Musk Spreads Wild Claim About Attack On Paul Pelosi

The Independent reports:

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

The Twitter and Tesla boss gave no explanation for his comments, simply sharing a link to an article which claimed – without any evidence – that Mr Pelosi was drunk and met his alleged attacker in a gay bar.

It is one of several far-right conspiracies that began circulating online almost immediately after the attack on the House Speaker’s husband – all the while the 82-year-old was in hospital undergoing surgery for a fractured skull.
