The Washington Post wages war on Elon Musk as he takes over Twitter

The Washington Post has launched a full-scale war on Elon Musk as his takeover of Twitter has sparked a complete media meltdown. 

On Wednesday, the paper whose slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness" published a pair of reports ratcheting up its attacks on the Tesla CEO, whose $44 billion offer to buy Twitter has been approved this week despite the heavy resistance he previously faced. 

One report lamented how Democrats can do very little to combat Musk, a staunch advocate for free speech, writing how President Biden's "tech agenda gets a reality check" and how "Washington’s hands are largely tied as the world’s richest person acquires an influential social network, an impact of the regulatory void around social media companies."
