I wonder who is spreading this nonsense.

Conspiracy theorists have wildly claimed that a brick company owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is in cahoots with Bill Gates and antifa to arm protesters with bricks.

Unverified claims of Acme Brick deliberately planting bricks at protest sites have spread across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.

Fox News and the White House have linked the bricks to antifa and "professional anarchists." Acme Brick said on its website that it "has not done, and will not do, anything to intentionally promote violence."
