Musk, New Master Of Disinfo.
Elon Musk is using his social media network to spread election conspiracy theories about U.S. disasters — just as online falsehoods are complicating the federal response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Musk has helped spread accusations that the Federal Emergency Management Agency “actively blocked” donations to victims of Helene and is “seizing goods … and locking them away to state they are their own” — allegations that FEMA officials call false and which run afoul of state and local Republican leaders’ praise for the assistance from Washington. ‘Politico’
Disinformation is the name of the game when it comes to the hearts and minds of the general public. Certain prominent figures in America know that if they repeat a lie often enough and with enough gusto the body politic will eventually believe it to be 100% true. After all, so and so is saying and saying with such confidence the opposite cannot be true or he or she would be be saying it over and over again. This continues to happen and is amplified a million fold by social media to the point its hard to decipher was was originally true and if it is still true. Welcome to modern day World politics.
