This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don’t rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.
Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They’ll then insist they “did their own research”, which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.

The better approach is to go out and try to disapprove the things you believe. That’s how science works, and that’s what will get you to the truth.
