Some details about theTexas shooter revealed.

Retweeting/replying to false conspiracy theories with "this gets weirder by the moment" is spreading misinformation, and going by the English language he is entertaining the idea. It had millions of views. The biggest replies to his post are in support of that message, and also took it that way.

Elon Musk's tweets about Texas mall gunman spread misleading claims, question shooter's background | AP News

This is basic English. Both major publications and the replies to his tweet took it the way I saw it. I don't know what more I can say. AP (High Fact) said he's spreading false far right claims (which my eyes saw too) so that's what happened. Final.

He's smarter than that, a more logical reply to that tweet would have been "nah that's bullshit". Because it was batshit crazy. But then he might lose fans.

He can just look at the replies to Elon's tweet and see most people took it the way I, and other publications, saw it.

No one intelligent would entertain those tweets. Elon's grifting the right.

Wait wtf,

"Didn't the story come from Bellingcat, which literally specializes in psychological operations?" Musk tweeted.

Grifter it is I guess.

And easily. These people are the most gullible. I have a few bridges to sell them.

That's exactly Elon's goal. Easy fans. He knows how fucking stupid they are.

Elon himself isn't far right, he knows this is all fake. He's done this act a few times now, like that "prosecute faucci" bullshit.

I can't speak for Elons goals, I doubt he can see much further past his nose.

Calling the Russian background weird doesn't really scratch the surface on its oddity. The mere reply to another was to provide enjoyment/entertain the extreme right? Is any tweet by Musk entertaining another? Perhaps we have different expectations of what level of content Twitter provides, including whom it stems from. Plus, why would what people reply to another have any bearing on Elon?

Huh? You still got to copy and paste another article? Lol What is basic English about it? The publications used terms like "appears" which is a subjective inference, is it not? You're welcome to believe it as well, however it's more beneficial when you actually use critical thinking instead of relying on others to think for you which is why I continue to ask you to type instead of copy/paste.

I see your point now though, for when you say a reply by Elon garners millions of views so his content should be more impartial when it comes to addressing rapidly evolving events instead of tip toeing into unverifiable information, then that's a reasonable take. Ambiguity can create division or in this case, angry keyboard warriors.

He does have them paying for blue checks now.

You're not as high and mighty as you think. You don't understand the word "appears" better than anyone here. Try that critical thinking, because you're falling behind.

Anyway now that we confirmed Elon spread false information and entertained far right conspiracy theories, lets talk about guns:

Rally in Allen calls for stronger gun laws after outlet mall shooting (dallasnews.com)

I agree. More common sense gun control.

Who said anything about high and mighty...Is that how you view the interwebs? Trying to give the Utah salt flats a run for its money?

I'm being super tribal right now.

@Stevo_the_gamer: There’s not much distinction between a passion for acquiring things and an obsession with acquiring things. There wouldn’t be much passion, otherwise. In any event, people with this problem refuse to accept it anyway. Others will clearly see it. They wiill not.

Is that a yes then... ?

It "appears" AP was correct,

@InEMplease: Kind of a silly way to lose an account, but it did bring a chuckle.
