Is q-anon Elon Musk? What? I'm just asking questions.

What happened to that shit? I hate how something like that can emerge, take hold, push people into conspiracies and the right, literally destroy families, then go away and nobody cares

furthermore, it's reinterpreted as a false flag or something that never really happened - there is never accountability

ContraPoints did an excellent video on conspiracy theories recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI

You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It's fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don't doubt for a second that Elon didn't try to co-opt it at some point.

He would certainly take credit for it.

That would be interesting. I wonder if anyone's done stylometry on those posts
