Description | Elon Musk on Tuesday briefly posted—and then deleted—a meme to his social media platform X referencing the widely discredited far-right “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, claiming the theory seems “a little suspicious,” just over a week after he came under fire for supporting a post deemed antisemitic.
Musk posted a meme on X Tuesday morning referencing Pizzagate, which falsely claims Bill and Hillary Clinton and other major Democrats operated a sex trafficking ring out of a pizza shop in Washington D.C., a widely debunked conspiracy theory that gained traction in far-right circles in the lead-up to the 2016 election, and resulted in a gunman storming a pizza shop in the city. |
