Elon Musk recently appeared on CNBC and schooled a reporter who questioned some the things he tweets about.
The reporter accused Musk of sharing conspiracy theories, and Musk reminded him that plenty of so-called conspiracy theories end up being true, such as the Hunter Biden laptop.
Musk also correctly pointed out that the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story was election interference.

Musk said, “Well, yes, but I mean, honestly, you know, some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true.”
Faber said, “Which ones?”Musk said, “Well, like the Hunter Biden laptop.”
Faber said, “That’s true.”
Musk said, “So, you know, that was a pretty big deal. There was Twitter, and others engaged in an act of suppression of information that was relevant to the public. That’s a terrible thing that happened. That’s election interference.”
