This is the smoking gun that Musk has no understanding of what he's looking at. A competent engineer would look at these numbers, recognize that they don't match payments, and shut up until they figure out the bigger picture that can explain everything they see. Instead, he raced to tweet it. This is just dumb.

Agree. Some professional auditors on Reddit were saying how often they go into a business and find a bunch of stuff that immediately looks like fraud, then they go interview knowledgeable employees and find a ton of weird accounting edge cases which explains all the out-of-bounds stuff. But.. it sounds much better to the population if you scream that you found $8Tn a year in fraud.

Oh, do not for one second think that this behavior isn't intentional. Elon knows it is BS. But that's not the point, the point is to create outrage, and legitimize it all to the MAGA crowd. It is all intentional misleading.

  I love how these people are absolutely prone to even basic "common sense". You need to blame someone for your misery. One of the oldest tricks. We are still just unga bunga tribal apes some of us smarter that the other but it's still not enough.

    You need to look at how the republicans on X are discussing this: https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1886647920566636637 https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1886647920566636637 They are basically inundating that base with tech content that only lifelong developers would be able to parse. It’s a serious propaganda effort. I’m sad right now dude.

      What is the point of this? To hide information for audience which in majority does not understand what these data and graphs means but they are going to assume it's meaning is what they wish to see there? So they can basically prove their points with data hidden by literal obfuscation lol. I'm not so much sad as amazed slash disgusted. This is antivax thinking pattern.
