Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Musk has been given more power over the federal government than any other private individual since the founding. This is the world that the Supreme Court’s campaign-finance deregulation efforts have created.
Elon Musk Is Demolishing the Rationale for Citizens United
The Supreme Court said in 2010 that the decision wouldn’t damage Americans’ faith in democracy. Whoops.

If nothing in the signal group chat was classified, than neither are the Venezuelan flight times (which i can track myself using the tail numbers that appear in propaganda videos shared on social media by trump and Rubio.)

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.
There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

Horrifying: After the contract tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was terminated, the underlying evidence of these potential war crimes seems to be missing, a bipartisan group of Reps just charged in letter to Rubio. Two GOPers signed.

A clear-eyed letter from Columbia historians. “The situation we encounter today is fundamentally different from these earlier campus conflicts. Authoritarian regimes always seek to gain control over independent academic institutions. That is what we see unfolding now.”
![March 20, 2025.
To President Katrina Armstrong and the Board of Trustees,
As faculty members of the Department of History at Columbia University, we recognize in the recent actions of the Trump Administration a desire to assert political control over the university.
Like many other American campuses, Columbia University has seen struggles over academic freedom and the right to protest in the past, including the dismissal of faculty during World War I that led to the resignation of historian Charles Beard; the 1936 expulsion of a student, Robert Burke, after his role leading anti-Nazi protests on campus; the 1968 building occupations; and the campus demonstrations over apartheid and ethnic studies in the 1980s and 1990s.
The situation we encounter today is fundamentally different from these earlier campus conflicts.
Authoritarian regimes always seek to gain control over independent academic institutions. That is what we see unfolding now. We call on scholars, students, administrators, and staff here at Columbia and around the world to reject such efforts to dominate colleges and universities. Such interventions jeopardize our ability to think honestly about the past, the present, and the future, and to do so with our students, who deserve every opportunity to learn and to think for themselves. Should this control be realized, here or elsewhere, it would make any real historical scholarship, teaching, and intellectual community impossible.

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk?
The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?
