Are DOGE and Elon Musk really planning to send $1M checks to Trump supporters?
A TOPIC GAINING TRACTION ON GOOGLE IS AN ARTICLE CLAIMING THAT ELON MUSK AND THE DOGE TEAM ARE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE STIMULUS CHECKS OF $1 MILLION TO SELECT AMERICANS. JUST TO CLEAR THINGS UP, THIS ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN. WESH 2 NEWS REPORTER MICHELLE MEREDITH ADVISES NOT TO START MAKING PLANS FOR THAT MONEY JUST YET. THIS ALL BEGAN WHEN A FINANCIAL FIRM ATTEMPTED TO BOOST TRAFFIC TO THEIR WEBSITE BY POSTING A RIDICULOUS APRIL FOOL’S JOKE. THE ARTICLE STATES THAT ELON MUSK AND DOGE INTEND TO GIVE OUT A $1 MILLION STIMULUS CHECK. AND YES, IT WORKED, AS IT’S CURRENTLY TRENDING ON GOOGLE. THE FAKE STORY EVEN SAYS THAT ONLY REPUBLICANS WILL RECEIVE THIS CHECK. SORRY, DEMOCRATS, NO CHECKS FOR YOU. THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES A FICTIONAL PRESS CONFERENCE WHERE ELON MUSK IS STANDING ON THE BACK OF A CYBERTRUCK ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN, PRETTY FAMILIAR, ANNOUNCING THEY’VE SAVED THE GOVERNMENT SO MUCH MONEY, THEY’RE GIVING IT BACK TO THEIR SUPPORTERS. ACCORDING TO THIS HOAX, SENATOR TED CRUZ IS SO THRILLED ABOUT HIS MILLION THAT HE’S ALREADY ON THE HUNT FOR A SECOND PRIVATE JET. THE CLAIMS FROM THE PRANKSTERS SUGGEST THAT REGISTERED REPUBLICANS WOULD NOT RECEIVE REAL U.S. CURRENCY BUT INSTEAD A MIX OF DOGECOIN AND TAX CREDITS. TO BE CLEAR, NO ONE IS ACTUALLY GETTING A $1 MILLION STIMULUS CHECK, AND THIS ARTICLE CONCLUDES WITH APR.
