Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted an anti-LGBT conspiracy theory on Sunday about the attack on US house speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband. Responding to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who tweeted to draw a line between Republicans who promote baseless conspiracy theories and the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, Elon Musk tweeted, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye.”
He attached a link to the story, which is no longer accessible, by the conservative Santa Monica Observer.
The outlet has published conspiracy theories in the past, including that a body double for Hilary Clinton was sent to a debate with Donald Trump during the 2016 election campaign.
Elon Musk’s tweet rose concerns about Twitter’s future as the billionaire vowed that the platform would not become a “free-for-all hellscape.”
On Friday, an intruder broke into Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer, fracturing his skull.
The 82-year-old is recovering in hospital.
