While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

As Le Point and Le Monde have both reported, Epstein was running a major project out of his luxurious apartment in Paris' 16th arrondissement to advance the interests of Marine Le Pen and her Pétainiste party, which appears to have been coordinated on several levels with the Kremlin. Here's Bannon.

Who knows where this is coming from, but this is as likely as anything
Here’s the thing, the other major bridge crossing of the Detroit River, the Ambassador Bridge, is privately owned and the owner has not been a happy camper that the Gordie Howe Bridge will be cutting into his profit margin.
He probably slipped Drumpft a few million to rant about it.

Again, this would be the funniest shit ever if he and his co-conspirators weren’t busy fucking everything over
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.
