A week ago, the network was filled with screenshots of Twitte Tesla, in which Musk sent a Ukrainian parliament with three letters. We checked whether the American billionaire made such a gesture.
In early October 2022, there were reports that Elon Musk allegedly wrote the phrase “yes you all went on ***” (“F ** k you all”) in response to a commentary on the official English -language account of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which stated that Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk were part of Ukraine. The evidence of the billionaire’s words was the screenshot of Twita, according to which Musk published his reform on October 5.
The news was most widespread in social networks. For example, in the public "Bad News" on VKontakte post about tweet a mask published on October 6, received 254,000 views, 1050 likes and 700 reposts. There are other communities where the records have collected tens of thousands of views and hundreds of likes (here, here And here). Distributed a screenshot on Twitter (here, here And here), as well as in Russian -speaking media, among which "Federal News Agency", St. Petersburg edition"Constantinople" And other sites. Moreover, it is sometimes noted that the mask is no longer there: it allegedly deleted it either himself or the moderators of the platform. In Telegram, not only large channels told about the proposed tweet of the mask (here, here And here), but also the official channel of the TV presenter Ruslan Ostashkowhich the channel later reproached Vladimir Solovyov (True, both soon removed their posts, but archival copies remained). The earliest publication that we found, appeared In the Telegram channel "Rokot Z" on October 5 at 18:55 Moscow time.
On October 3, in his Twitter, Musk made several statements mixedly accepted by the audience about the conditions under which the Russian-Ukrainian peace treaty should be concluded. For example, he Offered Conduct new referendums in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, as well as in self -proclaimed LPR and the DPR under the supervision of the UN, since In his opinionThe recent referendums were dubious. At the same time, Musk believes that Crimea should be Russian. According to the survey by the Twitter conducted on Twitter, a little more than 59% of the voted do not agree with his ideas (he mentioned Bots attack). After some time, the billionaire arranged a new survey in which wrote: “Then let's try this: residents of Donbass and Crimea, of their own will, should decide whether they will be part of Russia or Ukraine.” This time, a little less than 60% of the voted chose the answer “yes”. Official Twitter account of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine left Under this vote, the following comment: “Crimea is Ukraine. Donetsk is Ukraine. Lugansk is Ukraine. ” Thus, on the above screenshot, two of the three shown tweets are precisely real.
Now as for the swearing phrase the mask. According to numerous publications, her billionaire allegedly left only a couple of days later, because his Ukrainians "Filled out of themselves"And brought"Before white heat". But, as already mentioned, at the moment of such a record on the page of the founder of SpaceX No. About the absence of this message on October 5 They said Even in the official accounts “RT in Russian”, calling the picture a fake. The refutation also appeared in the Solovyov channel, where reputed an entry in which the picture is also They called it They immediately found the guilty fake: “[This] Ukrainian cyps is sent out of the proposals, so that we then do to distribute fakes and blame us. For less than a minute, it takes to open Twitter and make sure that Musk did not write this. ” However, in many publications (in the same "Constantinople") It was said that the tweet has already been deleted, respectively, now it should not be on the billionaire page.
But to make sure that such a tweet did not really exist, it is possible on other signs. Firstly, in absolutely all posts we have found and publications in the media and other sites the same screenshot appears. On Twitter at the time of October 5, the mask, according to official data from the platform, It was about 108 million subscribers, and his message to the Rada allegedly gained almost 6,000 likes. Given these numbers, it is unlikely that no one took a different screenshot if there really was a tweet. But we could not find another picture of the screen.
Secondly, not in any publication we found there was a link to an allegedly remote tweet of a mask. The situation in which it is not possible to find such a link anywhere also seems unlikely. Respectively, find a saved copy of the post in the Google cache or web archive Also It did not work out.
Thirdly, in any relatively authoritative Russian -speaking And even more so English -speaking The media did not write about the tweet of the mask. This once again seems unlikely, since there are previously many authoritative resources reported About how Ukrainian diplomat Andrei Melnik on October 3 in the same Twitter obscenities Sent Mask itself.
And finally, fourthly, according to the distributed screenshop, users left the mask 172 under the obscene tweet, but their does not give out Search by platform. In the expanded search for Twitter, we put up such filters to find all the tweets written by the mask with the mention of the Verkhovna Rada account from October 4 to 6, but nothing was found. Such a result of issuing can be for several main reasons: either there have never been those 172 reforms, either all users deleted their answers, or all the accounts of those users are hidden, or part of the messages are deleted, and the remaining part was sent by hidden accounts. The first case seems most likely.
Thus, all the above arguments allow us to conclude that Musk did not write a phrase that interests us, and the viral screenshot is really a fake.

Fake
- Did Elon Musk spoke about LGBT and the left agenda, which “make Netflix uncleaned,” and “Greenwater Fricke with a Ban button”?
