When asked about his tweets about Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who was violently bludgeoned on the head with a hammer by an intruder last year, Musk admitted that he’s often tweeted things he shouldn’t have. The Twitter CEO amplified a baseless conspiracy theory that stated Paul Pelosi was a homosexual and fighting with a male escort when he was assaulted. Musk issued a brief apology for his tweets this past January.

“I mean, have I shot myself in the foot with tweets multiple times? Yes. I need bulletproof shoes at this point,” Musk said. “I think I should not tweet after 3 a.m.”
