No, he said "more than meets the eye" because of contradicting news reports in the medias early on when the story broke, with many unknowns and incoherencies remaining today. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/miguel-almaguer-remains-absent-from-nbc-since-stunning-paul-pelosi-attack-report-was-mysteriously-retracted/ar-AA14EL0R https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/miguel-almaguer-remains...

Body cam footage even censored would do a lot to sort out the unknowns and incoherencies. Sadly, we'll never see that out of SFPD

    Of course, but the whole situation is implausible on its face. It doesn't have to be a right-wing conspiracy.

      Guy with severe mental health issues [checks notes] in an era when the former president led an uprising--one which actually broke into the capitol building--to stay in power and [checks notes] breaks into the house of the [checks notes] super-vilified(1) speaker of the house, and--fining only Paul Pelosi there--attacks him. Yes, implausible on the face of it. Of course. How could this happen?

        Pelosi goes into the bathroom to call police. Pelosi leaves the bathroom to go back this "intruder". Pelosi opens the door for police, and goes back to the "intruder". Where this is finally an argument and he is attacked in front of police. ... You should update your notes.

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.
