How can he be so incendiary and noone calls him on it?
Elon Musk retweeting the 'America' account on twitter announcing: BREAKING: U.S. State Department under President Trump has officially designated the following as Foreign Terrorist Organizations: and him quoting 'that means they're eligible for drone strikes'.

Meanwhile, over on X the government is now the kleptocracy that needs Musk and Trump to save it. Crazymaking.

One of the AI mockups on the Tim Walz thread on X.
AI rendition of Elon Musk in a suit, looking considerable more masc than in everyday life, sits in the president's chair in the oval office. A golden labrodor with a very Trumpesque hairpiece sits across his lap.

This is the kind of stuff that is standard posting for Elon over at X now. It's his own personal propaganda machine.

Picture: Nicole Kidman in the 1995 dark comedy To Die For, in which a murderously ambitious weathergirl will do anything to get to the top. Kidman, dressed in a helmet bob and polka dotted suit, smiles toothily at the camera while her hands indicate sunny weather on the map behind her.

A dude with an oddly upswept coiffe that makes him look like a flame blowing in the wind sits at a counter. He and his mug of hot beverage are having a conversation. Man: Coffee, you're my only friend. Coffee, looking very dark brown: let's go commit a murder. Man, frowning: Hmm, too dark. He pours more milk into the mug. The Coffee, a nice caramel colour now: Let's contemplate murder. The man sips his coffee and says: Perfect.

The mother from the Brady Bunch (I forget her name) grabbing Marsha's cheeks and shaking her while the text reads 'You mustn't let the dystopian nightmare bullshit dim your fucking sparkle'. I hope you're having a good weekend, this was posted on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Auckland New Zealand.

Obvious Plant Performance Art Piece Poster, stapled to a tree. It contains separate pictures of two 'gone to seed' men bathing in a decrepid bathroom environment in bathtubs filled with a milk-looking substance, while a waspish older women in a 'dirty pillows'-looking nightdress stands over them. Both the men and the woman are looking at the camera. The Poster heading is 'Bathe in My Milk' then goes on in bullet points, Offer open to Men Only, Soy Almond or Traditional, Use my sponge, I will watch you. The boxed text at the bottom of the poster reads 'Schedule and appointment Bath in my milk dot com'.

World Health Organisation response to USA's response. They'll still be there when this tomfoolery is over.
WHO comments on United States’ announcement of intent to withdraw 21 January 2025 Statement Geneva The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization. WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go. The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO. With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues. We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

Hmmm, the fit seems familiar.
Two figures dressed in spy garb with wide brimmed hats, long coats and boots, one black and one white meet each other, leering with malicious intent, drawing parallels to Melania Trumps inauguration outfit.
