    Hang on, this guy the AP seriously took a picture where there is no injury to his ear? What was all the blood then? This one needs independent corroboration.

        In addition, a competent plastic surgeon would likely make it look like it had never happened. I hope he goes to jail for the crimes he committed, but do people really expect him to wear an ear diaper the rest of his life?

        I was thinking the same thing. But something tells me the people who’d be in charge of banning the photographer, if not Musk himself, wouldn’t know that.

      When an octopus gets frightened it releases ink to confuse predators. Due to his love of hamburgers Donnie releases catsup.

      It was probably caused when like eight huge guys shoved him to the ground.

      The guy’s nearly 80. Shit gets injured easily when you’re old.

      Real bullets were fired for sure, but I don’t think they actually came within a centimetre of preserving democracy. We’re not that unlucky.

        If you’d actually watched the videos you’d have seen blood on the way to the ground; something definitely hit his ear.

          Not to be conspiratorial but I watched that video back on super slow speed zoomed in and when he puts his hand up to his ear it comes back with no blood on it.

          Maybe I’m missing it. I have head injuries and they bleed a lot very quickly.

      Could simply be his other ear and photograph is just mirrored. Like screens, you raise your left hand but to your reflection it’s its right hand.

      I think he wasn’t hit by a bullet but by shrapnel from something else that was hit. It’ probably superficial.
