🚨BREAKING: Elon hints he will release a ‘giant data dump’ of censorship requests by the ADL trying to censor certain accounts on Twitter/X This was in a reply to @libsoftiktok who was expressing concern about ‘thousands of users who have been suspended, throttled, silenced, and shadowbanned’ This comes minutes after @elonmusk announced he will ‘file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League’, claiming they would ‘potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the company, so roughly $22 billion’ #ADLFILES coming soon?

🚨THE ADL IS KILLING 𝕏 The ADL is pressuring 𝕏 into extreme levels of censorship and influencing sponsors to abandon the platform! Elon stated the “ADL has tried very hard to strangle 𝕏/Twitter." Tucker Carlson also criticized the ADL for trying to get advertisers to boycott him: "Oh, f— them... it’s operated by a guy who’s… just an apparatchik of the Democratic Party." The situation escalated this morning when @elonmusk shared that “the ADL has been trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic." He said they have been "so aggressive in their demands to ban social media accounts for even minor infractions.” Elon rightly points out that the ADL “are ironically the biggest generators of anti-Semitism on this platform” as their extreme censorship inadvertently causes people to become anti-Semitic. Elon shared that X’s “US advertising revenue is still down 60%, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by ADL (that's what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing 𝕏/Twitter!" Until Elon can address the ADL problem, 𝕏 is fighting an uphill battle. This past weekend, the #BanTheADL hashtag has been trending on X as people want the taxpayer-funded non-profit organization defunded or shut down. MY THOUGHTS: The ADL’s mission is honorable and necessary: Countering anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry. Even Tukcer previously said that "the ADL was such a noble organization that had a very specific goal, which was to fight anti-Semitism. That’s a virtuous goal" However, with great powers comes great responsibility, and the ADL is a perfect example of why CENTRALIZED CENSORSHIP is one of my biggest concerns. We taxpayers fund the ADL, and we must act. We cannot expect Elon or anyone to alone fight centralized censorship, and 𝕏 is the last major social media platform that supports Free Speech. Why does the ADL get special privileges to censor? Why can’t they simply use or be part of Community Notes?

🚨BIDEN AND THE DOJ TARGET ELON MUSK Remember when Biden didn’t invite Elon or mention Tesla at the White House Electric Vehicle Summit? Well... Now X, Tesla and SpaceX are ALL being investigated/sued by the Biden administration! 1. TESLA: The DOJ and the SEC this week claimed Musk used millions of dollars from Tesla to secretly build himself a ‘spacious glass structure’, labelled as 'House for CEO Elon Musk' Fox’s Jesse Waters described these investigations as having “less to do about glass houses and more to do with Biden exacting revenge on Musk for buying Twitter” Elon replied to Jesse: “This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Where is this house!? Metaphors don’t count!” 2. X/TWITTER: X got in trouble with the Biden Administration after refusing to hand over to prosecutors Trump’s personal Twitter data and information. The information included: - Trump’s use of the account, - Whether others had access to it - Whether he might have written draft tweets that he left unposted. Twitter initially resisted complying with the search warrant, arguing that the order violated Trump’s constitutional right of free speech, resulting in a federal judge holding the company in contempt and fining it $350,000. 3. SPACEX: It doesn’t stop there… This week, the DOJ sued SpaceX for discriminating against refugees in the company’s hiring process. They claim the company discourage refugees from applying for positions, giving their applications unfair consideration, and refusing to hire them even if they were deemed qualified applicants. Is Elon being targeted for political reasons? Or is this more about Twitter/X defending Free Speech?

BREAKING: TWO JAN 6 MEN GET 32 YEARS COMBINED A federal judge has handed a 15 year sentence in the Jan 6 Proud Boys seditious conspiracy case to Zach Rehl from Philadelphia. Also Joe Biggs, a Proud Boys leader, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors said he had "served as an instigator and leader" during the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol. ARE THESE SENTENCES FAIR?

BREAKING: NEW JAN 6 CHARGES | BLM V.S JAN 6 CHARGE #1: The Infamous Tunnel Case The courts have unsealed new Jan 6 "tunnel" case files, relating to alleged deliberate attacks against the police. Nathan Hughes, a “Stop the Steal” activist, is now accused of 'signaling to direct the mob into the tunnel confrontation against the police.' If convicted Hughes could face up to 15 years imprisonment. The January 6 tunnel incident refers to clashes between protesters and police officers in a tunnel beneath the West Terrace. The clashes lasted a few hours and involved officers allegedly beaten with flagpoles, fists, and other objects, with some getting sprayed with pepper spray. One officer, Michael Fanone, was said to have been dragged into the tunnel by protesters and had his gun taken from him. It is claimed he suffered a traumatic brain injury and PTSD. CHARGE #2: Police Hat & Jacket Federal prosecutors also want a 33-month prison term for Darrell Neely, arguing he "brazenly stole a US Capitol Police baseball hat & jacket. " The charge sheet further claims Neely absconded and was a fugitive briefly during the case and bragged that Jan 6 was “wonderful.” BLM VS JAN 6 SENTENCES: The longest jail term for convictions in the BLM riots was 7 years handed to Richard Rubalcava, a 28-year-old for arson on a store. In stark contrast the jail terms appear to be longer for those convicted in the Jan 6 Capitol riots. For example, for Jessica Watkins prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 50 years and Donovan Crowl is facing 45 years. Will there be justice in the case of J6 protesters? Do some deserve jail time?

BREAKING: U.S. Senate Republican Leader McConnell seems to freeze unexpectedly while fielding questions from the media at an event. This is the second time this year that this has happened. Our thoughts go to him and his family 🙏 Should he (regrettably) resign?

BREAKING: MAJOR BIDEN CORRUPTION TAPE COMING SOON? Greg Kelly from Newsmax alleges the existence of a recording with "undeniable proof of Joe Biden's corruption." This tape is set to be released soon, between September 5th and October 31st. "I've been informed by insiders... there's undeniable proof of Joe Biden's corruption that's on the verge of being revealed." Kelly insists that this recording is so impactful that it might lead President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election. "He won't be able to continue running for re-election as president. It'll be the end of it." "There's current concern about it within the White House." Could this destroy Biden's re-election prospects?

BREAKING: Meta Uncovers Global Chinese Disinformation Campaign | Involves X/Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Medium & Tumblr. Meta uncovered a large Chinese disinformation campaign, calling it the “largest known cross-platform covert influence operation in the world.” The network focused on spreading positive news about China and criticizing journalists, activists and the U.S. The network also attempted to spread disinformation about the origins of Covid, according to Meta. One headline relating to Covid, "Great clue! Suspicious U.S. seafood received before the outbreak at Huanan Seafood Market" was spread in 8 different languages. Platforms used in the disinformation campaign included Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Reddit, Medium and Tumblr. The company removed 7,704 Facebook accounts, 954 pages, and 30 other groups and Instagram accounts for policy violations. The China-based campaign targeted multiple countries, including Taiwan, the U.S, and the U.K., according to Meta's report. The company has taken action to dismantle the network on its own platforms, describing it as the most extensive operation of its kind ever uncovered. THOUGHTS?

MUSK V.S ZUCKERBERG FIGHT CANCELLED? Zuckerberg's trainer hinted today that the much-anticipated showdown might not take place: "I don't think Elon wants it and that's all I can say. I wouldn't be surprised [if Zuckerberg fights someone else], Mark is extremely competitive and extremely gifted in his athletic ventures, he did a jiu-jitsu tournament and won it which was awesome. So I wouldn't be surprised. He trains really hard all the time and I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to challenge himself." I'm not surprised to see this development, as 2 weeks ago, Zuck made a similar statement, claiming Elon was not "genuinely committed" to the fight, and that it's "time to move forward." This contradicted @elonmusk's private conversation with Zuck in which Elon asked Zuck whether they could have a "practice bout at your place next week." DID ZUCK CHICKEN OUT FROM HIS FIGHT WITH ELON? Or is this all for PR?
