@jim i ain't watching all that so would someone summarize
i clicked halfway into the video and musk's dm seems to be saying "yes i paid someone to boost/farm on the account and then i played it myself" which is what everyone thought happened (& isn't a big deal but obvs he was being very deceptive about this before). is there any reason to think the dms aren't real
not counting this as "acknowledging", it's just deflection
@jim Isn't that still acknowledging that the rumors exist? It's certainly not addressing them, but you can't respond to a question without admitting its existence, even if you're deflecting. I understand why this doesn't count as addressing them, but maybe the word "acknowledging" in the description wasn't the right choice?
