In the UK we get John Oliver too: he, his researchers, and show, is very good and funny as hell, tis why he/show have won 20 Emmy's 2 pea bodies. He does a fair few segments on the USA too. Was that the episode with; Musk, musk's dad, Nazi's, Nazi salutes, Grimes his ill child, his trans daughter and however many kids he has by different people which is something like 15-20?
And yes that is why Musk was against covid lockdowns because his factories would have been shut. He doesn't allow unions either not sure how he gets around that. Nor does he allow free speech as you can see from my last one. He does like the sort of Nazi type free speech stuff though. Its sort of a South African white man apartheid Nazi thing but ties in fine with some of the new Maga. Musk should be every thing Maga hate.
If you cut say Nasa Fed contracts Musk is in an ideal position to tender for all of those too. With all the figures because he and his tesla doge minions copied all databases.
This is a typical day for X dated 7 May 2025 Misleading posts obtaining millions of views on X https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93g3jk39dko
India's strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir have unleashed a wave of misinformation online, with unrelated videos purporting to be from the strikes gaining millions of views.
Dramatic clips debunked by BBC Verify have claimed to show attacks on an Indian army base and an Indian fighter jet shot down in Pakistan.
One video, which had more than 400,000 views on X at the time of writing, claiming to show an explosion caused by a Pakistani response was actually from the 2020 Beirut Port explosion in Lebanon.
An expert told BBC Verify that in moments of heightened tension or dramatic events, misinformation is more likely to spread and fuel distrust and hostility.
"It's very common to see recycled footage during any significant event, not just conflict," Eliot Higgins, the founder of the Bellingcat investigations website, said.
"Algorithmic engagement rewards people who post engaging content, not truthful content, and footage of conflict and disasters is particularly engaging, no matter the truth behind it."
One of the most viral clips, which gained over 3 million views on X in a matter of hours, claimed to show blasts caused by the Indian strikes on Pakistan-administered Kashmir. A search for screengrabs from the video on Google found the footage actually showed Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip on 13 October 2023.

While much of the debunked footage has purported to show the immediate aftermath of the Indian strikes, some clips analysed by BBC Verify appeared to be trying to portray the Pakistani response as being more severe than it actually was.
One video, which has racked up almost 600,000 views on X, claimed to show that the "Pakistan army blew up the Indian Brigade headquarters". The clip, which shows blasts in the darkness, is actually from an unrelated video circulating on YouTube as early as last month.
When Musk realized X was financially unviable he tried to back out of the sale. One reason he cited was Twitter wouldnt tell him how many bot accounts there were, and all those other accounts I mentioned last post.
He has also tweaked X algorithm so all his mad shit shows up to almost everyone. Anything he doesnt like said about him he will have it deleted and those accounts deleted/suspended.

X is reportedly shadow banning accounts that criticise Elon Musk https://www.indy100.com/news/twitter-x-shadow-ban-elon-musk-critics Significantly lower than average engagement can be the result of shadow banning – when an online account is purposely limited, suppressed or blocked from other people’s feeds without their knowledge.
Which is what all dictators do. Adolf Hitler, Putin, Musk, trump, Fico, Modi, Orban, and so on.
