Elon Musk has become the liberal media's second-most-hated man, behind only Orange Man Bad. Witness today's opening of Morning Joe, wherein Mika Brzezinski proclaimed "Thursday was a very rough day for Elon Musk," gloated over Musk's SpaceX Starship exploding shortly after liftoff yesterday.
To our knowledge, after countless hours of suffering through Morning Joe, Mika has never been equally enthused about a North Korean rocket going kaput! Then again, Kim Jong-un is merely a nuclear-armed dictator and enemy of America. Whereas Musk occasionally makes life a bit uncomfortable for liberals!
Brzezinski also exulted over Musk's Twitter travails, with his plan to eliminate free blue checks running into opposition, and Tesla's share price having dropped. We can report the Twitter accounts of @Morning_Joe, @JoeNBC, and @MorningMika now reflect they haven't paid for their Twitter Blue check.
MIKA: he planned to make people pay for Twitter verification. His plan to do that blew up on the social media site. And on top of all of that --
SCARBOROUGH: That, that, that was not good.
MIKA: No, Twitter is messed up now.
SCARBOROUGH: It's kind of a mess. It's a shame.
MIKA: And on top of all of that, Tesla's value dropped by around $50 billion, as its stock price fell by 10%. We're going to have much more on those stories straight ahead.
Scarborough offered some facetious pushback about the rocket failure, but Mika concluded triumphantly, "all we're saying is, it was a rough day" for Musk.
Warning sent to any entrepreneur who dares to cross the liberal/ESG line: the MSM will revel in any misfortune that might befall you!
Mika Brzezinski gloating of the explosion of Elon Musk's rocket, and his travails with Twitter and Tesla, was sponsored in part by Abbvie, maker of Rinvoq, Allstate, and Centrum.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Yes. And Thursday was a very rough day for Elon Musk.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, I don't know about that
MIKA: First, his $3 billion rocket exploded.
SCARBOROUGH: I, I, I, I, I'm going to question that framing! They get a lot of great data outof that.
MIKA: It exploded.
SCARBOROUGH: No, but it was a planned explosion. It was --
MIKA: No-o-o-o.
SCARBOROUGH: They got what they wanted. They got massive data. It was a step forward.
MIKA: It was an unscheduled disassembly, as they call it.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, I have had many of those.
MIKA: Or, it exploded.
SCARBOROUGH: I've had many of those.
MIKA: Then he [laughs at Joe's line], he planned to make people pay for Twitter verification. His plan to do that blew up on the social media site. And on top of all of that --
SCARBOROUGH: That, that, that was not good.
MIKA: No, Twitter is messed up now.
SCARBOROUGH: It's kind of a mess. It's a shame.
MIKA: And on top of all of that, Tesla's value dropped by around $50 billion, as its stock price fell by 10%. We're going to have much more on those stories straight ahead.
SCARBOROUGH: Not to be a nag here, but --
MIKA: Well, kind of --
SCARBOROUGH: There are a million different market forces that are pushing and pulling. It's just, a lot more competition there. Which is great for America.
MIKA: All we're saying is, it was a rough day. Okay.
