Anyone have any luck finding a cable news report on the #TrumpCoupPlot—likely the single biggest news story in America since Pearl Harbor?

It's in THE ATLANTIC, it's in VANITY FAIR, it's in NEW YORK MAGAZINE—but if it's elsewhere, I'm missing it.

What the *hell* is media doing?
PS/ With a story of this magnitude, news outlets *will* want to run down their own sources. But—*but*—the Atlantic report can still be reported on as an "unconfirmed" (by a given outlet) "Atlantic report," and the Atlantic had some non-anonymous sources, so what's taking so long?
PS2/ Kudos to Chris Hayes of MSNBC (@chrislhayes) doing a report on this, and thanks to readers here for noting it. I'll look it up now. Let me know if anyone but Chris covered it.
PS3/ Apparently MSNBC has been on it. I've been watching CNN and reading the major newspapers. Please note that the CNN report I tweeted a screenshot of earlier is a *different* report—it is *not* the #TrumpCoupPlot report I am asking about media coverage of here.
PS4/ I'm watching MSNBC cover this—and thrilled to see it. But keep in mind: this is Pearl Harbor–level news. This should be breaking news in every media outlet in the U.S. now and every day through November 3. We should see this *everywhere* and *wall-to-wall* right *now*.

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher.

And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo.

There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.
Stepped away from Twitter for a number of hours—on the basis of this not being a platform worth spending time on—and came back to find this tweet went viral because Nate Silver thinks Carlyle's 1800s theory of history, the Great Man Theory, is still relevant to historians in 2025
I understand the MAGAsphere runs on dudes who stayed at a Holiday Inn last night and are now expert astrophysicists, but another possibility is Musk's biographers know him better than fanboys do, and historians know more than pollsters about history.

I mean I'm just an American lawyer, so what do I know compared to a nepo baby whose money initially came from Zambian emerald mines, but under the United States Constitution and the thousands of Supreme Court decisions interpreting it for 250 years, free speech is *not* absolute
And I guess I would add to that, @ElonMusk, that if you don't know what I just said already, while you do not *have* to shut the f*** up under the First Amendment, you absolutely *should* shut the f*** up until you know what the f*** you're talking about, you *petulant man-child*
@elonmusk MAGAism is feelings over facts

All I ever hear Trump voters say is not what is true by law but what they think *should* be true, not actually how anything works but how they *wish* it would work

When you are poorly educated and know nothing, all you have is your Big Feelings

If you wonder why civil commitment statutes exist, the extremely dangerous derangement Musk is exhibiting publicly is why

He's now accused multiple federal agencies of being criminal operations, accused many federal officials of being criminals, and seems to believe he is POTUS
America is watching the mental collapse of the richest man on Earth in real time—and it's only a question of how many markets collapse, how many millions of people lose their jobs, and how many people die due to his actions before someone who cares about him tries to get him help
Clearly not one member of his family is willing to get off the gravy train to stand up to him and tell him that he needs to get off drugs, take a break from public life, and be hospitalized for a period of time

His employees know he is deranged but are obviously terrified of him

(📢) NEW at PROOF: This is my most important report on Elon Musk as a Musk biographer.

Read this and you’ll understand the man.

“Two Essays From Longtime Musk Friends Have Just Revealed Musk’s Supervillain Origin Story” (🔗):

Warning: dark stuff inside. sethabramson.substack.com/p/two-viral-es…Image
(Elon is throttling this feed. If you want anyone to see this new report, please RETWEET the post above.)
1/ One of the things that most surprised me about these revelations is how a number of them relate to the current nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the support Elon Musk has for it. As well as the support he had for Kennedy becoming President of the United States.

Here it is: the new PROOF report on Musk. Massive, fully sourced, horrifying. The silver lining is that what Musk is up to and what he wants is becoming clearer.

🔗:

Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with caring about children—he doesn’t and never has. sethabramson.substack.com/p/elon-musk-ma…Image
1/ What I want to underscore about my work as an Elon Musk biographer is that it’s never my intention to suggest Mr. Musk is playing 4D chess.

To be a Musk biographer not writing hagiographies is to be singularly unimpressed with his apparent average intelligence. But that said:
2/ When you’re the richest and most powerful man on Earth, the field that you’re playing on—not as a matter of how you play it—is just different.

Elon Musk has resources that no one else can imagine, and therefore he is able to have ambitions that few others could or would dare.

This motherf***** couldn't tell you what DEI is if his f****** life depended on it

Stop paying attention to people who have no f****** expertise in the s*** they are talking about

Just because someone says something that makes you feel good does not mean it has f****** value
America is in the shitter because we have people who have never read the Constitution talking about the Constitution, people who do not know what the Second Amendment says talking about the Second Amendment, and people pretending to know what Marxism and socialism are who do not.
Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about CRT know what it is.

Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about the Green New Deal know what it is.

MAGA is weakness. It is foisting your stupidity on the world because you simply cannot face it.
