Scott Jennings Nukes Julie Roginsky And Democrats' Narrative On Elon Musk

Posted • December 22, 2024: If you've been reading political news over the last several days, you know Democrats have a new talking point. As the tale goes, far from the humble, people-led affair of the Biden administration, the federal government has now become an "oligarchy" ruled by Elon Musk. Why? Because the billionaire said Congress shouldn't pass a pork-filled 1,500-page continuing resolution. The horror, right? Naturally, the attacks on Musk and incoming president Donald Trump, who is now being touted as a "puppet," were picked up by CNN's liberal analysts. What they forgot is that Scott Jennings exists, and for the time being, there's some actual truth being shared on the left-wing network. Scott Jennings doesn’t miss. Astonishing. https://rumble.com/v61jd88-trope-trounced-van-jones-foolishly-plays-the-unelected-billionaire-card-on-.html

I'll get to Jennings' smackdown momentarily, but I want to address the framing here. If Jones believes that the outrage over the 1,500-page CR was restricted to Elon Musk, he's delusional. The popular outcry was extensive and began before the Tesla and SpaceX owner said a word. What Jones is really saying, though he won't admit it, is that social media sites like X are giving normal people a voice in their government they haven't previously had. At the end of the day, it was "elected officials" who decided to not vote for the original deal. That they were influenced by the masses is a good thing. -- Hammer, meet nail. For Democrats to now fear-monger about "unelected" people running the government is to ignore that's precisely what has happened throughout President Joe Biden's term. How does that compare to Musk making a post online? It doesn't. What he did was public and out in the open.

People were able to decide whether to agree with him or not, and in the end, it was elected officials who chose to come up with another deal. That's democracy in action. What's not democracy in action is a bunch of nameless figures running the government behind the scenes while lying to everyone about the president's senility. Jennings wasn't done, though. Later, he would appear on Abby Phillip's show and be faced with the same talking points. Once again, he was ready. Scott Jennings hilariously mocks CNN panelist when she can’t decide whether Trump’s a dictator or merely a puppet for Elon Musk. Wait till you hear her answer at the end. -- Julie Roginsky: “Elon Musk is puppeteering Donald Trump and every other member of Congress that he wants to, and every other member of Congress that he wants to benefit Elon Musk.” -- Scott Jennings: “In October, in October, the principal Democrat argument was Donald Trump is going to be a dictator. And today it’s Donald Trump is just being puppeteered by other people. Which is it?”

Julie Roginsky: “It could be both.” 🤡 Hang on just a second because, as Jennings will go on to note, that's a serious allegation. Did Musk oppose the 1,500-page CR because it didn't "directly benefit" him? That should be pretty easy to figure out. What is in the 105-page CR that passed that wasn't in the original deal? If Roginsky can't define that, then her claim is baseless. I'll go ahead and spoil it for you. She didn't provide any evidence for her allegation. Democrats are so desperate to turn things in their favor that they can't help but flail like this. If Trump is a ruthless dictator ready to turn America into his personal fiefdom, then he can't also be a powerless puppet being controlled by Musk. That makes no sense at all. The charge that it's somehow wrong for people to call their congressional members to tell them not to vote for a crappy CR is also pretty insane to me. Who does Roginsky think is in charge of these "elected officials?"

In the end, Musk did nothing wrong here, and his involvement is not proof of an "oligarchy." It is proof of an information age where politicians can no longer hide what they are doing from the American people. Far from being a negative, that's a great thing.
