Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion late last month. He has made his partisan preferences known on the platform, replying to questions from users about his political worldview and his decision to allow Trump back on the site, breaking with major technology executives who try to maintain a neutral posture in the public eye.Trump’s Twitter account was suspended after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
his access last weekend, but Trump has yet to post on the platform, saying he will remain on his own social media site, Truth Social.on his platform on Friday night. “The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service.” Musk’s support for DeSantis comes amid a lack of enthusiasm for Trump’s third White House bid.
You know you could let the fascist do their own work. You don’t need to print this shit like it’s the gospel.
Go Elon!!!
You can report on lies without just repeating them
Totally agree about DeSantis being the GOP candidate in 2024.
Said “NO FLORIDIAN EVER”. DeSantis is a wannabe dictator. He’s very dangerous and an extreme right winger!!
There is nothing 'sensible' nor 'centrist' about mini-Trump wannabe DeSantis.
I love how Elon came to the Republicans defense right before election, thinking his opinion would carry the win, and they got their ass kicked 😂
Wgen Musk gets govt handouts from clean energy Dem govts, he's Left. When the Right wants to keep billionaires tax exemot, Musk is Right. Follow the money not the politics to know where Musk's allegiances are.
Musk is right
Musk is a plant!
elonmusk clearly doesn’t know DeathSantis He’s an abrasive bully whose willing to use federal money to buy votes
This is what happens when Richie Rich buys a loaded gun.
“Sensible and Centrists”😂😂😂
When a person agrees to buy something, it is because he has more profits in this thing, not by maintaining it for its good health but rather by exploiting it more (by destroying it) in search of greater wealth. And that is the evil of selling and buying.
Well, we know what happens when he supports something.
Why is this news? He's a boy with a new toy.
Centrist? Bahahaha! More like Fascist.
Ron was stationed at the gitmo torture facility. What did he do there?
Well elonmusk the damn Redwave does not exist...now let's make Twitter to Twatter
DeSantis is a radical conservative without common sense or integrity. In other words…a user
DeSantis is not a centrist.
He's a right-wing nut job who has banned teachers from talking about racism and acknowledging that LGBTQ people exist. Musk is such a dishonest tool, pretending he cares about freedom of speech.
“Brave” JAG DeSantis never held a town hall during his terms as a Congressiinal Representative. His history during his assignment to Guantanamo prison is scandalous. He will have a hard time defending his actions there.
Nobody cares who musk backs for president
Right...DeSantis is worse than trump...
MAGA billionaire calling Desantis a 'centrist' is quite the tell.
We be fucked.
Centrist! He said, 'centrist.' 😜
Elon, you are a bright man but you are down right wrong on DeSantis being a centrist.
Not a centrist by any means. A cleaned up trump .
Elon Musk is supporting the American people for all the right reasons. Thank you Elon!! I wish he would buy face book too but I would hate to get caught in the path of the melt down. So please wait a while, you have time on your side.
DeSantis . . . Sensible? NO DeSantis . . . Centrist? ABSOLUTELY NO DeSantis struggles with letting people have CHOICE
Washington Post is helping the fascists destroy our democracy.
Trash
DeSatan is a Nazi. Full stop.
What the hell is wrong with you jfc
Love DeSantis, and would vote for him or Trump. Both strong and moral men who don’t back down to WOK. Somebody has to if not already too late. Open Twitter platform will help.
There is no way in hell that I or the people I know would vote for power hungry DeSantis! He is tRump, but worse... I certainly hope people would look at what he has done these past 2yrs in Florida before voting. Not good! That goes for anyone who is running for president!
Not saying he’s bad but DeSantis will do or say anything he thinks people will approve & it’s obvious. He even tried talking & acting like Trump once. We need a POTUS who can be his own person & lead the nation, not someone pretending to be what he thinks we want him to be.
Elon is looking for ways to get back at trump not jumping at posting to Twitter.
Who the fuck cares
Maybe a journalist would push back on BS self described propoganda, rather than parroting his slogans for a national audience.
Elon is a fool. DeathSantis is a bully and a liar.
Good on him . A good sign
Makes sense, the same alternate reality that makes RonDeSantisFL a 'centrist' also makes elonmusk a smart guy.
No matter how many followers one has and the influence that brings he is only 1 VOTE ! In the endpeople make up their own minds
Yikes another 'Very stable genius ' and he now owns Twitter
Trump lite..
Why does it matter who Elmo wants. I want a democrat for president always but nobody cares what I want. And I’m not an asshole like Elmo. Write about me.
Sounds good to me
Not even close to a centrist
If grandstanding to own the libs is “sensible” and “centrist”, then yeah, I guess he’s right
DeSantis, sensible, centrist!?!?!
Stop this. Don't build the ignorant into an influencer.
…compared to hitler
LMFAOOOOOO
Bullshit…GovRonDeSantis is a fascist and a wannabe dictator.
Homophobia is neither centrist nor sensible
Yeah, that guy is a self-serving narcissist who doesn’t like supporting America by paying his share of taxes.
Centrist? Hardly.
ElonMuskIsATroll ElonIsDestroyingTwitter
This is pure propaganda
Calling RonDeSantisFL a centrist is like calling elonmusk empathetic.
Sounds fair !
DeSantis KochNetwork
Centrist?
Centrist if we are in 1400's england
Elon once again has it wrong!
Biden is a centrist...
Centrist😂
Thread by hapkidogal on Thread Reader App
Is this parody?
elonmusk is a smart man.
Washington Post…really? Is this a parody account?
When Democrats become Stalinesque as they are now. Maybe some will wake up.
Unlimited Cash Supply! Florida’s loss is the Country’s gain
DeSantis is going all the way in on fascism in Florida, but sure, he’s a sensible and centrist choice. 🙄
HeyJudeMullen Thiel dumped a bunch on DeSadist too. So 2 billionaires openly backing him.
Oh, so this is what a centrist American fascist looks like. Good to know.
Is 'tweeting into the night' as bad as 'crossing state lines' You journalists sure have a knack for finding the most offensive behaviors. What's next.......singing on a non-church day? Grilling in the morning? When will this madness end
The center of nazi-ism, you mean
Musk is not too bright when evaluating people’s ideals I guess
Sensible
He’s as much a sensible centrist as trump is a stable genius
A weaponized media at it again.. liberalism is a sickness.
Sensible how? He isn’t America’s cup of tea. His campaign would be destroyed before he got started because he is his policies….and they are really bad for America. Buh bye.
To a white man from South Africa, DeSantis would be a centrist.
Musk loves the attention he gets from the right wing and that’s the only reason he’d back DeSantis. DeSantis is not a centrist, he’s a mini Trump, he’s mean and a bully and passes hurtful laws that are not based in reality
Did Musk leave South Africa because he didn't like it after apartheid ended? If so, is he trying to reintroduce it to the US?
If anyone wants to listen to Elon, I say go for it. Backing desantis splits the already flailing Republican party and Trump's supporters will sit this one out. Good luck winning a spelling bee.
Once oppressed people (blacks, women, other minorities) start to make progress, the oppressors (white people, men) claim that they are the ones being oppressed. Ya gotta love the irony.
I think he would support the best candidate who ever that might be!!
Well that's not going to get Trump back on here now is it.
Republicans have already ousted anyone in the party who is a centrist or sensible.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He says this because he is waiting for Trump to re-appear and engage on Twitter. I can see why the misogynist would pick him Cassie is right out of the handmaidens tale and Elon hopes he can find one just like her.
Creep
DeSantis is a centrist among members of the ultra-far-right-wing of American politics, just as Bernie Sanders is a moderate among liberal progressives or Donald Trump is a normal person among sleazebags & scoundrels.
Actual support is how you vote at the ballot box. If Musk votes for 'A' and I vote for 'B' it's a wash. VotingEquality
No he is not. Come on people vote for a Democratic president. No more republican presidents
Where are all the MAGAts?
Ron ran for Congressman in my district as a member of the Freedom Caucus.. NOTHING about Ron is center -- he is extreme right
For a fascist maybe.
You spelled 'facist' incorrectly
Woke is Far Left and not Centrist. I guess it does take a rocket scientist to figur that out. LOL!
All y’all who bought Teslas gave him this platform.
Do words have no meaning desantisnoneofthatcrap
I hope people will watch you testifying under oath about Trumps phone call with Ukraine and how you cryed for your daddy and then watch Joe biden BRAG on YouTube about BLACKMAILING Ukraine to stop investigating his son HUNTER then see the Truth.
Centrist? 😂
Centrist? He is a dictator.
Look at WAPO!!! Spreading propaganda for that band of THUGS!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Elon just doesn’t want to pay his fair share of taxes. DeSantis isn’t a centrist. He has taken away individual rights from Floridians. He has stripped cities of their rights to govern themselves. He has misused the power of his office to illegally fire an AG .
It'd be nice to have fewer tweets from or about elonmusk ... He's as irritating as sand under the foreskin...
Argggghhhhh
That should be an automatic UnfollowElonMusk for anyone that puts good governance over political theatre.
When is the governor of Florida going to reform Florida jails and prisons and mental hospitals...when is the overcrowding and violence going to end in Florida jails and prisons and mental hospitals..
Of course he will they're one in the same except one is richer, other than that who gives a phuck about either
So who'll buy elonmusk's woke Tesla's? Desantis certainly won't
First, The nytimes , now The . Now that America no longer has an objective nationalnewspaper of record willing to serve as 'a watchdog over democracy,' as the U.S. Constitution intended, neither outlet deserves any of its protections under it either.
If tRump is a Tiberius then DeSantis is a Caligula... They are both narcissistic right wing nuts out to destroy democracy. elonmusk you don't care because it serves your purpose to make more $$$$.... Hmm.
Sensible centrist?! On what planet is DeSantis either of those things?!
Ron DeathSentence is is a
DeSantis is a centrist like Elon Musk is poor.
His illegal shipments of immigrants to blue cities, and having black people arrested for bogus voter fraud is sensible and centrist? Elon is a scumbag!
Love it - Lib’s losing their mind, the hate of these people palpable. Apparently anyone who has the temerity to question their Progressive Liberal Orthadoxy is branded an extremist. Look in the mirror folks, grooming minors is not “normal”.
Here’s where trolls start making a bunch of stuff up while wishing they were a brilliant billionaire with influence and not some loser keyboard warrior regurgitating hand fed information
As per Putin’s instructions.
Such a Dangerous Child!!
Oh God the ship of fool’s 🫠🫣
AssangeAThon elonmusk
Just b/c you’re good at Tesla and SpaceX, doesn’t mean you’re good at politics. Perhaps DeSantis is “moderate” - whatever he means - to the MAGA crowd, but he is not a centrist.
DeSantis is a far right, Christofascist wannabes. Trump has him pegged as DeSanctimonious. I don’t see Trump backing down.
WP what a joke
MAGA heads blowing up left and right. “but I thought elonmusk loved us…🤯”
FFS
Fash gonna fash. Might wanna report on that
Centrist lol
How is this news?
Centrist? Among...fascists and mafia hitmen?
So the Radical Right is the center now because Elon Musk says it is?
GOPs like ErrolWebber does not care as long as the billionaire support his party.
Ron DeSantis, the human trafficking guy? Or Ron DeSantis the anti-abortion anti-lgbt guy? Which centrist?
Musk is also closing down prominent left wing accounts and reinstating white supremicists on Twitter. He's also letting a well known far right bigot tell him which left wing accounts to shut down. He's also trolling female Democrat politicians, like AOC. Worth reporting?
No one is going to win other than DONALD J TRUMP! Get over it!!
Gerald Ford and Barack Obama were sensible and centrist choices. The moving of the goalposts over the last few decades has been insane. This is Ron DeSantis and most 2024 GOP candidates in relation to (the metaphorical) West Dillon High, which represents center & sensible.
Saying he’d support isn’t the same as he’d vote for him. 🙄
Dear God if DeSatan wins the presidency, kiss all your freedoms goodbye.
DeSantis vs
aka fascists
That will be a big mistake that can only rival his interference/ acquisition of Twitter and the resulting disaster. A battle he did not want to involve himself, politically. Advise: Stick to technology, Big rocket man.
Who moved the goalposts?
GovRonDeSantis the new Center of the American Nazi Reichstag.
elonmusk It’s Donald Trump’s destiny. Support the man that miraculously&fairly pulled off an ‘epic’ victory in 2016 to be the POTUS. He was undoubtedly cheated in 2020…he has truly earned this opportunity. Without him doing what he did, there is no option
Deep state
Centrist?
WE LOVE DE SANTIS, CRY ME A RIVER COMMIES, LOL
It shows you what kind of extremist bubble Musk is coming from these days. DeSantis record as a congressman alone was extreme. As a governor he's basically been the White Christian nationalist hope of the Republican Party's descent into racist ethnonationalist politics.
I can’t wait to see the dirt Trump has on DeSantis. The civil war in the Republican Party will be amazing. I hope Trump takes the entire party down with him. I hope he loses the nomination and runs as an independent. This will be epic.
💭
Using tax payers’ money to transport ppl deceptively from one state to another sounds sensible, right?
🤣🤣🤣
Centrist he lives in the south in Florida with visiting Nazis and right wing extremists geez.
i don't even think Desantis sees himself as a Centrist
Luckily for us, bots can't vote so 70% of his fanbase isn't eligible
Hilarious really. Centrist?
ElonMusk doesn't know his right from his left, that's the only reason he is confused about the center. His only purpose is to agitate, which gives him far more attention than just being respectable human being.
He back up republicans for Congress , that‘s a good sign , Newsom vs DeSantis 🤣
If by centrist he means authoritarian, then yes, that's DeSantis.
How is anything Elon Musk says newsworthy? Is he the new EF Hutton meme?
IF he is so, he should contact AlliancePTY or some other Centrist Party, instead of being a Republican…
Elon M's opinion is none of my concern .
🤔elonmusk thinking fascist RonDeSantisFL is a centrist tells you all you need to know…
He's very sick
DeSantis is a great candidate
Third positionist = Fascist
You don’t have to report utter Horse shit tho.
Elon Musk is a clear and present danger to America
😆 That is what's passing for centrist in the GOP? More autocratic control from only a slightly different flavor of extreme.
I guess The Conman will go back to name-calling Musk.
Thanks, , but I already have Twitter to read and/or ignore Musk's self-aggrandizing, bully-boy nonsense. But go on, keep up the stenography. It's an excellent way to get me to unsubscribe.
It's scary if someone thinks DeSantis is centrist. That means the left is pro life and the right are currently building gas chambers.
Why is everyone all of a sudden dumping Trump? Trump should run as a third party candidate. Where is this loyalty that republicans had for him? Did they kick him to the curb without so much as a thank you?
Don’t say gay: GAY
Centrist my ass.
Musk may have described him that way, but the Post isn’t obligated to repeat his lies.
🤮🤮🤮
🔶Did Ron DeSantis promise Musk new treatments for his condition? No just a Republican Tax Break!👈
Musk said DeSantis was what? He said what? That DeSantis is a “centrist”? Really? REALLY! Musk actually said DeSantis is a centrist!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oligarch interferes in democracy.
DeFascist is no fucking centrist. 🙄
Prehaps you need to go back through his tweets. He said he wanted someone who was sensible and a centrist in one reply, and when asked if he would support DeSantis, said yes in another reply.
Nice transcribing, Do you plan on performing journalism in the near future?
Please change your motto for god’s sakes. Democracy is dying under your watch and in broad day light and in print.
Love both those guys!
Gross
🤮
When rondesantis comes across as sensible and centrist, you've got BIG problems
Isn’t the Washington Post owned by Bezos? Could have sworn Bezos is a billionaire who funds the DNC and runs coverup for Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
Ron wants to make Florida into DeSantistan. He is as much of a centrist as the Taliban. Religious extremists both.
That tells one all they need to know about Musk. Oh, and if the former guy reads that he will never come back to Twitter.
That elonmusk thinks Ron Don’t-say-gay DeSantis is either sensible or centrist shows just how far to the right of center Elon actually is. Whether that’s a bug or a feature is a matter of opinion, but it’s absolutely true.
DeSantis is anything BUT a centrist, elonmusk.
ANYONE BUT TRUMP
Banning books. Very 'centrist'
Who cares who Elon Musk has calculated will give billionaires the biggest tax breaks and throws his support behind? I don’t.
That’s not saying he endorses him
There is no such thing as a centrist Republican. The mens club feels like they are loosing control.
FakeNews
Desantis is not a centrist. I like Elon overall but he’s wrong on this one.
Who used children as political pawns causing emotional trauma.
Sounds good.
All totalitarian leaders are “centrist” once they’ve eliminated dissent.
*Citation needed
Watching the left melt down on every one your posts is the exact reason why elonmusk buying twitter is so important to a balanced society
Ron DeSantis is totalitarian racist. He didn’t even mandate masks and jabs. If I didn’t have daddy Gov to tell me what to do I’d of died from so many things by now
Frankly, I don’t give two shits what Elon thinks
These replies are hilarious. Liberals seeing how many lies they can come up with about DeSantis. Really entertaining.
Centrist? Pfft!
Centrist from right wing musky point of view
Total nonsense. He’s an authoritarian.
In what world is DeSantis a centrist?
Fascism is now centrist
Centrist DeSantis is trump with a Yale and Harvard education. - vile, bigoted, power hungry, self-serving con man.
He doesn't have staff anymore- who in their right mind would stay? His wealth is melting, he is flotsam in his universe, and threw his new toy to the Lions. I grieve Twitter -he's pushing T. towards bancruptcy.
Dear - DeSantis is every single bit as dangerous as Trump. He will come for the free press too - just like every other fascist has. Stop this bs! You’re normalizing a monster.
I've never seen a person lose credibility so quickly.
Centrist?
Truly shocking that the apartheid fascist would support the racist fascist. A real scoop there. Thanks for the hard-hitting journalism.
If this is centrist, we are in big trouble: - Nickname DeathSantis based on horrible Covid numbers - Being investigated for human trafficking - Anti-science - Anti- history - Anti-teacher - Gay and trans hating - Fascist
jack thanks.
Name a Democrat centrist ? Libs can’t their all commies.
Ron is further off to the right and fascistic than Trump.
To be fair the Democrats are giving everybody every reason to leave the party.
In-kind advertising?
If by 'centrist' elonmusk means GovRonDeSantis is in the center of all that support white nationalism and domestic terrorism, then sure - he's centrist.
DeSantis arrested Black voters, made it illegal to mention homosexuality in schools, set up indoctrination camps for teachers, retaliated against businesses for opposing his agenda, and committed human trafficking for a stunt. Calling him 'centrist' is the position of a fascist.
Whatever!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Centrist and willing to do a bit for normal Americans. Imagine that. DeSantis will get my vote. He's such a better choice than Biden or Trump.
And by running this direct attention peice for them you endorce his actions and stances.
Yeah. I bet. How Ron DeSantis Is Emulating Vladimir Putin
Musk, stick to rocketry and Electric Vehicles
All this because Trump won't get back on Twitter.
DeSantist is a right-wing extremist.
DeSantis is a far-right extremist who is pushing for a national abortion ban with no exceptions. He wants to ban books and eliminate social security and medicare And he's going to raise your property insurance rates over 180%
elonmusk what happened to people that you and the government and US in general? You took billions from the government. I thought you helped. I admired people like you. DeSantis is not a good person. I believe he killed people during covid. I would keep going but I mean nothing.
ElonMuskIsATroll
Tells you everything you need to know about him, his definition of centrist is mini Mussolini 2.0, I wonder what his definition of extreme is?
You have lost your mind !
Centrist in the loony bin segment of the far right
Where is your editorial reminding Americans that sensible and centrist he is NOT!!
Yeah, he's a centrist but it's not too sensible to keep kowtowing to the uniparty establishment.
Desantis is a Centrist? Y’all keep telling me he’s smart.
Respect. DeSantis is a great choice. America will be in good hands.
You realize why he’s doing this, right? It’s so any action that the government might take against Twitter or him (for breaking various laws) he can now claim is politically motivated. See how convenient that is?
A centrist he is not. Neither is Musk.
MoscowMusk
Musk has incredible perception.
The only thing DeSantis is centrist to is a facist and a nazi. He’s a trump clone, but with the ability to form complete sentences. And he has bigger hands.
I’m so glad I blocked that man. Who cares who he’s voting for?
When your political views align with a nazi like Nick Fuentes You have become one of Donald Trump's infamous 'very fine people' Marching alongside goose steppers in tacit approval You'd think this would make elonmusk question his perspective But somehow I doubt that it will
Why are you repeating Musk's bizarre and completely inaccurate description of DeSantis uncritically?
Although I agree Desantis is an amazing governor and person I believe he should finish his role as governor for the people of Florida who just had his back.. he as a great future ahead of him. I personally believe President Trump should get his 4 more years
There you go. Now you can guess why twitter was bought for an inflated price. Political influence? Who knew?
Desantis is not a centrists Elon. That was really stupid.
So he spent 44 billion to buy the next president. I guess time will tell if it’s worth it to him personally, but Americans and women will lose liberty and freedoms, trying to force us all into the Evangelical Christian extreme doctrines.
And...? You forgot to mention desantis' poor character standard.
I DON’T CARE… MUSK, ever heard of staying in your OWN LANE…. TWEETERS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN “WHY TO”OR “WHY NOT TO” than what an owner of TWITTER BACKS… U BACKING DOES NOT INFLUENCE MY BACKING🙃
DeSantis is a cruel, dangerous autocrat. He called Dr. Fauci (a person who dedicated his life to public health) an 'elf' and suggested he be 'chucked across the Potomac.' Does this sound like a person who would be willing to lead all Americans or just his own personal cult.
“Sensible and centrist” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally the funniest joke imaginable
GlennKesslerWP this is your bat signal, do your thing
This is how it started with that orange blob. You repeated verbatim what he said. The person who 'owns' this site was recently tweeting out right wing conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi. How about including THAT in your article?
“Musk incorrectly described DeSantis as a “sensible and centrist” choice.” Fixed it for you.
Centrist? Is this Apartheid baby for real? DeathSantis preaches freedom, yet tells a woman what to do with her body, killed 18,000 Floridians who had Covid with his policies. Hes let an environmental disaster get worse. The Red Tide is spreading like his insurance crisis.
Agreed. Gets things done, fast
De santis fuera de Trump. Fl. Sin Trump. Es mejor. En NY esta mejor.
He’s centrist like FL is a midwest state.
I would never believe any thing from muskis mouth.
Elon Musk said Ron DeSantis is a sensible and centrist choice. I actually laughed out loud when I read that. Thanks Elon.
DeSantis is not a centrist and neither is Elon
“Centrist”? Musk doesn’t know what a centrist is.
I don't think there's such a thing as a centrist fascist. A fascist is a fascist.
Centrist? Another lie Elon.
🤣🤣🤣 low EQ (emotional Intelligence) Musk wants Gitmo DeSantis as GOP nominee in 2024
Refusing to listen to medical professionals, murdering women with ectopic pregnancies, denying the rights of women over their own bodies, and banning books isn't 'centrist'.
Centrist? theFUCKdidIjustread
Yes my right hand is my centre
Centrist! Musk is out of touch.
DeSantis is a centrist on maybe a scale from Oswald Mosley to Attila the Hun
Ron DeSantis is a centrist! That only tells you how far to the right Musky is if he sees DeSandwich as guy in the middle. The only middle DeSantis enjoys is doughnut holes he seems to consume regularly.
As per Trevor Noah, willie wonka who who won The apartheid vote
Whites support white supremacists.
DeSantis is not a centrist.
Sensible? Centrist? what is in the ether
Is that supposed to be news?
You guys are absolute trash! Desantis is a fascist, not a centrist!
how can desantis even be a centrist?! The guy is more right wing than trump
Yes - DeSantis probably looks centrist to someone who grew up in Apartheid South Africa…..
The news is that a billionaire tweeted an opinion about an unannounced candidate in an election in two years?
yuck, and he doesnt live in Florida
I print & Download your coverage of Elmo Muskovite to my 'Welcome to Hell, Elon' folder... it's a long weekend of reading past the headlines.
If by center, you mean, 1000 yards to right, then I'd agree with you.
Just because it’s in quotes doesn’t mean it’s fit to print, you losers.
Ron DeSantis is an unapologetic bigot, an authoritarian, and a thin-skinned bully. Musk is easily manipulated by sycophants.
Lol
Why elevate this bullshit?
Insane
Which party does the owners of the Washington Post and other media outlets donate and support by the way?
Centrist?
It says a lot about how far to the right Musk is that he thinks Ron DeFascist is a 'sensible' 'centrist'.
Yep, a Book Banning, Homophobic, Racist Centrist. FFS! 🙄
Smart guy.
Ooohhh…now that elonmusk tells me DeSanctimonious is the centrist choice…I’m on board!
Right in the center of the pro-fascist movement.
Lol DeathSentence DeSanctimonious is nowhere near close to “sensible or centrist”. He is quite literally the most Florida Man of all Florida Men. I look forward to voting in the 2024 primary against Trump and DeSantis.
..he needs to stick to making Teslas..
That elonmusk…. Just jerking everybody’s chain and trying to get a rise out of them. Trump has met his match and he won’t like it. Bring it on!
Elon will support Dictator DeSantis. He needs to be careful for He better be ready to do it DeSantis way or hit the highway.
If Musk actually said that, he does not know DeSantis - better do some more research!
Voted for Trump 2x. Lost me over all the election denial nonsense and Jan 6. GovRonDeSantis has an outstanding bio. We need a restart. Please take note GOPLeader brithume SenTedCruz RNCResearch LindseyGrahamSC LeaderMcConnell TuckerCarlson RandPaul
if you keep posting shit like this democracy really will die in darkness, desantis is a fascist
Why are you reporting this? There is absolutely no reason why a major newspaper needs to be reporting everything that comes out of that man’s pie hole. He owns the biggest social media platform in the world. Stop treating Musk like a God, reporting his every word as important.
A centrist lol! Give me a break !
Doesn't musk know/have anything intelligent to tweet?
Business failures vote for the shittiest candidates but that's for the culture section.
Love it.
To observations 1st as a resident of FL...Desantis is NOT a centrist. He is as right wing conservative as they get. 2nd elonmusk wants an R president for the same reason as ever billionaires with no morals. He want tax breaks and socialism for the mega wealthy
1) In what way is DeSantis a centrist? 2) How is this newsworthy?
And we're supposed to care because...?
Oh but he’s not
Fascist lite.
DeSatan doesn’t believe in free speech nor freedom. 🤷🏻♀️
This is how this platform and media will be used to further mainstream white Christian nationalism.
lflorepolitics Let’s get honest….who gives a fuck?
Yeah, I'm good on that. I'm pretty sure Elon Musk is the posterchild of 'what NOT to do' at this point. He was celebrated when he stepped in to help Ukraine but he's been a jerk since then. He seems to be in a race to the bottom with Kanye.
The dunce said what now?
But is DeSantis a centrist? Seems like the kind of lie the [checks notes] WASHINGTON POST...should call out?
He already has a platform he doesn't need you boosting it. Hacks
First, they came for Disney, and I said nothing, because I was a narcissistic blowhard…
Centrist? Much like musk, desantis is a right winged evangelical in nature who states that God has appointed him to be the protector of Florida. He posted a message recently which mentioned God 10 times. He states Florida will be antiwoke and this includes.
No matter as Trump will win the primary and the Musk will vote Trump. A D vs F election for him.
And the Washington Post will report every time Elon Musk inhales and exhales. Who cares who he supports?
morgfair GovRonDeSantis is to the right of Benito Mussolini, one boot step ahead of tRump.
...hanging out with David Sacks.
This is false. He never described DeSantis as a 'sensible centrist.' He said that he would prefer someone that is centrist. Then someone asked if he would support DeSantis and he said yes. This does not imply that DeSantis is his preference! Get the logic straight. See evidence:
He’s an effed up billionaire.
Centrist?
That Musk describes a fascist as “sensible and centrist” tells us everything we need to know about his politics. Why are you reporting this as if it’s a coronation ?
Lolol If DeSantis is a centrist, then I'm tall as a giraffe. (In reality, I'm short...very short).
OMG if Musk thinks DeSantis is a 'sensible and centrist' choice we have major problems on the horizon! What troubles me most about this is that Musk thinks since he owns the platform he can use it to express his radical views. I liked it better when the CEO kept to himself online
Thanks to Musk it's time some people have God given sense .... Instead of all the evil pushed on our country by evil.
Is there a Centrist Nazi Party?
That's a guy who doesn't understand either of those words.
ReflectingMan As if Emerald Snowflake in a raging midlife crisis is the one trusted with knowledge about 'sensible' and/or 'centrist' 😆 Narrator: DeSantis is exactly the same trafficking,extremist,ignorant, misogynistic right-winger as Trump, but with a law degree.
Dildos backing dildos
1. You should address false claim DeSantis is a centrist in your headline. 2. No one needs to know every utterance of this rich white nationalist.
Do I need to cancel my subscription? Are you going to continue journalism or horse crap? Let me know!
Well he's a dictator
even after he sold fentanyl laced laxative to Florida seniors? Say it ain't so Elon
Ron DeSantis is horrible
When you’re a far right troll who calls himself a centrist people 1mm to the left of Mussolini are centrist
What a hypocrite doble standard
His definition of centrist = right wing extremist. It’s laughable he thinks he’s too is centrist. He need only re-read his white supremacy leaning tweets.
On what planet is DeSantis a centrist?!?
A centrist who doesn’t believe in the first amendment lol
I do not think the word centrist means what Elon thinks it means.
'Centrist' 🤡
Never trust a billionaire.
'Sensible and Centrist' when you're a right-wing tech douchnozzle
He grew up in South Africa, right? Apartheid only ended in early 1990s.
He’s every bit as evil as the former occupant.* Only differences are that he’s actually smart, and capable of learning from his mistakes. Scary combination for a Hitler wannabe like DeathSentence. Elon Musk is a national security risk.
“Centrist”
Centrist! 🙄 FFS
So that’s their propaganda move. Framing Desantis who’s a right wing extremist as a centrist
Did anyone at stop to ask themselves why they consider this news? His views on electric vehicles, private space flight and the future of Twitter are news. His views of national politics are just some guy spouting off.
Only two questions remain about Musk: Is he incompetent because he’s crazy or for some other reason? Has he always been a right wing authoritarian, who coddles fascists, racists, bigots, and homophobes, and is probably one himself, or is this something new?
Mention Desantis and the snowflakes start with the name calling. Nevermind the Desantis stance on abortion - 15 weeks is aligned with nearly 80% of country. Nevermind his handling of the hurricane. Nevermind that normal people think talking about sex to 8 yr olds is weird.
Musk isn't wrong. I'm Independent and DeSantis will best represent America.
Bezos, you’re jealous aren’t you, little buddy?
Centrist? Seriously?
DeSantis is the centrist choice if you're comparing comparing him to South African Apartheid.
'Sensible and centrist'. Would you like to do any journalism on that Washington Post? Or is your job to repeat absurd talking points in your headlines and Tweets over and over until they become 'facts'? Rhetorical question, we know what your job is.
Ahh yes the 'centrist'
1 guy 1 vote who cares
The continues to uncritically amplify lies, instead of clearly informing readers that DeSantis is VERY right wing. Why?
LOL….”centrist”
If
Ron DeSantis is a 'Centrist.' Also,... Bedbugs make GREAT pets. Penguins will eat your kids every Thursday. The letter k is imaginary.
ReflectingMan ron is neither elon's a fraud and a fool
Fascist Prick.
Centrist, right between Nazi and white supremacist.
Kindly stop elevating what Elon Musk thinks to big news. Ugh.
“centrist”?
Centrist…not to confused with moderate 😉
Desantis is the only politician I’d vote for. He’s the only one that stood up for peoples’ rights during the democrats’ lockdown era.
He speaks the truth.
So the center of batshit insane dictator and wanting people to not go bankrupt from a doctors visit is closet racist homophobe, got it.
Book banning, speech censoring, attacks on LGBTQ community, writing his own redistricting maps, using taxpayer money to lie to immigrants and take them elsewhere, yeah that sounds centrist to me 🙄🙄🙄
DeSantis is a fascist.
DeSantis is anti-science.
He's NO centrist
DeSantis is anything but centrist. He’s just a more intelligent version of TFG.
DeSantis is centrist only if you consider homophobia, misogyny, and xenophobia as centrist politics.
“Centrist”
The guy who bans books, restricts teachers and students from discussing gay and trans issues, goes after businesses who don’t follow lockstep with his homophobic/racist policies? The one who suppresses voters? Yeah. Centrist. Jesus.
An Authoritarian Thug, Sensible and Centrist.... Bull 💩.
♥ Trump/DiSantis 2024 ticket♥
DeSantis2024
Why wouldn’t he choose a tax evasion party leader, that is what Republicans are known for right? Fascism for sure!
Democracy Dies on Twitter.
Wow who saw that coming 😏
That man does not know what either of those words means
Stop being a stenographer. There is NOTHING centrist about DeSantis and he’s even more authoritarian than Trump. Report THAT properly. Jesus, this isn’t hard.
This is exactly what I mean. Free political advertising on Twitter and from the echo chamber. Musk's ownership really needs to be challenged because he using Twitter for his own political purpose and has unlimited private money to do it with. POTUS FBI
DeSantis is neither of those. Hope he is in prison by 2024.
Elon Musk said he will back fascist authoritarian Ron DeSantis claiming he is a centrist. There is no evidence DeSantis is a centrist.
DeSantis is neither of those things
so glad to see you cover the crimes and the cowards behind the crimes. Can’t wait to see the Op Ed.
Sensible and centrist?
DeSantis is definitely not a centrist.
elonmusk is an ultra wealthy buff**n.
Lol Trump is more a 'centrist' than DeSantis.
well if there’s one thing Elon does well it’s connect with men in power with no charisma or social skills
Who cares? Is this really news? You're going to give this turd the same coverage you give and gave trump. Thank God he can't run for president. 'Tweeting through the night'? I am so disappointed in this newspaper.
He’s neither.
Just another reason not to buy a Tesla for sure.
It feels like media is treating Musk as they did 2015 Trump Clearly learned nothing.
Who cares what this egotistical person thinks.
DeSantis as centrist is peak Elon
Lmao at Centrist. This is the governor that overruled the legislature to gerrymander African American majority out of a seat. He removed a duly elected district attorney for prosecutor's decisions and is controlling what is taught in classrooms. He is an autocrat plain and simple
Your JOB as both journalists AND a newspaper is NOT to post quotes that AREN’T true. One look at how DeSantis rules FL proves he is neither sensible nor a centrist. BeBetter DeSantisIsTrumpOnSteroids
Both Trump and DeSantis are good. Trump 2024; DeSantis 2028.
Honestly, I’m just struggling to get my gfm seen because since Elon took over Twitter it’s been nearly impossible, Fighting cancer and trying reach as many as I can. Any help is greatly appreciated, even a retweet. FuckCancer
if only it was all about sensitivity and geometry
Elon Musk is better to back Donald Trump! Otherwise, Trump can get him fired in a second! MAKE AMERICA LAUGHABLE.
'i am neither conventionally right nor left'
Why does the owner of Twitter keep declaring his political preferences? Is this a good business decision or a more sinister move?
When you start calling DeSantis a 'centrist', you've lost your center. DeSantis is left of Hitler . . . maybe.
So I guess you're just going to let the 'centrist' comment stand unchallenged? Do better, .
Really “centrist”…OMG , are you HIGH?
Yeah ok
Why are you printing his false claim without fact-checking it?
Biden is a centrist compared to DeSantis
White liberals hate DeSantis. Minorities love DeSantis. All I need to know.
Lmao imagine thinking DeSantis is a 'sensible and centrist' choice
oneunderscore__ Not sure DeSantis is going to love that endorsement.
Yeah centrist. Who is to his right?
why are u dedicating articles like this to him?
oneunderscore__ He’s only “sensible and centerist” for FASCISTS
Who the f cares I’m not his employee
Centrist?
The left is going to slander every Republican nominee as a White supremacist or Nazi unless it’s a weak RINO like Mitt Romeny or a war monger like Liz Cheney. So, your opinion means nothing to us.
oneunderscore__ So I guess we have fascists, centrists, moderates, democrats, anti-fascists. In that order right to left?
Good idea
Centrists? Haha. Looks like the guy owed too much. Desantis is equal to trump. The only difference is that he is younger and already. Sometimes it's really hard for me to think that musk is smart.
Who gives a crap what Bezos' thinks?
OMG, there's nothing centrist about DeSantis! He's another hate filled republican that wants to ban books, erase history, etc.
So what you need to write something about that, very stupid, He has the right to support anybody He wants, this is a democracy.
Cant knock elon for supporting Desantis...he's a billionaire just voting for his own self-interest. I only get pissed off when rich people try to convince me that their candidate is also in my self-interest. But I'm working-class...there is no candidate representing my interests
Yessss 🙌
The guy us torturing Florida kids and kidnapped refugees for tv coverage and created his own police to intimidate people from voting…NEVER BUYA TESLA!
Desantis is the furthest thing imaginable from a centrist. Musk is telling on himself.
Trump just blocked Musk on Twitter 😂
That’s one way to keep dump off of Twitter.
Aww he just fricking with trump.
Replacing ETTD for EETD.
I guess 'centrist' means something else in Elongated Muskrat's world.
Yeah so does my counselor, but he's Chinese and listens to me, so I enjoy arguing with him one the phone and paying him 150/hr because he has a medical degree and I'm literally ill in so many mult id dvinn sensual ways that it's funny but
'But I voted for Obama'
Lonnie calls DeSatan a centrist. Obviously not the brightest bulb on the shelf.
Centrist isn’t the word to describe desantis
oneunderscore__ Nick Fuentes supports DeSantis too. Maybe 'sensible and centrist' is not the right way to describe the guy.
DeSantis “a centrist” my arse.
MTGA-MAGA-Make Mars Great Again
So sensible! hes fine with banning language and books from schools. What happened to freedom of speech? Or does elonmusk only care about the speech he prefers?
Why pretend this quote reflect reality? You just are awful at your job. Are you unaware that desantis isn’t Centris and neither us musk?
Finally he made a funny joke
I mean if you want to back DeSantis then fine whatever. But doing it under the guise of ce.trism is just stupid.
oneunderscore__
oneunderscore__ Someone’s mad trump won’t post on Twitter lmao
He said he had been a “significant supporter” of the Obama administration and “reluctantly” supported President Biden over Donald Trump in 2020, but had been disappointed with the results of the last two years.
