Hmmmmm....   How can I put this without disappointing you........

There is no Santa Clause and Google is just a search engine. 

Unless you see a source that is reputable / official with news about RDO, take it with a large grain of salt.  If RDO was online, there would be news from R* and other, well known, trustworthy news sources.

UPDATE:  Here's the news from Rockstar Intel who got it from (oddly enough) Variety magazine .  I didn't find this on R* Newswire though.  TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT UNTIL WE CAN VALIDATE:

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have finally announced the release date for the initial beta period of Red Dead Online over 4 weeks after the game's release.

You'll be able to jump in to Online and join your cowboy buddies on November 27, 2018! Finally!

Variety reported on this first.

"The beta for the online portion of “Red Dead Redemption 2” goes live in waves this week with those who purchased the Ultimate version of the game gaining access Tuesday, anyone who played in the first few days of the game’s launch gaining access Wednesday and Thursday and everyone else by Friday.
The beta, which is free for those who own the game, is designed to be the beginning of “Red Dead Online,” meaning that it won’t run for a limited time and that developers hope to allow players to keep their progress in the game."
“Red Dead Online” will feature an open world that is home to all of the animals of the single-player game. It will include support for hunting, fishing, treasuring hunting, posses, camps and a variety of competitive modes. While the game won’t have the complex, threaded single-player storyline of “Red Dead Redemption 2,” it will feature a sort of narrative tied to cooperative play for the online game’s posses.

It is going live tomorrow! I think a lot of people were jumping the gun and thinking it was already live. I got a text from my friend a little while ago telling me to check if it was up yet.

Just to clarify.....  It's not going live for most people tomorrow.  It is a staged release.....

There was some article last week talking about achievements/trophies in online were progressing for some people to like 1% or 0.1%, dont remember exactly (a bug from making the achievements/trophies live, maybe), which some people were taking as people playing already (not saying it didn't happen, may have been some alpha testers playing online, stress testing the servers or something).  But ya, the beta starts rolling out tomorrow, as people have said above.

It was actually 0.01% and likely attributed to playtesters.
