🤦🏻♀️X, the company owned by Elon #Musk, filed a lawsuit against a coalition of major advertisers, claiming that it coordinated to dissuade brands from spending money on the platform -NYT
Politico—British MPs want to grill Elon #Musk before parliament for X’s role in race riots that have rocked the U.K. last week.
“For two men obsessed with spectacle, the conversation violated the first rule of attention-seeking: It was meandering and tedious, lacking drama or friction, and #Musk’s doormat approach meant that #Trump was free to filibuster and lie without interruption—offering up the kind of non sequiturs and irrelevant information that bore even his most loyal supporters.”

Wild that the Telegram guy was arrested for pretty much the same shit Musk gets away with every fucking day he runs Twitter. 🤷♂️
“On Mon #Musk re-posted a post by acct called Autism Capital which incl screenshot of theory that referred to "people who can't defend themselves physically (women & low T men)," sugg they are "very malleable to brute force manuf consensus."
The post said only "high T alpha males & aneurotypical people" are able to ques new info.."This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think."

NYT: Starlink, the satellite-internet service controlled by Elon #Musk, reversed course and said it would comply with Brazilian government orders to block Musk’s social network X in the country. The move was the first sign of any backing down by Musk in #Brazil since he began battling with the authorities there last month.
Via Juliet Jeske “Decoding Fox News”:
#Project2025 has #Trump’s name all over it. Guess what else it has? The phrase “decertify government unions.” It’s incredibly anti-union. Trump praised Elon #Musk for busting a union. Wake up and see the fake populism. Trump does not support unions. Don’t be a Putz.

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is still flirting with the idea of not endorsing Kamala #Harris
“A Brazilian Supreme Court panel has upheld the decision of one of its justices to block billionaire Elon #Musk’s social media platform #X nationwide, according to the court’s website.
The broader support among justices deals a blow to Musk and his supporters…” #Brazil https://apnews.com/article/6942614705a4e85064f1d98628b49295
No. NOT a joke. Detestable Trumpian cop-out “JK” is BS…& potentially deadly.
“Hours after what the FBI called a 2nd attempted assassination of #Trump, Elon #Musk wrote on his social media site — and then deleted — a post suggesting it was odd that nobody had tried to kill President #Biden or Vice President Kamala #Harris.
Musk said the post on X had been intended as a joke.”
