Richard Hanania seems to have turned against Elongated Muskrat, especially after Elon unfollowed him over his reply to JD Vance. Hanania is now claiming that Elon wants to turn every rightoid into Catturd 
I thought censorship was the worst thing you can do to the public square.

Musk has shown there is something worse. He doesn't want you to read less biased sources of news or info, he wants to make you into Catturd. On Musk's war on the human intellect. https://t.co/asfHWh9wGw
The censorship debate has always been about which news, analysis, or sources of info you should trust. Liberals say this person is credible, this is an expert, this is a conspiracy theorist, and so forth. It's annoying and they often get things wrong, but there's some pretense of… pic.twitter.com/frj9PO9mlK

"That he can be as smart as he is – assuming something of the mind that founded SpaceX and Tesla still exists – and bask in the approval of the dumbest people...feels like treason against everyone who believes that honest and rational thought has value." https://t.co/asfHWh9wGw

None of Elon's tweets indicate that he reads anything on government. No books, policy papers,etc. I've asked people who work with him if it's any different in private, they admit he doesn't read except for Catturd.

No way he approached rockets like this. https://t.co/asfHWh9wGw
In response to my article on what happened to Elon Musk, someone pointed me to this 2021 conversation about technology in warfare. Small sample below. Musk comes across as sharp and informed. He not only knows about engineering, but must’ve read a bit of history.

and this is within the past 24 hours. Here is even more bashing as Hanania realizes that Muskrat has become the subtard he swore to destroy:
Elon Musk apparently believes that Biden just committed chicken genocide for no reason. He lacks the curiosity to ask why this might’ve happened. He has access to all the information in the world and he outsourced his brain to the dumbest people in public life. It’s disgusting. https://t.co/UfUuqB3CiP

Vivek was the non-r-slurred Elon. Head of DOGE is one job that would’ve been done much better by an Indian. pic.twitter.com/CQSWFJFexX

Ezra Klein on Elon Musk as a person compared to USAID workers.

I know people who work in aid, like you do. Musk is a billionaire who jets around the world fathering children with Lord knows how many women. And sending missives on X 300 times a day. And these people who went to… pic.twitter.com/M8ChMzsvwW
Is Elon Musk as misinformed about public policy as he looks? If he weren't, it would accidentally slip once in a while that he's been influenced by a thoughtful book or article. But there's little indication he gets his info from anything but memes. https://t.co/OJ7HdodDuY pic.twitter.com/JHuzHEGbfs

Many of us were excited when Elon Musk bought X. Yet seeing his decline has been horrifying.

But if one billionaire disappoints, maybe another can save us.
I wrote some thoughts on whether Bezos' new policy at the Post can bring elites to free markets. https://t.co/OJ7HdodDuY
Looks like Elon unfollowed. Honestly surprised it took so long. When he followed Catturd I knew it was over.

There’s a difference between Russia knowing it and the message they take from American leaders announcing and emphasizing a fact.

Hanania is such an oddball. On the one hand, he's clearly insecure and perceives "Catturd" as having more influence in the chuddosphere than him. This is despite Hanania having the potential to have the same amount of influence in the Trump Administration as Chris Rufo, while Catturd will never amount to being anything more than the chuddosphere equivalent of BrooklynDadDefiant. Seething about social media tape recorders is pure bitchmode.
On the other hand, he's usually correct when he critiques the broader chud movement, so it's probably just his
getting in the way of him implementing policies he wants.
