UFC star issues three-word reaction as Elon Musk reveals plan to "get rid of" Democrats in response to Congressman Richard Neal's comments

Elon Musk recently revealed his intentions to fund moderate candidates in deep blue districts to wipe extreme Democrats out of America in response to Congressman Richard Neal's recent comments. Musk labeled certain politicians as those who didn't "represent" the people and expressed an interest in ridding the country of them.

For context, Neal recently slammed Musk-owned X's influence over the U.S. Congress during a fiery speech. After a clip of Neal's speech was shared on X, Musk reacted to the Congressman's statements and vowed to rid America of Democrats like him. In an X post, he wrote:

"Oh … forgot to mention that I’m also going to be funding moderate candidates in heavily Democrat districts, so that the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them, like this jackass."

Joe Rogan and Elon Musk discuss social media manipulation and censorship

Last month, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk discussed how social media had been manipulated and controlled by parties/entities with vested interests. The UFC commentator lauded Musk for saving media from total censorship by buying X (formerly Twitter).

In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast (JRE #2223), Rogan heaped praise on Musk for changing "the course of history" and said:

"I'm not exaggerating when I say I think you've changed the course of history. I really do. I think you made a fork in the road, we were heading down a path of censorship and control of narratives...What they were doing with social media by surpressing information, it was a combined government effort."

The Tesla CEO responded:

"The reason I bought it [X] was because I was one of the most active users before the acquisition...I was very attuned that if they changed the system, I could tell immediately, and when they de-platformed the sitting president [Donald Trump], that was just insane."
