‘Rape Office’: Elon Musk Hammers NBC’s Many Scandals

NBC reporter Mehdi Hasan made some not-so-subtle comments calling Elon Musk a “petulant and not-so-bright billionaire” during a broadcast, to which Musk responded Monday accusing the network of building “Matt Lauer his rape office,” among other brilliant troll-like comments.

Grabien Founder Tom Elliott shared the clip of Hasan discussing Musk on NBC under the caption, “If [the “neo-Nazi faction” of the GOP expands in Nov.], we may look back on this .. as a pivotal moment, when a petulant & not-so-bright billionaire casually bought one of the most influential messaging machines & just handed it to the far-right.”

Musk responded to the Tweet, saying, “NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis,” and then adding “Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people.” The response received almost 60,000 likes and more than 10,000 retweets in the first hour.
