The goal is not to earnestly correct the record on crime but to spread an atmosphere of fear and paranoia.
Musk was retweeting a wildly false post insisting that violent crime is on the rise... despite what the FBI's data and all other legitimate statistical sources show.
Trump's claim about rising crime is false; violent crime is actually down, and he's wrong as is Musk. The disinformation campaign persists.
It's a vivid example of a new big lie driven by Donald Trump and his allies, full of easily debunked nonsense.
