Fake Mainstream Media Double Standard: Elon Musk Versus Mamdani
An innocent gesture by Musk triggered hysteria, while provocation by Mamdani passed with silence because the target was Trump, not truth.
The episode that engulfed Elon Musk over a simple hand movement did not emerge from public concern.
It was manufactured, amplified, and weaponised by a fake mainstream media ecosystem operating with a clear double standard.
Elon Musk raised his hand in a neutral, ordinary context.
There was no extremist slogan, no ideological symbolism, no historical reference.
Yet the media response was instant and coordinated: insinuations of extremism, moral condemnation, and a relentless effort to link Musk to hate.
The objective was transparent—to stain President Donald Trump by association, using Musk as a proxy.
Contrast this with the reaction, or lack of it, to Mamdani.
When Mamdani engaged in conduct that many observers interpreted as overt provocation, the same media voices that rushed to judgment against Musk suddenly lost their appetite for outrage.
Silence followed.
No campaigns.
No moral panic.
No urgent editorials.
This is not an accident.
It is a pattern.
The fake mainstream media does not police gestures.
It polices allegiance.
Musk’s real offense was not a raised hand.
It was his open support for President Trump and his refusal to align with a political class that has presided over economic strain, social fragmentation, and institutional decay.
Mamdani, by contrast, benefits from ideological protection.
What followed was propaganda by design.
Strip context.
Inflate symbolism.
Repeat accusation until it hardens into perceived truth.
This is not journalism.
It is narrative warfare.
The method is old, the intent unmistakable: delegitimise Trump by manufacturing moral scandal around anyone who stands with him.
The question that demands to be asked is no longer whether Musk intended anything sinister.
He did not.
The real question is who coordinates, funds, and benefits from an anti-American media machine that treats political dissent as moral criminality while shielding its own allies from scrutiny.
A media that applies standards selectively is not defending democracy.
It is manipulating it.
