If that is true then Musk & Twitter 100% knew about it before disclosing location to other users.

Musk is both stupid enough and narcissitic enough to have legitimately thought his charm and personality were making MAGA flock to him on his own personal "I need my ego stroked" site. It's quite possible it never even occured to him that none of it was real.

That's a good point.

Musk, Trump and other narcissist like them always look genuinely confused when a crowd boos them.

Only if they cared enough to analyse the data though

No way in hell. Musk was probably like "let's show location guys, think of how much more noticing we could do tehe!"

And then he got results that triggered him, so he had them turn it off

I don't think Elmo has an ego small enough to independently even consider the idea that his sycophants might be largely fake.
