MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle called Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, a “bully” over comments Musk made about MSNBC and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

“It baffles me that a man literally on top of the world would ever waste time punching down,” Ruhle said about Musk’s criticism of MSNBC and Hunter Biden.

“He may have more money than anyone on this earth, but he doesn’t have more time than you or me or anyone,” she continued. “So why waste his? Why not spend the earned influence and capital he has to lift people up, rather than behave like a bully?”

“He’s an unconventional guy and there are a tons of good reasons to break tradition and change the game. But I see absolutely no reason to give up on common decency,” she added.

Initially, Musk shared a meme about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his affinity to record himself engaging in illicit activities. “A+ for cinematography,” Musk joked.

This joke didn’t sit well with MSNBC’s Ruhle. Deciding to be the “fun police,” Ruhle argued that Musk should do better things with his massive social media following.

“Imagine the positive impact you could have on the world if you used the extraordinary amount of influence and power you have to spread decency, kindness and positivity?” Ruhle said.

Musk shot back with five simple words: “Image if MSNBC did that”

Ruhle responded, “No need to imagine – come on over any night of the week big guy 11PM EST @11thHour on @MSNBC. We’ve got one goal – to get better & smarter. I invite you to join & help us do just that. How about tonight?”
