Mr Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion on Thursday, wrote on the social media platform that there could be “more than meets the eye” to the attack, before linking to an article about a conspiracy theory that Mr Pelosi knew his attacker.
Following a backlash Mr Musk appeared to have deleted the tweet about five hours later.
You’re free to be wrong about things…..
It’s lucky Mr Musk has a thick skin because the media will be jumping on any perceived mis-step with the same desperation as the bbc reporting on Donald Trump.
This is at a time when you’d expect them to be 100% focused on preventing Republican successes in next weeks mid-terms.
However they just can’t help themselves.
Just a teensy question…
How did the bugger get inside the house to begin with?
I just can’t imagine that a random stranger can simply walk up to the front door of the domicile of arguably one of the most powerful politicians in the US, ring the bell, and be let in without even a raised eyebrow.
There’s a video of a neighbour of the “attacker” being interviewed. She said that he was weird but tended to left wing ideas such as LGBT and BLM. But watch the MSM say he was a right wing Trump extremist.
The gossip is that Paul Pelosi is gay. The attacker is part of a gay club. How did the attacker get past lots of security around the gated community. There are lots of little things that mean the story is not what the MSM will make out that it was.
John: the BBC is now wetting itself over Lula beating Bolsonaro in Brazil. Are we really that interested in Brazilian politics over here?
@SBML: initial reports said that the 911 call stated he was ‘a friend’. Nancy appeared to cover up that gaffe by stating her husband sent ‘a coded message’ in the call.
And if you believe that, I’ve a nice bridge to sell…
TG: they’re cheering Brazil’s joining WEFistan
There’s a photo of the patio doors, with the broken glass on the OUTSIDE.
Anyone who’se ever watched Scooby-Doo knows this means the glass was broken from the inside, and not from the outside, breaking in. 😀
Probably just a dispute between supplier and customer about the bill. And to see the Demoloons trying to portray ‘the intruder’ as a MAGA Trump supporter is hilarious. And they say the Yanks cannot do comedy!

I wonder if we will ever find out who was the witness/passenger in Mr Pelosi’s recent DUI collision to which pleaded guilty and served nearly 5 1/2 hours in jail. He’s having a rough few months, apart from his short-term stock investments.
JuliaM – he did use coded language.
“Chemsex manlove, please!” means “I am concerned at these extremist MAGA Republicans!”
“A young man I paid to do gay stuff to my octogenarian butthole” is code for “Help, this extremist MAGA Republican broke into my home and hid drugs in my pooper!”
The United States really needs to get a grip on these extremist MAGA Republicans and their one-piece leather sex costumes.
5 1/2 hours? Did he forget to kill the passenger, Kennedy-style? Would have probably not even been arrested then.
John: the BBC is now wetting itself over Lula beating Bolsonaro in Brazil.
But not by the 16% margin they were touting not so long ago. He just squeezed it 50.8%/49.2% And still no sign of Bolsonaro refusing to accept the result.

The run-off election took place on Sunday and Brazil managed to complete counting and announce the result on the following day.
A interesting contrast to another country where certain states took up to a week before the “correct” result was finally known.
After what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse and Nick Sandmann, among others, they can spare me the whole decency routine. Elon’s expressing doubt about a news story. They put targets on the backs of innocents.
This is the second time in six months that Paul Pelosi has been hammered at a crime scene.
…I’ll get my coat…
@Tim the Coder – “There’s a photo of the patio doors, with the broken glass on the OUTSIDE.”
So you think that Paul Pelosi, after having had his skull fractured, went to the patio door and broke the glass? And what was his attacker doing at this time – especially as the reports say that the police found them struggling when they arrived? It seems quite absurd. I have seen a video (presumably from a drone) which shows broken glass on both sides of the door, It is easily explained by noting that once you break a pane of glass with a hammer, you need to clear out enough shard to make it safe to use the hole so you may well use the hammer to knock out fragments in either direction.
@Charles
The emoticon and the reference to that doyen of forensic CSI that is Scooby-Doo weren’t a clue?
Sigh.
There seem to be people who actually believe it!
And the general principle of stuff on the Internet is that whatever you read, however crazy it seems, there’s always a chance that someone means it, while whatever you write, however crazy it is, there’s always someone who takes it seriously.
