September 19, 2024 Social Media, Trump cultists

The Daily Beast reports:

The Tesla boss on Wednesday reshared a post alleging that ABC News had “falsely claimed the Springfield City Manager refuted Trump’s debate statement” about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio. The person speaking in the post’s video, however, was not the city manager.

Several hours later, Musk also shared a map projecting a sweeping electoral college victory for Trump in the November elections. “Trending well,” Musk wrote in his quote-tweet of the map.

The post’s creator attributed the map to Nate Silver, who now publishes on his Substack blog Silver Bulletin. But the map wasn’t real.

The posts cited above came after Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene yesterday shared false claims of a bomb being found at Trump’s New York rally.

As I mentioned here recently, the “Leading Report” account seen below is one of X’s most notorious fake news spreaders. It’s run by some rando who owns a car wash.
