In 1974 an antisemitic, Christian Nationalist Congressman from Arizona insisted that he be allowed to inspect the gold in Fort Knox after hearing testimony from Peter Beter, an author who believed world events were controlled by the Rockefeller family, the "Bolshevik–Zionist axis" & the Kremlin.

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud "With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

I am always fascinated by this line of argument that is repeatedly summoned by the right and right-aligned. The idea is that the rich are so beyond money that they are able to be the only true altruists among us, that they are are beyond desire or need. A tacit belief that to be rich is to be divine

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

I spent some time reading Elon’s tweets this morning (one of my least favorite activities) and it’s hard to overstate how much he and his allies have constructed an alternate reality for their audience to believe in. In their world, Elon is a superhero fighting government fraud, like fanfiction
