Wiki page for it I think Kasparov has distanced himself from it but I've never seen him fully deny it, though nobody calls him on it. If you've heard of the 'Tartaria' or 'mud flood' theory I think they share the same conspiracy roots Mia Mulder video on Tartaria
On the creator of the theory:
He also claims that Jesus lived in the 12th century A.D. and was crucified on Joshua's Hill; that the Trojan War and the Crusades were the same historical event; and that Genghis Khan and the Mongols were actually Russians, that the lands west of the Thirteen Colonies that now constitute the American West and Middle West were a far eastern part of "Siberian-American Empire" prior to its disintegration in 1775, and many other claims that contradict conventional historiography.

I used to have an fairly nasal voice with bonus autistic monotone, when needed I would switch on more emoting, facial expressions, and then add higher voice for friendly, lower voice for formal as needed. Then I drank for a decade, and now I'm too tired and sober to mask anymore so I just have a monotone whiskey gravel at all times and everyone thinks I'm meaner than I am
I would love it if the CEO announced a release date and the board removed them because the company's revenue is entirely based on never releasing the game
One of my favourite rabbitholes is the amount of supernatural stuff the US looked for during the cold war. I'm sure most of it is just corruption and burning cash but there's a handful of true believers who would go, 'There's no way anyone would give away the state secrets of our beautiful freedom land, so the Soviets must have telepaths and astral projection'
he faced no consequences so they're not losses to him
