~The Tesla Fan's Lament~ “First he claimed to be a founder, And I did not care – because I liked EVs. Then he defrauded California, And I did not care – because I liked EVs. Then he sabotaged high speed rail, sold cars knowing their batteries’ design flaw could cause fires, gamed range ... /1

One person does not want you to see this movie. But everyone else does.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Nearly half a billion dollars flooding into our elections from one man. When Elon writes massive checks to GOP super PACs, it can obscure where his money is being spent. But via his own super PAC, America PAC, we can see exactly which elections he wants to buy. Let's dive in... 🧵

See it while you can.

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

$TSLAQ Seems like the only coverage. Hopefully incorrect. Google Gemini claimed not to find showtimes for this weekend, so… 🤷 @niedermeyer.online www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/c...

@montanaskeptic.bsky.social is Bethany McLean the journalist who exposed Enron? www.inc.com/bethany-mcle...

"The 26-year-old Tesla driver from San Francisco stopped and cooperated with police, providing dash cam footage CHP said. 'The driver stated the vehicle was being operated in Full Self-Driving (FSD) autonomous mode at the time of the crash,' CHP said..." www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

“Who helped Elon finance Twitter when he bought it? Larry Ellison,” Malone said. “How did Larry Ellison come up with some of the money to put into the creation of Skydance? Tesla stock. And I would not doubt for a minute that before very long you’re going to see an announcement.”

*MUSK ORDERED STARLINK SLOWDOWN ON UKRAINE: WSJ 👀👀👀

Going live with the one and only @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social in 30 minutes, exclusively on the AT Protocol! Join us for a discussion of his new documentary film "MUSK," storytelling and journalism in the Musk era, and the battle to hold the powerful accountable. stream.place/niedermeyer.online

You don't have to do this, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. It's a choice. They want to defund you. They think you're a propaganda arm of an evil government. You will never win them over by showing them grace when they show absolutely none towards you.

@montanaskeptic.bsky.social we’d talked about who the Dems should run in 2028 (you liked Rahm, IIRC?). I wasn’t sure then; Ossoff looks promising now. Like el-Sayed, he seems like a left populist who rejects “purity” and punches back. I still love AOC o/c. 😊

The Confederate flag should have been illegal the instant they surrendered

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Things I’ve seen today: TikTok has banned the Musk movie account Meta/Facebook has banned No Kings It’s us vs SV Bro’s/Billionaires

You Americans and your Imperial units... 🤷 1 chain = 4 rods 1 inch = 3 barleycorns 1 Scaramucci = 2 Zacharia's

MUSK APPROACHED TRUMP TO PROPOSE SLOWING DOWN STARLINK IN UKRAINE - TELEGRAPH

SpaceX senior manager for global government affairs is about to testify before NYC Council tech committee after the co. skipped a 10/5 hearing and shirked a subpoena to testify... www.cnbc.com/2026/10/16/s... I'm listening so you don't have to.

yes, even your old Tesla with the bumper sticker is helping prop up Elon Musk's empire every time you charge the racism, the Putin enabling, the data centers choking black neighborhoods with pollution... you own a little piece of it all every time you plug in insideevs.com/news/811797/...

GET HIS ASS

my most fervent wish is for every one of stephen miller’s fears to come true hound him everywhere he goes prosecute him any way you can sue him and sue his wife and bleed them dry until the end of their days

Alex Gibney gave me a shout-out on Kara Swisher's podcast, which is absolutely hilarious because she's had me blocked on here for ages youtu.be/LUjirxMzFqQ?...

According to Trump Admin, the recklessly performative search of Ihlan Omar is about immigration fraud. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u... Perhaps now would be a good time to search Elon Musk's home as part of an investigation into his original immigration status.

my point here is not that David Brooks is a hypocrite. My point is that David Brooks is a shitty, prissy little scold who just wants to lash out at Democrats and doesn't care whether he has a real reason to or not and is too fucking stupid to consider for a moment how dumb his position is.

imagine being so horny for austerity that you talk yourself into believing that the hundreds of thousands of developing world deaths and total gutting of life-saving medical research were unfortunate excesses of DOGE and not the entire point

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

ready to cancel any platform I'm currently paying for that livestreams an execution

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

How long are we going to pretend that the world's richest man being the largest promoter of Nazism since Adolf Hitler and that made him a trillionaire, for a few days, isn't a random trivia fact but the indictment of our age?

2/ The Trump Administration has awarded Musk's companies with massive contracts & offered them endless regulatory indulgences. Democrats, who for years praised Musk and helped his fraud festival get its start, had better have longer memories than a fruit fly if they regain Congressional power.

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

@keubiko.bsky.social New chart formation just dropped. 😏

The richest man in the world has a goldfish's understanding of relationships. And cars. And rockets. And medical care. And computers. And ...
