I once outed fraud and Likud spy Eric Weinstein a few years ago. charlesjohnson.substack.com/p/fraud-or-spy… Today we are going to do Lex Fridman. Image
Fridman has a lot of unaccounted for time. Nine years between high school graduation and university graduation. Image
We’ve already discussed how Fridman is probably a Likud spy and an academic fraud.
Just as Fridman’s PhD is fake from a disreputable university so too is his postdoctoral associate position. Who paid for this? Image
Who is behind this fellowship? Image
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… Image
What is this AgeLab’s position Fridman is associated with? ImageImage
What is this Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium that Fridman is involved with? Image
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…
More evidence that Fridman is a fraud. thedrive.com/tech/27359/mit… Image
I'm going to make an educated guess here that AgeLab got conned into bringing Lex Fridman in, and then canned him when he just became a joke.
Lex Fridman was just pumping out pro-Tesla studies. This is just a Tesla press release with MIT branding. web.archive.org/web/2018072522…
The video here is just a Tesla advertisement. web.archive.org/web/2018060410…
They just seem to have set up cameras on cars and then filmed things. A hell of a lot of icing and very little cake here. arxiv.org/pdf/1711.06976… Image
This paper is just pure narcissism. arxiv.org/pdf/1810.01835…
Like what is this @lexfridman ? ImageImageImage
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 🧵
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
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"? Image

We are continuing to expose #IDFatX

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. Image
We checked her LinkedIn so you don’t have to.
Image
Image
Interestingly Totchani is a huge proponent of DEI… does Elon know? Image

Israeli interesting how the defense system went down. Maybe we should stop buying defective Israeli technology!? A 🧵

Image
Image
There’s a long, long history of Israelis selling us compromised military equipment. calcalistech.com/ctechnews/arti…
We need a full audit of Israeli technology within American systems, especially in light of the failure at the fence in Gaza. Image

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)


Image

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)
PS. Zach is not the only IDF agent around Elon…

It’s New Year’s for the civilized world but IDF agent has been celebrating earlier this year with a chicken. 🐓

See if her voice sounds familiar?
Clarissa Goldemberg was born in Quebec. She is French Canadian. Her dad is Romanian. She takes tasking from IDF in spaces — a crime under FARA.

More to come…
