Tech billionaire and free speech enthusiast<\/a> Elon Musk swore at NewsNation host Chris Cuomo and blocked his messages in a rant over the Mormon church killings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cuomo had quizzed Musk<\/a> for an X post slamming the prominent Jewish anti-hate organization, the Anti-Defamation League<\/a>, accusing it of \u201chating Christians,\u201d as details of the Michigan killings emerged.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ADL<\/a> hates Christians, therefore it is a hate group,\u201d Musk wrote on X<\/a> in response to a statement from an account that posts anti-immigrant content that referenced the racist and antisemitic Christian Identity movement.<\/p>\n

Musk made the inflammatory post shortly after a gunman killed four people at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The screenshot Musk was reacting to, from the ADL website, defined Christian Identity as \u201ca religious ideology popular in extreme right-wing circles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on NewsNation, Cuomo asked, \u201cHow could he think the attack on a Mormon Church in Michigan was inspired by the ADL?\u201d<\/p>\n

The TV host revealed he decided to contact Musk directly to clarify his post. \u201cEverything about this is wrong,\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cI first went to Elon and wanted him to explain this to me. The guy\u2019s a genius.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shared private direct messages between the pair, but did not fully explain their context. One message from Cuomo to Musk read, \u201cI didn\u2019t say you might be killed by the radical left, and you know it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk replied: \u201cP— off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo replied, \u201cStupid response. I did not say that. But you have to know you are dumping gas on the fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on NewsNation, Cuomo said, \u201cHe told me to p— off and then it said I can\u2019t send him messages anymore and I find that regrettable… <\/p>\n

\u201cI guess he does see some limits on free speech because he doesn\u2019t let me have my messages with him,\u201d he added. \u201cI just wish he would limit his own speech. He must know that report can\u2019t reasonably have anything to do with what just happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The host pointed out that the ADL report on Christian Identity was printed in 2017.<\/p>\n

Cuomo said as \u201cthe most powerful man in media,\u201d Musk\u2019s comment about the ADL \u201cwould get him fired if he worked for any self-respecting company, let alone a media platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The host also suggested Musk\u2019s post was potentially dangerous, given his influence and social media reach. \u201cIf we see an attack on the ADL, remember this moment. Musk sent this after the shooting with a screenshot from the Jewish group labelling Christian Identity as extremist.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his segment, Cuomo suggested Musk knew he was being deliberately provocative with his racially based posts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Elon was confused,\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cI think he knows this is what works on social media because he designed it to work this way. Why else would you appear to blame a murder of Mormons on Jews right after the event in such an incendiary way, a reckless way, a way that should not be amplified to 200 million followers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo said \u201ctech bros,\u201d including Musk, have \u201cmade the biggest fortunes in media history peddling the worst of humanity to humanity. There will be more violence, don\u2019t be surprised, because certainly Elon and the others know why.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tech billionaire and free speech enthusiast Elon Musk swore at NewsNation host Chris Cuomo and blocked his messages…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180585,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[91477,49,48,361,91478,250,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-180584","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-adl","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-chris-cuomo","13":"tag-elon-musk","14":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
