@FreedomATX It sounds like an incredible conflict of interest. Musk is a major government contractor and his businesses are subject to government regulations.
@altucker More cowardice from the Pusillanimous Party.
From the Guardian:
Oklahoma congressman Markwayne Mullin has previously accused Gaetz of sharing videos of girls he slept with on the House floor. He told CNN last year that Gaetz would “brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night”.
On CNN just now, he said, “I completely trust President Trump’s decision making on this one.”
#politics makes strange bedfellows.
@th3j35t3r This is going to be really bad.
@AmericanPartisan Just think how flawed any AI trained on Twitter would be. Whatever it may he, it won't be intelligent.
‘BlueAnon’ Conspiracies Grip Dems After Trump’s Election Sweep
...
Like it’s right-wing counterpart, QAnon, the far-left’s BlueAnon is also rooted in denialism at all costs. “Trump cheated” began to trend on X after the race was called in his favor...

These include the assasination attempt "false flag" and Starlink Stealing theories.

@Route10 It's up to Congress, but I don't see a lot of resistance to Trump by the majority party.
@gshevlin I'm not sure how moderation on a profitable super-sized social media site would work. Control over your own feed and the ability to block help, but the sheer volume of users may be an inherent vulnerability to trolls, bots and grifters.

From the Intertubes: “I promise you that when 99% of Americans hear “mass deportations” they envision a fictional rough neighborhood in a city they’ve never been to in a state they don’t live in & will be shocked when their favorite neighborhood restaurant suddenly closes & a bunch of their kids’ friends suddenly vanish.”
@dmindel For the President-elect it's a bucket list.
@StevenSavage Both Rome and Roman Constantinople provided free bread for the poor.
@Lulz4l1f3 Not that I'm aware of.
CORTECTION: It must have been extended.

Putin Isn’t Fighting for Land in Ukraine
And Biden has mere weeks to give the Ukrainians the resources they need to fight.
..
“Land for peace” sounds nice, but the president of Russia isn’t fighting for land. Putin is fighting not to conquer Pokrovsk but to destroy Ukraine as a nation. He wants to show his own people that Ukraine’s democratic aspirations are hopeless.

How Democrats won Senate seats in states that Trump carried
...
Had Republicans carried every Senate contest in a state that Trump won, they would be standing at 57 seats instead of what appears likely to be 53. However, the votes in presidential and Senate races are about as closely aligned as they've ever been. Only in the very closest races did the small share of split-ticket voters affect the outcomes.
