It's weird to see the conservatives say on X that Rachel Maddow is crying over Elon "buying MSNBC" but it's bullshit, it's either AI or an edit of her dropping crocodile tears over child migrants in detention centers back in 2018.
DON'T. LIE. If it's parody, make it crystal clear. If you start lying, you only make yourself less trustworthy and it can be permanent damage to your credibility.
