Somehow Elon Musk has morphed from a left-wing hero for building electric vehicles to one of the Left’s biggest bogeymen.
And Musk’s acquisition of Twitter late last week has ultimately pushed them over the edge.
But LeBron James had no answer after Elon Musk exposed his hate speech conspiracy theory with one Tweet.
Left-wing false flags
It hasn’t even been a full week since Elon Musk closed a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, and began a mission to turn the platform into the “town square” it was originally meant to be, where free speech is protected to allow a free exchange of ideas and constructive debate.
Nevertheless, the entire Left – everyone from left-wing activists posing as “journalists” to Hollywood celebrities – have come out in full force to torpedo Twitter with a constant stream of left-wing propaganda claiming so-called “hate speech” and “misinformation” are now running rampant on Musk’s watch.
And obviously, in the world of 2022, no left-wing outrage mob is complete without LeBron James stepping up to throw in his two cents of brainwashed left-wing nonsense into the mix.
On this occasion, James took to Twitter to retweet Huffington Post editor Philip Lewis’ Tweet claiming a “social media research group” had discovered a 500% increase in the use of the N-word on Twitter since Musk’s takeover.
The four-time NBA Champion Tweeted that a level of N-word use typically only seen from rappers was “scary AF,” and somehow pretended as if there was any question over whether Musk and his new team would let such nonsense occur.
“I dont know Elon Musk and, tbh, I could care less who owns twitter,” James tweeted. “But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF. So many damn unfit people saying hate speech is free speech.”

James’ claim that actual hate speech was somehow being defended by free speech supporters was another obvious left-wing attempt to subtly claim free speech is somehow “racist.”
But fortunately, the richest man in the world didn’t reach the point where he could buy Twitter basically as a fun pet project by letting people push him around and bully him into caving on his principles.
The full truth still matters
Musk responded directly to James’ tweet by simply retweeting Twitter’s head of safety and integrity, Yoel Roth, who had already debunked the conspiracy theory and set the record straight.
In his tweet, Roth explained that “nearly all” of the accounts James’ tweet had pointed to were “inauthentic,” and that a very small number of accounts had engaged in a “troll campaign” using the N-word but that Twitter had taken swift action to ban the users.

“Over the last 48 hours, we’ve seen a small number of accounts post a ton of Tweets that include slurs and other derogatory terms,” Roth tweeted. “To give you a sense of scale: More than 50,000 Tweets repeatedly using a particular slur came from just 300 accounts.”
“Nearly all of these accounts are inauthentic,” he continued. “We’ve taken action to ban the users involved in this trolling campaign — and are going to continue working to address this in the days to come to make Twitter safe and welcoming for everyone.”
Of course, Musk himself had already debunked the idea that Twitter would allow racial slurs or anything of the sort for months since he began the process of taking the company private.
He even reiterated that point on Twitter after closing the sale.
“To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies,” Musk tweeted.
But that’s not going to stop the Left and their lapdog allies in the corporate-controlled media to continue to hammer him and Twitter with accusations they’re somehow fostering racism.
Elon Musk’s attempt to make Twitter a neutral town square free of political bias is possibly the biggest threat to the Left’s monopoly on “news” and information yet.
They know that if the American people are allowed to openly question the so-called “mainstream” narrative on issues like COVID, the economy, illegal immigration, crime, or virtually anything else, their house of cards will begin to fall.
But as long as Elon Musk continues to forge ahead, it may be too late for the Left to put the genie back in the bottle.
