ELON: WE’RE LIVING IN THE MOST INTERESTING TIME IN HISTORY “Sometimes, it's easy to get down about some day-to-day event or political stuff or whatever. But in the grand scheme of things, we are living in the most interesting time in history. And that's pretty cool.” Source: Interview @theXtakeover with @teslaownersSV , July 2024

January 6th was Nowhere Near a Violent Insurrection About an hour into the Town Hall, Elon Musk responded to a man who expressed anger at Trump over January 6th. Elon was thoughtful with his response, even mentioning his concern over the media taking a sound bite of something he says and spinning it to fit their narrative. Likewise, this is exactly what the media has done to Trump. Elon's outlook: "If you've heard something bad about Trump, listen to his whole speech. That's actually very important. On January 6th, his statements on that day, he told people to back down. "He said, 'Do not do violence,' but some people said that's actually some sort of dog whistle about doing violence, so I'm like, what are you supposed to say? "You know he did actually tell people to not be violent. He recommended that the National Guard be deployed and Nancy Pelosi said No. He did not call for any violence." Elon continued (after a few shouts in the audience), saying, "Obviously, the level of disruption was high and I don't applaud any kind of damage to public property or course, but the media tries to characterize January 6th as some sort of violent insurrection, which is simply not the case. That is false." (the Pennsylvania crowd cheers) Elon explains he takes the middle ground on January 6th. Elon: "I would take probably what I think is the middle ground, which is I disagree with the level of protest but it was in no way a violent insurrection. There's got to be a lot of guns for it to be a violent insurrection. And there were a lot of strange things. "There were a lot of irregularities that are hard to explain... there were things that were statistically unlikely, let me put it that way. "So, it's not as if the January 6th protests had no merit, they had some merit. I disagree with the magnitude of what they did, but it's not as if there were no issues. "There were issues, and we have this weird situation in America where it's almost impossible to prove fraud. Elon: "Because if you've got no voter ID, and mail-in ballots, how do you prove fraud? And... it does seem more than a little odd that we don't have voter ID and New York and states like California which are supermajority Democrats. "They passed a law banning voter ID in any election whatsoever. Now, how is that supporting democracy? That's not supporting democracy. That's insane. "Almost every country on earth has voter ID requirements, but we don't. Why? And why do the same people who demanded vaccine IDs for you to do anything, are the same ones who say 'No ID for voting!' "Something doesn't add up. It doesn't add up. So, I actually think... my opinion is... that those who think Trump is a threat to Democracy, are they themselves the threat to democracy." Note: On June 28, 2024: The US Supreme Court ruled that many January 6 prosecutions were illegal. Many people held on false charges in jail were set free, and hundreds of charges were dropped. In a 5-4 decision, the court decided the DOJ abused its power and overused “obstruction” charges on peaceful protestors of J6. ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴀɴ ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴍʏ ᴀʀᴛɪᴄʟᴇꜱ ɪɴ ᴇʟᴏɴ'ꜱ ᴛᴏᴡɴ ʜᴀʟʟꜱ ɪɴ ᴘᴇɴɴꜱʏʟᴠᴀɴɪᴀ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴠᴇʀꜱᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɪꜱ ᴏɴ x. ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴏʀ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ʜᴇʀᴇ.
