Elon Musk Sues Former Congressman Over 'Nazi' Claims

Musk's lawsuit underscores ongoing tensions with critics as he defends his reputation against incendiary accusations.

Elon Musk has initiated legal proceedings against former Democrat Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who labeled him a “Nazi” and a “thief” during a CNN interview. Fed up with the defamatory statements, Musk announced via X (formerly Twitter) on Friday his plans to file a lawsuit against Bowman for what he claims are baseless and inflammatory remarks.

“Enough is enough. Lawsuit inbound.” Musk declared in his post.

Bowman, notorious for previously pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol as a ploy to delay a vote, is now confronted with a lawsuit that Musk argues is for slander and character assassination. Musk firmly stated that he will not allow himself to be compared to history's worst figures or be falsely accused of criminal behavior on national television.

This incident marks another chapter in Musk's ongoing struggles with far-left figures who seek to undermine and attack him since he began championing free speech and exposing political corruption. In response to these attacks, Musk is now leveraging legal action as a means to protect his reputation.
