While making an announcement that an arrest had been made in the stabbing death of Bob Lee, who founded Cash App, Jenkins decided to focus on what was really on her mind: Elon Musk (Fox News). She slammed the billionaire’s comments about the murder.
After San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed that the suspect, 38-year-old Nima Momeni, knew Lee, Jenkins switched gears and knocked the Tesla founder’s tweets on the tragedy.
“While we’re not going to release any additional facts at this time, I must point out that reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in Mr. Musk’s tweet that assumed incorrect circumstances about Mr. Lee’s death serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of San Francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime as it spreads misinformation at a time when the police are trying to solve a very difficult case,” she said.
What was Musk’s great sin? He noted on Twitter that he had friends who had been violently assaulted on the streets of San Francisco and that the city was unsafe. Apparently, Jenkins took great offense to that despite her city seeing a 33 percent increase in homicides year over year. As Fox News notes, while overall crime rates have fallen, that’s likely due to less serious crimes simply not being reported anymore given the lack of enforcement. If someone gets mugged in San Francisco, there’s no point in even calling the police anymore.
