So here’s the timeline of your “favourite”.

> Elon Musk and conservative influencers have spread unverified claims to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.
Elon Responds (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1768172021580480967?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1768172021580480967?s=20)

Linking to a video that was removed by X itself that includes claims that Haitians practice cannibalism.
So half the claim is proven by Musk’s own words that he believes Haitians practice cannibalism.
The second, less important, half of the claim is whether he believes Haitians are “invading” the U.S.
I cannot find any evidence of him having used the term “invading” in this context but he himself in addition to the false claims of cannibalism is claiming that there is at the very least a likelihood that there are cannibals amongst the immigrants.

> If wanting to screen immigrants for potential homicidal tendencies and cannibalism makes me “right wing”, then I would gladly accept such a label!
—————
So other than the use of the hyperbolic term “invading” (which Elon Musk has used for immigrants in general in the past so it’s not completely inapplicable), everything else about that article seems accurate based on Elon’s public tweets themselves.
