Elon Musk is certainly not without his baggage (continuing to cultivate a cozy relationship with the Chinese government would definitely qualify as some pretty heavy baggage), but for some reason, a whole lot of Musk’s liberal critics seem to feel compelled to just make crap up about him.

Like this from the Washington Post, for example. Elon Musk recently went after far-Left billionaire puppet-master George Soros, and WaPo sees that as further confirmation that Musk is an increasingly outspoken neo-Nazi:

Just in case you’d forgotten that George Soros is a Jewish billionaire. Because Soros’ defining characteristic is that he is Jewish and not a super shady far leftist with a super shady far leftist agenda that is not philanthropic in any sense of the word. Remember that the Washington Post never went to the mat for Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson like this.

More from WaPo:

Elon Musk made a series of attacks on George Soros overnight, tweeting that the Jewish-born investor and liberal philanthropist, who often is subject to virulent antisemitic conspiracy theories, hates humanity and “wants to erode the very fabric of civilization.”

Musk, who has overseen an increase of antisemitism and other hate speech on Twitter since he bought the social media platform last year, did not give a reason for singling out Soros. But he made his comments three days after Soros’s investment fund reported that it had sold all its stock in Tesla, the electric carmaker that Musk also runs.

Is Elon Musk secretly a vicious antisemite? Anything’s possible, technically speaking. But if this is WaPo’s evidence, we’re not impressed.

So maybe Musk was just taking shots at Soros because Soros sold his Tesla stock? Meaning that this actually had nothing whatsoever to do with Soros being Jewish? Way to undercut your whole premise, WaPo. Great journalism as usual!

Well, whether or not anyone buys it, legacy media outlets like the Washington Post are determined to keep selling it.

That’s a rhetorical question, of course.

And liars. Don’t forget the liars part!
