Elon Musk broke his silence Sunday on the massive "Hands Off!" protests Saturday, dismissing them as orchestrated political theater by unseen elites manipulating clueless, possibly paid demonstrators.
That’s the thing I don’t get from Fox News and other conservative outlets.
Who is paying these protestors? Why is this never a follow-up question? Why isn’t anyone from Fox or any other “journalistic” org investigating this? Or at least pretending to?
Let’s assume that these protestors are paid. The most conservative estimate of the number of protestors is 2 million. Let’s halve that because, you know, conservatives want to downplay this whole thing.
Assuming everyone was there for no more than two hours, and assuming minimum wage, we’re talking $7,250,000 for everyone. Let’s assume half were paid and half “followed along”.
$3,625,000 just for paying the protestors. Ignoring web site domains, salaries for organizers, etc.
Let’s call it an even $3 mill.
Who the fuck is paying that?! This isn’t chump change. This is “journalism 101 follow the money trail” kind of money.
I mean, I know, and you know, why they aren’t investigating. They just need a boogyman.
But damn even the most cursory look at this excuse falls apart.

Because they know it’s bullshit. It’s not journalism. It’s state media propaganda. It all makes more sense when you’re not expecting them to be journalists, much less, investigative journalists.
Who are the puppet masters, Elon? Some shadowy cabal of oligarchs with even more money than you? Are they in the room with us right now?
I’m sure they pay those protesters quite well 🙄

I wouldn’t call it state media, it’s just corporate corruption.
Probably Russians using bots on Twitter… oh, wait.
🤣
Soros!!!
Don’t forget “Globalists” and whatever else they’re calling Jews these days.
Who took over from Jim Henson?
