Hinkle has falsely claimed that Olena Zelenska (Ukraine’s First Lady) purchased a $4.5M Bugatti Tourbillon using US taxpayer money. After that was disproven and receiving a community note on his original post, Hinkle deleted it. No such purchase occurred. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/03/instagram-posts/ukraine-president-first-lady-didnt-purchase-4-mill/ https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-new-fakes-on-zelenskyys-purported-wealth/a-69552392 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c72ver6172do.amp https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bugatti-tourbillon-sales-invoice-to-ukrainian-first-lady-turns-out-to-be-fake-obviously-236387.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/no-zelensky-wife-did-not-175804362.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2024/07/02/social-media-posts-claim-zelenskys-wife-spent-millions-on-bugatti-sportscar/ https://driving.ca/auto-news/entertainment/zelensky-wife-bugatti-tourbillon-fake-news-russian-propaganda

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1808653460381806632

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
