Musk Claimed That Nobody Says Dems Control the Weather. His Followers Disagreed.
Does he pay any attention to what his happening on his platform?
After right-wing conspiracy theorists who have been banned from Twitter by the old regime made post after post before, during and after the recent hurricanes claiming that it was a Deep State operation controlled by the Democrats to manipulate the election, Elon Musk's response when he was asked to do something about it was to deny it was even happening on his platform.
Marge Greene, Brian Glenn, Alex Jones, and dozens of other right-wing conspiracy theorists with big followings have been posting away different versions of a theory that Democrats are sending destructive storms into majority Republican areas of the country to cause death and destruction and keep them from voting.
The problem has gotten so bad that Joe Biden, along with Republican Senators, Governors, Members of Congress and local officials have begged people to stop it because the lies are only adding stress to the lives of storm victims. Content moderation could stop the nonsense on Twitter, but the platform doesn't have that anymore with Musk in charge - who seems to enjoy rolling around in the cesspool he has created.
When Twitter user Vinod Khosla, with a huge following of over 600K people, implored Musk and Trump to make posts to their fans to tell them to knock it off, Musk simply laughed it off by claiming that it isn't happening, and if it is nobody would believe them. He is either being willfully blind to what is going on with his platform with disinformation, or he knows and simply doesn't care.
The responses to his reply show that his own statement is false. Hundreds of verified followers responded that they do, in fact, believe that the weather is being controlled - they only seemed to differ on which government agencies were doing it and what their motives were. These were some of the replies to Musk's post saying that "nobody believes" the Deep State is manipulating the weather:
Do you think any of them has ever taken a science course?
IF the weather was being controlled, Mar a Lago would have been obliterated a long time ago.
