Fondisse PBS now! “ Conservative '' David Brooks says that Elon Musk is as bad as Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot – Twitchy
There is an old tip (and frankly, quite worn out) that many media like to play. They hire someone with past conservative references to say very left things, and they use it to claim that they are “fair and balanced”.
David French at the New York Times, Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post (finally … More), Michael Steele on MSNBC, Ana Navarro The viewThe list continues, and it does not deceive anyone. The conservatives have this boring tendency to exercise critical thinking. We can see through these people to understand that they ransacked the conservative principles they used to hold (if they really did) to embrace leftism and be part of the media “in the crowd”.
One of the worst in the lot (and that said something) is David Brooks of the New York Times and PBS. He is shamelessly. In recent times, he has announced his love for Joe Biden and for militant judges who hinder ice agents.
How “conservative” of him.
This weekend, however, Brooks has reached a revolting new low when he compared Elon Musk to some of the worst mass murder in history. Watch:
🚨nyt / pbs “Conservative” David Brooks compares Elon Musk to Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin:
“At least semi-responsible for the death of probably at the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. It is the heritage of Elon Musk.”

Amazing.
And don't be mistaken. Brooks has not read this “study by the University of Boston” which he claims to be the basis of the estimation of the 300,000 dead. He says it because Bono has just said it about Joe Rogan, and he wants to take advantage of it.
Recommended
Except that the Bono and Brook numbers are completely composed. Not even true from a distance. Everything is based on an extremely biased statistical model, no real deaths.
But Brooks doesn't care. He saw the opportunity to say something scandalous, and he took it.
And, by the way, what a little and bad little man he is for throwing this attempt to shame anyone who works for SpaceX or Tesla at the end.
I'm sorry, but it's just a harm. To insinuate this @elonmusk is in a way equalized with the worst mass murderers in history is sick. This “Death Tracker” is a mathematical model based on certain dreams of mathematician fever. And now he is being distributed as a fact.… https://t.co/5onmjfgcck

Is Brooks too stupid to know it, or is it too bad to care about it?
We will kiss the power of “and”.
PBS funds! https://t.co/ukbru0qvwj

Immediately, if not earlier.
Putting such a false and incendiary rhetoric on their air funded by the State is inadmissible.
Brooks is and has been a fictitious nitwit for years.
It took me a lot of effort to be this kind. https://t.co/fy0logbyzs

We appreciate this effort. We have a few words of choice that we would like to use to describe it which is not also suitable for publication.
A reputation formed during a life deposited by Elon Dérangement. Now we know who and what he is – an awakened clown pretending to be a “conservative”. https://t.co/t7zl2fasnp

There is a reason why each time we write on Brooks, we put the word “conservative” in quotes.
“They will believe anything.”
David Brooks, first -rate specimen.

CS Lewis was a brilliant man.
The latter class of people is exactly Brooks speaks because he knows they believe that his BS says.
“Give money to the Fedspayer Feds to use as a melting snow fund”, or millions of people will die “, is a heduluva, heduluva, @Nytdavidbrooks https://t.co/7mwllGy2ij

Of course, by making his slanderous comparison of musk with Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, Brooks also showed that he was unaware of the real history of these men enough.
My point to remember is that Brooks thinks that Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin are only semi-responsible for the death of something like 100 million humans … For a curator, it is … certainly a catch. https://t.co/umypkopd8c

He plays with his language here (probably so that Musk cannot continue him), but in doing so, he leaves three of the most genocide maniacs in history. Or, at least “semi”.
Basically, with the exception of cries and mouth mousse, Brooks turned into Keith Olbermann.
And when the millions do not die from Elon's hand, there will be no retractions or excuses. Rinse, repeat. https://t.co/xlnkkamu2l

Of course, they will not apologize.
They already know that this is not true today, and even less projected in the future.
Not an image, no name will be produced and linked to a death.

If the media (or bono) had tangible evidence like this, they were plastering it everywhere in each title.
But they don't. And they will never do it. They simply push them to act without evidence to try to dirty musk and any other person in the Trump administration as much as possible.
The rhetoric and propaganda that these people grow is absolutely obvious.

It's sick. And disgusting.
Tesla shareholders should continue David Brooks for having slandered their business.
And why do we no longer have a media guard dog for standards?
All people do is lie and dirty and yet there is never any repercussions.
And not one more penny for PBS or NPR.

This excavation at Tesla and SpaceX workers at the end was really reprehensible.
Fondisse PBS now! American taxpayers should not have to pay their dollars hard earned to obtain brainwashing in return with nonsense like this. https://t.co/nbaqdzkcef
– Swolfe (@Shorayw) June 1, 2025
There is no reason why PBS has a single penny of taxpayers when it is the product they publish.
But we are sure that when this funding is withdrawn, and he hope it will be soon, Brooks will probably compare Musk and Trump to Hitler, Idi Amin and Kim Il-Sung.
