EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk’s Reign of Corruption Chronicled in Elizabeth Warren’s Report A new report itemizes 130 dodgy dealings by the man who calls himself the “Dogefather.”

It's all funny until people start dying. And they will. The work of government is largely invisible until we suffer the harms they help prevent - or need the help they provide in a crisis.

And American citizens will not have access to top-quality medical care and guidance because of Musk's cuts.

I wrote about the 23-year-old crypto bro with effectively no relevant work experience, who @alondra.bsky.social revealed is sitting in meetings, not paying attention, and then giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether they can get their NSF grants...

Wait. The guy who spent years falsely claiming that the Biden administration tried to censor him because they... responded to his dumb declaration about letting everyone get Covid for herd immunity doesn't know how things actually work? Shocking.

Elon Musk, who ordered federal workers into the office, has been attending Tesla meetings remotely, the Times reports www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/b...

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

"Hey boss, I am worried people are going to figure out pretty quick that our scam program is a scam." "On it."

It is amazing how flaccid the Republicans, especially House Republicans, are in the face of polls like this.

lol

Same with CDC, other health agencies

Happy Pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈

good read on the futile stupidity of Starship, or as I call it the Space Cybertruck www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/starship-d...

Russia doesn’t allow foreign journalists to enter the occupied territories of Ukraine. Three Ukrainians in different Moscow-controlled cities spoke to me secretly “to let the world know what we face”. We changed their names for safety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pretty pathetic that Elon told us there were 20 million fraudsters collecting Social Security, yet he and hiss "super-high IQ" DOGE boys couldn't nab a SINGLE one.

Elon Musk denies a NYT story claiming he regularly uses drugs: “To be clear, I’m NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off. I tried prescription ketamine a few years ago and said so on 𝕏…It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.” Musk tweeted

Delta Air Lines is taking delivery of an Airbus A330-900neo (N435DX). The delivery flight is from Toulouse to Tokyo in order to avoid US tariffs on new aircraft. www.flightradar24.com/DAL9950/3a92...

The number was bullshit, but somehow Musk was able to seriously cripple medical research and programs that keep doctors up to date. Worst of both worlds.

JUST IN: 9th circuit rejects Trump admin bid to lift the court order that blocked mass RIFs and agency reorganization. Trump violated the separation of powers and usurped congressional authority with hte large-scale reorg, the split 2-1 panel rules. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Here's the NIH's proposed budget - from $48 billion to $27 billion. NIAID, current ~$7 billion cut to ~$4.2 billion. The proposed 15% cap on indirect costs remains. Again, these budgets are passed, and our leadership in science, technology, and innovation is gone. www.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers. econofact.org/steel-tariff...

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation, at least not without devoting the bulk of his fortune to easing the misery he’s engendered."

Vote Republican! You're going to die anyway!

Wow. Seems like that's a pretty good opposition ad soundbite.

one of the worst people in human history. a Pol Pot level of monster www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

If a vaccine is not on the approved childhood or adult vaccination schedule, Medicaid and Medicare will not cover it, and private insurance is not likely to cover it either. This means families with children and pregnant women who want to get a COVID-19 vaccine will have to pay out of pocket for it.

Robyn Denholm, Chairwoman of Tesla, responded to questions about the CEO's rampant drug use with a no comment and and a sale of another $250 mil worth of her personal shares.

Incredible work by the photo editor here

<STANDING OVATION>

Fellas is it bad the President of the United States is firmly ensconced in an alternate reality?

I'm convinced Karp is behind a lot of what is going on. He's smart enough to push Musk out into the spotlight but Karp is the one pulling the strings.

Did he bring non-prescription drugs into the White House? Did he use them in front of the president? Before cabinet meetings? Before canceling Congressionally authorized payments? Just some questions some people might want to have in mind during future press conferences/hearings!

The campaign was like 10 Months ago, it was one of the most covered stories in human history. The fact that we’re only getting this story now can only be because of the wilful ignorance of access journalism

As the Trump administration slashes the federal workforce, experts say cuts to the USDA, FDA and CDC have left the food supply vulnerable to outbreaks of foodborne illness.

Goddammit I knew I shouldn’t have offshored that factory this morning

🚨Everything Trump has said about the Qatar plane is a LIE. Amazing story in the Post. - Qatar did NOT offer it, Trump requested it - Qatar expected a sale, not a “gift” - US Air Force says it’s in poor condition - $1.5 billion to make it useable - $500 million ADDITIONAL cost for Trump to keep it.
