Thank you for continuing to expose Elon Musk, a clear and present danger to any society he lives in. Regardless of his wealth and scientific knowhow, his values prevent him from being a help to mankind. Similar to Trump in his disregard for others in his need to fill his inner emptiness with falsely algorithmed affirmation. What a pity! because he really could be helpful (e.g., Starlink).
I have actually posted this on one of his many misinformation remarks. I don't follow him, but maybe some of the MAGA might see it. Last week his X stock value was 7 plus change, Billion in a mutual fund one of my friends owns. He has mastered the Trump finesse
They will be down more as I forwarded this https://ourwhirl.com/buy-anything-but-tesla/ to black high-profile persons who influence others. Being Mary Jane TV series really hyped this car. I wish Gabrielle Union would say something now, because Musk is roaming in celeb circles, ONLY because of his money. Celebs are too busy marketing their own stuff on XXX, they don't pay attention, and also have direct access to him.
But once X started accepting credit cards, he became a consumer service with consumer laws!
It's probably not great that a different company Musk runs (Well, "runs") has millions of dollars in government contracts making his continued success important to the US government.
So glad we learned so much about regulation and making things too big to fail in 2008!
It was a direct result of Bushie’s wars of errors—they closed down our government’s funding/major involvement in the space program and outsourced it. What a travesty.
I honestly think Musk is using X for world war, to organize white supremacists around the world. And I wish his SpaceX nonsense would stop, he's just polluting skies and eventually will kill someone!
This is not "free" speech. This is irresponsible speech. Perhaps all users on X should start calling for Musk to face some form of violence for his "free" speech and see how he responds?
I hope Judd's information about what Musk is doing goes viral too. I think the only way to fix the problem of X (formerly Twitter) is for everyone who currently uses it to stop doing so. If you use this "service," you are only contributing to Musk's ability to get his garbage out there.
No wayyyy he'd pollute the atmosphere. No telling what that would do to everyone's brain, with evil pellets falling from sky. 🤣
And I'd swear he planted a Neuralink "Get Out" chip into "Conye"'s brain, while he slept over at Space Karen's house. 😂 It's the only thing that makes sense, how Kanye went from educated and self-thinking, talented, to a lemming who loves and hugs badgradestrump, as if he was his slave master, who just gave him a day off. 😳 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/kanye-west-meet-trump-white-house/story?id=58433020
I’ve shared this to my X (formerly Twitter) account and I think everybody who has an account there should share it too with the possibility that we can at least offset some of Elon’s lies.
That was my original reason. But I remain a voice for facts and reason and that's important too. I know he makes [some] $$$ off ads and that just by using “X” I am putting money in Elon’s pockets, but I (like to think) that my posts are doing some good. Thanks for the advice. <3
This is what you're funding if you're paying Musk. WARNING: the image is graphic. If you're shocked by it, imagine my shock having it promoted to me, as if it was normal. AND right after seeing Katie Britt and Ron DeSantis whine about child safety
WARNING AGAIN: GRAPHIC SEX CONTENT that was in public trending topic
As long as we continue to allow billionaires to purchase and own our media, in all forms, we will be more poorly informed, but more likely maliciously ill-informed. It's happening all over America. The Baltimore Sun has gone down just recently and has gone from struggling and weak to rubbish, thanks to the owner of Sinclair Broadcasting, who is also spending $$$ to affect local elections. There should be minimum requirements for news organizations regarding truth and transparency. Our major newspapers have become over politicized and outright propagandized, and I now prefer the Guardian for actual news of the world. Also, somewhat more professional are PBS, NPR, BBC, and even Al Jazeera, which does a huge amount of mini documentary style reports covering the entire world. All we hear about in the US is Trump, MAGA, and the associated hateful us against them rubbish.
Any explanation of why states keep submitting the same SSNs over and over again? Sounds like people are trying to use a stolen or hacked number.
Interesting enough, this week a Republican voter just got prosecuted for fraudulently submitting 55 ballots of other people that she filled out herself. Got innocent Vietnamese speakers to sign things without understanding. Almost every documented instance of voting fraud is by GOP voters.
I believe it has been the case that each and every proven case of voter proven fraud has been perpetrated by a Republican. There have been accusations against Democrats (very widely touted when they're made), but none of those have turned out to be true or simple mistakes. The Republican cases have turned out not to be mistakes, but outright, purposeful fraud.
Well as mentioned in a comment I made yesterday on PI, the Great Hack of Federal Agencies in March of 2020 likely yielded plenty of our info. Then so did the hacks of hotels, banks, store charge cards, medical insurance, etc.
I don't know if it would relate to submissions of the SSNs to this system, but many years ago I was working with wage data related to unemployment insurance. I saw that certain SSNs were associated with wages earned by many different people. My assumption was that the workers were undocumented and had no SSN of their own, but these numbers were known to be valid and were shared around among people who needed one to work.
Non-citizen voting is “very rare,” but Repugs voting more than once is not.
In Nebraska, the Repugs are seeking to cancel out the Democrats’ votes by changing the state constitution so that electoral votes aren’t split. That means, the western, rural areas, largely owned by millionaires (ranchers, the Mormon Church, Gov. Jim Pillen, Microsoft, etc. (https://investigatemidwest.org/2023/11/20/whos-buying-nebraska-corporations-investors-grabbing-giant-chunks-of-nebraska-farmland/) will have more political influence at polls than the two, most heavily populated cities of Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln).
If that isn’t vote stealing, I don’t know what is.
In fact, the Electoral Process was originally designed to steal power, a concession inserted by slave owners of the South.
YEE-Haw! Nebraska dodged the Repug Electoral Bullet once more!
Oh, the Cheats & Liars of the RNC will try again, I’m sure .
With GOV.Pillen buying up western lands (along with the Mormon Church)—you’d think there would be apparent conflicts of interest. But what does illegal even mean in a Red state, anymore?
Please, please, please if at all possible, everyone with a brain, quit Twitter! It's already a right wing garbage pile and needs to be relegated to inconsequential status, like Trump's sleezy cult platform.
I have suggested a Collapse/Expand button, since primary comments (to the author) tend to get pushed too far down by replies to replies. A button at each level could make reading much easier.
There was a kerfluffle about Nazis here a few months ago but frankly I never saw very much of it, and if it’s still here, I am not seeing any of it. I don’t know how easy it is to silo yourself here, maybe you could point me to current instances.
The whole idea of why he bought was to diffuse the power of Twitter as a political force, that's why he went to see Putin 2 weeks before he purchased it.
You can sit in your court of judgement all you want, but X is highly quoted in all media circles.
Judd is still on Twitter and many others. Until Judd gets thrown off, I am staying. There are too many alternatives. I am on Tribel, Post and Threads. All of these lesser knowns difuse our polotical power of numbers. I can't stay on social media all day trying to get new followers, when the #resistance is doing our best to fight on the front lines and be pesky to Elon, Trump, the GOP, The House of Reps, etc for however long. I tweet back "misinformation" on Elon's posts. I get requests all the time from suspicious accounts that say they own a Tesla or are into the next phase of Space Exploration. I block them. He has toadies. My opinion is he will parachute out after the first Tuesday in November if Biden wins. I will do whatever it takes to keep the pressure on while I am on "his" platform and so do as all the other resistors that I follow. Like it or not the battlefield is X. and I still call it Twitter when I respond to him. I know that irritates him. His Toadies likely look for it
Oh please. If you truly believe your presence there is actually doing anything to further the “fight” you’re delusional. Every day xitter continues to operate adds to EM’s bottom line and increases his pocketbook value while giving him a platform to spread his hate and misinformation. Judd and other media continue to be on xitter because they are there to observe and report the awful things that happen there. Musk doesn’t care about your little responses because his algorithm prevents him from even seeing them. The only thing that gets his attention is investigative reporters and when he’s really irritated he becomes an egomaniacal bully filing lawsuits to try and silence those who threaten his bottom line. And there are unfortunately Republican Attorneys General out there like this one from Missouri who are all to eager too help him https://www.publicnotice.co/p/missouri-media-matters-lawsuit-ag-andrew-bailey?publication_id=501423&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=1dsu4&utm_medium=email
You can still read when anyone quotes someone/something on Twitter. I deactivated my account when Musk said he was buying. Honestly, I don't miss it. I followed people, but I barely had any followers. I doubt they miss my presence, like I don't miss the lies spewed there.

He's Lex Luthor
Interesting analogy!
Wow. A White South African ex-pat coming out as fully racist. Who'da thought?
If I never read another word about Elon Musk, I'll be happier.
Musk is not a scientific genius or anything close to it. He hires the scientists then takes credit for their work. Musk is a cancer on the earth.
I have actually posted this on one of his many misinformation remarks. I don't follow him, but maybe some of the MAGA might see it. Last week his X stock value was 7 plus change, Billion in a mutual fund one of my friends owns. He has mastered the Trump finesse
But his Tesla sales are dramatically down as people discover his narcissistic, racist. fascist ways.
They will be down more as I forwarded this https://ourwhirl.com/buy-anything-but-tesla/ to black high-profile persons who influence others. Being Mary Jane TV series really hyped this car.

Welfare for the rich.
DoD has an inspector general. Military officials cannot be associated with white supremacists, child sex traffickers, Ponzi schemers and domestic terrorists, including insurrection deniers. https://ourwhirl.com/gop-human-trafficking/white-supremacist-paulsonwalt-hate-is-ok-with-musk-and-insurrection-denier-2024-04-04-10.30.19PM.png

Exactly. Irresponsible and heedless of any consequences. Just "asking questions" type of sh*t!
I hope Judd's information about what Musk is doing goes viral too. I think the only way to fix the problem of X (formerly Twitter) is for everyone who currently uses it to stop doing so. If you use this "service," you are only contributing to Musk's ability to get his garbage out there.
Would that Elon M get sucked down a Boring Tunnel and whisked into a dimension inimical to life.
Just putting him in orbit would be enough.
No wayyyy he'd pollute the atmosphere. No telling what that would do to everyone's brain, with evil pellets falling from sky. 🤣

OK. Let's do it!
I’ve shared this to my X (formerly Twitter) account and I think everybody who has an account there should share it too with the possibility that we can at least offset some of Elon’s lies.
Better idea. Get rid of the X account.
I did— for about a month but then I realized [that] “X” meeds as many voices of reason as possible and that’s why I stay.
Bad logic. You support Musk by staying.
That was my original reason. But I remain a voice for facts and reason and that's important too. I know he makes [some] $$$ off ads and that just by using “X” I am putting money in Elon’s pockets, but I (like to think) that my posts are doing some good. Thanks for the advice. <3
How many followers do you have? I respect your premise, but the reality is your voice is the equivalent of spitting into the ocean.
Better to spit in the ocean than swallow it. Which is what Musk counts on people doing.
I don’t know how many followers I have. I don’t really care.

Well the rich own the first three estates. So it's only natural that they buy up the fourth one while they're at it.

No surprise here, but a great report, Judd!
Please, please, please if at all possible, everyone with a brain, quit Twitter! It's already a right wing garbage pile and needs to be relegated to inconsequential status, like Trump's sleezy cult platform.
Not me. That's where the resistance is and I am resisting with all my might. I found Judd there four or five years ago. He still maintains an account.
The day Elon Musk bought twitter I blocked him. I never see his tweets. Yay!
Why hasn’t someone, anyone, offered a viable alternative to this corrupt platform?
I vote for Mastodon. Decentralized, not corporate owned, no ads, no algorithms, no wacky billionaires spewing hate and misinformation!
No need to support Twitter, X, Threads, BlueSky, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, etc. Their users are just making the corporations and billionaires richer!
Check out my feed to see Mastodon in action: https://vmst.io/@drrjv/112212661533231115
You’re on Substack. Anything wrong with it?
I have suggested a Collapse/Expand button, since primary comments (to the author) tend to get pushed too far down by replies to replies. A button at each level could make reading much easier.
We obviously don't live in a perfect world. Substack has had its problems (Nazis?)
Supporting a lot of great writers like Judd, Heather Cox Richardson and Robert Hubble (and would be happy if they moved to another site like Ghost)

Mastodon and give Spoutible a try.
Threads is growing. Long way to go but it is an option.
To everyone still on Twitter Xitter X or whatever you call it, EM’s hellscape dystopia needs to die a flaming specactular death. STOP USING IT!
Threads is owned by Meta aka Facebook 👎.
I vote Mastodon but I do occasionally use Bluesky because I have friends there.

Obviously you haven't been there lately. But go ahead and do your thing to help in the election.
I did research on the numbers of these type platforms
X 335 million users
Mastodon 9 million
Threads 7 million
Post 400 thousand
Tribel 550 thousand
@JuddLegum has 575 thousand followers on X and posts regularly what we read on PI
You can still read when anyone quotes someone/something on Twitter. I deactivated my account when Musk said he was buying. Honestly, I don't miss it. I followed people, but I barely had any followers. I doubt they miss my presence, like I don't miss the lies spewed there.
Tribal is trying to do that. It is generally coming from a progressive out look that is a breath of fresh air after X.
