The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now.
Publicly. Daily.
The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.
Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”
REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

Gotta agree with Larry.
This is a fine defense of AG Garland, my former student and long-time friend — the best defense possible — but it’s unconvincing even to me and sadly leaves me persuaded that history will not judge this smart, decent, well-intentioned man kindly.

No, Merrick Garland Did Not Let Donald Trump Skate
Within days of becoming attorney general, he assembled his deputies and told them to turn over every Trump rock. Blame a lumbering system—and an electorate that didn’t care.

Professor Tribe is spot on as usual.
“There's a rich (and ongoing) debate over the relationship between public criticism of the courts and judicial independence. Chief Justice Roberts's annual missive missed just about all of the nuance.” It was pathetically bad in every respect.

Mike Johnson claimed yesterday that he was reading a prayer written by Thomas Jefferson.
Except it wasn't.
Historians who are familiar with it say it’s not accurate to attribute it to Jefferson or to suggest he recited it daily.
Clown. Show.
