He apparently linked a conspiracy theory from Santa Monica Observer about how the hammer attack was not right-wing extremism, but Paul Pelosi was having a liaison with a male sex worker.

Santa Monica Observer appears to be classic fake news:

It is, but it was created for business (smobserver.com) around a California law that requires business owners to publish a statement in a newspaper of general circulation when registering or changing a fictitious business name, so they made a newspaper (smobserved.com) and charge $149.00 for publishing your statement.

The "newspaper" has an opinion section and this is the "article" Musk linked. The "article" suggests that the person assaulting Paul Pelosi is a radical gay male prostitute.

Of course he did.

The big news outlets are predictably starting to pick it up too. I wonder how many advertisers Twitter stands to lose from the ensuing shitstorm.

Shades of "pedophile"

I still find it hard to believe that this is the same person that gave us SpaceX and Tesla.

It is sad... one of the most admirable technologists on the planet is also a total jerk.

And for how long has he been in control of twitter?
