Elon Musk relays a conspiratorial article on Twitter, and confirms certain fears

The new Twitter boss shared a conspiratorial article in response to a message from Hillary Clinton. In an increasingly polarized country, Elon Musk raises fears of the worst two years before the presidential election.

Is the new "chief Twit" already crossing the line? Sunday October 30, only two days after the formalization of the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk , the latter shared on his platform a conspiratorial article on the attack on the husband of Nancy Pelosi . This while its recent acquisition of the platform raises fears of a resurgence of misinformation or problems related to the moderation of content.

To understand the origin of this tweet, you have to go back 48 hours. On the night of Thursday to Friday, Paul Pelosi, the husband of the leader of the American Democrats in Congress, was attacked at their home in San Francisco by a man armed with a hammer. After breaking into the home, the assailant searched for Nancy Pelosi but only found her husband, whom he beat with a hammer. Paul Pelosi, 82, has been operated on for fractures to his skull, arms and legs, but his life is not in danger.

This violent attack moved all politicians, right and left. President Joe Biden has denounced the political violence in the country and made a barely masked reference to Donald Trump, who has been claiming for two years that the 2020 election was "stolen" . A theory that has many followers among Republicans, some of whom are running in the mid-term elections on November 8.

Musk advertises conspiracy website

Hillary Clinton , former Secretary of State, also reacted on Twitter and denounced the "hateful and delusional conspiracy theories" relayed by "the Republican Party and its spokespersons" , which cause real drama. An article from the Los Angeles Times detailing the journey of assailant David Depape, follower of conspiracy theories, accompanied the words of the former First Lady.

"There is a small possibility that appearances are deceiving," however, replied Elon Musk, who completed his commentary with an article referring to the Santa Monica Observer site . The title of the paper presented an alternative version of the facts: “The terrible truth: Paul Pelosi was still drunk, and had an argument with a prostitute Friday morning. »

The billionaire unleashed an avalanche of criticism after this tweet. The Santa Monica Observer is indeed known for relaying sometimes eccentric conspiracy theories. In 2016, the site for example claimed that Hillary Clinton was dead and that a double was campaigning in her place against Donald Trump in 2016.

With three days of "decisive" elections in the United States, President Joe Biden and his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama urged on Saturday to "vote" to protect "democracy", their opponent Donald Trump wanting a "giant wave" Republican for "saving the american dream".
