Disinformation Trump and Musk peddle falsehoods
The Guardian
|November 06, 2024
Americans went to the polls yesterday against a backdrop of disinformation - much of it suspected of originating in Russia - as the FBI warned of fake videos and non-credible threats of terrorism aimed at disrupting the US presidential election.
These tensions were stoked by Donald Trump supporters, and the former US president himself. Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a vocal Trump backer, tweeted a video of support that appeared to reference the far-right QAnon ideology.
The video, showing footage of the January 6 insurrection and featuring Van Halen's song Jump as a soundtrack, came after an earlier social media post from the entrepreneur that repeated elements of a debunked conspiracy from the 2016 presidential election.
"The hammer of justice is coming," read that earlier post.
The flood of untruths was fed by Trump yesterday as he falsely claimed he had a "big lead" in opinion polls while casting doubt on the reliability of voting machines.
