Reading through his recent tweets, I’m pretty sure he thinks he’s being facetious. But like most people on the far right, he doesn’t understand how satire works. At all.
This is a really long video, but for those who think Tim Pool can’t possibly be so dumb as to have not realized where the money was coming from, I present evidence of Pool’s stupidity.

I don’t doubt your estimate of his understanding; but he’s arguably laboring under the additional burden of being such weak material.
The best conditions for humor to be incisive are when there’s a target that has more internal structure than it’s aware of. It doesn’t need to be well-formed internal structure(indeed, the humor usually works better, or at least more readily, if it’s internally contradictory, hypocritical, or turns out to be either monstrous or nonsensical on closer inspection); but there needs to be something for the keener observer(or the speaker themselves taking a moment for self-awareness) to tease out.
If you are just bad at satire you are in the position of an amateur attempting an illuminating pathological dissection with shaky hands and a blunt penknife. If you are bad to satire you’re a dish of jello: you could throw Andreas Vesalius at the problem and there would be no cuts that expose anything that wasn’t already visible and already dull.

Do you suppose his fans care one iota that he’s been a shill for Putin?

They probably think it’s smart of him to score some cash that way.

This is exactly what I was thinking of making the case that no, he really is that dumb.
