The childish meme about Musk & the media was stolen from the account of Eva McMillan.
Eva belongs to a huge group of people who try to get Musk’s attention by blatantly sucking up to him: Musk loves humanity, his family is great, & he’s the unofficial US president.
Cringy.

She does it because it worked for many:
they suck up to musk -> get his attention -> get a boost -> get money from X.
How else does she get traffic? By spreading anti-vax, anti-Ukraine, anti-LGBT propaganda.
She shared a post Musk took from WallStreerSilver. Remember the name.

The anti-vax meme was stolen from MistycBiker. Musk saw it because it was posted as a reply to WallStreetSilver.
Besides anti-vax propaganda MistycBiker tweeted a horrible baseless fake about Ukraine, and about the tweet shown on the right, I’ll let the public decide.

MistycBiker also likes to mix his anti-vax & anti-Ukraine propaganda, for maximum engagement. He also spreads anti-LGBT propaganda (shocker), 9/11 conspiracies, and, why not – crypto BS.

The unfortunate meme against Zelensky & Ukraine was stolen from “Day Trader POS” who posted it as a reply to… WallStreetSilver. Day-trader posts anti-Ukraine & anti-vax propaganda.
But at this point you may be wondering who is WallStreetSilver, so let’s check him out:

Wall Street Silver is a profile with more than 1 million followers. He got Musk to subscribe to his profile, Musk interacted with him dozens of times, and he gets Ad revenue money from X.
A pretty sweet deal. How did he get it?

A key point is to suck-up to Musk. Only few minutes after Musk tweeted the Zelensky-meme, WallStreetSilv was already complementing him.
Another key is to tell Musk what he wants to hear, for example: the traditional Media is bad, but Musk is here to fix it!

Another key to understanding Musk’s online engagement is THE ECHO CHAMBER.
Musk follows 453 people. Many of them constantly retweet & reply to each other. They also spread the same topics, and suck up to Musk.
The image shows recent retweets of other people Musk follows.

Wall Street Silver spreads the 3 greatest propaganda hits: anti-vax, anti-LGBT & anti-Ukraine. He also shares some other conspiracies.
As to who’s the person behind the account, there're rumors & controversy about him, but it’s important to understand he’s not unique.

Musk is influenced by many such accounts. He follows dozens of them.
Another aspect is that for every word he tweets there are 100's of grifters who reply in hope to get his attention. They flatter him & encourage his wildest ideas & he falls for it every time.
We have a problem.
