Easy mistake to make…
Elon Musk reposted an image from an account claiming to show ‘migrants storming a Birmingham hospital’, but people have pointed out it was actually just a scene from a Batman film.
The Tesla-billionaire has been making waves of recent taking aim at British politics and politicians alike.
His most recent questionable post to X, is one claiming to show a Birmingham hospital ‘overrun by migrants’ when in fact the image was from The Dark Knight Rises Batman film.
And Musk seemed happy to share it, with an apparent lack of interest for how accurate it is.
This was proven recently when he shared a post from a random account that showed a picture purporting to show migrants storming a hospital with axes and knives.
The account claimed the picture had been taken in Birmingham and that the story was “buried on mainstream media.”
Musk shared the post, with the caption: “What happened here?”
But it wasn’t long before people realised everything about the post was a straight-up lie, because the image was fake, with many saying it was a scene from the film The Dark Knight Rises.
The post has since been deleted by both the original account who shared the image and Musk. West Midlands Police have also released a statement confirming the image was fake and that no disorder took place at any hospital in Birmingham.
