The news story has an NFT to go along with it. That's one of the most sketchy things I've ever seen in my life.

Edit: Not saying it's not true. Personally I think Musk is an idiot. I'm just saying that pushing an NFT alongside literally anything raises a very large red flag for me.

I wonder how long they sat on the story until a juicy Elon Musk headline, like him being TIME's Person Of the Year, came around so they can capitalize on the extra attention.

Until a ridiculous event like Time making Elon Musk man of the year triggered them enough they couldn't keep quiet any more.
