Back in January 2017 some MSM (CNN?) "reporter" posted a picture from the Oval Office, claiming Trump had removed a bust of MLK Jr.. Very shortly, it was pointed out - and the "reporter" admitted - that a standing person was between the camera and the bust that, in fact, was still there. It was, perhaps, the first NSN lie of Trump's Presidency.
One might think that after this and the myriad (slight exaggeration) other Hate-Trump MSM lies exposed by witnesses, pictures, and videos during Trump's first Administration and LIEden's, that the MSM might have learned not to lie when exposure of the lie would be so easy. As this lie - with hundreds of witnesses and God knows how many dozens or scores of videos of what Musk actually did - about the Inauguration demonstrates, some/many/most in the MSM are as hate-driven and willing to blatantly lie as ever.
BTW, one of Progs' anti-Musk false narratives is that because he is white and South African, he therefore supported Apartheid. IRL, he had dual South African and Canadian citizenship. When he graduated from secondary school, he used his Canadian citizenship to avoid South African military service, in which he might have had to enforce Apartheid. Instead, Musk emigrated to Canada, worked there for a time, and then went to university in Canada.
