…the obvious flaw that said investigations would clearly conclude the posts were doctored?
The metadata of posts include too many data points (IP address, GPS coords, etc.) needing precise alteration in line with the exact movements of a victim that it would just be too complex to achieve a desirable outcome for Musk.
