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).

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. 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.

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

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?

Expand full comment

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. 🤣

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

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.

Expand full comment

Better idea. Get rid of the X account.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

Bad logic. You support Musk by staying.

Expand full comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Tik Tok pales in comparison, by the way.

Expand full comment

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.

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.
