Elon Musk, Twitter, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have all individually taken heat for the performance of the Twitter Spaces function during yesterday’s presidential campaign announcement. Radio host Dana Loesch believes the reaction has been overblown.
To begin her nationally-syndicated show Thursday, Loesch played a clip of her question to DeSantis — and subsequent praising of Musk — during the announcement. She noted that while she had been removed from the room several times, the only people who truly believe there was anything wrong with the rollout were people in the industry.
“I know that there was a lot of freaking out over it and people were upset saying this was a disaster. I think you have to live and breathe this stuff to think it was disastrous,” Loesch said.
“I think there are so many drama queens out there. This is one of the problems with having politics as entertainment because politics can get really stupid really fast, and stay stupid for a really long time. The glitches — cause I got kicked off like a million times — I think they had done some updates since the last time Elon Musk had done a Twitter Spaces with the BBC, and something was up with his account that was tripping something, and so they had to move it.
“I don’t think it was hubris to not test it. I don’t know where people are getting that they didn’t test it. Nobody in the press writing about it in the press has asked that question, either. They’re just running off an assumption that nothing was ever tested. I don’t care about that, either. I think it was a fun or new way to do something.”
