No he did not make up his claim. The parent is just using his own brain, while you’re just blindly following your leader

Well I asked him to provide any evidence at all to back up why his brain came to conclusion that it did. In the absence of any evidence, the natural conclusion is that he just made it up.

I did not make a claim; I asked a simple question: is the Twitter outage a result of a cyberattack or is it due to a technical failure?

I asked this question for a few reasons:

- Elon Musk is an inveterate liar.

- things often fail at his companies (see the most recent space x launch).

- he is a known tyrant of a boss, so his employees are unlikely to disagree with him publicly.

- he has demonstrated at the so-called doge that he will move fast and break things.

- he often looks to blame others when things go wrong. For example, just this weekend he said that 5 people (who just happen to be Jewish) are funding the Tesla Takedown movement, denying that it could be an organic movement.

These are just a few of the reasons that I’m questioning Musk. I assume everything he says is a lie until I get evidence to the contrary.

good rule of thumb is - when you hear/read something musk says, immediately assume the exact opposite is true and work from there. he is no longer capable of telling the truth even if it is to his own benefit :)

I want to make one correction here: of the 5 people Musk claimed are funding anti-Tesla protests, only 3 of them are Jewish. The other two are dead.

I sincerely regret this error.
