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. 

In today's NY Times: Elon Musk, in a Tweet, Shares Link From Site Known to Publish False News. 

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."
