adulthood - like so many democrats, he sided with Trump in 2024 only out of concern for open borders, chaos and lack of safety in many western cities, and runaway deficits. His concern in Ukraine was for the loss of millions of lives; that these stupid endless wars are futile and for nought - he was right!!! What pisses me off is that the big left election wave, which I largely celebrated (I am a libertarian who hates wars, despite my past support of Trump), COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT FREE SPEECH and a platform like X. Given the total impotence of Bluesky and Threads, many lefties returned to X, and this very platform played a very pivotal role for all Democrat activists to make their voices heard. And what about our lives? Aren’t they better for Elon? He has helped revolutionise space exploration, transformed the electric vehicle industry, accelerated green energy, championed many liberal causes, and pioneered life-changing technology with Neuralink. Many of those achievements advance the very causes Democrats have spent decades claiming to be their platform. Like millions of people, and myself, Elon supported Trump's policies because he believed they offered a better future, not because he signed away his right to disagree with the president. And when Trump made the catastrophic mistake of escalating the war with Iran, many of us who supported the President felt profoundly betrayed. But since when did political disagreement become treason, and since when did supporting the wrong candidate justify comparisons to people executed for espionage? Scott is perfectly entitled to criticise Elon's decisions, but using political hatred to fuel moral superiority while invoking executions is a grotesque abuse of his platform. He owes Elon an unequivocal apology, a full retraction, and some serious reflection on the dangerous rhetoric he's helping normalise. Source: ZeroHedge
