A billionaire is in hot water after using his massive social media following to spread the claim that Joe Biden has a major brain-impairing disorder.
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, who was previously verbally "curb stomped" by Biden's granddaughter, posted the following to more than a million of his followers on X, formerly known as Twitter:
"I just spoke to one of the most respected doctors in the world. He says that it is eminently apparent that [President] Biden has lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s and/or Alzheimer’s and that his decline will not be linear."

Ackman then added, "It will accelerate."
The post comes after a debate that made many people question whether Biden was up to the job of beating Donald Trump.
Social media observers didn't take well to the assertion put forth without evidence.
@Colin_ByTheLake asked, "Is this the same doctor who told Ackman to invest in Valeant?"
@beenth3rebefor3 wrote, "Eminently apparent Ackman and the shy nameless doctor are profoundly unprofessional."
"Diagnosing an illness ( and/or ffs?!?) and opining on further progress by watching TV- you know why you don't give a name, Ackman," the user then added. "A respected doctor would lose all reputation this way."
@JillaneKent mimicked Ackman's assertion: "I just spoke to one of the most respected doctors in the world. He said that it is eminently apparent that Bill Ackman's cognitive function has been destroyed by rampant, untreated syphilis and too many hours in the ZeroHedge comment section."
@AkaLazarus called the action by Ackman "irresponsible and inflammatory."
"The doctor Ackman spoke with has not examined President Biden and would never give a diagnosis without a thorough work up. If such a Dx of Trump was proffered by a layperson, imagine the reaction," the user wrote Sunday.
