Elon Musk calls the US media “puppets” for using the same words repeatedly in their coverage of Kamala’s Fox interview.

Musk’s scathing criticism and the heated debate between Harris and Baier highlight the continuous struggle for media power in the run-up to Election Day. Following Vice President Kamala Harris’s acerbic interview with Fox News reporter Bret Baier, in which Trump complimented the host, Elon Musk entered the controversy. Bret Baier of Fox News just conducted a heated interview with Kamala Harris (AP). Musk posted, referred to the American mainstream media as puppets, and made fun of what he called the media’s predictable storyline, saying, “Who gives the orders to the NPC media puppets? I want to get to know them. In order to avoid using the same terms repeatedly across all media outlets, they should definitely employ a thesaurus. The same individuals are in charge of all these sources, and they have the same script.

Musk was responding to a screenshot of the top Google news stories about the Kamala Harris interview that was shared by Doge Designer, a self-described citizen journalist for X. Watch: Fox News interview with Kamala Harris Following a heated argument between Harris and Baier, the Twitter post swiftly gained widespread attention. Harris made an appearance on the right-leaning network with just 20 days to go before the election to defend her record on important subjects like immigration and the economy. Baier didn’t waste any time in questioning her on the administration’s response to the border crisis, public funding for gender transition procedures, and other contentious issues that former President Donald Trump frequently brought up.

The main focus of the conversation was Harris’s reaction to enquiries regarding the quantity of undocumented immigrants entering the country under the Biden-Harris administration. Harris sidestepped Baier’s question about the number of unauthorised people who had crossed the border, responding, “Bret, let’s just get to the subject, OK? The main idea is that we need to fix our flawed immigration system. But Baier was not going to back down. As he started to say, “So, your Homeland Security Secretary said that 85 percent of apprehensions—” Harris stopped, attempting to complete her statement. “I’m not done yet. She attempted to say, “We have an immigration system—” but Baier interrupted again, bringing up the estimated 6 million unauthorised immigrants who had been allowed to enter the US.

There were furious retorts and interruptions throughout the increasingly acrimonious argument. US media coverage of the conversation with Kamala Harris The story was swiftly picked up by the media, who collectively called the interview “testy.” “Kamala spars with Fox host in testy interview,” CNN said.*

“Harris interview on Fox gets testy— but also gives her a do-over,” was the headline on NPR. “Kamala Harris pledges break from Biden presidency in testy Fox interview,” the Guardian said in response. Musk took notice of this homogeneity and charged that the media was repeating a predetermined story. “In Germany we say ‘Zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke’ (‘two stupid minds, one thought,’ but in this case I would specify ‘ten stupid shills, one script.’” Naomi Seibt, a notorious German personality, echoed Musk’s remark.
