Musk's "political neutral" MAGAt troll farm is a contributor to much of the rank stupidity in the MAGA cult.

Musk bought Twitter to do exactly this.

He who controls the narrative, controls the nation.

CLOWN

"He who controls the narrative, controls the nation."

This dastardly scheme goes way past Twitter.

The worst will come when Trump appoints Musk as the Director of the FCC.

Then we'll be able to look back to now (2024) as the good 'ol days when we had freedom of the press.

Do the supposed docs contain anything interesting?

Interesting enough to keep hidden.

But I think the media has already exposed Vance's juxtaposition about Trump.

So, was he lying then or is he lying now?

I read the dossier.

In general, its's just many pages of the Trump campaign's concerns about Vance's potential liabilities. The overall concern is that they considered Vance to be insufficiently conservative and insufficiently MAGA.

As to specifics, among other things, Vance's former law firm lobbied for Perdue Pharma and companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

I think the Harris/Walz campaign has thus far missed a golden opportunity by not drilling down on the Vance dossier - especially the lobbying for "Gyna". It would drive Trump even nuttier.

The dossier does make clear that Vance is a completely opportunistic phoney, but the persuadable public already knows that. Focus on Vance's lobbying for the commies, Kamala. It's getting late into the 4th quarter.

Time will show that Musk is indeed the darkest of enemies of our democracy.

I believe Trump refers to this behavior as "election interference"

"The Times, citing two people with knowledge of the events, said the Trump campaign worked with X to remove links to a leaked dossier that included the personal details of Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance"

Another ghost article.

That would be what Hillary and the DNC were fined for regarding the Steele Dossier.
