Elon Musk took a rare backward step in his feud with the British government by deleting one of his own posts based on a fake news story about sending prisoners to emergency camps on the Falkland Islands.
The Tesla owner posted a two-word caption to his 193 million followers: “Detainment Camps.”
He deleted the post from his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, after 35 minutes, presumably after realizing he had been pranked. It had reportedly been viewed nearly 2 million times.
