He’s 100% going on reputation damage control because he was so poisonous that Tesla shares collapsed and the banks came knocking because he stupidly used his shares as collateral to buy Twitter.

He achieved his goal in government anyway now he can relax for the next 4 years.

I’m 100% convinced she deliberately says this knowing that it’s not true.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

A worry I’ve had for a long time and made me distant from party activism in the last few years is exactly this.

We are losing a lot of experience from our MSP cohort and I can’t help but notice it being replaced by a lot of people who only want to be politicians.

Trump and JD Vance accusing Zelensky of gambling with a third world war yet that’s exactly what Putin has been doing for over a decade, that’s exactly what the Soviet Union was doing during the Cold War yet not a word from then about that.

Damn I wonder why the man who spent his entire campaign demonising every single minority group wants to leave the UN Human Rights Council…

If you’re wondering wether or not Musks antics lately has affected his business… Tesla share price has dropped almost 3% in the last 5 days, 4% in the last month.

We have entered into the worlds longest period of i told you so.

In 4 years time we will have another never again moment.

“Free speech means that people without a voice can speak truth to power: it has never meant that the rich&powerful can say whatever they want,however ill informed, with impunity”

One of the best ways I’ve heard it put.

Trump-Musk fallout coming in 3…2…1…

The damage that Musk has done for diplomatic relations will hit Trump pretty hard on day 1.

This isn’t what Starmer said, I’m sure Musk watched the same clip we all did.

Not surprising that he’s retweeting an account know for Disinformation.

This is Musks world, he’s not interested in free speech. He’s interested in “Alternative Facts”.

Musks world is one in which he’s “always right”.

Shutdown X, it’s a threat to democracy and free speech
January 5, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Well in a matter of weeks Musk went from being best pals with Farage to… an enemy?

With Musks recent actions in the US, Germany and the U.K. not only has he managed to single-handedly destroyed diplomatic relations but has made sure that only our and proud Nazis side with him.

You can, only laugh

One of the major problems we have in politics right now, the reason why politics is not civilised right now is because politicians like Trump have normalised seeing political opponents as “enemies” rather than legitimate political actors within the system.

He’s going to get impeached again isn’t he?
December 23, 2024 at 1:51 PM
We all know there is going to be a messy divorce between Trump and Musk soon but not just because he’s overshadowing Trump but also because Musk is now dictating US foreign policy and diplomatic relations via tweet, particularly with countries the US really won’t want strained relations with.

I openly support an EU wide ban of X. It should be rightly recognised by governments as a platform intent on promoting extremist ideology and deliberately spreading Disinformation with the intent of sowing distrust in elections and political processes.
So, an abundance of disinformation is spread following the attack.
- Find out attacker is a supporter of the AfD
- Attackers Twitter profile is taken down.
- made available again but with pissy deleted showing his association with the AfD

What was Musk saying about the media lying?

Elon Musk is gonna single handily destroy the US diplomatic relations with every European country it seems.

Trumps been quiet lately. Somethings brewing.

Wait so like who’s running Tesla, Space X etc if their CEO is spending all this time on X and trying to run the country?
December 21, 2024 at 1:16 AM
The more Twitter (X) becomes a hot bed for far-right, neo-Nazis and spreaders of disinformation then it is only right that governments and the EU begin to treat the platform as a hostile actor that threatens international security and democratic norms and freedoms.
