Thank you for this comprehensive summary! It does seem like Tony’s been all over the place, literally and figuratively, but I think the below quote from the October 8 update to the Omnipedia article is key:
Either Tony deliberately masked his actions with countermoves to sow confusion for those watching him, or he really isn’t all that bright but somehow stumbled his way into getting a message across. I know I’m looking around with greater scrutiny than I was before!
I do believe Tony was replaced by an AI-generated copy on or after October 7, but he did manage to sneak in one last hurrah on October 8 to point the finger at Roshan De Silva.
