Elon Musk says the real threat to democracy is the people who accuse Trump of endangering it

Tech mogul Elon Musk is playing down the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. At a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night, he said people “who say Trump is a threat to democracy are themselves a threat to democracy." Musk also exhorted supporters to cast votes early in the presidential swing state while also describing mail ballots as a “recipe for fraud.” Musk drew applause when he said the Jan. 6 attack by Trump’s supporters has been called “some sort of violent insurrection, which is simply not the case.”
