San Francisco under the blows of Elon Musk.
For months, the billionaire businessman has launched an assault on the city, a symbol of the liberals. He made her the target of his war on the Vigilance Virus.
This expression includes the ideological values of the progressives or the left, including gender equality, diversity, and anti-discrimination and hate speech.
CEO of Tesla (TSLA) – Get a free reportThese values are one cause of the problems currently undermining major American cities and cities controlled by elected Democrats. He thinks San Francisco is the perfect example. Thus he and his techno friends portray the tech capital as a lawless city, where insecurity reigns supreme.
In this vein of attacks, the king of techno just shared a story that will send chills down your spine. It is important to note that while Musk left California in 2021 to settle in Texas, Twitter, one of his companies, is still headquartered in downtown San Francisco.
A friend of mine experienced a shooting last night.
According to the billionaire, on June 9, one of his friends who lives in San Francisco was shot, when one of the bullets penetrated the wall of his house. Musk does not give more details. For example, it does not say in which neighborhood the friend lives; whether there were injuries or at what time the shooting took place. Nor did he provide the circumstances of this serious accident. The billionaire simply says that this is the second time his friend has faced a shooting outside his home.
“A friend of mine got shot last night outside his apartment in San Francisco, with a bullet through his wall,” Musk said on Twitter on June 10. “The second time it happened.”
The San Francisco Police Department has confirmed that nine people were injured in a shooting June 9 in San Francisco’s Mission District during a block party. They said it was “target” shooting.
The police department said, “All (victims) are expected to survive their injuries. At this time, the incident appears to be targeted and isolated. There is no known threat to the public at this time.”
Musk did not say if the shooting he was referring to was the one the police claimed.
Varying degrees of injuries from non-life-threatening to life-threatening. The ages of the victims are as follows: #1 23 years old/male, #2 22 years old/male, #3 25 years old/male, #4 unknown information at this time, #5 27 y/o male, #6 29 y/o male, #7 34 y/o male, #8 19 y/o female, #9 35 y/o male,” Vice President Raj Vaswani said in a tweet.
Musk seems to indicate that shootings have become a daily occurrence for San Francisco residents. As a result, the tech mogul’s story reinforces the narrative he’s building about San Francisco. Two days ago, he called on city law enforcement to remember to fight crime as they showed their support for the LGBTQ+ community at a June dedicated to LGBTQ+ pride.
The city’s official crime figures paint a different story. Recent data from the San Francisco Police Department shows that homicides rose 5% from January 1 to June 4, while robberies rose 16.1%. Car thefts increased by about 6%, and arson increased by 5%.
Attacks were down 1.5%, and burglaries were down about 11%. Based on the numbers, crime overall is down 6.9% year over year.
San Francisco battle
Musk’s San Francisco crusade aims to overcome people’s frustration in order to vote Democrat in the next election cycle. The billionaire has never hidden his intentions because the perception that crime is on the rise is massive in the city, according to local authorities.
“SF is what happens when one party controls for several decades — there is no feedback loop to correct, because they never lose, no matter how bad it gets,” he said last month.
The billionaire, who has nearly 143 million followers on Twitter, called on voters to vote Republican in the national midterm elections last November. In this election, the Democrats increased their control of the Senate and narrowly lost control of the House of Representatives.
Musk has also previously indicated that his candidate for the 2024 presidential election is Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida. He politicized Twitter on May 24 by introducing DeSantis to users in Twitter Spaces with live audio. The interview was marked by the two men’s statements to defeat the awakened mind virus, which he described as the enemy of civilization.
If Musk wins the San Francisco battle, it will be one of the right’s biggest victories in the new culture war.
