Judd LegumMusk encouraged everyone to vote Republican in the midterms, endorsed Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, and has repeatedly catered to far-right provocateurs on Twitter
It's pretty fucking simple
Tim Trautmann 📷@juddlegum not to the geniuses at the New York Times. I can visualize the hand wringing.
Wizard Bear (💉x8 + 😷)@juddlegum The NYT continues to shill for the RW. It's pretty simple indeed. TY Judd for all you do.
Peter Principle@juddlegum This is what political coverage at the NYT now exists to do -- blur the distinction between oligarchical libertarianism and outright fascism.
Trent 
🇨🇦@juddlegum It's the New York Times Pitch Bot in real life.
@trentbaur @juddlegum I miss that account from the bad place the most.

Shanya (Over at BlueSky)@juddlegum "Is Musk a fascist with conservative leanings, or a conservative with fascist leanings? Detailed analysis inside."
sp00pkitt3n@Almafeta @juddlegum chris cilizza level takes at the NYT
TrismegistusMx@Almafeta @juddlegum Musk's father is an actual child molesting fascist and there's not a woman on earth capable of loving him, even his mother.
Conclusion: He'll continue to be a woman-hating fascist unless he realizes he doesn't need daddy's approval and he's able to win the love of a mother analogue. Classic Oedipal complex complicated by obscene wealth.
Milcom Miasma@Almafeta @juddlegum But don't they both end up resolving to the same thing in the end?
@juddlegum dude is literally taking advice from ian miles cheong--who hasnt even stepped foot in america but spends all day cucking for our homegrown fascists. the most pathetic worm on twitter
Deirdre Statham@juddlegum How does one reveal something that was never a secret?!?
Moved to @@juddlegum Not only that but he has been attacking prominent democrats for years now.
Karl Schwartz, Artist advocate@juddlegum
Someone should run a voting-poll on twitter calling for banning Musk from twitter.

luneellise21 (xe/xer)@juddlegum how are we sure this is not ghostwritten by Bari Weiss...

@juddlegum "News Analysis" both those words mean something but I'm not sure the NYT knows what.
Keith Ammann@juddlegum It's complicated only in the sense that most of our "conservatives" aren't actually conservative at all but rather reactionary, authoritarian radicals.
Stan Diego
Pamela K Gilbert@juddlegum it is very simple
Blue in a Red World@juddlegum My thoughts exactly.
@juddlegum it's disturbing that in America the word "conservative" has become a synonym for right-wing fanaticism.
DanielMusk: Quack.
Media: We think-
Musk: QUACK!
Media: -that maybe-
Musk: QUACK! QUACK! QUAAAAAAACK!
Media: -it's possible that-
Musk: CHECK OUT MY FEATHERS
Media: -he might be-
Musk: CLOACAS MAKE ME SWOON
Media: -passingly interested-
Musk: DUCK LIVES MATTER
Media: -in birds?

Brandon Withrow@juddlegum I mean, he literally said to "take the red pill." He's been showing us who he is for a long time.
Anoosh J@juddlegum The news “analysis” that isn’t.
jadeabliss@juddlegum he’s insinuating former twitter folks are pedophiles…that’s peak Republican. NYT is a joke.
Natalia army of one@juddlegum he only interacts to validate extremist white supremacists and conspiracy theorists from the right wing and has the gall to call it "neutral"! Miss me with this blatant hypocrisy! There is a difference between free speech and hate speech! Whether he computes it or not!
MrJoshua@juddlegum further more, he’s revealed himself as a foreign accent. Besides all the right wing crap, he’s sided with China and Russia.
@MrJoshua @juddlegum And Saudi Arabia
@juddlegum @TFFPrisoner Correct. My mistake leaving them out. They are the second largest share holders.
Michelle@juddlegum new to Mastodon and just had to follow you when I read your name "Judd Legum" but can't help but read your handle as "Juddle Gum" which will totally brighten my day anytime I see it cross my feed. Kind regards
Peter Butler@juddlegum Probably more fascist/white nationalist than "conservative." His whole schtick is the old "anti-woke" racist stuff.
Alice Schwarze@juddlegum I think the complicated part is figuring out if endorsing Republican candidates makes you a conservative or a fascist
David@juddlegum Musk is not a “conservative”. He’s a Republican. For example in the battle between the New York Times and the union, Musk won’t side with either one because it’s “Woke vs Woke”. For Musk, all of his opinions are based on how “woke” you are.
@david1 @juddlegum What a joke he is. A bad one, sure, but a joke nonetheless.
Tofu Golem@juddlegum
Elon Musk: I'm letting all the Nazis back on Twitter and banning anyone who ever criticized a Nazi.
NY Times: Oh my gosh! Elon might not be neutral! He might be slightly right of neutral.
Holy fucking fuckcakes, NY Times. He's a fucking Nazi. A fucking Nazi took over Twitter, and you still won't call him what he is. This "unbiased" reporting is why the world is this fucked up right now. Fuck you very much, NY Times.
Renee Malo ✨@juddlegum The House GOP tweet “Kanye. Elon. Trump.” proclaimed him (in a recently deleted tweet) as a lead in their latest Firehose of Sh*t strategy to occupy the media narrative louder than any productive or positive conversations. Every day, one of them cranks out some awful statement, grievance or rehash about the past to keep people from talking about the future.
NYT’s bullsh*t, gaslighting, both-sides-ing headline is part of the machine.

Todd Walker@juddlegum never gonna regret cancelling my NYTimes subscription, am I?
Reverse Watergate@juddlegum 1 + 1 = it's complicated

Chris ♾️@juddlegum I think a simpler explanation for his mid-term shit-show is not that he has long-standing right-wing beliefs, but rather that he doesn't have a coherent political ideology of any kind and just wants a world that is powerless to tell super-wealthy people like him what to do.
Sure, that dovetails nicely with what the right seems to want- but then, the right might just want that because it's what their patrons want

Andy Hall@juddlegum more New York Times both sidesism at its finest
Eggmont 🐘@juddlegum
Remind me. How do you spell "Conservative" with "AF?"
"Authoritarian Fascist" may be a redundancy, but it most certainly is not synonymous with "Conservative," though it can be used as a modifier as in: Elon Musk is a Conservative AF.
Char@juddlegum it’s very simple & very fucking dangerous too.
MessagingMatters@juddlegum I would tell NYT to do better, but I think they are well past the point of being able or willing to do so.
Leogorrus@juddlegum well, he's a reactionary not a conservative I guess. Not what they mean of course
New York times would also say "Critics say Hitler is an antisemite. It's not so simple."
Oh wait, they actually did that...
Justin Flood@juddlegum up until recently he was super close to Ye, a guy who is an avowed lover of Hitler and Nazi's. I'd say there's a good chance he's more than just "conservative".
jakelondon@juddlegum That's like something the NYT Pitchbot would spit out.
Rubicon@juddlegum Jeremy Peters sheesh. Going for the Baker/Haberman Gaslighter Award
Nlroundabout@juddlegum I despair for The NY Times. I remember the good old days.
Chris Hanson@juddlegum The twist is that he's not a conservative, he's a full fascist!
@juddlegum nyt is such trash. I still can't believe I spent years of my ug days reading it cover to cover
Twitter Death Cult@juddlegum NYT Pitchbot has less outrageous headlines than this
Horst Albermann 🇪🇺🇩🇪@juddlegum @donmelton His 'views' may leave room for interpretation.
Judge Musk by his actions. From his campaigns against public transportation to his treatment of employees. 🤮
Britstralian@juddlegum So, it turns out Space Karen is a cooker.
A space cooker with EVs, perhaps
but a cooker nonetheless...

ToAllPointsWest@juddlegum Agreed!!!
Eliot Lear@juddlegum It's easy to pidgeon-hole people. but that doesn't help a dialog, now does it? With that in mind, how about discussing the content of the article as opposed to whining about the headline?
