I appreciate that the entire story is summarized right in the link. I’ll get around to reading it after I catch up on Ancient Aliens.

The original article link has a similar title:

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/charlie-kirk-was-never-shot-bullet-murdered-exploding-pen-mic-iranian-hacker-claims-1790165

IB Times UK is probably more credible than ancient aliens though.

Oh, that wasn’t a criticism of you. I just thought it was funny. Plus, the whole “exploding pen mic” sounds like a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Yeah, not sure why the article calls it that, as it's a lapel mic. "Exploding pen mic" does make it sound nuttier.
