Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The moment in the cabinet meeting where RFK Jr, acting as the actual head of HHS was asked to respond to a deadly measles outbreak caused by vaccine refusal was one of those out-of-body, waking nightmare moments of the Trump era.

This is an essential point: rule of law under constitutional government is the essential foundation of any kind of market economy. The idea that you can build smaller government and free markets on a chaotic, corrupt dictatorship is a fantasy ignorant of the last several centuries of human history.

Once again, just like with Musk and Twitter, these fucking idiots don't understand what was already happening, rip it down, and then try to rebuild the same thing, but way dumber, because they can't understand nuance and complexity.

Republicans voted to take away your healthcare and food assistance so they can give tax breaks to the billionaires who poured millions of dollars into their election campaigns. They don’t care about you because they’re paid to answer to them. It’s not complicated.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

I went from a chatbot, to a broken link, to a phone call with AI, to a conversation with an actual human being this morning, and that human being fixed my problem within 15 seconds. It took me 40 minutes to get to that 15 seconds. Don’t call this “customer-centric”. Just don’t.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Urge people to listen to this to help see how Trump has no mandate and is more vulnerable by the day if Dems can shake their slumber and organize the anti-authoritarian majority.

If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

This is a good reminder that anytime you try to find some kind of 4D chess reason for what Musk does, the reality is much likelier that he is a complete idiot who has no idea how the world works, yet he is powerful and rich and wields near complete loyalty from others so he gets what he wants.
