Elon Musk Goes All In On Jan. 6 Denial

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday joined the right-wing chorus denying that a violent riot took place at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Fox News aired cherry-picked footage of the incident provided by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Replying to the communications director of a Freedom Caucus-aligned organization who alleged that members of the House committee investigating the riot had lied, Elon took to his social media platform to write: “Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed. After right-wing conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich wrote that “the Big Lie of the January 6th” had been “exposed,” Musk replied, “Shocking indeed.” And in response to a Twitter user who accused the BBC of not covering “the Jan 6 new evidence,” Musk tweeted at one of the broadcaster’s accounts, writing: “What say you, @BBCWorld? Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger excoriated Carlson’s segment in an internal memo obtained by CNN on Tuesday, saying that the host’s presentation was “offensive” and “misleading” and that it didn’t “provide accurate context.” “The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video.
