Elon Musk joined the outpouring of outrage after a man and woman were beaten to a pulp by an unruly mob after an Ohio jazz festival.

The victims were brutally attacked Friday night in downtown Cincinnati after being swarmed by the violent crowd, video of the horrific attack showed.

A man in a white t-shirt is apparently shoved to ground by two men and repeatedly beaten as other members of the crowd jeer and join in.

The gang batters the man for nearly a minute as he lay in the middle of the street, seemingly stepping on his head multiple times.

When the barrage of attacks temporarily stops, he is seen attempting to stand – but immediately fell over in apparent disorientation. One attacker yelled out ‘my man’s drunk’.

A woman in a black dress rushes to his aid, but is attacked by the crowd, suffering two blows to the face. The impact caused her to fall, with her head slamming the pavement. She became unconscious as blood spewed from her mouth.

Musk, apparently frustrated by the heinous act of violence, took to his social media platform X to question what he suggested was a lack of response to the incident.

‘Why zero stories?’ the Tesla CEO asked Sunday, retweeting a post from the End Wokeness X account alleging that the attack wasn’t being covered by America’s major news outlets.

End Wokeness posted a tweet early Sunday afternoon claiming CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox News, The New York Times and The Washington Post, among others, had failed to cover the attack. 

By late Sunday evening the terrifying assault had been covered by several local and national media outlets, including the Daily Mail and Fox News.

Musk reshared the tweet Sunday evening, prompting a wave of criticisms from other X users who also alleged the story was being ignored because it ‘doesn’t fit the woke narrative’.

‘The funded media knows it doesn’t match the typical narrative,’ one X user replied. 

‘Thank you Elon for shining our light on the legacy media’s bias,’ echoed another.

Another added: ‘I’m asking the same question. I think we all know the answer.’

‘It doesn’t fit the narrative Elon,’ one wrote. 

Many X users attributed the alleged lack of coverage to racial bias by the media outlets, although there is no actual evidence to support these claims. 

Some users suggested that maybe there ‘weren’t enough reporters’ working over the weekend to cover the story.

Others simply raised concern for the victims.

‘It really is concerning. This should be on every news story for weeks. These poor people,’ one wrote. 

‘So scary,’ echoed another.

The Friday night assault at the intersection of Fourth and Elm Streets started with a verbal dispute between at least two men, according to police. 

The carnage left at least two people, the unidentified male and female victim, injured. A good Samaritan rushed them to a local hospital in the aftermath, WKRC reported. 

Their conditions remain unclear as cops work to identify and arrest all of those involved.

Video obtained by WKRC appears to show the moments leading up to the attack. 

The man in the white t-shirt appears to be talking with the group, when he suddenly slaps a man in a red t-shirt. 

It also shows another man being targeted by the unruly mob.

Investigators have already identified four to five suspects believed to have participated in the ‘savage attack’, police union president Ken Kober told The Cincinnati Enquirer.

He said officers are continuing investigate tips as they try to identify the remaining suspects. 

Police have not yet announced any arrests in connection to the fight, but Kober insists officials are ‘doing everything they can’.

‘These investigators have been working around the clock to identify everybody that’s involved, to be able to locate these people, to be able to interview them, to be able to get a true picture of exactly what occurred,’ he told WKRC.

Investigators have also received tips on some of the attackers’ identities, Kober said.

‘I would ask… that the public play a part in this, because stuff like this shouldn’t happen in our city, but when it does, we need people to step forward, that way we can bring these people to justice.’ 

Kober argued there is ‘no place in society’ for the violence displayed Friday night and, in separate remarks to WLWT, called the brawl ‘disgusting’.

‘What’s equally disgusting is those who chose to watch and record instead of calling 911, attempting to defuse the situation or render aid.’

The central business district and riverfront area where the assault took place has seen a 25 percent increase in violence compared to last year, according to Cincinnati police data published July 21.

The data also shows that there were 12 aggravated assaults in the city between January 1 through July 21, compared to 16 during the same time period last year. 

‘I am in complete disgust waking up to the viral video many of you have now seen,’ Cincinnati police Chief Teresa Theetge said on Saturday, after mayoral candidate and Vice President JD Vance’s half brother reposted the video – arguing that the current administration is not doing enough to address crime in the city.

‘The behavior is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable,’ she continued, vowing that investigators will work ‘diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm.’
