E.U. Prepares Major Penalties Against Elon Musk’s X
European regulators are considering fining X more than $1 billion, after weighing the risks of further antagonizing Mr. Musk and President Trump.Adam Satariano (The New York Times)
C'est pas encore confirmé mais Politico en parle aujourd'hui :
"Elon Musk devrait quitter ses fonctions auprès du président américain dans les prochaines semaines. Donald Trump l’a fait savoir à sa garde rapprochée, dont plusieurs membres de son cabinet. Bien que le chef de l’Etat continue d’apprécier son travail, le multimilliardaire, à la tête du “département de l’efficacité gouvernementale”, est de plus en plus vu comme un allié encombrant par l’administration américaine et les deux hommes ont convenu que l’homme d’affaires devait retourner à ses affaires."

Analysis: "Musk has a simple diagnosis of what’s ailing America: It’s being destroyed by empathy."
"Musk has argued that empathy is a suicidal trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction".
The west should get tough: "bar its doors to immigrants of a certain type & endure temporary hardship so... the woke mind virus will die.”

Psychopathy is marked by lack of empathy &, hence, conscience.

“The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums
The Trump admin, with #Musk’s so-called Dept of Govt Efficiency, has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide.
This threatens student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to digital library services.”
| WIRED wired.com/story/institute-muse…
" #Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that #Musk will soon be stepping back from his 👉🏼current role👈🏼... remains pleased with Musk & DOGE..." but 👋🏼
"It also represents a stark shift in Trump-Musk rel'ship from a month ago, when WH officials, allies were predicting Musk was “here to stay” & Trump would find a way to blow past the 130-day time limit"
EXACTLY what a #SOCIOPATH would say:
#ElonMusk has a…diagnosis of what’s *ailing* #America: It’s being destroyed by #empathy. In a long interview w/Joe Rogan, in numerous tweets…, #Musk has argued that “empathy” is a “suicidal” trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction. It is time, he believes, for “the West”…to bar its doors to #immigrants of a *certain type* & endure “temporary hardship” so govt can be transformed & “the woke mind virus will die.”

Loser says what?
#ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”
It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.
They are incapable of admitting when they lose.

Fend for Yourself: Under Trump, Consumer Protection Bureau’s Probes of Big Tech and Finance Firms Freeze Up

#Technofeudalists and the perceived #AI threat incongruence
(2/n)
... importantly, there is, in my view, no discrepancy on a strategic (intent) level:
a) #Musk's primary goal is, as you know, to transform #humanity into a #MultiplanetarySpecies. Colonizing the closest possible habitable planet (#Mars, #Terraforming) is indispensable for this lifty aim. That will cost the global economy billions of dollars for many years, that will then be missing for feeding the poor...
Best picture so far that describes the current situation in the White House
" #Wisconsin's attorney general on Sunday asked the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to stop billionaire #Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters, an appeal that came hours before #Trump's ally planned the giveaway at an evening rally.
An appeals court on Saturday rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law prohibiting giving anything of value in exchange for a vote" abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/wi…
Wisconsin's attorney general asks the state Supreme Court to stop Musk's $1 million payments
Wisconsin’s attorney general has asked the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two votersSCOTT BAUER Associated Press (ABC News)
Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.
The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.

"Elon Musk is set to visit the Central Intelligence Agency on Monday, the latest stop on a tour through the US government’s spy apparatus that’s provoked alarm from some Democrats and intelligence experts."
Money is pouring into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election so fast that political observers now believe it is likely to reach $100 million by Tuesday, election day.
Already, it has become the costliest judicial race in U.S. history.
