Elon Musk's first ex-wife (who is a novelist) wrote this harrowing account of his insane behavior back in 2010. Sadly, way too many people ignored it. www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a53...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

“It should tell the US to take a hike.” Voila.

Hoppas att alla i Sverige och i Europa fÜrstür var vi befinner oss nu. Det är inte bara Ryssland som hotar med krig och politisk inflytande utan även USA som direkt angriper vüra samhällsmodeller och ekonomiska välstünd. Dagarna dü det var en partner vi skulle vifta med fingrarna üt är fÜrbi.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath. To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.

SCOOP: Ashley St Clair sues Elon Musk for custody of new son. Musk is pictured with his latest baby in a lawsuit filed by St Clair, seeking sole custody and paternity. www.usermag.co/p/scoop-ashl...

A new Western coalition is forming outside NATO and the EU to grapple with the implications of Trump’s upending of the global order. I hope it forms into something more concrete and combative.

Yup. This is what it’s all about. The Broligarchs are mad that people want to regulate them, so they’re taking over the governments.

In Italy, the state-run postal service Poste Italiane is not just the largest mobile virtual network operator in the country, but just bought a stake in Telecom Italia. Imagine if we unleashed and empowered Canada Post to do something similar in Canada.

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

I loved seeing the photos of so many people protesting in front of Tesla dealerships, so it was a pleasure to have @alexwinter.com on the show to talk more about how they came to be and where it’s all going. The opposition to Trump and Musk is growing.

The thing about bullies is, they won't relent. You give into them once for a bout of peace; but what'll you give up? Above all, no one can guarantee they won't keep returning to shake you down some more. The only proper course of action is a resolute rejection, while striving for self-sufficiency.

yeah let's put starlink into our community instead of building locally controlled infrastructure what could possibly go wrong

GFY Vance

If you turn on a VPN and set it to Europe, it’s amazing how much more tech companies are required to alert you to your privacy rights. It’s like night and day. So this isn’t surprising and very gross. We are getting totally abused and many people don’t even know. Make sure to follow @parismarx.com

Having a few European Union grunts in my group chats (old grad school buddies)— they’re gonna tell us to piss off. And sending this bozo, we fully deserve it.

Europe should tell Peter Thiel's sweatiest blood boy to go to hell. if Musk has his way with the FAA, that could even happen on the flight home!

Automakers tend to charge thousands of dollars for driver assistance tech in their vehicles. Now BYD is starting to include it as a standard feature, making it much harder for competitors to justify charging an extra cost.

"If they attempt to work (in AI) with China instead, they will be “chaining your nation to an authoritarian master that seeks to infiltrate, dig in, & seize your information infrastructure” — (…) exactly what the US has already done to them.” 👌🏻 @parismarx.com www.disconnect.blog/p/jd-vance-c...

I have no doubt Europe will tell this adolescent wannabe to go back to papa.

Not content with trying to kill the moon mission, Elon Musk now wants to push the International Space Station out of the sky years early too. As people who understand space policy know, those changes would hinder, not help, his supposed goal of getting to Mars.

"The European Union needs to defend its sovereignty and end its dependence on US tech monopolis"

"Instead of trying to placate a Trump administration that seems determined to subjugate the United States’ traditional allies, Europe needs to aggressively strike back." Dit @parismarx.com, et c'est très vrai. www.disconnect.blog/p/jd-vance-c...

Who is Peter Thiel's good boy?

The thread in part makes Starmer & Labour's approach all the more odious, given that they're pretty much half there already.

Very interesting and informative. If things don’t change under these conditions it’s hard to see them ever changing. Yet there are deeply entrenched habits within so much of this. Including those of a general kind of bureaucratic suave befuddlement.

For all its tech regulations that make the US look like a backwater, Europe sure doesn't seem to have noticed that American tech companies are now an invading army in control of its critical infrastructure.

i’m sure we can get those enemy numbers into plurality territory

After a long and exhaustive search, Amazon has found its new James Bond.

“No kings, only trains” (Earlier today, at Union Station in Los Angeles, where Transportation Sec Duffy was doing a press conference on high speed rail…)

😎

Grimes has now deleted her posts pleading for Elon Musk to answer her messages about a "medical crisis" that could lead to "life long impairment" for one of their children.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Elon Musk and his minions don’t have a clue how government works, but they think they’re qualified to remake it anyway. I was really happy to have @makenakelly.bsky.social on the show to make sense of everything that’s happened in recent weeks.

It’s official: the Trump administration wants to kill California’s high-speed rail project, and there’s little question Elon Musk pushed them in that direction. @awalkerinla.bsky.social breaks down today’s announcement and the opposition that tried to drown it out.

Saving you a click: they aren't trained to hunt fossil fuel company CEOs

don’t forget that having everyone drive is much more profitable than having everyone walk, bike, or take transit
