    Joined by conspiracy theorist David Icke, who believes that the world’s top leaders are actually lizards, Jones and his guest both questioned whether they were actually talking to Musk based on the individual’s eerily similar speech.

    There’s… there’s a lot to unpack here. I’m truly saddened that this version of me ended up in the bizarre timeline; I wonder how my other selves are doing.

      I was looking through comments to see if anyone noticed this part. I have to believe that he doesn’t really think world leaders are actual lizards and its actually more of a performance art piece or something.

      If he’s serious about it… I just don’t know how humanity went so wrong.

        Idk dude, I read his wiki page and some of this shit is just nuts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

        This guy strikes me as one of:

        • a cult member
        • an aspiring cult leader
        • a grifter
        • someone suffering a psychotic break from reality (obligatory: I’m not a trained medical/mental health professional)
        • some combination of the above

            Well that’s a big old yikes from me dawg. I took a quick peek at those subs and I can’t say it was worth the time I spent dancing around reddit’s VPN blocker. I bet the AI company is gonna get some great data from those comments.

            Also time cube is banned so there’s that lol.

        Icke has literally been on this kick for like 30+ years. Idk if he believed himself when he got started but the dude is so far down the rabbit hole of his own bullshit he surely believes it by now.
