"Seems like they should be followed and unmasked," Musk said.
On Sunday, X owner Elon Musk called for members of the Patriot Front organization to be unmasked and questioned "Why doesn't the media or government care about their identities?" He asked.
The comment came in response to X user Wall Street Silver, who theorized, "The fact that the legacy media shows zero curiosity about unmasking these guys, tells us 100% that these are federal agents or paid stooges of one of the agencies."
"Seems like they should be followed and unmasked," Musk said.
On Saturday, a video showed 90-150 individuals marching in lockstep in New York City, escorted by police officers. It was shared across social media. The individuals all wore the same masks and caps.
The group marched through downtown Manhattan making their way down Wall Street. They were also seen near the 9/11 memorial and World Trade Center location, and held a demonstration outside the National Archives with a sign that read, "No Zionists in government."
Left-wing journalist Brian Krassenstien suggested that it would be breaking the law for the government or media to unmask them. "As much as I hate it, even hate has rights, unfortunately," he said.
"Just follow them," Musk responded.
US Rep. Thomas Massie joked in response to the video that they were "On their way to the pipe bomb workshop." He was referencing the recent report that pipe bombs placed outside the RNC and DNC on January 5, 2021, just a day before the J6 protest and riot at the Capitol Building, may have been a hoax that was potentially covered up by the FBI and the Secret Service.
The Marauder Magazine shared a video from BG On the Scene which showed the Patrot Front group getting into their cars and leaving the area on Saturday. They noted that the License plates on the vehicles were blank. After a Patriot Front demonstration in May of 2023, police in Washington DC, blocked anyone from following the group into the subway station. This left users to speculate that the authorities have not wanted people to find out who the members are.
The Patriot Front organization is listed as a white supremacist group by the Anti-Defemation League, which "justifies its ideology of hate and intolerance under the guise of preserving the ethnic and cultural origins of its members’ European ancestors."
The organization spreads its message by posting videos online.
