There is a new sheriff in town on Twitter and thinks are not the same for Democrats as they used to be.
The new Twitter CEO Elon Musk trolled former Democrat presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she blamed Republicans for the attack on Paul Pelosi.
“The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow,” she said.

Musk responded to her with a link to a website that shared a baseless conspiracy theory that Paul Pelosi got injured because he was drunk, which is provably not true, and that he met his attacker in a gay bar.
“There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye,” the CEO said.
The evidence points to the attack on Paul Pelosi being a targeted political attack by David DePape, who believed and shared many conspiracy theories.
But Musk was not the only person to troll the tweet.
“You and your husband created this environment by relentlessly attacking your political opponents. You’re still doing it for God sakes. The Republican Party had nothing to do with this and you know it,” Buzz Patterson said.

“1. Assailant in his underpants 2. Paul Pelosi knows his name and tells police he’s a “friend.” 3. Assailant asks “where’s Nancy?” to make sure she’s not home. 4. Pelosi takes bathroom break from spat and makes 911 call Conclusion: This guy was a sex partner or male prostitute!” conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza said.

And while there is no evidence that any of these theories are true, there is also no evidence that DePape identified with the Republican Party.
Others were furious with Musk.

“This exchange between @HillaryClinton and @elonmusk should kill any remaining confidence advertisers had in the platform,” Molly Jong-Fast said.
