Elon Musk just renewed his call to cut NPR’s funding after a 10-second clip from a 2021 TED Talk resurfaced on X.

It doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the National Public Radio.

In the video, NPR’s current CEO Katherine Maher questioned the role of “truth” in media.

Well, at least she’s being honest.

But Musk and critics say this doesn’t exactly line up with, you know, journalistic integrity.

Things are looking bleak for NPR, seeing as Elon Musk is about to head the DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency.

Once he’s in, I can already see him pulling the lever on the blade that cuts off their funding.

I can’t wait until Musk steps into power.

Elon Musk renews calls to defund NPR after clip of CEO resurfaces on X: ‘Your tax dollars’ are paying for this

Elon Musk renewed calls on Tuesday to defund NPR after a controversial video of its CEO questioning the importance of truth resurfaced online.

Footage of NPR CEO Katherine Maher from an August 2021 Ted Talk reappeared on X Tuesday, sparking new debate over the taxpayer funded broadcaster’s alleged bias, which has come under scrutiny in recent months.

In the 10-second clip, Maher questioned the role truth plays in the industry as the then-CEO of Wikimedia. She took over as CEO of NPR in March 2024.

“I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done,” Maher told the crowd.

Here’s the clip:

Here’s Elon’s take on it:

She’s toast now.

Elon is basically about to have the power to cut off funding to any govt agency he’s sees fit.

And NPR just got a rude awakening with his 28M viewed tweet.

That just realized their head was strapped to the guillotine.

So long, commies!

Panic surely must be spreading among the liberals in this land to levels they’ve never experienced.

In the words of RFK Jr, “Pack your bags.”
