I think you’ll find quite a few of us have told the truth all along. Most of you just didn’t want to hear it then because you thought the rockets and the cars were so cool.
Wife: The thing that's so disingenuous about the tech press is that they say "We have to cover Musk, he's a relevant figure in the industry" and it's like who's responsible for that in the first place? He's an idiot but you told the world he wasn't.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.
