Elon Musk’s recent claims about an axe murderer threatening Twitter employees in SF have been dismissed by the SFPD as false.

Musk tweeted about this incident, saying it happened about a year ago when a guy tried to attack three employees outside the old Twitter HQ. He even mentioned that the attacker later killed someone. It’s a pretty intense claim, right?
But here’s the kicker: Musk has changed the details of this story multiple times. In one version, he said it was a machete instead of an axe, and that the employees didn’t report it because it wasn’t a serious crime. Yet, threatening someone with a machete is definitely a crime in California.
The SFPD spokesperson confirmed they couldn’t find any incidents like Musk described. It’s a bit concerning when someone with so much influence spreads stories that don’t hold up under scrutiny.
Musk’s comments come amid a backdrop of rising crime concerns in San Francisco, but it seems like he’s using these stories to push a narrative that doesn’t quite match reality. It’s a reminder to take his claims with a grain of salt.
