Elon Musk defends Trump and slams establishment media for taking ['bloodbath'] quote out of context
Just the News ^ | 3/17/24 | Madeline Hubbard

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."

Before Musk, Twitter would have been at the head of pack spreading this slander. X could be the difference maker in 2024.

Don’t forget TikTok. A lot of MAGA content over there. Which is why our government is so desperate to try to control it.

Actual Trump quotation in which the “bloodbath” he refers to will happen to the domestic car industry from foreign competitors under more Bidenomics.

“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.”

Part of the agenda my Tagline refers to with every post.

Jan 6 was not a “bloodbath” by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading.

Correct, the fact that Musk is watching {even clips of} a Trump rally on a Saturday is amazing.

I DVR the rallies and watch clips but I've been watching him for 8-9 years so there is little new content, but his stamina is amazing.

I know that slow joes handlers don't want debates because the results would be too painful for even the media to try and spin, but if they ever happen:):):)

Is there a difference with Brandon at the helm?

You mean "Would you prefer the BIDEN REGIME control or the present CCP control?

I would prefer the status quo. The Biden regime controls enough as it is.

Zuckerberg thanks you for saying that.

You know that Trump is against the TikTok ban?

The Deep State wants to consolidate social media platforms all under Meta (controlled by Zuckerberg).

They're not 'outlets'. They are tribes pushing one sided narratives.
