TL;DR Summary

Far-right figures, including Elon Musk, have propagated baseless claims of Haitian cannibal gangs illegally entering the U.S. amid the country's political turmoil, despite NBC's debunking of the allegations. This fear-mongering tactic aims to stoke anxiety over border issues and demonize migrants, reflecting a long history of baseless accusations against Haitians. The spread of misinformation about cannibalism serves to further the age-old moral panic of foreign evil-doers overwhelming communities, but it's a cruel and unfounded response to a real humanitarian crisis.
