This is what I expected to do. Can easily fake the numbers.

What I did not expect was its cinema release. You can’t fake ticket sales

    Sure you can. Musk bought a bunch of cyber trucks and abandoned them. It would be WAY easier to buy a shit ton of movie tickets, never use them, and there’s no evidence to get rid of after.

    Not when one person goes and says it was empty.

    Which makes me wonder if this was part of the strategy. Like a kind of reverse-Streisand? Once it hits streaming more people might watch it out of spite or see if it's "really that bad."
