There's nothing to misinterpret.

This is classic #blueanon - when caught being a bunch of cockroaches (which is a lot) - deploy the old "but you don't understand" shtick and/or go find a usual mouthpiece and dictate a story to them and then have them go regurgitate it on their respective #blueanon go to media outlet. Parrot the dictated explanation relentlessly . . . . making sure all outlets are reading from the same script - expect simp brain #blueanon to follow suit by the millions

Has any legal authority weighed in on the legality of Musk’s involvement, or any charges pressed, court dates set
, investigations opened?

Lots of lawyers a saying basically all of the Elon stuff is illegal.

In the case of USAID, it was established by Congress long ago. Which means that no president can unilaterally remove it.

Respectfully, I think we’re gonna find that there’s an awful lot of gray area.

There will be plenty of opportunity to find out!

I hope it’s all litigated as fast as possible. I truly do.

John Oliver falls into that trap too. Generally like him and think he's a good person, but the show at times is as half-truthy as dax.

Yep that's a great example even if it's a different style. He's funny, fast, and witty and there's no real way to fact check.

Also I realized that what is going on might be more akin to libsoftiktok "journalism" than Twitter files. Just screenshots with no context, and the goons lap it up and if it is proven false it doesn't matter because the people have made up their minds and the damage is done.

usaspending.gov shows 100% of the funds that went to Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors from USAID went to Migration and Refugee Assistance / U.S. Refugee Admissions Program

Once people's SS checks/tax returns etc get delayed or stopped this will go very super well. About as super well as paypal's scheme with honey to steal all of youtube's content creators cash via honey.

That wasn't the NYT's - in the process of assailing Musk - also mentioning that GAO auditing determined that the Treasury wrote $236 billion in sus checks in FFY'23, was it?

That of course doesn't even count the "legit" checks going through the money laundering washer to #blueanon's most favored think tanks, and human trafficking NGO's.

Wonder if he interprets 2A in the "strictest sense"?

What a journey - from demanding war crime tribunals - to feeding the neocon think tanks.

This is truly the life and times of #blueanon - the must mumped political/criminal enterprise, ever

It’s the same account that he was posting yesterday that was shown to be spreading misinformation.

Any #blueanon/#blueanongE talking about "misinformation" at this point in history needs to be

You were part of the 4 largest disinformation/misinformation campaigns in US political history
