I'm surprised at the discussion about if Elmo knew what he was doing.
The obvious thing is that he'd prepared it - the slightly different angles were all planned to give (im)plausible deniability.

This young girl is from a brave family my dear friend Andrea has been helping in Gaza for ages, through heartbreak and fear, and the organiser of the appeal is a friend of my beloved extra daughter Scarlett. If you're in a position to be able to contribute, I'd be very grateful.

It looks to me as though it's now a fairly straightforward choice between UBI or fascism.
Fairly clear which side the billionaires who would have to fund UBI have chosen.
