“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally—and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird s***,” Musk said.
Secret Service Failures Raise Even More Questions
Musk also pointed out glaring security lapses that made the attempt on Trump’s life even more concerning. He noted the refusal to allow people on a nearby rooftop, supposedly due to safety concerns, despite Secret Service snipers being stationed on an even steeper roof.
“The fact that they wouldn’t let people be on that roof because the Secret Service lady said it was sloped and dangerous. That’s what she wanted out of everybody. Meanwhile, the snipers on the other roof were on a steeper pitch. It made no f****** sense. I totally agree it makes no sense,” Musk continued.
Was CNN Tipped Off?
Billionaire investor and Trump supporter Bill Ackman took to social media to question whether CNN had advance knowledge of the assassination attempt.
“What are the chances @CNN was tipped off to stream the Butler rally?” Ackman posted on X. “Why isn’t this worthy of an investigation? It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who orders the coverage and why.”
Fox News contributor Joe Concha echoed similar concerns.
“This is 100% correct. I was about to go on the air to co-host The Big Weekend Show and noticed this on my way in. CNN never airs Trump rallies anymore (they aired plenty in 2015-2016 for ratings). The question is — why this one?” Concha wrote.

CNN Pushes Back on Accusations
CNN responded swiftly to the growing speculation, denying any prior knowledge of the attempt on Trump’s life.
“CNN provided live coverage of President Trump’s Butler, PA, rally in anticipation of news about his pick for Vice President,” the network stated. “Any suggestion contrary to that fact is completely false.”
But this isn’t the first time CNN has been accused of getting tipped off in advance of major political events.
CNN’s History of ‘Coincidental’ Coverage
During Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion investigation, CNN’s cameras were conveniently positioned outside Roger Stone’s home just as the FBI raided the property. Stone, a longtime Trump ally, was arrested in dramatic fashion for allegedly lying to Congress.
To this day, many doubt CNN just happened to be at the right place at the right time, believing instead that someone in Mueller’s office tipped them off.
The same question now lingers over CNN’s decision to air Trump’s Butler rally—was it really just a coincidence, or did someone in the know make sure they were watching?
