It definitely makes sense, you control the narrative online, and dumb people gobble it up and regurgitate your propaganda. Even bigger tinfoil hat theory is that it's a part of why he bought Twitter. They were going to weed out bot accounts n he probably flipped out n thought he could buy his way out of that problem. No actual evidence, but wouldn't be surprised in the least.
