  I'm about as far from a Musk fan as it is possible to be, but this is so clearly a joke that it take a real effort to read some kind of evil intent into it (beyond Musk's normal "I'm trolling on Twitter" annoying nature). But I've seen people claim this before - I'm curious if there is a source this keeps coming from?

    The line between insincere/sarcastic trolling and genuine sincerity has been blurred by people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, who seem to freely dabble in both and sometimes use the former to excuse the later. I think understandably, some people have grown fed up with this and have decided to treat all tweets from these men as sincere tweets, to deny these men the use of 'I was just joking' to walk-back sincere remarks.

      I agree with this treatment of the "joking... not joking" style of trolling. I think this individual tweet is the sole evidence cited for Musk's supposed support, and that seems a long bow to draw from it (an equally sinciere reading would be that it is Musk's take on the history of coups in South America),
