Musk’s true genius is in finding ways to scam the government.

His latest ploy is buying the otherwise unsellable Cybertrucks to his own companies to get EV credits that are about to expire.

Exactly. But the oligarch Bezos/Zuckerberg/Murdoch/Musk news media won’t ever inform viewers about that.

ALL of it. SSN DOB mother maiden name, earnings, taxes, medical claims

And they are using tax return data to identify hardworking law-abiding immigrants who have been here for years trying to find a pathway to citizenship, so masked ICE thugs can kidnap and deport them.

Thanks Elon for nothing.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

People are worried about ICE at No Kings. I’ve asked them why would they choose to come after you, me or anyone else?They would need to have about 4 people for every one of us. It’s comical to watch the gravy seals try to subdue anyone. We are the leader that we are looking for.

By normalizing the lying we are falling into a trap where citizens no longer can agree on what the actual facts are.
