Elon Musk endorses conspiracy theory around Biden’s cancer diagnosis – The Independent
President Donald Trump’s ally, Elon Musk, endorsed a conspiracy theory about former-President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis in a post on X.
On Sunday night, right-wing podcast host Clint Russell took to X to accuse the Democrats of forging an “evil” plan to get Biden elected into office and strategically drop out because of his diagnosis, to pave the way for Kamala Harris to take the reins.
The former President was diagnosed with an “aggressive” prostate cancer on Friday, according to a spokesperson on his behalf.
“So the plan was to run Biden, lie about his cancer and dementia, get him back in the WH, and then have him immediately step aside so Kamala’s reign of terror could begin.

“All while trying to jail or kill DJT. Just making sure we’re all on the same page, here. These people are evil,” the Liberty Lockdown podcaster scorned on X.
Musk, who has become a recent figure of the past after he slipped away from his political duties with the Department of Government Efficiency, simply responded with a “bullseye” emoji in a dart board, appearing to pledge his support for the bizarre claim.
Other members of the Trump clan, including the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., leapt to X to make inaccurate claims.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” the eldest tweeted on X Sunday.
The businessman appeared to conflate former first lady Jill Biden’s doctor of education (EdD) degree from the University of Delaware with a formal medical qualification.

Another user, Grummz, went beyond to chime in on the conspiracy debate, writing: “We came so close to total wipeout in the US. X would be gone, mass censorship the norm, and total woke takeover in gaming and movies.
“And quite possibly WW3. Count your blessings,” he added.
Musk’s short and curt response came in response to both men’s ramblings.
