Avenging Avatar: Legacy Media Grapples With Musk Making Voters The Center Of The Political Universe

Posted • December 20, 2024: Legacy media continues to grapple with Elon Musk. Focusing on the man and not what he also is - an avatar of sorts for long-ignored voters. Those voters are channeling their will through Musk to strike at corrupt, spend-happy Congress critters. It’s the effectiveness of this approach which is shocking and frightening to so many in ‘newsrooms’ and on Capitol Hill. -- Doocy: "Elon Musk is at the center of the universe on Capitol Hill in a way that nobody has ever seen." - “Every Christmastime we have these government shutdown fights, and usually they just complain about it and then vote for it anyway." - “Now, it’s the 𝕏 owner who says that if they ultimately go along with a bill like this, he is going to bankroll a primary against them."

What we are seeing now is the rejection of our most fundamental rights by the legacy media and politicians. Musk’s X allows users to fully exercise their freedom of speech, their freedom of the press and the right to peaceably assemble all at the same time. Musk practices this individually and has invited everyone else to come along. He then takes what others are saying and wanting, and then blasts it at Congress. How dare he! The cope is so strong. They are seething that a private citizen is actually using his LEGAL influence to shape the country and participate in democracy. “You’re not supposed to be competent! We just gave people these rights for show. You’re not supposed to use them!” SAD!

How dare he effectively utilize his platform to publicly expose massive government waste and corruption. How dare he amplify the voices of millions of others that stand against it. How dare voters rally to demand the change in government that they just voted to implement. Unacceptable! Millions speaking out on X stopped Congress from doing something wasteful and destructive. That should be celebrated. It’s funny how all the ‘This is what Democracy looks like!’ crowd is suddenly quiet. (…)
