He probably does there was once a reddit post that linked to the job posting for "Internet influencers" for him. I think that was about 5 years ago and if he did that then.

It definitely makes sense, you control the narrative online, and dumb people gobble it up and regurgitate your propaganda. Even bigger tinfoil hat theory is that it's a part of why he bought Twitter. They were going to weed out bot accounts n he probably flipped out n thought he could buy his way out of that problem. No actual evidence, but wouldn't be surprised in the least.
