Keith Olbermann Has Unhinged Hissy Fit Over Elon Musk’s ‘Pizzagate’ Post
Radical leftist commentator Keith Olbermann seems to be having some type of emotional breakdown live on X, as he has reportedly left the social networking site only to return a matter of hours later vehemently criticizing the site’s owner, entrepreneur Elon Musk.
Olbermann seemed to depart from commonly accepted reality, when Musk, likely in what some would call a ‘sh*tpost’ shared a meme regarding the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
The host of The Countdown Podcast and former MSNBC personality, Olbermann was disgraced and suspended after donations to several Democrat political campaigns in 2011 were uncovered leading to his resignation from the network.
A screenshot of the now-deleted post from Musk was shared by Citizen Free Press.

The post reportedly led Olbermann, whose opposition to Musk’s acquisition of Twitter was already well known, to revamp his profile with images reading “F*ck Elon Musk,” adding the bio “I’m done with the Antisemitic Pizzagate site. The podcast posts just after midnight easter, Monday-Thursday nights. F*ck Elon Musk”
He pinned a post that read, “After Musk’s endorsement of the QAnon Pizzagate conspiracy theory, I won’t be posting here any more. There are a couple of prescheduled promos for the Podcast, the last runs ~10PM I’m on the other socials under my name or some variation of Countdown With KO/Keith Olbermann.”

Citizen Free Press later reported that Olbermann was back on X a day after claiming he was done posting there suggesting, “Dude is addicted.”
In subsequent posts on Wednesday, Olbermann appeared to engage with Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a favored target of his rhetoric after she posted regarding his alleged departure saying, “Keith Olbermann, who used this platform to falsely claim my own mother was marching in the Capitol on January 6th, is leaving X because he feels Elon Musk is a conspiracy theorist. Hard to think of a man who has spewed more false and useless drivel on here than Keith. We won’t miss you!”
Also, I'm sorry you can't read but I never said I was leaving Twitter. I wrote I was no longer posting new material here except for dogs in need.
I never said anything about replies. Especially not to half-witted congresswomen who can't…handle themselves in public.

He responded in part saying, “I’m sorry you can’t read but I never said I was leaving Twitter. I wrote I was no longer posting new material here except for dogs in need. I never said anything about replies. Especially not to half-witted congresswomen who can’t…handle themselves in public.”
He later added, “Hey,@laurenboebert, somebody sent me your tweet and when I got back on here I found out@elonmusk deleted his endorsement of Pizzagate as I wanted So I’m back! Thanks for giving this story such a happy ending!”
As of this report, Musk hasn’t commented on the matter.
