Fox News host Greg Gutfeld hailed billionaire Elon Musk as “the last man standing” in defense of free speech as the combined might of the corrupt establishment moves to destroy the X platform by suffocating its revenue stream and nuked his own employer too. On Friday’s edition of “Gutfeld!” the discussion turned to the Tesla/SpaceX CEO’s refusal to grovel during a Q&A at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit over the major corporations that have yanked their ads from the platform formerly known as Twitter, describing such tactics as blackmail and sending them a message of “go f**k yourself.” that sucked the air out of the room.

Trump told the likes of Apple, Disney, IBM, Walmart and other free-speech hating “woke” corporations exactly what they can do. “How insane is it that companies are trying to blackmail the world’s richest man with money?” Gutfeld asked. “That’s like extorting Jerry Nadler with salad,” a jab at the morbidly obese New York Democrat. “The fact is, Musk may be the last man standing between real freedom of speech and the suffocating block of the censorship industrial complex, which is made up of government, media, and tech forces,” he continued. “He realizes that advertisers have no spine and can be easily cowed by special interest groups in cahoots

The intrepid reporter appeared on Friday’s edition of “America’s Newsroom” on the day after he provided testimony before the House Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee, further elaborating on the Orwellian manipulation of the digital public square by the feds and their Big Tech partners. Perhaps most chilling was his revelation of the use of military-grade psychological operations conducted against Americans, leading to Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer questioning him about what he meant when he told lawmakers that it was worse than he originally thought.

We also saw people from the FBI working with social media companies to censor Americans,” he continued. “But what we discovered was basically a handbook that they had created to use psychological operations and disinformation tactics against the American people.” “These are tactics that have been developed abroad by the U.S. military and U.S. allies.
