Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that’s more than enough. It’s okay to take it one day at a time.

New on WSJ: Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. At one point, Putin asked him to avoid activating his Starlink internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request

What the @WSJ investigation inexplicably leaves out—while confirming Elon Musk is an unregistered foreign agent of Russia and in violation of the Logan Act—is that Musk purchased Twitter with financing from the children of sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Why wasn't this mentioned? dw.com/en/what-do-xs-alleged…

BREAKING: Turns out Elon’s also been chatting with Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff—the same guy the U.S. Justice Department called out for creating over 30 internet domains to pump Russian disinformation.
And where were they spreading it?
Right on Musk’s X, aiming to undermine support for Ukraine and manipulate American voters ahead of the election.
What else is Elon letting slide while cozying up to Putin’s crew?

Elon has also been talking to Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff, who "the U.S. Justice Department said in an affidavit.... had created some 30 internet domains to spread Russian disinformation, including on Musk’s X, where it was meant to erode support for Ukraine and manipulate American voters ahead of the presidential election." wsj.com/world/russia/musk-pu…

WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”
Now instead of racist American CHUDs filling my feed, it's racist Canadian CHUDs. What the fuck is this algorithm?

(📣) The President of Brazil has issued a statement about Twitter:
“The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.”
RETWEET if you agree. theguardian.com/world/articl…
