A passenger gets off a flight because he puts on underwear instead of a mask (TWITTER)
American technology entrepreneur and philanthropist Steve Kirsch, who was previously accused of spreading false information about the corona vaccines, received a flood of derisive responses on Twitter, after he published a smug and condescending post on his account about an incident that allegedly happened to him on a plane.
Kirsch, who is also the founder of an anti-vaccine group called the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, shared an experience he said he had with a female passenger sitting next to him.
Unlike him - she wore a mask during the flight.
"I am currently on a Delta flight," he wrote in his tweet.
"The person sitting next to me in first class refused to accept $100,000 from me to remove her mask for the entire flight," he wrote alongside a selfie of himself from the plane.
"She works for a pharmaceutical company."
The money that will forget the brainwashing?
Later, Kirsch details how he offered the woman the money and why he did it.
He started with an offer of only $100, then began to climb to higher amounts.
He later pointed out to the passenger that in any case she takes off her mask as soon as she eats and drinks on the plane, so she is exposed to the virus.
This tweet is a follow-up to his previous tweet from last week, in which he announced that he would offer $10,000 to other passengers on the plane if they removed their masks for the entire flight.
He added that the passengers rejected his offer, so he wonders whether increasing the amount of money offered will be able to deal with what he calls "brainwashing".
The Huffpost website points out that while Kirsch may see himself as a seeker of the truth and as someone who is only trying to help people find their way in a confusing world, other Twitter users had other ideas about his motives.
Many of the commenters simply stated that first and foremost, he should stop bothering other passengers, and leave them to their own devices.

"I would take my socks off"
Here is a collection of some of the more prominent responses to Kish's tweet: One commenter noted, "Besides your mistake regarding the effectiveness of masks (because we don't know what kind of mask the passenger next to you is wearing), I think of people who just want to enjoy their flight in peace, without being bothered by my Those who think of themselves as 'having critical thinking'".
"The thing is, this clown thought that if he also uploaded his selfie, his proposal would look less creepy," added another.
Another commenter wrote: "Maybe she refused because you look like a scary 'douche' who bothers her and makes her feel threatened? You probably didn't write that."
"Personally, I like to watch movies on the plane or flip through magazines. When I talk to another passenger it's when one of us needs to go to the bathroom. A conversation that's 'sorry' and 'thank you'. Things like that" she responded differently.
"If some old guy on the plane offers me money to take off the mask,
Another commenter pointed an arrow at the photo of the passenger taken by Kirsch, who looks very unhappy with the situation, and wrote: "This lady speaks for everyone who reads this tweet."
Another added: "If this guy did that to me, I'd knock my socks off on a flight."
And there were also those who saw this as an idea to make quick money: "I would arrive at the airport with a mask and ask for $100,000 from all the middle-aged bald men wearing glasses."
