🧐 Context on Elon Musk funding Brad Schimel to ensure a GOP majority in Wisconsin Supreme Court race

Great bold plans from @govevers.wisconsin.gov! He wants Wisconsin to be the first state in America to audit insurance companies for denying healthcare claims. The American people are tired of getting ripped off by their health insurance companies, and it’s great to have a governor who listens.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Musk is spewing a firehose of lies on x, so I didn't pay a lot of attention when he started claiming people 150 years old are receiving Social Security. Now I see what that knucklehead is talking about! COBOL is an old biz language - the kids he has working for him are not familiar with it.
