Just saw this 2018 story on CA-based Grabr, founded by Daria Rebenok & Artem Fedyaev

Funders include

Peter Thiel's Founders Fund

Konstantin Nikolaev, Russian railroad billionaire & Maria Butina funder

Alexey Repik, Russian pharmaceutical magnate, attended Trump inauguration
Noticed 👆 while searching for news on Alexey Repik, who @MacFinn44 brought to my attention as he frequently tracks his flights. Repik's plane was in Maine recently (Rohrabacher now lives there, though there's no indication of any links between the two)

Interesting, also HT @MacFinn44 - Rohrabacher's company registered to lobby for Linear Therapies related to COVID-19

Some more details about Rohrabacher's latest gig and links to Stone and Giuliani from @MountainsStars

Early 2020 Dana Rohrabacher lobbied VP Pence for coronavirus company Linear Therapies, whose president Tim Yale has known Rohrabacher for 20 yrs

Yale worked for super PAC started by Roger Stone

Yale partnered w/Giuliani on documentary on Hunter Biden

ocregister.com/2020/06/03/dan…
Firm Rohrabacher lobbied for earlier this year also has links to Flynn

"Also on the Linear Therapies team as vice president is Phil Oakley. He’s a former Army intelligence analyst who worked with Michael Flynn’s lobbying firm Flynn Intel Group"

ocregister.com/2020/06/03/dan…
I can't find incorporation info for Linear Therapies, but the tel # on their website

lineartherapies.com

Is same # listed for Linear Therapies VP Phil Oakley, at the company i3federal where Oakley is a sales exec

Oakley is also founder of i3 LLC

i3federal.com/wordpressi3fed…
Michael Flynn was a consultant for Phil Oakley's I3 Integrative Creative Solutions, LLC

projects.propublica.org/trump-town/org…

opencorporates.com/companies/us_v…
Phil Oakley, former Flynn Intel Group partner, and working w/Tim Yale at Linear Therapies (hired Rohrabacher as lobbyist) - runs i3 Integrative Creative Solutions, which announced 2017 agreement w/Bravatek on GSA govt contract

bravatek.com/bravatek-execu…
In April 2020 the SEC temporarily suspended Bravatek trading because of questions on accuracy of statements BVTK made in press releases and social media posts, regarding third party tests of partner (Z System) disinfectant against COVID-19

sec.gov/litigation/sus…
In 2018 thread @patrickLSimpson wrote about Bravatek CEO Thomas Cellucci

Bravatek was previously Ecrypt Technologies until 2015

Cellucci became CEO in 2014, Curt Weldon was Chairman of Ecrypt's board from 2011 until 2015, when Cellucci took his role

In June 2020 Phil Oakley's i3 Federal was awarded nearly $10 million contract by HHS, without competition, for data-sharing platform for tracking its pandemic relief payments & grants to health care providers

fedscoop.com/hhs-cares-act-…
Phil Oakley also runs Quaestor Federal Consulting, LLC, where Flynn was an advisor

Rumors have been swirling that Elon Musk may donate $100 million to Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party - in a small scoop, I report Musk has just incorporated X. AI London Ltd, showing he is 'reaching across the pond' on multiple fronts, my latest:
newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…
Last week Musk met with Nigel Farage and Reform’s party treasurer Nick Candy at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

Filings on UK Companies House show that this month Musk also incorporated X . AI London Ltd

xAI has raised nearly $12 billion and is valued at $50 billion
newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…
Earlier this year I reported the first $6bil funding round for xAI included $400 million from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud and Kingdom Holding (per June 2024 financial statement). That amount has likely increased with the latest financing round.

A🧵on Ryan Girdusky (banned by CNN for racist remark inciting violence) and financial links to Leonard Leo

In 2022 a nonprofit closely linked to Leo called The Concord Fund gave $270K to Girdusky's nonprofit and Leo's Marble Trust paid $888K to a firm run by Girdusky's relatives Image
In 2022 the Concord Fund (formerly JCN) run by Ann Corkery gave $270,000 to Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project. Ann & husband Neil are tied closely to Leonard Leo. Neil is CFO of Leo's for profit CRC Advisors which The Concord Fund has paid over $20mil
projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…Image
Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project nonprofit filing for 2022 shows total contributions of $210,000 - less than $270,000 in The Concord Fund filing (perhaps due payment timing) but it appears the Leo-linked fund may fully support Girdusky's nonprofit

NEW: Elon Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC has spent $144 million and over 40% went to Phil Cox - I analyzed FEC filings and found that $61.7 million was paid to firms linked to former GOP and DeSantis operative Phil Cox, who helps run America PAC, my latest:
newstracs.com/musks-america-…
America PAC received $140 million and Musk funded $118.5 million

Betsy DeVos, Trump’s former Secretary of Education and sister of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, donated $250,000 and with 6 members of the DeVos family provided $2 million to Musk’s PAC

newstracs.com/musks-america-…
America PAC has made $144 million in payments - of those $136 million are independent expenditures - payments to influence a federal election that support or oppose specific candidates

88% of expenditures were to support Trump or oppose Harris or Biden
