Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon's sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.

That doesn't even make sense unless he's locked her up in a basement cage.

Otherwise she'd come out saying it's not her.

If it is a sock puppet then she's agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it's not a 'version' of her.

Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn't notice or care. I don't have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn't notice, and if I did, probably wouldn't care enough to correct the record publicly.

But if you pretended to be your parents saying it on the open internet? That's pretty different

If I pretended to be my parents, my parents literally wouldn't notice, nor would they probably care too much if they did.

wouldn't notice,

Are you checks noted one of the richest people in the world stirring up shit where it's almost certainly likely someone would tell them?

nor would they probably care too much if they did.

Then they accept it and are complicit.

Then they accept it and are complicit.

Strong disagree there.

And no, I'm not extremely rich or famous, but even if I was, I wouldn't expect my parents to step in if I started doing stupid stuff, unless that crossed into slander or libel or something.
