Elon Musk is using his social media platform to promote misinformation about the presidential candidates in the lead up to the November election, amplifying false claims Wednesday about a Trump rally bomb threat and immigrants eating pets in Ohio.

Elon Musk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday both took to X to decry a rumor that an explosive device was discovered near the Long Island site where former President Trump is set to hold a rally Wednesday night.

Elon Musk says a post he wrote and later deleted amid a firestorm of criticism on Sunday was meant as a joke.Reacting to the second attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Tesla billionaire responded to a post asking why people want to kill the former president.
