A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that:
1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly
2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Do not use it to create art or writing.
Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is.

16 of Trump’s 26 day one executive orders were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
But sure, let’s believe Trump when he says “I have nothing to do with Project 2025.”

I visited the holocaust museum in high school. I'll never forget it. I couldn't sleep that night. It still haunts me. I don't understand someone who goes to auschwitz no less and feels nothing and only thinks about their press image. Elon's a complete sociopath.
Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
