People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Nah, that's not how it works. People believe it because they can pay people to repeat their lies, and their success buys them a seat in main-stream media interviews where they can broadcast their bullshit to millions of people. And in Musk's case, he can just buy a social media company and force it to boost his excreta.
Dude, Epstein himself was about to release an "interview" where he's this approachable cool guy and he's just eccentric. I bet you it would have worked if released as planned.
Yes there are bot accounts pushing narratives but that doesn't stop people from going "whoa everyone must be wrong about him"
My point is that people don't believe it just because he's rich. People believe it because it's made to sound believable, and repeated from every angle by many outlets. It's not really about bots but rather a complicit media.
I don't disagree with your statements
