Elon and Russian propaganda

[solarbird]

Today’s been another absolute zoo of a day, so here’s a little comic I saw going around on Mastodon.

What you need to know is that 1) Tenet Media turns out to have been – “allegedly” – a Russian-funded propaganda outlet, paying far-right commentators like Tim Pool hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread their disinformation, and 2) Elon Musk has been one of the biggest, if not the single biggest, booster of Tenet Media stories on eX-twitter.

X, what was once twitter, is an op.

59 days remain.

odd sidenote.

===Something odd on Dreamwidth....I no longer see this in my reading feed here. I went to your DW, I can see it. Go to my reading view...no sign.

===Wanted to be sure you knew that something weird happened.

Fuck, that's my bad.

I saved it, realised I had an extra hyphen, and edited it to remove. When I do that, I have to go edit it again directly on Dreamwidth to put it back in reading pages, because edits via wordpress take out out of the reading page.

I've fixed it, thanks for the notice.

===Ah! That is good to know.

Quite glad to be of service.

It's hard to say whether the elongated muskrat is merely a useful idiot or an active agent.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day; the results are the same, but one does wonder.

Of the Russians in particular? Maybe, maybe not, but as you say it doesn't matter. Of the global far-right? He's an active, explicit participant.
