Twitter boss Elon Musk put The New York Times on notice by calling the newspaper “boring far-left brainwashing.”
Musk was responding to a post by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.
“The New York Times says America doesn’t ‘deserve’ Donald Trump, but the Times sure does, especially after winning a Pulitzer for a story botched across years,” Taibbi said on Twitter with a screenshot of some of the bogus stories the paper ran on the 45th president.

Musk responded with:
“It is tragic how far The New York Times has fallen – basically just boring af far-left brainwashing at this point.
“The boring part is truly unforgivable!”

Taibbi said in his longer piece on his substack page:
“Trump was elected in 2016.
“That’s a fact.
“The American political establishment has since refused any honest reckoning about how or why it happened.”
