Tesla CEO Elon Musk is defending former President Donald Trump on Sunday after multiple establishment media outlets ran headlines stating that the former president warned the U.S. would see a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected.
Although Trump did use the word "bloodbath" during a speech in Ohio on Saturday, outlets such as NPR, Politico, The Hill, NBC News, The New York Times and others used the term in headlines without context. Musk said the headlines were "legacy media lies" and he made multiple posts Sunday criticizing their use of the term and stressing the need for context.
Musk responded to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough's post on X, formerly Twitter, of video clips from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and the caption: "Donald Trump’s America. And he is proud of it. Promised another 'bloodbath' if he loses again."

Thanks for the link. Puts it in context. Those propagandists are EVIL. Nancy Pelosi -D evil
Well, at this point, I'd prefer "CCP control." Eff off, you Deep State goon.
You can type “y” in search and you will get YouTube.
Or “f” and get facebook
On the other hand..you have to spell out Free Republic in full.
The blood bath will come after Trump is reelected. The left will mobilize Antifa, BLM and Islamic terrorists to foment chaos. Trump and MAGA will not have one moment of peace. Buckle up.
So what was the context?
The “legacy” media worldwide are literally the scum of the earth.
LOL, you find that surprising? Consider the number of hourly hits to those three sites. YouTube and Facebook -- billions. FreeRepublic -- maybe a couple thousand?
Million to one ratio.
Trump was talking about a “bloodbath in the auto industry” if he’s not elected because of Biden auto regulations. The liars conveniently delete “in the auto industry”. Musk posted the entire speech on X.
The auto industry, if no tariffs are imposed. See comment #3 above.
That Musk boy is coming around.
All of the paid misinformation democrat maggots are posting like crazy on Twitter, some even saying it will be blood bath for illegals. These people have no shame at all by posting all these lies.
He bought it to destroy it, so it could not be used for that purpose. At least that is how he holds it in his head. Eventually he conceives a relaunch to a WeChat-style do-everything app. Don't hold your breath.
You'd have to read the article to get at the context Musk referred to.
Here's it is:
When Trump used the word "bloodbath," he was discussing China's reported plans to build cars in Mexico and sell them cheaply in the United States."We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if – I get elected," Trump said at the Ohio rally Saturday. "Now if I don't get elected it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars."
To date, I stand by my statement. The thread you are on proves my point.
The 60% foreign investors. That’s who. And trusting the US government with it would be insane. We just spent the last year laying the massive detail of their collusion and censorship operation with Facebook and Twitter.
I prefer TikTok as it is. Massive amounts of MAGA on it. It’s much better than even Elons Twitter.
You do not trust the American government, but you trust the Chinese Communist Party?
Of course you prefer your CCP masters, how dare I suggest otherwise?
And of course the ever-popular “There were fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville. The lack of an even modestly even-handed media gives free rein to the rats’ impulse to lie. I heard Biden peddling the Charlottesville lie again just recently
Agree. My own government under the current regime is a much greater threat to me than the Chinese Communist Party.
Well, at this point, I’d prefer “CCP control.” Eff off, you Deep State goon.

So another on who prefers the Chinese Communist Party over the American government. Go live in China for a few years.
and thanks for the personal insult, suits anyone who supports the CCP.
