Billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk defended Comedian Russell Brand Friday after The Independent and The Telegraph launched a cancel culture campaign against the British comic.
Replying to the outlet, Musk tweeted,” With so many mainstream media companies saying Russell Brand is crazy/dangerous, I watched some of his videos. Ironically, he seemed more balanced & insightful than those condemning him!”

The groupthink among major media companies is more troubling. There should be more dissent.

Brand addressed and denied all the allegations in his most recent video, where he also reveals the wealthy foreign donors who have a political incentive to use the outlets are attack dogs for contrarians.
