evidence: A viral social media post by Jackson Hinkle, a prominent pro-Russian commentator with 2.6 million followers on X, claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife used American taxpayer money to purchase a multimillion-dollar luxury sports car. Hinkle’s claim is false: Olena Zelenska did not purchase a Bugatti. Hinckle deleted his post on Wednesday afternoon, minutes before this fact check was published, but not before it had been viewed more than 7.2 million times. [...] "BUGATTI Automobiles S.A.S. respects the privacy of its customers and does not normally disclose any information about its customers. In this case, BUGATTI Automobiles S.A.S. makes an exception because it is a false report and does not correspond to the truth," Nicole Auger, head of marketing and communications for Bugatti, told The Dispatch Fact Check in an emailed statement. "According to an internal check, Mrs. Zelenska is not a BUGATTI customer."
