It’s absolutely laughable how the left operates these days. Take Robert Reich, for example, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton. Reich, in his infinite wisdom, recently penned a column attacking Elon Musk, calling him “out of control” and claiming he needs to be reined in. This, coming from a man who served in one of the most corrupt administrations in recent history, is nothing short of hypocritical. But it gets worse. Reich’s entire argument against Musk reeks of the left’s typical double standards. If Elon Musk were a mouthpiece for the left, there would be no such backlash—no calls for regulation, no threats of arrest, nothing. It’s the ultimate hypocrisy, and frankly, it’s disgusting.
Musk’s “Out of Control” Power – Or Just the Left’s Jealousy?
Robert Reich claims that Elon Musk is “out of control.” Why? Because Musk bought Twitter (now X) back in 2022, a move Reich says was driven by a lust for power rather than a genuine commitment to free speech. According to Reich, Musk’s control over X is dangerous because it gives him too much influence over public discourse and democracy. Let’s get one thing straight—what Reich really means is that he’s upset Musk isn’t using that influence to push leftist agendas.
Reich argues that Musk’s purchase of X is just about power, not free speech. But let’s flip the script for a moment. What if Musk were pushing leftist ideals on X? What if he was suppressing conservative voices and promoting progressive nonsense? You can bet your last dollar that Reich wouldn’t be complaining. He’d be praising Musk for his “vision” and “commitment to progress.” The hypocrisy is staggering, but it’s par for the course when it comes to the left.
Reich’s Call for Boycotts – A Pathetic Attempt at Silencing Musk
One of the most laughable parts of Reich’s column is his call for people to boycott Tesla and X. He seriously thinks that consumer activism can pressure Musk into changing his business strategies. Newsflash, Reich: Tesla and X are two of the most influential companies in the world. Boycotting them would require massive public support—something you’re not going to get when people see through your pathetic attempt to silence a successful entrepreneur simply because he doesn’t bow to the left’s demands.
Reich’s suggestion that regulators should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop “disseminating lies and hate speech” on X is even more outrageous. This is coming from the same crowd that screams about free speech every time someone on the right suggests regulating Big Tech. The left wants to control the narrative, and they’re willing to use the full force of the government to do it. If Musk were a left-wing darling, there would be no such threats, no calls for regulation—just silence. That’s the real danger here, and it’s high time someone called it out.
The FTC and the Government’s Dependence on SpaceX – More Leftist Nonsense
Reich didn’t stop at X and Tesla. He also went after SpaceX, questioning why the U.S. government continues to do business with Musk’s company. According to Reich, Musk has shown a “demonstrated disregard for public welfare” and shouldn’t be trusted with critical national security operations. Give me a break. SpaceX has revolutionized space travel, made America a leader in space exploration once again, and is saving the government billions of dollars. But because Musk isn’t toeing the leftist line, Reich wants to cut ties with him. This is nothing more than another example of the left’s pettiness and hypocrisy.
Reich also called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to force Musk to remove “dangerous misinformation” from X. Let’s be clear—what Reich really wants is for the FTC to silence conservative voices on X under the guise of fighting misinformation. The left has always hated free speech when it doesn’t align with their agenda, and this is just the latest attempt to clamp down on it. Reich’s assertion that Musk’s free speech rights don’t outweigh the public’s right to “safety and truth” is laughable. In America, free speech is a fundamental right—something Reich and his leftist buddies seem to have forgotten.
The Left’s True Colors – Using Power to Silence Opponents
Reich’s final point is perhaps the most telling. He urges the public to “make sure Musk’s favorite candidate for president is not elected.” This is what it all boils down to—the left can’t stand that Musk has the power and influence to sway public opinion, and they’re terrified that he’ll use it to help Donald Trump or another conservative win in 2024. Reich’s fear is that Musk’s support for Trump could significantly impact political outcomes, and he’s right. But instead of respecting the democratic process, Reich wants to shut Musk down and silence his voice. It’s the height of hypocrisy, and it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the left.
Let’s be real—the left hates Musk because he doesn’t fall in line with their narrative. If Musk were a puppet for the left, Reich would be singing his praises, not calling for his arrest. The fact that Reich and others are going after Musk so aggressively just goes to show how desperate they are to maintain control over the narrative. They can’t stand that someone with Musk’s resources and influence isn’t on their side, so they’re doing everything they can to take him down.
Final Thoughts
Robert Reich’s attack on Elon Musk is a perfect example of the left’s hypocrisy. They claim to champion free speech and democracy, but as soon as someone with influence doesn’t support their agenda, they call for censorship, regulation, and even arrest. It’s disgusting, and it’s a threat to everything America stands for. We need to stand up to this kind of nonsense and support people like Musk who aren’t afraid to speak their minds and challenge the status quo.
The left wants to control the narrative, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to silence anyone who disagrees with them. Don’t let them get away with it. Speak out, support free speech, and don’t be fooled by the left’s hypocrisy.

god forbid we have free speech ( just another a@@hole demodope)
Watch the Carlson interview of Mike Benz. Reich is the personification of censorship.
Shocked? Not hardly. Robert Reich is a Commie. Always has been. Always will be.
Ban the Demo☭rat Party, arrest everyone for treason, and Banish them to Venezuela.
The radical left is getting more bold. I fear that the only way to save our nation is another civil war. May God help us.
