Confused...they’re convicts, right? Insurrectionists? No particular singing chops? A choir only when they had nothing else to do? And they’re going to the Kennedy Center? This isn’t Kid Rock performing at an Inaugural Ball, this’d be like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog tap-dancing at Carter’s funeral.

If you want to read the book apparently all the New York Times tech reporters are talking about today—by way of asking, “Seth Abramson wrote a book?” and “What's Google?” and “Can I learn about what books authors wrote using the Google?”—it’s below. (Odd how many NYT employees hate NYT bestsellers.)

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

Neither Musk nor Trump care whether what they say is true. They don't care about rooting out fraud or saving taxpayer money. The administration is just “flooding the zone,” knowing that the people cannot keep up.

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

When you consider that the men who orchestrated the gutting of reproductive rights knew it’d kill untold numbers of women and nevertheless worked really really really hard to make sure those rights were taken away and those women killed, I’d say they should definitely be seen as having a body count

The level of derangement, my God. He's going to blow up his already fake/broken "factchecking" scam because he's angry that he's being called out for his Kremlin disinformation. Don't be surprised if Community Notes goes away altogether. Musk has no intention of being factchecked on his platform.

Not sure what the issue is with him but in the last few years he has gone from inarticulate to incoherent. Drugs are one possible explanation, or insomnia from stress, or who knows. But he looks and sounds terrible, and it is just impossible not to feel that there is something deeply wrong with him.

Remember when I said Elon Musk was losing his mind and people attacked me for it after media picked it up? As a Musk biographer I feel fine about my statement because I have published links to all the reporting substantiating my contention. This new video can certainly be tossed on top of all that.

Why is any U.S. media outlet pretending there have been sufficient savings associated with this Musk debacle—or even any confirmed _net_ savings at all—such that every American can be given $5,000? This is clearly a desperate attempt by Musk and Trump to simply _pay_ people to stop criticizing them.
