REID: Musk Misses Apartheid, Wants Conservatives to Attack Jews, Women

Breaking News

Just when you think MSNBC’s Joy Reid can’t sink any lower, she turns around the next day and makes a comment viler than the previous day. Case in point, on Tuesday night’s The ReidOut, Reid spent a second night freaking out over Tesla CEO Elon Musk buying Twitter. 

“Elon Musk’s companies have a history of open racism, you know. There’s been this lawsuit against Tesla and he himself is a troll so his idea of freedom means freedom to be a jerk and to be cruel and to have no one be able to stop you,” Reid wailed before turning to guest Jason Johnson to ask for his opinion on Musk’s Twitter takeover.  

Johnson outright lied that Musk will leak Twitter users’ private messages in an attempt to scare viewers: “Imagine if the worst most obnoxious person you’ve ever met had access to all your DMs and had the right to put them out whenever they want. Like that is essentially what people are looking at.”  

Reid took Johnson’s irresponsible commentary and made the most disgusting and outrageous allegations she could think of. The deranged race-obsessed host accused right-leaning Twitter users of wanting free speech so they can “come in and be able to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and then not have anyone be able to stop them.”

“The thing is the enjoyment they get out of being in this town square is being able to harass people, being able to attack people,” Reid huffed. 

Yet she wasn’t done with her lying. Without providing any evidence, Reid claimed “there was a time when people had the double hashtags around their names because they were Jewish and right-wingers were saying get in the oven any time you made any benign comment on Twitter. They attacked women. You know, the misogyny was crazy on Twitter for a while.” 

To top it all off, she turned her rage toward Musk claiming he wants Arpatheid South Africa back: “He misses the old South Africa in the 80s. He wants that back.”  

This entire temper tantrum was all over Musk wanting to uphold freedom of speech on Twitter. They really believe they own these social media platforms.

JOY REID: It was distressing to a lot of people, not least of which the people who work at Twitter. 

JASON JOHNSON: Right. 

REID: Who you know in, their internal Slacks are really— a lot of them are wringing their hands, probably not all of them but a lot of them just worrying about what becomes of their company. Elon Musk’s companies have a history of open racism, you know. There’s been this lawsuit against Tesla and he himself is a troll so his idea of freedom.

JOHNSON: Yeah. 

REID: Means freedom to be a jerk and to be cruel and to have no one be able to stop you. What do you make of this takeover? 

JOHNSON: It’s a real concern. Joy, I was actually talking with my students at Morgan State about this today and I said look, you know, imagine if the worst most obnoxious person you’ve ever met had access to all your DMs. 

REID: Yeah.

JOHNSON: And had the right to put them out whenever they want. Like that is essentially what people are looking at, and I think, Joy, that the real concern here, we have the larger questions about multi-billionaires running conversations. We have the larger questions about our political discourse, but what we’re really also talking about here is when and how our federal government will recognize that social media is also news, that social media is a public workplace. That social media is something that we have to stop pretending that it’s just, you know, teenagers and smart guys out of Harvard and Silicon Valley who don’t know what they’re doing. You have politically minded people like Elon Musk who are trying to dominate public discourse around the world and governments need to get involved.

(…)

REID: And the bottom line is as you said they don’t want to just be in the club. They have been described as being on the outside of the culture looking in through the glass, but they don’t just wanna come in. They wanna come in and be able to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and then not have anyone be able to stop them. The thing is the enjoyment they get out of being in this town square is being able to harass people, being able to attack people. There was a time when people had the double hashtags around their names because they were Jewish and right-wingers were saying get in the oven any time you made any benign comment on Twitter. They attacked women. You know, the misogyny was crazy on Twitter for a while. Elon Musk, I guess he misses the old South Africa in the 80s. He wants that back.
