"Elon's account acts as a megaphone to bring attention to what's happening.
Individuals are then analyzing the information and making a judgement on its legitimacy.
Elon's posts going viral are not a function of Elon - it's a function of how many people are upset with the Government.
The difference now is that the public has a feedback mechanism to understand what's happening and voice their displeasure.
It is, in fact, We The People, and Congress has long forgotten this fact.
Career Politicians have belittled the public for far too long."
And using your brilliant point, if Elon is the president because he's telling people the truth, who did they think was the president before Elon? The Media? Answer: Basically yes because the media would tell them all they needed to hear about their "president." Hello 1984.
