Musk here isn’t simply being stupid.

He’s purposely defining Nazism down. The claim that there weren’t Nazis until, in effect, 1939, is ridiculous—but it is an attempt to stop people from correctly calling out elements of Nazism today as long as or until there’s not an actual world war or genocide.
Elon Musk says that as long as you aren't "committing genocide and starting wars" you are "not a Nazi"

Putin, not Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, remains the main obstacle to a lasting peace agreement on Ukraine. Zelensky has continuously reiterated his commitment to obtaining a just and lasting peace in Ukraine through negotiations. (1/3)

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Excellent meeting with @melaniejoly.bsky.social today.

The EU-Canada partnership is strong, dynamic, and built to last.

Together, we discussed ways to boost our support to Ukraine, increase pressure on Russia, as well as opportunities to strengthen our security and defence cooperation.

The richest man in the world with access to your tax records—what could go wrong? To start, how about misuse of your private information, targeting critics, rigging things for himself, and destroying trust in the IRS. This is illegal and dangerous.

Elon Musk wants the financial information of every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

This isn’t complicated: An unelected billionaire shouldn’t have access to your private IRS records.
