Lauren Boebert Celebrates Keith Olbermann Quitting Twitter Over Musk, Pizzagate: ‘We Won’t Miss You!’
'I'm done with the Antisemitic Pizzagate site,' Olbermann wrote on X, leading to celebrations from conservatives
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., was among a number of conservatives on social media celebrating this week over former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann dumping Elon Musk's X.
"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," Olbermann wrote on X on Tuesday.
His profile image reads "F—k Elon Musk," as does his bio.
"I'm done with the Antisemitic Pizzagate site," the liberal commentator wrote.
Olbermann often posts videos to X in which he covers politics, mainly criticizing Donald Trump and hitting the former president over his legal troubles. Olbermann has referred to the former president as a "terrorist," asshole, and plenty more.

Musk has come under fire recently over his public postings, including one in which he seemingly endorsed a message about "Jewish communities" targeting white people.
He's also faced pushback for posting about the widely-debunked "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, most recently sharing a meme that appears to have been deleted.
The 2016 conspiracy theory claimed a Washington D.C. pizza parlor was a coverup for a child sex trafficking ring.
"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," Boebert wrote on Wednesday on X. "Hard to think of a man who has spewed more false and useless drivel on here than Keith. We won't miss you!"
The congresswoman was far from the only conservative mocking Olbermann's protest declaration, some predicting he'd be back soon.
"Hey, [Lauren Boebert] somebody sent me your tweet and when I got back on here I found out [Elon Musk] deleted his endorsement of Pizzagate as I wanted," he wrote. "So I'm back! Thanks for giving this story such a happy ending!"
