Are Those Discrete Retweets?

1. Fascinating that this Elon Musk tweet, falsely claiming the Qanon Shaman was sentenced for a "police-escorted tour," has 61,000 RETWEETS and no @CommunityNotes pic.twitter.com/jZElvDLPI5

Because I grew up in a small town with a population about that size. And most of the world never considered that town to be all that important, or as having much sway in even state politics.

It still doesn’t.

And oddly enough the courts don’t even notice what Elmo and 61,000 (?) people on an international platform have to say. That’s like being impressed by a politician who writes a “bestseller” but never even gets the party’s nomination.

I mean, this is not even interesting. Twitter is not reality. Video is not reality. The court record Chansley plead guilty to is that those police “escorting” him were telling him to leave the building. That’s reality.

What a bunch of people on Twitter think is irrelevant.
