Just as Fridman’s PhD is fake from a disreputable university so too is his postdoctoral associate position. Who paid for this?
Who is behind this fellowship?
My guess is that it has a lot to do with this $10m donation from Elon Musk to the Future of Life which was set up by MIT professor Max Tegmark who was the first guest on Fridman’s podcast. techcrunch.com/2015/01/15/elo…
What is this AgeLab’s position Fridman is associated with?
What is this Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium that Fridman is involved with?
Fridman is listed as research alumni but I don't see much of anything else about him, except that written by himself. mit-agelab.netlify.app/blog/tesla-fsd…
Seems Reimer and Fridman were working together. Reimer seems like the real deal (calling out Tesla), while Lex dropped of the radar there because he is clearly a fraud. Might be worth reaching out to Reimer for the background on Lex's time there. news.mit.edu/2017/mit-agela…
Here Fridman is on a paper that has Reimer's name. Lex is the only one with contact details added. It is just more "we put cameras in a car." arxiv.org/pdf/1710.04459…

I don’t want President Trump to win the presidency but I am struck by several things from my own experiences with Michael Cohen as Trump’s trial goes on:
I was standing next to Cohen when Trump won in 2016. He seemed absolutely miserable about his client winning. Why? 1/x
I suspect it was because Cohen knew that his operations were going to get considerably more attention. These included working for a Russian oligarch name of Viktor Vekselberg, who had backed Gawker. 2/x
Vekselberg lost millions when Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan and I bankrupted Gawker. Cohen later called Thiel and asked Thiel not to continue pursuing Gawker in the bankruptcy courts. 3/x
We are continuing our series on #IDFatX. Please meet Roey Bayer.
Born & raised in Israel Bayer served in IDF Special Naval Forces.
His entire job history is companies in Israel... until he joined X’s Dublin office, which is a nest of Israeli activity. A 🧵
We’ve often seen how Israelis use adtech to fund their ops. (See @nandoodles’s work here.)
Bayer’s role at Twitter’s ad department is worth noting. Roey is a Client Partner at Twitter/X where his sole focus is helping Israeli advertisers with their reach & engagement.
Israeli interesting what's happening at the Twitter's Dublin office. Why is Roey hellbent on recruiting Israelis? Why does Twitter — which is struggling with revenue — even have an "Israeli market team"?
Michal Totchani, currently the Senior Policy Trust & Safety at Twitter/X, was not only an Intelligence Commander in the IDF but also worked in the National Security Council for Netanyahu in 2015.
She is now a content moderator at Twitter.
We checked her LinkedIn so you don’t have to.
Interestingly Totchani is a huge proponent of DEI… does Elon know?
Did you know an Israeli military intelligence officer runs Twitter’s Trust & Safety?
Meet Zach Schapira.
Recently several pro-Israel trolls tried to get my account suspended but Zach stopped it because Johnson “belongs to US intelligence” and Musk worried I’d respond. (1/2)
We’ve already discussed how Israeli asset Ben Shapiro is running Musk but the presence of more Israelis in decision making at X suggests an intelligence operation. (2/2)
