On Twitter, Musk responded to a message from a user that the newspaper considers the entrepreneur a "threat to national security", while the slogan of the publication says that "Democracy dies in darkness."
But instead, “democracy dies when powerful people use journalism to protect power interests while deceptively claiming they are protecting the interests of ordinary people,” the businessman’s follower wrote.
Musk supported his message.
"Exactly.
WaPo are such hypocrites,” he replied.
A US newspaper article claims that many in Washington praise Musk's national security work but now see him as "too powerful and too reckless."
In particular, the journalists recalled that Musk's "bipartisan efforts" helped him win the favor of Washington: he dined with President Barack Obama and supported the economic advice of President Donald Trump, now the entrepreneur criticizes Joe Biden and claims that he plans to vote for the Republican president in 2024 year.
Elon Musk attracted the attention of journalists with his statements about the settlement of the situation around Ukraine and Taiwan.
So, according to the businessman, Taiwan should be made a special administrative region of China, by analogy with Hong Kong and Macau.
The situation around the Ukrainian crisis, he believes, should be resolved by retaining Crimea as part of Russia, “as it was from 1783 before Khrushchev’s mistake,” and in the regions recently annexed to the Russian Federation, referendums should be held again under the supervision of the UN.
Musk also noted that people living in eastern Ukraine prefer Russia.
After that, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard expressed the opinion that the Biden administration intends to "destroy" the billionaire.
