Elon Musk called out an old Hillary Clinton tweet as a “hoax” Friday after a Twitter user flagged it for misleading disinformation and was ignored.
The tweet, written Oct. 31, 2016 during Clinton’s failed presidential campaign, is a statement issued in response to a news report about an alleged secret server at Trump Tower that was being used to covertly communicate with Russia.
“Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank,” Clinton wrote in the tweet alongside the statement issued by one of her then-top aides, Jake Sullivan.
A Twitter user tagged Musk in the message and wrote that they’ve reported it “as misleading disinformation” to the company but it was never taken down and does not have a warning label attached to it.
“I would be interested to know if, when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest,” the user wrote to Musk.
The Tesla CEO responded that they were “absolutely correct.”
“That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial,” Musk wrote, linking to a BBC story about the trial of Michael Sussman, Clinton’s 2016 campaign attorney.

“.@paraga and @vijaya, what say you?” Musk wrote, tagging Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO, and Vijaya Gadde, the company’s Legal, Policy and Trust Lead.
Sussman is accused of lying to the FBI when he met with an agent about former President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and prosecutors say he “manipulated” the agency in a misbegotten bid to snag the election.

Elon has turned into Alex Jones, they will say.
Now he’s becoming the best investigative journalist as well
Lock her up, it’s never too late!
Wow, he’s really risking the Jack Ma treatment now.
No one will say that.
I hope she’s kicked in the head by a horse.
October 2016 is back when Joe Biden was using the Tom Clancy-ish alias “Peter Henderson.”
I love that guy! He seems to be having a lot of fun lifting the rocks and watching the repulsive critters scamper away.
From another thread:
Once the Alfa Bank allegations were developed, Seago met with journalist Franklin Foer (who would write the October 31, 2016 Alfa Bank article in Slate). The purpose of that meeting was to discuss “the allegations of communication between the Trump Organization and Alfa-Bank.”

What the reader could easily fail to distinguish here is whether the tweet en toto is a hoax, or the message contained therein. Comprende? Hillary: “That tweet is a hoax. I never posted it. Someone hacked my Wiener.”
never forget that democrats tried to REMOVE TRUMP FROM OFFICE OVER THIS!!!
just WHO is subverting democracy!!!
“during Clinton’s FAILED PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN”
Truly beautiful words.
Hillary was onto that Slate article like white on rice, almost as if she knew ahead of time that Franklin Foer was writing it.
Peter Henderson, KGB spy.
PIAPS is having a bad day.
Won’t be seeing Hilzilla showing her face for a while now.
Jake Sullivan and attorney Marc Elias were exchanging emails on the Alfa Bank story as early as September 15, 2016...
