It is not 5d chess, nor it is making excuses for him. It is a matter of critical thinking and evidence based research

I do not count reporting based on anonymous sources as evidence of anything, Elon never said, and no official at Twitter ever said the price as going to be $20, so I have no evidence to believe outside of Rumor from sources that have been showed to be negatively biased on the subject and widely inaccurate on the subject, so why should I trust their $20 figure?

I trust traditional news sources less than I do the government today, for which I would trust a Cartel bass more than the government.

Except that he did. In the tweet before he said it would be $8. If you discard the tweets where he said it would be $20 and then $8 - then yes your statement holds. But we shouldn't, because those are the tweets where he said those things.

I am sure you have an archived source for that statement then, because I never saw anything other than news reports claiming that was the price
