Are you asking if I think Elon had this person's website on an 80" screen in a conference room whilst they collude how to send traffic to their site?

No, I do not.

I get thousands of these "security scanner" requests on a low-traffic site weekly, if not daily. Not a day goes by where someone doesn't try to kick in my door. Are you prepared to waste valuable time in your life to separate the white hat from the black hat requests?

I would have added the IP addresses to my firewall's IP blacklist and forgotten about it the next day. It's really all you can do.

i cannot fathom how you could possibly arrive at this reading of the gp's comment, what are you talking about
