Following an apparent second attempt on the life of US President Donald Trump, Musk made headlines with his conspiracy theories when he said in a since-deleted X post that “no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.” Musk, who has vowed to defend Trump, eventually removed his post after receiving a lot of criticism and said it was only a "joke."

Nevertheless, the post received 9,800 reshares and 4.3 million views in its first 2.5 hours of existence.
Musk also reshared a video on Wednesday, claiming falsely that the Springfield, Ohio, city manager had acknowledged in March that there had been reports of Haitian immigrants eating pets. Musk captioned the post with the hashtag "Always Be Cheating News," a direct jab at ABC's moderators for fact-checking Trump's unfounded assertions during the debate.

During the hearing, the mayor and manager of the city both stated they had not seen any evidence to support these assertions.
