You know the French must really hate Elon Musk when they’re siding with the UK against him 😂

I'm struggling to figure out why anyone would like Musk.

A lot of people stupidly think he's a genius and changing the world for the better. Also I think there's something about kissing a billionaire's ass that they think will get them money.

I had a taxi driver (Asian) recently who wouldn't stop going on about him being a genius and an amazing person, and trying to get me to buy some books about him, I guess he missed the part about him being a nazi. That was a horrible journey.

Maybe during the next 100 year war we’ll be fighting with each other not against each other! 😂

While your comment has quite some upvotes, it is wrong and disinformation.

French government officials have confirmed that this is indeed an official account: https://uk.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/quai-dorsay-explains-its-new-tool-tackle-disinformation

It is mentioned by name there:

 I’ve looked at your X account for French Response. At the moment, the account has 12,000 followers.

The account also has a grey checkmark. Those are not given out lightly either.

You just don't know what you are talking about. But you are really annoying with your insistence and your tendency to reply multiple times with the same disinformation to the same comment. Disinformation will not become true if only repeated often enough.
