Some lesser known facts about the #USElection2024 that hardly anyone seems to know, and which are being wilfully suppressed, not least by Elon Musk.
"Half the people in America" did NOT vote for Trump. In fact, only 32.4% of eligible voters and just 17% of all men in America voted for Trump.

Elon Musk is amplifying conspiracy theories about immigrants from an account called “WallStreetApes” that has half a million followers. AFAICT this guy’s name has never been published, but it took me literally 30 seconds to find his email address and LinkedIn.

Elon Musk's latest announcement is the final push I needed to join Bluesky: allowing blocked @X accounts to read anyone's posts is dangerously irresponsible.
