Elon Musk made it official Sunday — democracy is on life support.
For anyone who wondered what the world's richest man had in mind for one of the world's most powerful social media platforms, the answer came around 5 a.m. when Musk tweeted out a link to a vicious and false conspiracy theory to his 112 million followers on his new toy, Twitter.
I'm not going to repeat that ugly, anti-LGBTQ garbage here, but suffice it to say it's a tidily packed bit of refuse about the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, who is married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It brings together multiple storylines of hate and conspiracy, all part of the far-right attempt to topple a democracy that I personally am fond of.
