If endorsing antisemitic posts wasn’t enough, Elon Musk has now advanced several rungs in the batshit conspiracy ladder into engaging with a post pushing Pizzagate.
Last week, Musk wrote “You have said the actual truth” in response to a post from an X user claiming Jewish people were responsible for promoting “dialectical hatred against whites.” The X owner promoting the antisemitic conspiracy theory drew widespread backlash, including from the White House.
The following morning, Media Matters, a nonprofit progressive media watchdog, published a study showing that X had been placing ads for major companies alongside posts featuring neo-Nazi and antisemitic rhetoric. Advertisers like Apple, Disney, IBM, Sony, Paramount, and Warner Brothers Discovery have since pulled their ads from the platform…
Musk responded over the weekend by threatening a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters, and calling the nonprofit “evil.” As of Monday afternoon, no such lawsuit has been filed, although Musk is still posting about it, writing again on X that “Media Matters is Evil.” A user responding to Musk wrote that David Brock, the founder of the nonprofit, “was the Boyfriend of James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong Pizza, yes the Pizzagate restaurant. Alefantis, a pizza shop owner at that time, was on GQ’s 50 Most Powerful People in DC list.”
“Weird,” Musk replied.
Pizzagate is a weird one, I think it’s Podesta who owns all the weird child abuse styled art.
The owner was on a news station months prior talking about how they stored all the ingredients in the basement.
Then, after Pizza gate, the same owner says they don’t have a basement.
Then there’s all the odd musical acts that performed there.
Then a washed out actor shows up with a gun.
There’s definitely something odd going on here, but it could just be another Q conspiracy and the owner lied because he was afraid of people showing up with guns. The whole thing is bizarre, but it’s almost a decade since this happened.
If there was any truth to the conspiracy, it’s unlikely there’s any evidence left. But I suppose no evidence can be misconstrued as proof for the conspiracy.
