Elon Musk Asks If Taxpayer Dollars Should Go to NPR's CEO, Who Calls the Truth a 'Distraction'

It was back in April when Elon Musk called NPR CEO Katherine Maher "one of the worst human beings in America." This was after the video of her TED Talk started making the rounds, in which the former Wikipedia head said that "our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done." 

Censor bad information … like when NPR released a statement saying it would not be covering the Hunter Biden laptop story because it was a "distraction" and they didn't want to waste listeners' time with distractions.

That video was making the rounds on X this week, and it seems as though Jonathan Turley caught it:

… that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.”

Here's the video:

Just what "important things" are being impeded by the truth? 

Another video that was going around yesterday showed Maher saying that the initial idea of Wikipedia being a "free and open" platform had turned into making it a "white male Westernized construct."

Christopher Rufo revealed that Maher also said that "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it.

Unreal.

Here's the head of DOGE:

As soon as the Department of Government Efficiency gets up and running, that's the first thing it should cut.

Maher was made NPR CEO in March, gave her TED Talk about the truth getting in the way in April, and remains CEO of National Public Radio. I don't see how that's acceptable.

I find it amusing that NPR (and PBS) always claim that only a small fraction of their funding comes from taxpayers, and yet that funding is critical to keeping them on the air. Mitt Romney of all people was accused of wanting to "kill Big Bird" during his presidential campaign, and I remember doing posts about clowns dressed up in frightening homemade Big Bird costumes holding their protest signs. And that became a major campaign issue.

Let's hope that the Department of Government Efficiency takes a close look at Maher's salary.
