Shocker: Elon Musk played a key role in promoting the lie. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Elon is such a huckster. Merging Tesla with the conglomerate of SpaceX businesses will gloss over all the unfulfilled Musk promises. It worked before. www.wired.com/story/tesla-...

So stupid. So morally bankrupt.

@jvl.bsky.social learns that Trump turned to Grok to help think through Venezuela, and loses it over the choice of chatbot. “Of course he uses the Truth Social of AIs. We have a couple pretty good AI's out there, but no, he reaches for the Temu, the Cybertruck of AI."

I just love these wildly fluctuating numbers that almost always end up being lower once the news has moved on.

4/ A FARA filing said Israel’s Foreign Ministry would pay a Christian marketing firm more than $3M to identify devices inside hundreds of U.S. churches & push pro-Israel messaging to worshippers. We should expect pro GOP messaging in Nov. www.umnews.org/en/news/firm...
