Wagner chief’s death in plane crash raises questions, with Elon Musk suggesting it may be a psy op. Elon Musk also flagged what he belived as an expected outcome to have taken place later than ‘expected’
Elon Musk on microblogging site ‘X’ said, “Longer than I expected. Slight chance this is a psy op” to discussion on Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death in a plane crash.
Prigozhin’s reported death in the plane crash has left many loopholes, even as the circumstances of the accident still remain unknown. Experts are of the opinion that Prigozhin’s death marks President Vladimir Putin’s vengeance for his short-lived rebellion in June.
Elon Musk’s statement seems to attest to expert opinion that Prigozhin had this coming, especially considering rebels against Russian President Vladimir Putin have not empirically enjoyed a longer life.
Elon Musk mentioned that there is a ‘slight chance this is a psy op’. A psy op stands for Psychological operations which are used to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and large foreign powers.
