    That is the substack/blog post I saw about it earlier, that attempts to thread the needle on how it would be possible/what they theorize is going on.

    On the one hand, it sounds plausible at first blush. And there are some very weird incestuous connections between the tech parties theoretically “involved”.

    But on the other hand: the evidence/ detail in that post still feels light to me. The fact that the writer off-handedly mentions Trump and Musk as decades long Russian operatives immediately makes me recoil based on its adjacency to Russia gate hysteria.

    Beyond that, If this were true, it would be a fairly large conspiracy with lots of moving parts—multiple companies and people working in concert over years towards a singular goal. An act that if outed, could result in treason charges and significant jail time across the board. My general sense is that the more complicated and large a conspiracy is, the less likely it is to be true, since each moving part adds to the risk of exposure, etc.

    So anyway, there are some spooky things in the timeline, and some of Trumps and Musks comments from back then have always seemed weird to me, but I’m erring on the side of this needing a lot more corroboration before I take it seriously.

      I appreciate the additional information.

      I agree, Right now it feels like this conspiracy is a whole lot of conjecture without a whole lot of substance.
