Literally the day after he took over I got recommendations to follow both him and Alex Jones. From "the algorithm", sure. So very centrist.
Elon Musk falsely claims Twitter under Jack Dorsey was amplifying "far left" ideology and is now "centrist" -

"There haven't been any left-wing voices that have been suspended," he lies. (Musk has banned more people in 3 years, by his own numbers, than in the entire pre-takeover history.)

We’re not dealing with “bots” anymore. We’re dealing with synthetic identities built in AI factories: photoreal faces, emotional personas, fabricated histories.
These fake humans blend in so well you never see them coming.

Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners.

This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning
NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trump’s attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
December 7, 2025 at 7:24 AM
Accurate.
The people pushing for the elimination of birthright citizenship are currently committing atrocities against immigrants within our country's borders and murdering fishermen overseas. This cannot be ethically discussed as an abstract legal question. There is no law here, only a fascist will to power.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

We are underreacting to this‼️

We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.

The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

This is assault by ICE, what he is doing is extrajudicial, illegal, he has no jurisdiction to even be there. Immigration is a civil matter. ICE/CBP and all the people sending them into the streets are the criminals. They are the chaos they are the lawless. Indict and prosecute them.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.

Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:
