Lmao, reminds me of this Chinese phrase “此地無銀三百兩” (There are no 300 taels of silver buried here)
It is said to come from a story about a man named Zhang San (張三). According to the story, he buried 300 taels of silver in the ground with the banner “There are no 300 taels of silver (buried) here” so that no one would steal them. But his neighbor Wang Er (王二) saw through the lie and dug up the money, leaving the banner “Your neighbour Wang Er did not steal (the silver)”.
Fun fact: Saying “花桥” in Cantonese in front of English speakers sounds like: faa kiu… so close to: fuck… you… 🤭. Teachers didn’t allow curse words in class, so me and my Cantonese-American classmates would use to say “Flower Bridge” in place of “Fuck You”. Sorry for being off-topic, random memories just popped up from childhood.

In English it’s “Thou doth protest too much”, as in, no one asked you to defend yourself and its suspicious that you did
That’s a great parable though, I’m going to end up telling it to my kids someday
Not sure it applies to Elon though since like millions of people are wondering if hes high or not.
Burn to end all burns, baby!
