Rumors Goes Viral On Twitter, Explained!
The allegations first surfaced on Monday when a Twitter user posted screenshots of a tweet that included foul language and a fake news story that claimed Elon Musk’s father paid the college $125,000 to downplay allegations of animal abuse.
The CEO of Twitter allegedly committed lewd behavior on the cat while he was a college student, according to the news report that was purportedly published by The Independent. It is clear that the entire thing was concocted to troll Twitter CEO Elon Musk and the rest of Twitter because there is no story from The Independent with that headline. The false article’s images were created to look like they were taken from the British online daily The Independent.
According to the piece, which was apparently written on November 4th, 2022 by Graeme Massie, Elon Musk’s father paid the institution $125,000 to ignore charges of animal mistreatment. According to the false story, the Tesla founder committed lewd behavior on a cat owned by a classmate while under the influence of cocaine. It went on to say that the cat needed to be operated on, and that Musk’s father covered the cost as part of the $125,000 settlement. Reportedly, the cat died soon after following an infection.
