What? Elon Musk is paying people to sign up for his Trump PAC. I thought vote buying was illegal. Image
Here's the law. 👇 Image
This could be considered payment for registering to vote. I signed up as Karen LooneyTunes to see what would happen, and the next page makes it look like you have to register to vote to get the $47. Image
Providing any incentives (even cookies!) for registering to vote is illegal. Image

This is some of the best intelligence work and reporting I've read in a long time. Elon, of course, doesn't want you to read it, so I'm including a gift link further down so he won't censor it.

These are all Russian spies posing as Brazilians. 👇 Image
They were discovered by U.S. counterintelligence in 2022, back when it wasn't run by Trump's people, who promote Russia.

One of these spies was set to be hired at the ICC, where he could prevent Putin from being accused of war crimes. 2/
They were tracked by the same organization in Brazil that investigated Bolsonaro's coup attempt.

The spies were able to acquire legitimate Brazilian birth certificates due to a loophole in the system.

Then they traveled. 3/

"I’ve been next to suicide attacks. I’ve been the target of an Al-Qaeda plot to kidnap me. And throughout all of this, I felt that my sacrifices meant something. What I found in the last two weeks is, not only do those sacrifices not matter, but that we’re vilified without any evidence or reason for that." 2/

"Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government... Housed on a secure mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy." 2/ wired.com/story/elon-mus…
Yikes. A 25-year-old who was hired last week now has access to one-fifth of the U.S. economy. 3/

It indeed appears that Siqi Chen dumped a half million dollars into Trump's wallet. Image
Trump's wallet now has close to $200 billion in it. This is the account that owns 80% of Trump's meme coin. It's a money vacuum for Trump. 2/ Image
Anyone know who owns these accounts? Trump got $83M and $148M from them in the last day. 3/ Image

I've only read Jack Smith's cover letter and already want to cry. We have to believe that what he did matters. 🧵 Image
Trump lied to state officials to get them to sign up as fake electors with the intent of causing havoc on J6 to "seize power." 2/ Image
