Lol no, the "news report" Musk linked explicitly accused Paul Pelosi's attacker of being a spurned lover. Even the report you linked was apparently retracted because of some weird minor details about how the encounter with police went down, not the overall premise which is that the Pelosi house was broken into by a stranger looking for Nancy.

Attempts to paint it otherwise are either just covering for Musk for some reason (which I don't know why you would feel the need to do that) or trying to rewrite the narrative on what the right-wing conspiracy theory here is that Musk peddled in the first place.



I'll admit I had vague memory of Musk's tweet and thought he was merely questioning the overall narrative (which was quite messy honestly) with a text reply, but apparently he linked to an article with baseless claims like you mentioned.

I was willing to give Musk the benefit of the doubt about this initially, but that was clearly misjudged on his end.

I stand corrected.
