Musk suggested that revelations about the shooter's background could be a “psyop,” or psychological operation, in which the public is misled about the real details of the shooting.
While communities continue to grieve after Saturday's mass shooting in Allen, Texas, Twitter owner Elon Musk is spreading misleading claims about the gunman
Garcia was wearing a "Right Wing Death Squad" patch when he was killed by police. Authorities and independent researchers have confirmed his interest in far-right extremism and white supremacism Musk has questioned whether the man identified by authorities as the shooter, Mauricio Garcia, really had an account on a Russian social media platform, and Musk suggested that revelations about the shooter's background could be a “psyop,” or psychological operation, in which the public is misled about the real details of the shooting.
Musk also cast doubt on a Netherlands-based research group known as Bellingcat that released information about Garcia's online history when he tweeted that it “specializes in psychological operations.” He offered no evidence to support his claim, but the attack led to a barrage of harassment directed at Bellingcat from Musk's online fans.
