Some billionaire has got to be putting up money through front organizations to keep this ridiculous flat-earth bullshit going. Otherwise, it would have burned itself out long ago. It's being deliberately hyped, and that takes money. This is a propaganda campaign, a psy-op if you will, designed to undermine the view of reality of Americans. If they can make you doubt that the Earth is a ball in space, they can make you doubt just about every truth you hold dear.
