This guy can’t pick a lane.
Elon Musk: please ignore my dismal record: Twitter will not be a free-for-all hellscape!
Also Elon: Troll time! Let’s launder a right-wing conspiracy theory in order to downplay the role of right-wing conspiracy theories in an assassination attempt on the House Speaker. pic.twitter.com/UBiksJrOii— Don Moynihan (@donmoyn) October 30, 2022
Musk today is tweeting out a story from the “Santa Monica Observer” … the same outlet that reported Hillary Clinton had died and been replaced by a body double for a debate with Trump. https://t.co/0PdnluoJrU https://t.co/j4x6riGDw1 pic.twitter.com/Nlr6t76SJF

Maybe Elon Musk shouldn’t get his news from the Santa Monica Observer, “notorious for publishing false news,” including “that Hillary Clinton had died and that a body double had been sent to debate Donald Trump.” https://t.co/xTvzD2ZJw6

According to @NBCNews’ @anblanx: Police say on the record that Paul Pelosi and his suspected attacker did not know each other prior to the attack. It was a break-in.
This directly contradicts conspiracy theories pushed by (and since deleted by) Twitter owner Elon Musk.

The new plan.
NEW: Twitter is planning to start charging $20 a month for verification. It’s Elon Musk’s first big project.

The smoke is getting awfully thick.
The January 6 committee has obtained eight emails from late 2020 that a judge determined show Trump and his lawyers planning to defraud courts and obstruct the congressional vote on the presidency. https://t.co/R1KWCaNsoR

IRL vigilantes.
EXCL: Conspiracy theorists, who claim UK terror attacks are staged, are tracking down survivors to homes and workplaces to see if they’re lying about injuries. And abuse is getting worse post-pandemic. I’ve investigated for BBC Panorama & Radio 4 podcasts. https://t.co/eErwk54r9p
