Ashton Forbes — MH370 "Orb Teleportation" Corpus (Musk Null Edge Documented)
personMedia & Managed Opposition · Darknet & Cyber
A viral theory says a missing airliner was teleported by an 'orb' — and the claim that Elon Musk promoted it collapses the moment you check the dates.
Who they are
Ashton Forbes, an independent promoter of the MH370 'orb/teleportation' video theory, from 2023 to the present.
What they do
He claims Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was teleported away by an orb or zero-point-energy technology, and keeps pushing it across various fringe shows despite expert refutations.
How it works
The engine ran a dated search of Musk's activity from May 2024 to July 2026 to test the claim that Musk boosts Forbes: it found Musk actually said he'd seen no evidence of aliens, and the only Musk-to-Forbes contact was a single one-word 'Yup' reply to an unrelated comment — zero endorsements or reposts of the teleportation content.
Why it matters
It's a clean case of a rumor killed by the record: the theory keeps spreading because platforms reward reality-destabilizing content (engagement economics), not because any powerful person sponsors it — and the engine reports this as attributed, not adopted.
The engine's record — word for word
[Report #169] Independent promoter of the MH370 'orb/teleportation' video corpus (2023 revival → present): claims Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was displaced/teleported by orb or zero-point-energy technology. Sustained promotion documented into 2026: Blaze Media 'Pat Gray Unleashed' 28 May 2026 ('directed beam teleportation,' 'US intelligence is hiding' the truth); Health Ranger Report Mar 2025; Into The Parabnormal May 2025; The Resilient Show Sep 2025. Community Notes and aviation-expert refutations documented; the narrative cycles regardless. THE MUSK RECORD (the null edge — a live rumor killed by dates): 27 Apr 2024 UTC, Musk replied to @hodgetwins' post of the orb video (not to Forbes directly): 'I have seen no evidence of aliens. If I did, I would [100] post about it on X instantly! SpaceX has almost 6000 satellites in orbit and not once have we had to maneuver around aliens.' Exhaustive dated search May 2024 → Jul 2026 found exactly ONE Musk-to-Forbes interaction: a one-word 'Yup' reply (22 Jul 2024) to a generic non-MH370 comment ('It's only going to get crazier from here. Buckle up.'). Zero endorsements, reposts, or boosts of the teleportation content. The commissioning premise 'Musk promotes Forbes' did not survive the record. Report #169 disposition (ATTRIBUTED, not adopted): continued reach = engagement economics / platform mechanics rewarding ontologically destabilizing content, not executive sponsorship. Announcement layer = alien/zero-point interception; substrate layer = monetized wonder + algorithmic amplification (#88 split). Held; no verdict on motive; name no holder.
