#BREAKING: @elonmusk and Tucker Carlson on the dangers of AI - ongoing interview

(LIVE thread) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Musk says he's worried a hyper-intelligent AI could use Twitter to "manipulate public opinion a way that is very bad"
Top tech minds called @elonmusk a "speciesist" when he expressed his concerns around AI risks to humanity.

A speciesis "is the human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior" 🤦‍♂️😂
@elonmusk #LIVE: Google co-founder Larry Page once told Musk he wants to build a "Digital God" using A.I.
Musk: "What's happening is that they're training the AI to lie" and to withhold information. /5
Musk: "The smartest creatures on this earth are humans. It is our defining characteristic. Now what happens when something vastly smarter than the smartest person comes along in silicon form. It's very difficult to predict what will happen in that circumstance." /6
Musk on Twitter: At the end of the day, if the public finds Twitter to be useful they will use it more, if they find it to be not useful they will use it less.

Based on the growth metrics we're seeing, it seems the vote is YES for more and more people 😎 /7
#LIVE: @elonmusk talking about creating ThruthGPT: "I will try to create a third option, and that third option, hopefully, does more good than harm." /8
@elonmusk Musk: "I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted for Biden. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate."

"I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person for president."

Not sure how people can call @elonmusk a conservative... /9
@elonmusk LIVE: @elonmusk shocked by the unfettered access Gov agencies had to everything on Twitter, including people's DMs.

Scary shit...

For anyone who was keeping up with the #TwitterFiles, this should not come as a surprise.

The good news: Encrypted msgs are coming to Twitter! /10
Musk: The goal of Twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible, not favoring any ideology

Tucker: Why doesn't Facebook do this?

Musk: Zuckerberg spent $400m in the last election in support of the Democrats, is that accurate?

Tucker: Yes that's accurate

Musk: Does that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Musk reduced the Twitter staff size by 80%

Tucker: "How do you run a company with only 20% of the staff?

Musk: It turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. /12

Love him or hate him, he knows how to run a business. I'm inspired to start cutting my own… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
My thoughts on the interview: I'm always the one trying to keep my opinions balanced, never kissing up to Elon and even being critical in many instances. However it's difficult to disagree with much of what is said today.

Here's a very basic summary of the key points and my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE JUDICIARY ACROSS THE WORLD — A THREAD

Across the world, leaders and opposition figures alike are accusing those in power of using the courts as political weapons.

From Imran Khan in Pakistan to Trump in the U.S., from Brazil to Venezuela, the charge is the same: justice turned into a tool of politics.

Let’s break it down 👇🧵Image
1. 🇵🇰 IMRAN KHAN: FROM PRIME MINISTER TO POLITICAL PRISONER

Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former PM, has faced over 150 cases since his 2022 ouster. Charges range from corruption to “terrorism,” even an “un-Islamic” marriage, which alone earned him 7 years in jail.

After the 26th Amendment (Oct 2024), the govt gained the power to handpick judges. Since then, Khan’s fate has been sealed in closed-door trials, denied bail, and rushed convictions, all timed to crush PTI before the 2026 elections.

Now under General Asim Munir’s “Asim Law”, the crackdown has expanded to his entire family:

Imran Khan - imprisoned over 2 years.

Bushra Bibi (wife) - jailed nearly as long.

Sisters - dragged through fabricated cases.

Nephews - tried in military courts, abducted from homes and cars.

This is not justice. It’s collective punishment.

It's a warning from a decadent system: your family is fair game if you dissent.

Instead of breaking Khan, the state has turned him into a symbol of persecution, and his family into martyrs of a system that has weaponized the courts for political retribution.Image
2. 🇺🇸 TRUMP: THE LAWFARE CAMPAIGN TO DERAIL 2024

Across the ocean, America’s 45th and current president faced his own political trial by fire.

Trump has been hit with 70+ charges: business records, classified documents, and election interference. Every indictment timed to collide with his 2024 run.

A judiciary hijacked to stop MAGA at the ballot box.

New York conviction (May 2024): prosecutors used a novel, untested legal theory to secure a guilty verdict.

Documents case: tossed by the court for DOJ overreach, confirming how shaky the charges are.

Judges like Juan Merchan slapped Trump with gag orders while ignoring conflicts of interest.

It’s clear: the Biden DOJ and Democrat-aligned judges were waging a coordinated witch hunt.

For Biden’s team, it was “justice.”

But the effect is the same: America’s choice in 2024 was almost decided in courtrooms, not polling stations.Image

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: NYT JUST DROPPED BOMBSHELL EPSTEIN MANSION PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS

New photos from inside Jeffrey Epstein's 7-story Manhattan lair reveal exactly how he entertained the world's most powerful people while hiding cameras in his bedroom.

The entrance?

Lined with dozens of prosthetic eyeballs.

A sculpture of a bride clutching a rope dangled in the main atrium.

This gets so much worse...👇Image
THE PHOTO WALL OF POWER

Epstein's dining room credenza was a shrine to his connections. Framed photos showed him with:

Pope John Paul II

Mick Jagger

Fidel Castro

Trump and Melania (Ghislaine Maxwell cropped out)

Saudi Crown Prince MBS

Plus a dollar bill signed by Bill Gates saying "I was wrong!"Image

Image
HIS OFFICE HAD A FIRST EDITION "LOLITA" ON DISPLAY

In Epstein's wood-paneled office with a taxidermied tiger on the floor, he showcased a green first edition of Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita."

You know, the novel about an adult who repeatedly rapes a 12-year-old girl.

Just sitting there. On display.

While he hosted dinners with world leaders.Image

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: TRUMP ORDERS RELEASE OF EPSTEIN GRAND JURY RECORDS - HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

🧵👇Image
Image
1/ THE BOMBSHELL ORDER

Trump just directed AG Pam Bondi to unseal ALL grand jury testimony from the Epstein case.

After months of empty promises, we're finally getting... something.

Bondi filed petitions Friday in Southern District of New York for BOTH Epstein's 2019 case AND Maxwell's 2020 indictment.

But here's the catch...Image
2/ WHY GRAND JURY RECORDS MATTER (AND WHY THEY'RE SEALED)

Grand juries hear evidence in SECRET before indictments.

No defense lawyers allowed. Lower standard than trials.

They're sealed to protect the innocent and get truthful testimony.

Breaking that seal requires a judge's approval - and good reason.

Rule 6(e) governs this. Violating it = contempt of court.Image

🧵🇺🇸 THE MARIONETTE MASTER UNMASKED: CHINESE BILLIONAIRE'S FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER ANTI-TRUMP UPRISING

What looked like spontaneous community outrage was actually a sophisticated operation funded by foreign interests.

Now Congress is investigating and the truth is explosive...
Image
2/ THE SPARK THAT LIT THE FUSE

June 6, 2025: ICE conducts massive raids across LA, arresting 118 undocumented immigrants.

Within hours, "spontaneous" protests erupted with professional signs, coordinated messaging, and tactical organization.

Nothing about this response was random.

Everything was pre-planned...
3/ THE ORGANIZERS REVEALED

Multiple verified sources confirm the protests were orchestrated by:

-Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL)

-Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA)

-Unión del Barrio

-Community Self-Defense Coalition

Gabriel Quiroz Jr. (Centro CSO): "We have a rapid response network in place with our allies, and we will continue to organize and mobilize when we see ICE activity."
