X, formerly known as Twitter, owner Elon Musk shaded Tucker Carlson over the ex-Fox News host’s recent interview with a man claiming that he had a sexual encounter with former President Barack Obama.
Carlson’s interview was with Larry Sinclair, who alleges that 24 years ago, he “had a night of crack cocaine-fueled sex with Barack Obama.” In 2008, Sinclair made equivalent accusations against former President Obama, claiming to have seen him smoke crack in 1999. However, Sinclair failed a polygraph focusing on his allegation.
Nonetheless, for some, like Musk, the discussion drew criticism for the lack of physical evidence. On several occasions, the Tesla CEO took a shot at Sinclair’s credibility.
Here are the various replies throwing shade at Carlson’s interview:
“Mr Sinclair is not super convincing. Pics or …” Musk wrote in one reply.
“This seems dubious,” Musk said in another reply.
“Of course, the probability that his claims are true would have to rest on objective evidence, rather than claims made by someone with a dubious history,” Elon Musk added in another reply.
Musk’s shade at Carlson’s interview is notable, considering that X is now the platform that hosts his show after he exited Fox News.
