Has LAPD commented on these accusations? Has a complaint been filed? Usually I’m a believer in people that claim to be victims of violence but in the case of Elon, I’m gonna wait until I hear from the appropriate authorities before I believe this story.

Most (all?) of the journalists that got banned were sharing this statement when they got clipped

They geolocated the video and it wasn't even near an airport.

Likely a Jussie Smollett moment, and not even his first. He very likely SWATed a whistleblower:

His ex-wife says he lied about holding his baby in his hands as it died of SIDS and that it was her (i.e. that he used a modified story of his baby's death to hide that he didn't want Alex Jones back on because of legal liabilities and ad revenue, not because he cares).
