Ahhh. Finally we begin to see some fraying in Dic Tater's relationship with Swastiman.

Best laid plans gan aft agley per the famous poet. Well musk's plans gan agley but no one can say they're were best laid. musk's big plan was basically to make big money gaming the system and then use that money to game it some more. Much like trump he used his inheritance, white male privilege and ample lying and cheating skills to take advantage of what ever opportunity presented itself. But also like trump, he's an incompetent, insecure, disgusting, narcissistic POS who can only run businesses into the ground. And so the opportunities appear to be drying up.

Here is one more thought bouncing around in my head today: What confuses me is the entire administration's attack on Vets & active Soldiers. Doesn't he want an army to strong arm his lies and take over? He's loosing them left and right. No women in the army? No funding for proper housing? And Vets he's letting just die?...My dear friend is a doctor here at the VA hospital. He was given orders yesterday to list all of Harvard's support in his research and to remove any DEI hires... what a travesty ... I guess on the bright side dump & muck , I hope , are loosing support

SUPERB reporting! Thank you so much for your hard work. Re the orange sadist being upset about Leon's attendance at the Pentagon meeting? "Too little, too late, buster."

Not only is Musk causing trouble in the US, but he is causing trouble in other countries. I am trying to watch Webinars regularly from a group that looks at politics in Europe called Europe Calling. They recently had a webinar in which 2 researchers talked about the attempt of X and TikTok on the German election. I see X as representing Musk, and the US, and TikTok as representing China. I wrote an article about each of the researcher's work. There were some interesting things about X which we see directly trying to influence the German elections.

One thing I learned is that Elon Musk is followed by a lot of Bot accounts. I would love to know how many of his millions of followers are real.

Elon Musk is not only destroying the US, he is trying to destroy other countries, such as Germany by using his platform to promote the far right Nazi party AfD.

In response, many Germans are disgusted with his foreign influence, and see him as a bad guy, and that is affecting whether or not they will buy Teslas.

Even further, governments are looking at how he is violating the EU Digital Services Act and discussing whether he should get a fine for his violation of the DSA and perhaps even for 6% of his net worth.

Many German and other EU users are leaving X, including governments.
