Excellent reporting. Thank you. Always appreciate pointing out the hypocrisy.

So, if this is definitely a false representation of this company, why is it allowed to remain?

Because at a certain point along the path to accumulating wealth and power, the law no longer applies. It becomes optional.

Thank you! Sharing this info. Not because anyone in the regime will care, but we the people will.

Well, I did share it - maybe at least one person who cares will see it.

Great news, but in other words, this Administration will bankroll musk and all his projects in the fervent belief that $money$ as always, wins the prize! More bribery and corruption from this contemptible lying bunch from trump on down to his loonytic cabinet and agency heads!

In a just world, we would be hearing about Neuralink's falsification of federal forms in an attempt to qualify for racial diversity benefits way more than Zohran Mamdani's checking of a box on a college application when he was a teenager. Alas, ours is not a just world.

Excellent. “Follow The Money” are my watchwords for any billionaire on the make for yet another billion. All the rest of Trump/MAGA/Musk etc is distraction with smoke and mirrors. Today’s Goldfingers are looting the Treasury all the while claiming to be populists rooting out corruption. To think, 77M of ‘us’ bought into a kleptocracy led by a convicted fraudster.

Hi Judd, keep up your reporting, we will need every ounce of real evidence someday to prosecute these crooks. In any era prior to Don the Con's and his MAGAt Cult's Democracy Demolition Derby, this would have been a clarion call to prosecute Musk and his top officers. Sadly what is actually motivating political conversations today is the tawdry Epstein affair, which Don the Con and his DOJ prostitute are attempting to play out the clock on the semi-literate public's attention span, by pretending to order a release of the Grand Jury proceedings, a subset of the prospective full trial evidence, which by law will need to be authorized by a court. Any court worth its judicial robes has good strong precedent and reasoning against releasing these Grand Jury data. Curiously, or perhaps not, the MAGAt demand for release is because they bought into the Con Man's lies that the Epstein rape ring was inhabited by Democratic leaders, failing to understand that if that had actually been the case Pam Bondage would have seen to it that the data were leaked months ago. They appear not to grasp the obvious truth that the Con Man and his DOJ sidekick are protecting him from the publicity that would erupt if the evidence of the Con Man's complicity in the whole sordid affair. My question to the MAGAt faithful is this: If the Access Hollywood tapes from the mid 20-teens, and his well known philandering and tendency towards misogynistic commentary were OK with you all prior to voting for him. Why is this any different, and why are you thinking you are holding Democratic leaders to a higher standard of moral-sexual conduct that you hold Don the Ultimate Con?

Note that Senator Wyden of Oregon has been investigating Epstein’s financial transactions for several years. Where did Epstein get his millions? Stay tuned for more on this.

Keep opening up the vault. As we are seeing, the lies and deceit, the waste and the fraud purported to be from 'immigrants and others' scamming the system, are actually mostly from the very people claiming to 'save us'. Appalling. Thank you for not shying away from the facts.

Excellent reporting PI! What have I learned?

1) No matter how pissed Trump is with Musk, all will be forgiven if there's money

2) Eventually, it will turn out that it's Biden's fault (isn't everything?).

Watch your backs!

Great reporting! Thank you. Will definitely share. The more THE PEOPLE know, the more fed up they become and...the physics of inertia hopefully kicks in.

After the massive illegal power-abusing "harassment" of Trump... paying the price for that isn't harassment, it is justice.

Speaking truth upsets people unfamiliar with it from their safe space bubble. But, speaking truth at least lets them see that their views are in conflict. More importantly it helps those not captured by ideological excess to form their own objective opinions.

This is so egregiously bad that it should result in people taking to the streets to remove this criminal immigrant from our country. But his skin is the wrong color. I would like to send this link to my senators. More people need to know! The wealthiest person in the world abused a system designed for the disadvantaged by claiming HIS COMPANY was disadvantaged and in need of the same type of status DEI provided.

He needs to be deported NOW!
