aubiefifty 16,807 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Elon Musk bizarrely responds to Hillary Clinton after she links 'hate and deranged conspiracy theories' from GOP to Paul Pelosi's attack: 'There might be more to this story than meets the eye' Katie Balevic Sun, October 30, 2022 at 9:05 AM Elon Musk on May 02, 2022, in New York City.Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Elon Musk tweeted a link to a site with conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi's assault. In a reply to Hillary Clinton, Musk said there "might be more to this story than meets the eye." Police have yet to release a motive for the assault, which left Pelosi hospitalized with a skull fracture. Elon Musk, fresh off his acquisition of Twitter, said there might be "more to the story" on Paul Pelosi's assault, which left House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a skull fracture and serious injuries. In a tweeted reply to Hillary Clinton, Musk shared a link to a site with conspiracy theories about the attack. Clinton condemned the assault, accusing the "Republican Party and its mouthpieces" of regularly spreading "hate and deranged conspiracy theories." "It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow," Clinton tweeted with a link to a Los Angeles Times report about how the suspect in the assault previously spread right-wing QAnon conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and bigotry. "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye," Musk replied, linking to a site with the headline, "The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Early Friday Morning." The site appeared to be inaccessible shortly after Musk shared a link. Authorities have not yet released a motive for the attack on Paul Pelosi, though the suspect was reportedly shouting "Where is Nancy?" when he broke into the house around 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning, Business Insider previously reported. Speaker Pelosi was not home at the time. In a statement released Saturday, Pelosi said "a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul." "Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop," she said in the statement. Police identified the suspect as 42-year-old David DePape. Following the assault, Paul Pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and is expected to make a full recovery. While several mainstream conservatives have condemned the assault, some right-wing pundits have cast doubt and shared conspiracy theories about the attack. On Fox News, host Jesse Watters criticized the police response to Paul Pelosi's assault, suggesting that the response was stronger because of Pelosi's status as the spouse of the House Speaker, Business Insider previously reported. Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger called out fellow Republicans for promoting the same election conspiracy theories that the suspect in the assault had shared.

homersapien 11,388 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) The problem of social media being incentivized by our system to create as much traffic as possible - regardless of consequences - is a fatal weakness in our society. This simply promotes - and amplifies - lies, conspiracies, wacko "science" and hate. (That's what the "algorithms" do.) Simply because that's what draws the most clicks, which generates the most income. They need to be regulated.
