The propaganda operation, dubbed 'Doppelganger,' involved spreading memes, deepfaked videos, and falsified documents online to alienate the West from Ukraine and its leadership following Russia's 2022 invasion.
According to leaked documents obtained by a number of European media outlets, the meme - alongside a number of other posts that were not shared by Musk - was put together by none other than the Social Design Agency.
The incident highlights just how ubiquitous disinformation and propaganda have become on Musk's social media platform, actively contributing to the trend himself.
It's far from the first time we've seen Musk actively sharing disinformation on X; earlier this year, he shared a video that purported to show 'armed communist Maduro gangs'.
