      With Elmo, it’s ego. If he cared about money, he wouldn’t have offered to buy Twitter for multiples of its actual value.

        He offered to buy Twitter for multiple times it’s value because he was trying to pump and dump the stock but he somehow did it in the stupidest way possible so he got forced into actually buying it instead of dumping the stock he had already bought. Even his ego move was about money.

    I don’t usually like these cheesy names people give to people who deserve worse but “Musk’s Misinformation Machine” kinda has a ring to it with a ringleader inferred

    Interestingly I am having this pushed by Ground News as a “blindspot” article for the left:

    All the outlets are Russian or Infowars:

    This is the more blatant side of the Russian disinformation campaign to destabilise the UK.
