“Tech billionaire Elon Musk livestreamed his chat with a leader of Germany’s far-right party…, using the power of his social media platform, X, to amplify the party’s message ahead of an upcoming national election — and raising concerns across Europe about the world’s richest man trying to influence foreign politics.”

nationalpostMusk uses X to amplify German far-right leader’s views ahead of electionAudience for livestream with Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany or AfD party, peaked at more than 200,000 X accounts.

#ElonMusk calling the #AfD centrist … You can sure argue about details but who doesn't recognize this as an attempt of political manipulation is beyond help. This would imply that the #CDU is left, which, of course, is utterly absurd and nobody in their right mind would make such an outright misleading statement if they didn't want to gaslight someone. That comes dangerously close to the "Hitler was left" lie.

#EdMartin’s brief tenure as top federal prosecutor in Washington has stoked controversy. Democrats accuse Martin — a #Trump “Stop the Steal” organizer who has called the 2020 election & #Russia’s 2016 #ElectionInterference investigation “hoaxes” — of violating the #law & legal #ethics in threatening to investigate or prosecute lawmakers, protesters, journalists & others whom he perceives as undermining Trump’s agenda.

>> Senator Murphy, I’m one of your constituents. Please ask #AdamSchiff to investigate Trump’s kids for insider trading…

They didn't nail #Trump for #insurrection on #Jan6, theft of nuclear secrets and other #classifiedDocs, attempt to fraudulently overturn the 2020 presidential election using #fakeElectors, and #electionInterference using #fakeVotes in #Georgia.

Nobody will investigate #insiderTrading. That's only punishable for people like #MarthaStewart
