Musk fired back on Monday. “NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis,” he tweeted in a thread. “Same org that covered up Hunter Biden laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein story early & killed it & built Matt Lauer his rape office. Lovely people,” added Musk, referring to President Joe Biden’s son, who has come under scrutiny over his business dealings that were illustrated in a laptop that was reported on by The New York Post shortly before the 2020 election, but was dismissed and omitted by mainstream media outlets. Journalist Ronan Farrow claimed that NBC News killed the story of Weinstein, the Hollywood bigwig who was alleged by multiple women of sexual misconduct. Lauer was fired from TODAY in 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment against women.
