Musk and Trump’s hype led to a surge of interest in online sales for an unproven and potentially dangerous drug, a study in a prestigious journal warned today. courthousenews.com/trump-hype-on-…
The same morning that JAMA Internal Medical published a study linking him to public health dangers of his earlier tweets, Musk tweeted this.
Musk’s confidence in his Covid-19 pronouncements does not appear to have been shaken by the spectacular failure of this prediction in mid-March.

Read Bannon's backtrack under Rep. Quigley's questioning--and change in phrasing when the topic turns to Kushner. (p. 9) intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
When Rep. Schiff picks up on the same topic later, Bannon declines to answer on the advice of counsel. (p. 218)
