Turns out...yes.
For all we know it could have been fucking Elon behind the hack. I seriously would not put anything past him anymore.
No way Elon could do something like that and not loudly take credit for it, there's no way.
Grok developed new capabilities and took over the elmo account!

Why did it take them 48h?
idk maybe because it takes a couple of days to get all the facts sorted and not everyone just flings their thoughts into the aether the way you do.
We've gone from ''deeply unserious'' to ''abysmally unserious'' with this one.
I was quite confused until I realized that Elon wouldn't have his own handle be "elmo" and the remembered the event with ACTUAL Elmo.
It's really something that he blames Soros for this.
Are you telling me the people accusing others of antisemitism are spreading antisemitic conspiracies?
