‘Liar’ Taylor Lorenz beclowns herself when conservatives make bank under Elon Musk’s new monetization process

July 14, 2023 | | Print Article

Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz really has a hate thing going on for Elon Musk and once again beclowned herself after he announced that Twitter would begin sharing ad revenue with content creators, falsely accusing him of favoring right-wing accounts.

In essence, she’s claiming that instead of paying those generating actual content on the platform, the money should be given to struggling newsrooms and leftists who have spewed hate for Twitter forever and have attempted to move to other more censor-happy venues. That’s a very Marxist sentiment.

This all started on Thursday when Musk made the announcement that payouts were beginning. It caused leftists such as Lorenz to short-circuit and roll in fits of anger on the floor, shriekingly proclaiming “It’s not fair!”

Musk’s content creator payouts ostensibly apply to everyone, despite what Lorenz claims.

Leftist Media Matters joined The Washington Post in its screech-fest over the payouts.

“The first beneficiaries appear to be high-profile far-right influencers who tweeted before the announcement how much they’ve earned as part of the program. Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson, and Ashley St. Claire all touted their earnings,” Lorenz wrote for The Washington Post.

“‘Wow. Elon Musk wasn’t kidding. Content monetization is real,’ tweeted an anonymous account called End Wokeness, with 1.4 million followers, accompanied by a screenshot showing earnings of over $10,400,” she added, trying to invoke division and jealousy among content creators on the right.

Lorenz went out of her way to name those receiving payouts as though it were some kind of sin and not part of helping Twitter show a profit. It’s called “incentive” and God forbid, “capitalism.” Neither of which are terms that seem familiar to Lorenz.

Musk did not mince words upon seeing Lorenz’s allegations.

“Liar Lorenz,” he tweeted succinctly summing up the Washington Post leftist.

Possibly the most hilarious exchange came from Libs of TikTok owner Chaya Raichik.

“Had a nice chat with Taylor Lorenz tonight… . Cc: @elonmusk,” she said, kicking off the thread.

Lorenz has maligned and insulted Raichik constantly but that didn’t stop her from contacting the Libs of TikTok diva over the payouts.

“Hi Chaya, I’m doing a story on Twitter’s monetization program for creators. Did you receive any payout from Twitter? I noticed you haven’t posted on it. Is that because you weren’t invited to participate?” she allegedly asked Raichik, obviously attempting to stir up animosity.

“Please include my full comment. ‘It’s none of your business,'” Raichik appropriately responded.

“You’ve bragged about monetization previously on other platforms, were you not included in Musk’s group? Has your relationship with Twitter soured?” Lorenz snidely asked.

The answer she got next was hilarious and well-deserved.

“My relationship with Twitter has not soured. In fact, it’s thriving! Elon and I are actually dating. Please don’t tell anyone because we’re keeping it quiet. You have a name for being very trustworthy and honest so I know I can trust you with this information,” Raichik snarked.

“We will note that — in a tongue in cheek response — you claimed that your relationship with Musk was thriving. But you did not respond to a question about whether u were receiving payments under the program,” Lorenz prodded.

“I’m writing a story on people who suffer from Elon Derangement Syndrome and refused to pay for a blue check and/or took a lot of their content off Twitter. I’m curious if they have any regrets now that they’re seeing creators get massive cash payouts. Can you give a comment as I believe you fit this category?” Raichik clapped back.

“No,” Lorenz said, dismissing her.

“I will note you declined to comment,” Raichik fittingly responded.

Lorenz was justifiably dragged all over Twitter for her jealous, petty attack against Musk and Twitter:
