It’s interesting to see Elon-supporting replies from what looks like fake or bot accounts flooding his posts. They’re blindly repeating his claim that he has done more to fight for the release of Epstein’s files than anyone else. And any replies calling out Elon with evidence from the DOJ seem to be getting deleted.

I've seen those years ago, long before this Epstein business emerged. While I believe Musk does have a substantial legitimate fanbase, I've seen YouTube channels which are full of dozens of bot-type sycophantic comments about him. Some of them seem to think he is the most brilliant man who ever lived. Personally I think he is a very rich man who can pay others to do his R&D while he takes the credit for it.

> Personally I think he is a very rich man who can pay others to do his R&D while he takes the credit for it.

I previously did not think this and gave him the benefit of the doubt. But it became more obvious to me that he constantly lies and takes credit when he started pretending like he was a great parent. There is simply no way you can be running several companies at once. And on top of that being a father to over 10 children from several different mothers living all over the place?

What’s especially crazy is even on this topic, you see the sycophantic comments thing. My guess is that he pays people to run social media bot campaigns or that he simply makes employees at Twitter do this.

Someone tried to get Grok to explain Musk's odd denial and it too was cagey, repeatedly returning to what he claimed despite it being contradicted in the released emails. Presumably he's tampered with it again.
