It depends on how solid evidence there is against him. If it's solid I believe he would probably fess up.
Do we know at what extent, what role so that we can say that for sure?
Yes, I believe he also tweeted this.
Might be wise not to throw out probabilities of Musks handling of things that we really know nothing about.
Elon is one of the biggest bullshitters of this century. It's well documented.
I've seen his posts on X daily for quite some time and see a pattern of him/his aid posting misinformation constantly. And basically "shit-posting" tons. They clearly don't have the time/interest and most importantly motivation to verify much and are in a hurry to get it out/viral ASAP. They rarely take down false stuff/post corrections/apologies etc.
Right now there's a "let's post anything about USAID" yolo thing going on there.
It is a good time to look for controversial posts like this on X and see who posts them and how. It helps one learn to discern bots and such.
A blue-checkmarked X account, SidneyPowell1 (formerly, blue checkmarks verified identity, but Musk changed it so anyone can buy one (bizarre)), also reposted the video.
It doesn't seem to be the real Sidney Powell, as she doesn't link to it from her website.. She does link to her Telegram channel which looks wildly different from the X account. No mention of Stiller there.
Assume... Must? Please assume carefully. It's the mother of all.. something or other.
If if were the real Powell and she (not he) doesn't recognize an obviously poorly faked E-news video, I believe it is an important tell-tale sign of her poor reasoning abilities.
This fake E-News video is of very poor quality:-
- E-news short videos don't look like this.
- E-news short videos don't have subjects/angles like this.
- They aren't narrated by AI like this one is.
- They don't have clumsy, awkward senteces like "This was done to increase Zenensky's popularity among foreign audiences, particularly the United States" which sound very familiar for someone looking into these kinds of videos.
This brings up the question about videos that are spread containing promotional links to Christs.net / Gibraltar-Messenger.
Is there a risk of bad, incorrect, untruthful material, like for instance this video, "tainting them" and the whole baby out with the bathwater scenario? Would a disclaimer be a good idea?
Is an analysis like this a waste of time? I don’t think so—especially if it clearly demonstrates the huge difference careful fact-checking makes in determining what is most likely true or not.
Such an exercise can also serve as a demonstration—an exercise of the mind in carefully and calmly logically distilling truth from muddy waters.
Another positive thing is that if we add a lot of well-written material here the amount of visitors might grow.
I was not able to find the source of the video. Tsargrad.tv and their Telegram channel is blocked in Finland. I might see if I can bypass that with a VPN. It might be interesting to see what else is published there.
This analysis was not very hard. Let's see if this one is.
