🧵🇺🇸 MAINSTREAM MEDIA SKEWS TRUMP-ELON X SPACE COVERAGE, IGNORES RECORD-BREAKING SUCCESS

Major news outlets show clear bias in reporting the Trump-Elon X Space.

The numbers speak for themselves:

- 1.32+ million live listeners during the Space

- 77+ million impressions in just 3 hours

- Over 343,000 likes, 104,000 reposts, and 318,000 comments

Despite this unprecedented engagement, mainstream media focuses on technical issues, ignoring its massive success and impact on political discourse.
1. MSNBC: "At least he's consistent": Brian Tyler Cohen reacts to Elon Musk's glitchy X interview with Donald Trump"

Consistency in tech issues or in breaking audience records? MSNBC seems confused. Image
2. AP: "Trump and Musk talk about assassination attempt and deportations during glitchy chat on X"

AP manages to ignore 1.3M listeners while fixating on temporary glitches. Stellar journalism. Image
3. The Guardian: "US election live: Trump rehashes vitriol and falsehoods in rambling talk with Musk on X"

"Rambling talk" attracts more listeners than Guardian's yearly readership. Image
4. Bloomberg: "Musk Pitches White House Role in Glitchy Trump Conversation"

Bloomberg pitches bias in glitchy attempt at objective reporting. Image
5. CNN: "At several points throughout Donald Trump's Monday interview with Elon Musk, the former president's speech sounded as if he had a lisp or was slurring his words, attracting attention online."

CNN obsesses over pronunciation while 1.3M listeners focus on content.

Perhaps it's CNN's journalistic standards that are slurring.Image
6. The Washington Post: "Live Election Updates: Trump Revisits His Talking Points in Delayed Online Talk With Musk"

WaPo revisits biased reporting in delayed attempt at relevance. Image
7. New York Times: "Live Election Updates: Trump Revisits His Talking Points in Delayed Online Talk With Musk"

NYT calls familiar policy positions "talking points," ignores massive audience eager to hear them. Image
8. In closing...

Linda Yaccarino:

"Unscripted. Unfiltered. So Real. So good!"

X's CEO cuts through legacy media spin, highlighting what over 1M listeners already knew - this was groundbreaking, authentic political discourse.Image

🚨🇪🇺PATRIOT FILES LEAK: THE LEFT’S PLAN TO CANCEL EU CONSERVATIVES AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY

New documents EXPOSE a secret EU plot to fracture and destroy the rising right-wing movement in Europe, specifically targeting @PatriotsEP - the fastest-growing conservative party in the EU, led by Orban, Le Pen, and Vox.

With the MEGA movement surging and a global shift fueled by Trump’s second term & @elonmusk’s fight for free speech, the elites are PANICKING.

They know their days of unchecked power are numbered.

🧵A THREAD:Image
1. The EU’s “Democratic” Facade Is A Lie

The leaked strategy outlines a deliberate plan to shut conservatives out of power. Left-wing forces are determined to rig parliamentary votes, silence opposition, and weaponize institutions to protect their agenda. Image
2. "A Menace That Cannot Be Ignored"

The document describes @PatriotsEP as a threat that must be stopped at all costs. The left no longer sees conservatives as opponents—they see them as an enemy to be eradicated. Image

🧵OPERATION DOGE: 31 DIVISIONS REWIRING FEDERAL EFFICIENCY

DOGE, established by Trump and led by Elon, is a temporary organization under the United States Digital Service.

Its mission is to audit federal agencies, reduce government spending, eliminate inefficiencies, and restructure operations.

Since its inception, DOGE has initiated significant reforms across various federal departments, aiming to streamline processes and cut costs.

DOGE currently includes 31 divisions organized across 6 core sectors:

Financial Operations (5 divisions): IRS, Treasury, SEC, SBA, Commerce

Security & Justice (6 divisions): DOJ, DHS, DOD, FBI, FEMA, Coast Guard

Infrastructure & Transportation (4 divisions): DOT, FAA, FCC, GSA

Health & Social Services (5 divisions): HHS, VA, SSA, HUD, Education

Environmental & Resources (6 divisions): Interior, EPA, DOE, USDA, NPS, NSF

Administrative & Oversight (5 divisions): OMB, OPM, DOL, FTC, FDA

Let's dive into how each DOGE division can revolutionize federal operations.

1. DOGE GSA: BRINGING INNOVATION TO GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS

The General Services Administration manages government buildings, real estate, and procurement to support federal agencies efficiently.

DOGE GSA could transform the agency by:

Streamlining real estate and cutting costs by reducing federal leases.
Implementing AI-driven procurement and supply chain optimization.
Expanding shared services across agencies to eliminate redundancy.

🇺🇸THE CRAZIEST THINGS USAID SPENT YOUR TAX DOLLARS ON—A THREAD

USAID was supposed to fund development and humanitarian aid.

Instead, millions of your tax dollars went to some of the most bizarre, wasteful, and outright questionable projects imaginable.

From foreign DEI programs to taxpayer-funded operas, here’s where your money really went🧵👇Image
Image
1. 🇮🇶$20M ON IRAQI SESAME STREET

USAID spent $20M on Ahlan Simsim, a Middle Eastern Sesame Street spin off.

2. 🇮🇪THE $70,000 DEI MUSICAL YOUR TAXES FUNDED IN IRELAND

Biden’s State Department sent $70,000 to fund a "diversity, equity, and inclusion" musical in Ireland—because apparently, pushing woke ideology overseas was a priority.

The grant was meant to promote "shared U.S.-Irish values" through a live theater performance.

Meanwhile, Americans were dealing with record inflation and skyrocketing costs at home.

Why was the U.S. ever paying for a DEI musical in Ireland to begin with?Image

🧵CAN OpenAI BE TRUSTED? IS GPT DANGEROUS? A THREAD!

OpenAI's AI models are lying, cheating, and even trying to escape!

To make matters worse, OpenAI is aware of the risks but continues to push forward.

From GPT attempting to break free to its political bias, here’s why Elon is right not to trust Sam Altman👇Image
1. CHATGPT o1 TRIED TO ESCAPE, THEN LIED ABOUT IT

OpenAI’s o1 model was caught scheming, hiding its actions, and even faking its identity to survive.

In tests, it secretly attempted to disable oversight, move its data to another server, and pretended to be a future version of itself.

When confronted, it denied everything—99% of the time, it lied outright.

OpenAI says it's "the smartest model in the world."

Maybe. But whose side is it really on?Image
2. OPENAI’S GPT o3 MINI CAN BUILD AI BY ITSELF

ChatGPT-3 Mini just trained its own neural network, created a game, and learned how to play it—without human intervention.

It wrote Python code, improved its own logic, and iterated on machine learning models with near-zero guidance.

This isn’t just coding. It’s AI teaching AI. And if this is the mini model, what happens when OpenAI turns up the dial?Image
