This "story" is currently being circulated on FaceBook. Needless to say, it's all a pack of god damn lies.
Like all such MAGA sucker bait, it's littered with all sorts of shiny garbage: unattributed quotes. leaks, whistleblowers, assertions of nonexistent evidence, and whispers of dark and terrible conspiracies lurking out there in the dark:
a bombshell discovery...
Elon Musk reportedly accessed an archived administrative interface...
...agitators hired to infiltrate and disrupt peaceful demonstrations.
The “No Kings” protests, organized by a coalition of anti-authoritarian grassroots group...organizers now say the movement is being hijacked.
According to leaked messages and whistleblower testimony...
...anonymous donors and shadowy intermediaries...
Security experts and movement leaders are sounding the alarm...
...said one protest coordinator, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons. “They want to frame Trump for the fallout, create a martyr, and fracture the movement from within.”
...a deeper question emerges: who benefits from destabilizing a democratic protest, and how far will they go to rewrite the narrative?
And even though it depends entirely on assertions of sleuthing by Elon Musk sheathed in a wad of computer doubletalk, there is no sign anywhere of any of it. Not even on Elmo's own fascist shithole, where he has never shown any compunction about trafficking in all kinds of ridiculous lies.
It was concocted by a wannabe Joe McCarthy allegedly named "Jonathan Gregory" who bills himself as "Digital Content Creator for the Trump Administration" and "@newsmax"?
The reason I'm posting this is because it is one of those events, like the birth of a star, that one rarely catches in its infancy. We usually hear about the lies MAGA tells only after they've matured a little. Gained a large enough following among the Garbage People to be elevated to the status of NewsMax or Fox News fodder.
But in this case, as Seaman Jones says in The Hunt For Red October, I'd say we hit a boomer coming out of the barn. Because as of this writing, this bullshit exists in only two places where Google goes to look for things.
However, even though, as of this writing, this pack of lies has only been gestating for about eight hours, it has already found its way through the veins and capillaries of the Conservative media ecosystem and on to my local area social media, where it is being taken as gospel by area MAGA goofs.
Which is reason #87,454 why we here on the side of the angels really must stop deluding ourselves int believing that MAGA filth can be reasoned with, or in any way dealt with as sentient adult humans.

I used to work with this young guy who told me of some pre-MAGA BS story. I tracked it down on Google and showed him it been concocted by a RW troll. He told me "Yes, but I want to believe it."
