Members of the liberal mainstream media didn’t appreciate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ joke about having Elon Musk’s support on Wednesday.

After the Tesla CEO announced that he voted for a Republican for the first time ever on Twitter, Musk also mentioned that he was leaning towards supporting DeSantis as a presidential candidate in 2024.

When DeSantis was informed of Musk’s support, he told the press that while he’s primarily focused on the 2022 gubernatorial election, he welcomes “support from African-Americans,” referencing Musk, who is White and was born in South Africa.

Many mainstream media pundits attacked this quip by interpreting it in the most uncharitable light possible, suggesting that the joke reveals DeSantis’ racism.

“If [sic] said before that @GovRonDeSantis is a humorless, more openly fascist version of Trump. Here he is displaying the former quality in that for him, ‘humor’ means mocking Black Americans with his own, idiotic and offensive version of replacement theory. Black Floridians take note,” MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted.

“Is there a joke somewhere in here? I don’t get it,” CNN commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro wrote.

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen tweeted, “I understand the ugliness of what he‘s doing here because I am a member of a minority too. We are not a punch line & neither are Black Americans. Jokes about skin color & physical features have no place. This is sick.”

“F*ck all these people,” The Nation correspondent Elie Mystal wrote.

ABC contributor Yvette Simpson tweeted, “And we thought we couldn’t do worse than Donald Trump. They are saying the ‘racist part out loud’ and laughing about it. No more white sheets—-it’s all out in the open now.”

Musk also received backlash for his tweet about voting for Republican Mayra Flores, including from Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.

“Elon Musk is not a leader. He’s just another Republican billionaire who supports white supremacy and authoritarianism because he doesn’t want his workers to unionize or to pay his fair share in taxes,” Bowman tweeted.

Flores won the special election for Texas’s 34th Congressional District on Tuesday despite the district previously being under Democrat control for decades. Flores became the first Mexican-born American to be elected to the U.S. Congress.

April Fool’s Day is terrible. Things you wish were real are fake. And things you wish were fake are real, like this Fortnite stonks meme skin.

Fortnite got a “Diamond Hanz” skin in the item shop today, as part of the “To the Moon” set. For 1200 Vbucks, you get a crash test dummy in a suit, modelled off the “stonks” meme, along with a wearable rising orange arrow. “To the moon” is a popular slogan on the WallStreetBets reddit, one of the sites behind the dramatic rise and fall and rise and fall of GameStop’s stock over the last few months.

The new skin was the first thing I saw when loading Fortnite this morning, taking over my screen with Diamond Hanz banging on a cowbell in front of some fictionalized stock results. What exactly Epic or Fortnite have to do with the capitalist mindgames that took the world by storm and made us all marvel at the collective madness of the internet is not a question a mere mortal like me can answer. But why wouldn’t the darkest timeline that produced GameStonk and is now producing the horror of NFTs produce this too?

You can buy the “To the Moon” set for the next nine or so hours in the item shop. May God have mercy on your souls.

According to the ‘Chopbox To Chopbox” actress, she is tired of being tagged as his baby mama after giving him, three adorable children.

In the interview zionfelix.net monitored, she said: ”I need an upgrade from baby mama to a wife. I have three kids with Funny and I deserve some respect. If he wants me to come back to him, he has to come and do the right thing by marrying me…”

Venessa also advised all the people who insulting the comic actor and herself over their recent issues to stop and allow them to heal the best way they can.
