Elon Musk has publicly defended former President Donald Trump against what he calls a deceptive NBC headline, which suggested Trump predicted a 'bloodbath' if he lost the election. Musk clarified that Trump was referring to the auto industry. This defense sparked a series of events including MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who was criticized by Musk, deleting his tweet about Trump's comments. Media outlets such as POLITICO, The Daily Caller, GBNEWS, gatewaypundit, RedState, and newscomauHQ have covered Musk's defense and the ensuing backlash. Musk criticized the media's portrayal of Trump's comments and advocated for the use of X (formerly Twitter) to avoid misinformation by legacy media, as reported by thehill.
