Comment on Shooting conspiracies trend on X as Musk endorses Trump

i think this is maybe a case of the conversation has moved quickly over the course of two days, and we are talking about different things. It is true, this article is about speculation from tweeters, and we don’t know much about those tweeters from this article, but it does sound like leftist posts from Saturday and Sunday. I think I was commenting from a place of the knowledge we have as of today, which didn’t really apply to what I was replying to. It is true that The Verge’s reporting was maybe irresponsible here
