Tesla CEO Elon Musk is defending former President Donald Trump on Sunday after multiple establishment media outlets ran headlines stating that the former president warned the U.S. would see a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected. [Snip] "Jan 6 was not a 'bloodbath' by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word," Musk, the owner of X, replied to Scarborough. "Your post is extremely misleading." When Trump used the word "bloodbath," he was discussing China's reported plans to build cars in Mexico and sell them cheaply in the United States.

People like Joe Scarborough don't have the ability to read more than one sentence. But then again when you have glasses as thick as this idiot

Biden, the leftist and socialist Democrats, and their liberal media propagandists just about always take Trump’s comments out of context and essentially spread falsehoods to the American people. Anytime you hear or see that, you should go toTrump’s original comments to find out his meanings and the correct story,

Thanks so much!!
FTA: ~~""We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if – I get elected," Trump said at the Ohio rally Saturday. "Now if I don't get elected it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars." ~~

I doubt if Scarborough has ever had an original thought in his life. His comments were probably the result of the DNC talking points.

Dems MISINFORMATION. Pls watch the beginning few minutes of this video. It shows what Trump REALLY said re the "bloodbath" LIES the dems are spreading. Can't they be sued for the LIES they tell. Offering your opinion you can lie but not telling the WHOLE statement is wrong.

Bloodbath? Violence? That is why they focus so much on January 6, 2021 but won't even take a look at the summer of 2020. There was so much going on and not once did Donald Trump step in. Oh sure, Joe Biden was on bended knee acting like he was listening. Since being President, look at how many violent acts have erupted. . .

Musk exposes a strategy. Every time Donald Trump says something, the media, vile politicians or stupid celebrities attempt to make something negative out of it. The "dictator" quote, the "good people on both sides" quote, the "social security" quote, all of it. What was once evidence against an evil orange man is now a testament to the stupidity of the Left.

Yes - all true but where is anyone on our side, except for Trump, hyping what ever dumb things Biden has said? Biden's comment about a "minor invasion" of Ukraine when asked by a reporter before Russian invaded Ukraine, apologizing for calling the ILLEGAL alien who killed Laken Riley, etc etc.

One more comment. I looked up the definition of bloodbath and here is Merriam Webster's:
1
: a great slaughter
2
a
: a notably fierce, violent, or destructive contest or struggle
the campaign has become a bloodbath
b
: a major economic disaster
a market bloodbath
The Democrats and liberals are really showing how illiterate they are along with the media. With reading and writing, a person should have command of words and their meanings and given the media, it seems like they really don't have command of language. . .

The knuckleheads could learn a lot from Musk. You would think they would be tired from always having to be corrected.

They did not take it out of context. They knew the exact context but chose to LIE about.
