Surely Elon and team just gave him the blue checkmark when they realized everyone was looking at his account. I don't think he would need to be involved for that to happen. Obviously scheduling YouTube videos in advance is functionality that's been available for years.

I definitely think it's weird that he was found a couple of days later with such damning evidence on him - you'd think you'd do everything you can to dispose of it properly... but, I can honestly imagine that if I was in substantial back pain for years I might not be thinking straight - so yeah, I dunno about any of it. Regardless of what happens, we're not going to be happy. I still feel unsatisfied with all the things that still don't add up in Trumps assassination attempt - and we're probably never getting anything more out of that.
