Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.

Lol, right, 3 million paid protestors at over 1000 protests. Must be Soros again.
/s obviously
If they were paid $100 each, that's 300 million dollars. Your think that would be super easy to track. It would only take one person to leak the received payment.
Stupid people believe stupid things.
I doubt Elon really believes that. He's just trying to convince the gullible Magats, and I bet it's working to some extent.
IIRC, one of the critical things that caused the Sandy Hook families to get such a high payout from the Alex Jones/Infowars suit was the tearful testimony of one of the Sandy Hook victims, who was injured in the shooting, explaining to the jury that their own father accused them of lying and being a “crisis actor” because of Infowars bullshit conspiracy misinformation.
So yeah, it works. Shockingly well, even in situations where people have every reason to know better.
