On Tuesday, billionaire Elon Musk told his 175 million followers on X that President Biden had committed "treason" by "secretly" flying "320,000 illegal immigrants" from Latin America to US airports. It is quite a dramatic claim. The only problem is that nearly everything Musk said is a lie.
As we have seen so many times in the current environment, the lie will travel around the world three times before truth leaves the starting gate. We shall see when Fox News picks up this story and the ginning up of the MAGA base begins. As as a side note, Trump's meeting with Musk today - seeking some financial help to "take care of a few things?"
The Right always say they have nothing against immigrants who enter the Country legally. This exposes the lie. They are anti immigrant and anti people of color. Period.
This one individual owns the majority of our satellites and is a dangerous security risk. I can’t believe he was able to tweet that vicious lie and there is no pushback for it, let alone a visit from the NSA or Secret Service. He is the traitor here
Thank you Judd and Tesnim for jumping on the slanderous reports from more billionaires promoting their wealth and whiteness. I responded to the first of these tweets when reading what Elon had to say on his X with Collin Rugg as his news source last evening. What a relief to see that Popular Information has come through with detailed facts and full clarification!
Will our DOJ bring a suit against Musk and Rugg for serious slander and defamation? Elon should pay for his abuse of his financial power...when it harms our govrnment and our election.
I've given up on Elon Musk being a good faith actor a long time ago. The cited article putting "asylum seekers" in quotes so as to cast aspersions on the legitimacy of the very concept is propagandist in its own right, though. It's a human right to seek asylum...or at least it *should* be.
So this is the next Republican gambit, after failing to smear Biden with corruption (Smirnov being a Russian agent sure didn't look good), inflation (Inflation Reduction Act did its job, and US is sitting pretty at 3.1% inflation now), the border (snuffed out by the fact Republicans ran away from a border bill they wanted)...so now it is "the migrants are being air lifted into vote for Biden!". Given all the projection Republicans like to do, we should check into what they are doing to try and airlift in foreigners to vote for Trump.
Border complaints have no validity as border bill was torpedoed. Do we think Trump gets money from Musk for ‘campaign’ or for fines and penalties or both? Is Musk a ‘cut-out’ for the Saudis? After all, didn’t Saudis help Musk by Twitter? Interesting.
Because I have no time for X, I don't pay attention to this little man with far too much money. IF there was ever a problem boy it is Elon. The worst thing that happened to Elon is his money.
Judd: I appreciate your effort to disseminate true information. But here lies the problem: Multiple times, every single day, MAGA says something that is either an outright lie, or is out of context or contains one truth among what is said. These are pushed to RW social media sites, reported on talk radio, distributed by bots, both foreign and domestic, repeated on cable news. Millions get this faulty information nearly immediately, every single day. The truth may be reported by a few columnists and perhaps an article in a newspaper. But there is no web to disseminate the truth. No set of radio programs, no newspapers, no social network that comes close to matching the MAGA chain.
Maybe the people who believe this would vote for someone like Trump or his ilk anyway. But it has an effect on the country as a whole . And the more it is repeated, the more the lie seems real. And it’s destroying this country.
Musk is collecting a significant amount of our taxpayer dollars. That needs to stop and the sooner the better. Biden needs to go Teddy Roosevelt on this guy.
As a bombastic, petulant and arrogantly rich turd, musk also controls Starlink - the satellite network that provides much of our internet service. Chilling to think our military forces rely on a system owned by this emotionally volatile jerk.
Thanks, Judd. Last week, Musk did something that might be valuable in his suit against Open AI for abandoning its mission of being non-profit and benefiting humanity, and now today goes wildly in the opposite direction of supporting unfounded racist conspiracy theories. This is someone who appears to lack any sort of critical self-awareness.

Elon Musk deserves much more public retribution than he is currently receiving. As always, thank you for exposing the rot.
The Right always say they have nothing against immigrants who enter the Country legally. This exposes the lie. They are anti immigrant and anti people of color. Period.
I'm seriously concerned about the mental state of Elon Musk lately. The guy doesn't seem to have all his nuts and bolts screwed down properly.

Everyone and anyone that's still on Xitter should share this story there, and everywhere. There needs to be a MASSIVE effort, now.
Thank you for facts.
