So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

This. Exactly this.
In just 130 days, Elon...
-Secured even more contracts
-Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations
-Gutted agencies that regulate his business
-Installed loyalists throughout the government
Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

I’ve finally read the transcript of Steve Witkoff’s long interview with Tucker Carlson about Gaza and Ukraine, which he’s supposedly negotiating on. It’s embarrassing — very little awareness of the complexities, and shockingly ignorant of detail. Carlson knows even less and can’t challenge him.

How Harry and Watson forced NGN to admit wrongdoing
Why the circumstances show it was NGN wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants—that brought this case to its end
