MNSBC featured a guest who called for Elon Musk to be “prosecuted” in the interest of “national security” in one of the left-wing network’s most deranged segments of the week.
Democrats and their Deep State allies are in a panic that the billionaire Tesla/SpaceX CEO is allowing the X platform to be used for free speech two months before an election critical to their hold on power and Roger McNamee was trotted out to demand extreme measures.
On Friday’s edition of “The Last Word” where the shifty Ali Velshi was filling in for regular host Lawrence O’Donnell, the investor, author, and musician also called for the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Republican members of the House and Senate and to use lawfare to force Musk to impose censorship on the platform, a core value of the Kamala Harris-led Democratic party.

McNamee, who goes by the handle Moonalice, argued that since Musk’s companies Starlink and SpaceX have contracts with the government and since his free speech is “actively undermining” the regime, that “there is a legal case that needs to be prosecuted.”
The cable network has been all over the rebooted Russian disinformation narrative that got a boost when several big-name conservative influencers were caught up in a federal indictment against two RT employees who were funneling millions of dollars to Tennessee-based Tenet Media, and while they were unaware of the scheme, it gave the left a reason to insinuate that all pro-Trump commentators are in bed with the Kremlin.
McNamee’s call for state totalitarianism came after Velshi set the table for him by bringing up the Tenet Media scandal.
“You know, the Department of Justice and the FBI have a lot of work to do. They need to be investigating members of Congress and the Senate,” McNamee said. “They need to be investigating internet platforms, they need to be investigating, obviously, these influencers, but they also need to be paying a visit to some of the members of of mainstream media who have also aligned with Russia,” seeming to suggest that the feds should start kicking down the doors of employees of MSNBC competitors.
“And I think the way to think about this, the way our viewers should think about this, is it’s really a battle between authoritarianism on the one hand and democracy on the other and Russia may have triggered the initial enthusiasm for authoritarianism, and they did it by appealing to fundamentalist Christians in the United States,” he continued, saying the quiet part out loud about the regime’s hatred of people who worship a higher power than the state.
“But over time, that has brought to it billionaires from Silicon Valley, it’s brought to it media moguls, it’s brought all kinds of people who have broken down the traditional role that these institutions would play in our democracy,” he said.
It was the typical Orwellian take by leftists who use the ginned-up threat of “authoritarianism” against “democracy” to justify the sweeping imposition of their own real authoritarianism to crush civil liberties, extinguish free speech, and retain power.
When Velshi specifically asked about Musk, his guest suggested that lawfare should be on the table.
“So the critical element in thinking about Elon Musk is, like any American, he has a right to his own opinion, and he has a right to express his opinion,” he said. “However, that right is not unlimited, and he is under some special limitations that wouldn’t apply to normal people.”
“Because his companies, specifically Starlink and SpaceX are government contractors, and as such, he has obligations to the government that would for any normal person and should for him, require him to moderate his speech in the interest of national security,” McNamee added.
“So what you have is somebody who runs a really strategic defense and aerospace projects for the federal government who’s actively undermining the government, which is paying him, and somewhere in there is a legal case that needs to be prosecuted,” he said.
As the regime’s frustration mounts against Musk, it could use extreme measures to compel him to shut down free speech to ensure that Harris ends up in the White House and lawfare is a preferred method.
