Elon Musk shares faked far-right 'detainment camp' post
The image was faked to look like it had come from the Daily Telegraph website.
Elon Musk has deleted an image he shared on X, formerly Twitter, which promoted a conspiracy theory about the UK building "detainment camps" on the Falkland Islands for rioters.
The image - which was faked to look like it had come from the Daily Telegraph website - had been posted by the co-leader of the far-right Britain First party, Ashlea Simon, though it had appeared elsewhere before she shared it.
Mr Musk's post was viewed more than 1.7 million times before it was removed - with Ms Simon's post briefly tagged with a note reading "this story does not exist" before it too was removed.
It is the latest in a series of controversial interventions from the tech billionaire since the unrest began, some of which have been directly condemned by the prime minister.
Elon must be forgetting that he’s an immigrant
At this rate it won't be anthropogenic climate change or the associated risks that will kill us.
It'll be war and chaos sparked by some AI generated misinformation peddled by morons like Elol and these other braindead wastes.
These fuckers would rather see the world destroyed than pay their fair share of taxes.
True. No taxes for them in that case. No food either, after a while.
I mean I don't think the morons would direct or consume the misinformation if we were not overgrown on the petri dish.
I think they find these things so believable and worth sharing because it's the sort of thing they'd actually do if given the opportunity.
While it is completely possible musk believes things like this. I still mostly think he just wants to pander to his primary audience and doesn't mind spreading things he knows aren't true.
I can't hear anything from them without thinking projection.
You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to believe that.
Traitor. Jail.
I'm not generally in favor of lynch mobs. I think its okay to lynch Elon Musk. After all, he incited an entire country of lynch mobs
Live by the lynch mob die by the lynch mob. Sic semper fascist. Just look a Mussolini and turn that frown upside down.
You undercook chicken. Jail. You overcook chicken, believe it or not, jail.
Reddit needs to write some new material.
DELETE TWITTER
It takes a lot, but "conservatives" can be shamed.
