The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

So many good questions about Dom Lucre and his acquisition of CSAM that Stuart Thompson of the legendary investigative journalism outlet the New York Times simply couldn’t be bothered to ask.

This is a recurring thing where the second a former appointee says something mildly critical, Trump goes on a tear about how incompetent & traitorous they are. It never seems to occur to him that he’s announcing he’s unfit for his job.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

FBI Director Kash Patel was in the middle of a two-hour interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Thursday when Elon Musk boldly claimed that President Trump’s presence in the Jeffrey Epstein files is why Attorney General Pam Bondi has yet to release them in full: #ElonQ $TSLAQ

This is really interesting and I had no idea. Also speaks to the perverse incentives that the 10y budget window CBO scoring process creates. It creates a huge tilt towards Congress instructing the eating of the seed corn.

people have raised extremely serious problems with his story (namely, that Lucre watermarked the worst CSAM on earth and was clearly lying about how he acquired it) and the response is to be snarky about the bluesky pileon what is going on in the newsroom there

Aside from posting CSAM on Twitter and getting away with it after personal intervention from Musk, Dom Lucre is one of the QAnon clowns who accuses Tom Hanks of being a devil worshiping baby eating pedophile and here he is getting the red carpet treatment from the New York Times

If I understand this correctly, this would also eviscerate the credit-buying program that makes up Tesla's profit margin.

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?

This is spot on, and it’s not just his ability to freely criticize the president that he owes to the bureaucratic arm of liberal democracy, it’s the very success of his companies — the companies that earn contracts and get subsidies, that were not dependent on a specific administration, until now.

This could be the most "log off, bro" tweet in the history of tweets, which is quite an accomplishment when you consider all of the wild stuff that's been posted there. (see the thread for other candidates 😬)

The "influencer" is infamous for posting extremely violent child porn on Twitter, though was personally reinstated by Musk and later invited to the White House. Shameful for NYT to give him any framing other than "why isn't this felon in jail".

If this ever happens, it will be due to Martin Eberhard, Tesla's founding CEO and inventor of core tech in Tesla EVs, raising the issue in his lawsuit after Musk ousted him from the co. iirc @plainsite.org made those legal records available + @washingtonpost.com did outstanding in-depth reporting.
