Elon Musk is a crackpot

From Daily Kos:

Elon Musk shared a lurid, baseless conspiracy theory on Twitter about what transpired the night of the violent hammer attack on Paul Pelosi – just days after he took over the social media platform on the promise of stripping away content moderation.

On Saturday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hit out at members of the GOP for spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” after it emerged that Mr Pelosi’s alleged attacker had been spewing far-right conspiracies online in the lead-up to Friday’s assault.

“The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result,” she tweeted. “As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow”.... 

More nuttiness from Musk. 


Interesting to note that, unlike the online version, the hard copy of the Times has a more explicit hed on the same story: "In Tweet, Musk Amplifies Baseless Claims About Pelosi Attack."

He posted it as a joke only to take the post down later. But it’s understandable why the left is beginning to attack him these days. They seem pretty unhappy with the fact that Twitter censorship will be coming to an end.

Now you know that Twitter censorship is happening as your one of the lefties enjoying it. Because your M.O is to lie and deny facts knowing they are facts the link bellow provides the proof.

Who really gives a shit about Twitter? Not me. I've never used or even looked at it.
That link doesn't say anything about my alleged lies. Maybe you can provide some examples. Even one will do. Musk is just another asshole with too much money.

You weren’t calling him an asshole prior to purchasing Twitter. One would have to assume that you also believe Bernie, Pelosi, and Biden are rich assholes as well.

I don't care about Twitter, never used it and never will. Public figures sometimes make asses of themselves, apparently under the illusion that they have wisdom to share with us. Maybe Musk is a good businessman. Not clear he's worth listening to other than that.
