But how can you know that? Couldn’t there be actual insider sources truthfully reporting the existence of such discussions?
Yes, I perhaps should have said “I think there is a 99% chance this is made up”. As a general rule, I think any politically charged story based on “anonymous insider sources” should be considered very low credibility, and if there is no other support, then a 90+ chance of being made up is about right. More credibility points lost in this case for the only source being a tweet from a guy who seems to be advertising some kind of passport acquisition service.
There can simultaneously be an crisis of immigration of poor people and a crisis of emigration of rich people.
The tweet’s screenshot doesn’t seem to be talking about rich people in particular being the ones leaving (which I think is usually termed “capital flight”; that is, the money leaving is more important than the people).
