The Atlantic’s insufferable staff writer David Frum appears to have been triggered that the world’s richest man insulted him on Twitter.

The Post Millennial released a report on Frum’s political hypocrisy. Frum went after Tesla CEO Elon Musk for being allegedly uncouth in posting a satirical meme. The meme compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler following the former’s forceful crackdown on truckers protesting Canada’s draconian COVID-19 policies. The Post Millennial pointed out that Frum is the last person who should complain about Musk’s meme. In November 2020, Frum compared the Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C., to a picture of a Nazi rally. Musk decimated Frum for his sanctimony in a response to The Post Millennial report on Twitter: “Hypocritical megadouche!” Frum didn’t take kindly to Musk’s swipe and whined that Musk was trolling him: “Isn't it kind of worrying that a major corporate figure would be gullible enough to rely on a tweet from the @TPostMillennial as an information source?”

Frum must not have realized that The Post Millennial had embedded his own tweet comparing pro-Trump events to Nazi rallies in its report.

I like Musk more and more every day. I would like to have a beer with him.

Megadouche much?

QED.

I prefer the term Super-douche

David who? Never heard of him 🤪

[FreedomPoster]

Modern Renaissance man and polymath Jerry Pournelle (RIP) used to refer to him as “the egregious Frum” (probably with a hat tip to Lewis Carroll), and this 15 or more years ago. And Frum hasn’t improved with age.

He’s a douche .. a superdouche, he’s superdouchieee...

LOL no idea how that song got in my head.

Isn't it kind of worrying that anyone would be gullible enough to rely on anything from Frum (pun intended) or The Atlantic as an information source?

Douche-canoe.

He’s becoming bold. Maybe too bold. I’m worried that its only a matter of time before they will gang up to cancel him like they’ve ganged up on every other celebrity who’s poked the system too hard. Will he cave and submit and sink into obscurity? Almost every celebrity they’ve targeted with a few rare exceptions has.

[Seruzawa]

Poor baby, Frum. There there.

[dfwgator]

That girl needs a hug.

[gibsonguy]

Didn’t you notice the recent recalls Tesla had to issue?

[hinckley buzzard]

Frum is a Canadian liberal. No surprise he wants to support tyrannical government control.
