Please read again. I'm not arguing its truth, I'm arguing its credibility. Those are not the same thing.
How would it work? I'm not even remotely an expert on it, but one of the things I heard they did with Trump, was to present several options, some obviously good, others obviously, bad, and then let him choose. (On that particular issue, Trump apparently picked the bad option that nobody expected him to pick. So there's a level where this trick stops working.)

what part of being offered choices and picking one would convince someone they came up with it themselves? That doesn't even make sense.
Arguing credibility vs truth for something you have no evidence for is a fine hair to split that actually makes no difference. You're inventing it whole cloth either way, you can pick whichever word makes you happier and it doesn't give you any insight or make repeating baseless defamation suddenly credible.

this person never had any access to elon and is repeating things he heard. His example is:
>The funniest example of “stage management” I can remember is this dude on the IT security team. He had a script running in a terminal on one of his monitors that would output random garbage, Matrix-style, so that it always looked like he was doing Important Computer Things to anyone who walked by his desk. Second funniest was all the people I saw playing WoW at their desks after ~5pm, who did it in the office just to give the appearance that they were working late.
If you're buying this you'll buy anything, just not if elon is selling it you because you don't like him.
