Elon Musk's election-doubting posts are shared 9 times more than his less extreme election content
Data compiled by the NBC News Decision Desk shows that Musk’s election conspiracy theories and doubts have vastly outperformed his other posts about the election.
Summary
Elon Musk’s posts on X questioning election integrity and promoting conspiracy theories garner significantly more engagement than his other election-related content, with NBC News reporting 5.2 times more likes and 9.1 times more reposts.
Despite fact-checkers debunking many of Musk’s claims, such as alleged noncitizen voting, his posts casting doubt on the process reach millions.
Musk, a prominent Trump supporter, has donated over $118 million to a pro-Trump PAC and leverages his platform’s far-right tilt, drawing concern as election-related misinformation prompts heightened security measures for election officials nationwide.
Interestingly, I'd say I give a shit about Tesla and SpaceX about 9 times less
I think by this point the only people really caring what this dumb fuck has to say are people with same low IQ.
And Russian troll farms
Unfortunately there's a decent number of people that meet this criteria

(There are a lot of dumb people, don’t get me wrong, but on twitter, most the people spouting his nonsense are bots.)
Yeah, my first thought was 'who are they being shared to?' Because it's probably just the MAGA faithful. And they're going to believe it's a hoax if Trump loses anyway.
Aren’t 9 out of 10, X posts, bot’s on X?
This kind of shilling has to be considered a massive, unreported campaign contribution. Come on.
Edit: a word, for clarity
If you bang on about the election process not working and then win the election you have totally delegitimised yourself before you've even begun.
No because see if they lose it's because woke goblins are living in the ballot boxes and eating all the trump votes but if they win it's because they voted so hard the goblins couldn't eat them all. It's just basic goblinomics
