Elon Musk infamously paid $44 billion to purchase Twitter, and on Tuesday, his pricey platform was promoting a hashtag dedicated to eviscerating him over his decision to deny the Ukraine military access to Starlink over Russian-occupied Crimea.
[Sorry beforehand if this sounds like a defense of Musk…]
I’ve recently seen a documentary about a con man who used to go to galas, photoshoots and stuff, asking if he could “just take a selfie” with popular/influential people… then use those photos as “proof” to his victims of how he had “powerful friends” and “knew the right people”.
He’s (presumedly) scammed between half and several million that way, convincing people to invest, to work for him recruiting people to invest, to hold shell companies for him, and so on.
So… “taking a selfie with Elon Musk”, could be more of a “whoever takes the selfie” thing, rather than a Musk thing.
Yeah I hate Musk but this stuff is stupid, including that photo of him “with” Ghislaine Maxwell where he isn’t posing or smiling and has his back fully turned to her. They were obviously having separate photos taken when Maxwell’s photographer shouted his name.

At this point I would tend to say the Muskrat is the one trying to improve its reputation by taking pictures with people who appear professional.
