Billionaire Elon Musk sounded off Thursday via Twitter, commenting on President Joe Biden’s Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board,” calling it “discomforting” while pointing out that the left has become too radical and the “Democratic Party has been hijacked by extremists.”
Musk voted for former President Barack Obama and identified as a liberal. But as things have progressed here in the United States over the last few years, he has found himself becoming ever more conservative according to a graphic he posted on the internet Thursday.
A user on Twitter named Tim Urban commented on the political diagram, contending that both sides of the political spectrum had become more polarized.
“It’s true that on aggregate, the right has moved more to the extreme than the left in Washington,” Urban argued on Twitter. “But the small group on the far left has become very *culturally* powerful & out of fear, the rest of the left has often allowed them to speak (and make policies) for the whole left.”
Today, Elon tweeted this diagram by @SwipeWright, which sums up how a lot of people (including me) feel. Then a bunch of ppl responded w/ graphs showing that Republican politicians have moved farther right in that time than Dems have moved left. Here's what I think is happening: https://t.co/hWDZiRI1k6

“So even though the left hasn’t moved that far left (as is shown by voting results), the left is in a sense being held hostage by their extreme wing, making a lot of people who enthusiastically voted for Obama feel politically homeless today,” Urban asserted.
Shortly after the thread was posted, Musk commented, “I strongly supported Obama for President, but today’s Democratic Party has been hijacked by extremists.”

A self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist,” the Tesla CEO bought Twitter to get rid of censorship on the social media platform. He pointed out that former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform would not exist if Twitter hadn’t engaged in censorship.
Should be called Trumpet instead!

The SpaceX mogul isn’t just upset about the lack of free speech on Twitter and other social media platforms. Musk is concerned about freedom overall.
He has taken note of Biden’s “Disinformation Governance Board” which was put into play to ostensibly control misinformation being disseminated in minority communities connected to upcoming elections. It coincidentally came to light just days after he made his move on Twitter.
Musk called the development “discomforting” on Twitter in response to a tweet by conservative commentator Steven Crowder who compared it to Nazi Germany.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas let the proverbial cat out of the bag during heated testimony in front of Congress on Wednesday that the board had been recently created.
The South African billionaire was joined by Republicans in his apparent criticism of the move that many referred to as a new “Ministry of Truth.”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) called the board a “disgrace” and accused the executive director of the newly formed agency, Nina Jankowicz, of being a “leftist radical.”

Ironically, she previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center and she was also one of those loud voices who pushed the Russia collusion hoax smearing former President Donald Trump.
Jankowicz has also dismissed out-of-hand the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s laptop-from-hell, referring to it previously as a “Trump campaign product,” according to Fox News.
“Back on the ‘laptop from hell,’ apparently- Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op,” she tweeted in October of 2020.
“Trump says ‘Russia, Russia, Russia,” she added.
She now claims that the tweet was simply part of her “live-tweeting” a debate between Trump and Biden one month prior to the presidential general election.
For those who believe this tweet is a key to all my views, it is simply a direct quote from both candidates during the final presidential debate. If you look at my timeline, you will see I was livetweeting that evening. https://t.co/nI7ZgBtTLC https://t.co/4DjBl9bzt0

Other conservatives sounded off on the disturbing emergence of the board.
“Is there anything more dystopian than a Disinformation Governance Board run by the federal government?” Florida Republican congressional candidate Dr. Willie J. Montague tweeted, later calling the board “Orwellian” and Biden a “tyrant” for creating it.

A 'Disinformation Governance Board' is an idea so Orwellian that George himself would probably be mad he didn't come up with it first.

Creating a new Ministry of Truth makes you a tyrant, @JoeBiden!

“They didn’t need a ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ until @elonmusk threatened their control over the narrative,” Texas Republican Congressman Troy Nehls noted.

“The libs spent the last weeks planting the seeds for the back-up plan in case the Twitter deal actually happened,” Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) remarked on Twitter. “Today’s news of a Biden backed ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ is dystopian. They can’t afford to let the truth be anything but what they say.”

“Biden’s ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ is a real-world Ministry of Truth,” Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham declared. “A conservative movement that doesn’t fight this with everything it has isn’t worthy of the name. Or the name American.”

It is hilarious how the left is once again trotting out the line that the republican party and the democratic party switch in the 60s. It is a tired old stupid line and it makes them look even more moronic. They are so afraid of the truth that they have to make up stuff or use the old lines that have been debunked more times than I can count.
I’m sure that Elon Musk is a brilliant man, but Obama was just as extreme as any Democrat of today.
No one thought Obama was that extreme, even into the last years. I did not like him but I did not think he was super leftist. Once he knew he was on the way out he pulled out his race card and began to wave it around. I wonder who Elon voted for in last election since he didn’t say I have to think maybe he voted for Trump. But he also seems to have a bit of a thing against Trump so who knows. I just love how he is calling them out on their crap. I really had no opinion of him before, or maybe a bit of negative one now I see he isn’t what I thought he was, he is far less liberal than I would have assumed especially since he was with that weirdo Grimes.
The communists are so close to realizing their ultimate goal of total control that they are pulling all the stops out. This started when they got obama in office.
Ministry of truth, if that isn’t disinformation in its self. This pResident dictator and his demoncrap libtard communist woketard transgender GHB kool-aid drinking administration, cabinet and politicians in government twists, turns, spins around and jumps over the truth daily. Using these same platforms daily and now that they have lost control of one platform. They will use force against free speech through a government agency that they themselves will be in charge of, sounds like another Jan. 6 communist committee to me. Sounds like stuff straight out of sci-fi movies. Just pointing it out.
I don’t use Twitter Mr. arrogant South African Musk. Twitter is for twits, that’s how it got its name.
I’m guessing that as the enforcement arm of the Disinformation Governance Board fans out across the country, to round up those the Joey regime doesn’t like, they will be wearing brown shirts. Maybe they will even come in brown trucks to make it easier to sneak up on the unwary.
Nobody is buying your Nigerian crap here so GTFO.
“Disinformation Governance Board”. The gubment is by far the biggest liar and spreader of disinformation in the universe. So they will have to censor themselves. We can only hope in this case.
I find it interesting that they would appoint Nina, who has been wrong already several times! The only disinformation is her capability!!!!🤨
Isn’t it interesting that the Democrats have announced their Nazi-like censorship czar two days after Musk announced he is purchasing Twitter?
Don’t ever forget that it was FDR, the Democrat Party and the NYTimes that supported Adolf Hitler during the late 1930s and that support continued throughout WW2, though more clandestine. Today’s Democrat Party is on its way to being more tyrannical than ever.
How does Jankowicz know what a “woman” is if she’s not a biologist?
I actually don’t mind this because the more dystopian libs become, the closer we get to the civil war that’s going to allow conservatives to wipe this filth off the face of the earth.
Oh, please ! There is no Democrat Party.
There is no Republican Party. Musk knows that. There’s only one party. Just two factions having a never ending battle to see who gets to spend the tax revenue on their favorite porksters.
You’re fooling yourself, and if everyone believed your nonsense the libs would already own this country.
This is more than a HighJacking its a White House Down !
“by election results”??? Hasn’t THAT been PROVEN as a VERY UNRELIABLE measurement?? 81 MILLION VOTES???? LAUGHABLE if it wasn’t so DETRIMENTAL to OUR NATION and OUR CITIZENS!
