Fake Bakhmut’s encirclement is good, Elon Musk commented on Twitter

Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that Elon Musk tweeted that Bakhmut was “almost surrounded and it’s good”. It is not true.

The fact-checkers of the VoxCheck project drew attention to the case, and determined that the comment “and it’s good” was about a different thread, and not about Bakhmut. As the fact-checkers explain, Elon Musk wrote the comment “It’s good” in response to one of the users, and this can be seen from the screenshots distributed by propagandists. Through searching, they found exactly this answer. It has nothing to do with Bakhmut, because Musk's comment is in the thread about mattresses that can regulate the temperature.
