One example: tweeting/retweeting debunked conspiracy theories, some of which Musk is forced to delete later due to external criticism and/or personal embarrassment.
- mwint 4y agoIn 2021, would have you counted “Wuhan lab leak” as a debunked conspiracy theory?
- lapcat 4y agoI would say that Musk deleting his own tweets is evidence that his conspiracy theories have been debunked.
- dragontamer 4y agoElon Musk's tweets on COVID-19 are that it's a conspiracy in general and will disappear in April 2020. Which is absolutely a right wing conspiracy theory and fully debunked. I'm not sure how extreme you realize Mr. Musk has been with his tweets. We aren't at Wuhan Lab theory here, Musk has tweeted much much worse.
- BurningPenguin 4y agoI'd say there is a teensy-weensy difference between "it can't be ruled out yet, but there is no evidence" and "it's definitely the only explanation, so let's screw with any slightly chinese looking person".

- prepend 4y agoWhy would this be a signal of right vs left? If I tweet any conspiracy theory, that makes me far-right? Are all lemurians or flat earthers far right?
- lapcat 4y ago> Why would this be a signal of right vs left? That wasn't the question. The question was, "What's the difference between far right extremist and center-right person?"
