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."

I have no idea what he said and do not care - supporting the CCP is like killing yourself and your family.
An American can be gotten to, but not the CCP. You are just foolish supporting forces you seem to know nothing about.
Is there a difference with Brandon at the helm?

Yes - Biden can be eliminated one way or another, but the Chinese Communist Party no so much.
Pelosi is desperate to keep Trump from winning. I wonder what she fears personally. She can be this desperate to help others.
I would prefer the status quo.

another Chinese Communist Party supported heard from.
Well, according to a recent branDUHn ad, PDJT is looking to the past while branDUHn has our future in his sights. 🤔
I don’t recall the collective pants wetting when Schumer used the term...
It’s a scare tactic by our government so they can control free speech. They don’t want Trump supporters posting on TikTok and X (formerly twitter). The Democrats controlled social media in 2020. Look at what happened. They’re trying to do that again so they can control the narrative.

If you had the slightest understanding of the CCP, you would know that the difference is like comparing a roadside drainage ditch to the Grand Canyon.
I love Elon Musk.
Two sides of the same coin
—
No. Most definitely not. We elected Brandon and can get rid of him, but wee did not elect the CCP and we cannot get rid of them in an election.
Wow
The New York Times
@nytimes
In a speech in Ohio on Saturday, Donald Trump doubled down on a doomsday vision of the United States, saying if he isn’t elected “it’s going to be a blood bath” and calling some migrants “not people” and “animals.”

Scare tactic? Are you insane? The algorithm is owned and controlled by the CCP and most likely by the PLA.
Trolled again by DJT.
I appreciate Musk’s efforts to control damage with low information voters (and there are a LOT of them), but is it too much to ask to not have what amount to regular unforced political “errors” from our candidate? He must know these will be used to some effect against him (and all his supporters). Is he unable to help himself or is it his style and does not care about the fallout?
First they came for TikTok. Then they came for Twitter. Then they came for FR and there was no one left to speak out for me.
If each person commits to taking out three, we win.
I am not at all certain that such trolling, as it is, helps anything and may hurt considerably. I there a net positive from it? if not, is it necessary?
DJT has been trolling the media and Dems for years - you just noticed?
OK you win ... the dumbest post of the thread.
I would like to use bloodbath to reform this crime syndicate government that is destroying us all
