Elon Musk’s bigotry is on full display this week, and as Daily Kos’ Hunter wrote Friday, the billionaire, who bought Twitter last year and renamed it X, is facing some serious consequences. 

Musk’s vile views aren’t just quarantined to his personal posts, of course. They’re integrated into how he runs his social media platform. X is bleeding money, but rather than change his behavior, apologize, or try even a little to rid his little blue-check playground of the sort of content X CEO Linda Yaccarino calls “lawful but awful,” Musk doubled down Saturday, threatening the media outlet whose exposé triggered a mass advertiser exodus.

And that outlet, Media Matters, firing back.
