Elon Musk is now boosting the ‘Pizzagate’ conspiracy theory
CNN ^

Posted on 11/21/2023 8:41:24 AM PST by MNDude

Elon Musk on Monday boosted the dangerous, years-old “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, just days after being roundly criticized and facing an advertiser exodus following his embrace of an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Elon Musk, Chief Executive Officer of SpaceX and Tesla and owner of Twitter, gestures as he attends the Viva Technology conference dedicated to innovation and startups at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre in Paris, France, June 16, 2023. Elon Musk’s X sues media watchdog Media Matters over report on pro-Nazi content on the social media site In a post Monday, an X user attempted to link the founder of Media Matters — the progressive media watchdog that last week identified ads for major brands running alongside pro-Nazi content on X — to the owner of the “Pizzagate restaurant.” Musk replied: “Weird.” By replying, Musk called the post to the attention of his more than 160 million followers on X.

Pizzagate is an anti-Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory that spun up on 4chan, Reddit, Twitter and other platforms in the final days before the 2016 US presidential election. Believers imagined a pedophilia ring supposedly being run out of a Washington, DC pizza shop that involved Clinton and other Democrats.

It’s just the latest conspiracy theory Musk has drawn attention to using X. Musk last week agreed with an antisemitic post on his social media platform X, endorsing the claim that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.” Musk last year also gave credence to a fringe conspiracy theory about the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by posting a link to an article full of baseless claims about Paul Pelosi.

How many CNN people visited Pervert Island?

How many CNN people like to have “pizza” for “dinner”?

Epstein didn’t kill himself.

How silly. Doesn’t he know that the Podesta crew just really enjoys cheese pizza and talk about it constantly? And when someone leaves behind a napkin with a mask that seems pizza related, an email thread pops up to discuss it. And their fave pizza place has a pedophile logo in its sign? And they collect creepy child bondage art.

Elon is just so unsophisticated! He probably don’t even appreciate the Podesta brothers statue of a Jeffery Dahmer murder victim.

They are a nest of pedophiles.

“dangerous, years-old “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory”

It is dangerous—if you are a pedophile.

Is it a conspiracy theory, or a theory about a conspiracy?

Fox News put a reporter on the story and evidently called him off since he was beginning to find confirmation.

This is pure diversion...Pizza gate was a weird conspiracy theory and scarcely provable conspiracy theory. This attempt to liken Musk’s current lawsuit against media matters is a blatant flailing arms attempt to discredit his suit. His suit against media matters is probably very provable, and would constitute very high level tortious interference. Very actionable if he can prove it and I suspect he can.

The establishment are in an all-out effort to destroy the X (formerly Twitter) platform.

Besides Truth Social, which is miniscule by comparison, X is the only platform that is encouraging free speech and not cancelling users for deviating from the Orwellian groupthink.

Pizzagate is an anti-Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory that spun up on 4chan, Reddit, Twitter and other platforms...


How does it compare with the anti-Trump Russia! conspiracy theory that spun up on the FBI, CIA and other government platforms?

The Podesta emails were real.

The “pizza” code in those emails were real.

This stuff is not conspiracy theory—it is conspiracy fact.
