Joe Scarborough Deletes Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Post After Reply From Elon Musk

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough deleted a social media post about Trump’s “bloodbath” remark after receiving a reply from Elon Musk.

Former President Donald Trump said at a Saturday rally in Ohio that there would be a “bloodbath” for the country while railing against jobs in the auto industry being offshored to other countries under the Biden administration. Musk responded to Scarborough, who then deleted his own post, after the “Morning Joe” host posted footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot on X.

“Donald Trump’s America. And he’s proud of it,” Scarborough wrote in the now-deleted post. “Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.”

“Jan 6 was not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading,” Musk replied.

Trump’s “bloodbath” comment was made as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee riffed about how countries like Mexico and China are financially benefitting from President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) policies.
