1/10 The pieces are coming together: the richest man in the world backs Trump in every possible way, including illegal ones, while both of them promote Kremlin talking points and have secret communications with the Kremlin at the same time. Coincidence? I don't think so! Image
2/10 As stated by @wartranslated, the pieces are coming together. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed official sources, that Elon Musk has been in regular communication with russian President Vladimir Putin and other Kremlin officials since late 2022. Image
3/10 Musk initially backed Ukraine, but his perspective began to change in 2022, increasingly leaning towards pro-russian views and aligning with russian talking points. Image
4/10 Musk is known to be an unstable pathological liar, and although he asserted a few months ago that he was not endorsing any candidate, he is now fully backing Trump, utilizing his platform X and making significant financial contributions. Image
5/10 Trump has secretly maintained communication with Putin since losing the 2020 election, while unlawfully retaining classified documents at his residence. Additionally, he has surrounded himself with pro-russian individuals, including those on his transition team. Image
6/10 Trump was already problematic in 2016, but he has changed for the worse since then. His current team is composed of isolationists who act in the interests of russia and china. By 2024, there appear to be no rational or honest individuals remaining in Trump's circle. Image
7/10 Trump is now strongly supported by a group of pro-russian, anti-democratic south african oligarchs. While they cannot hold the presidency themselves as they were not born in the US, they can exert influence over the country through Trump and Vance. Image
8/10 Both Trump and Musk share pro-russian talking points, have had access to classified information, and maintain secret communications with the Kremlin. Doesn’t that seem suspicious? This issue deserves much more attention. Image
9/10 For those closely monitoring these individuals, this event comes as no surprise. It's a positive development that they are being exposed. Both Musk and Trump pose significant risks to the United States and the entire world, as they are essentially puppets of the Kremlin. Image

1/4 The war’s biggest enabler?

Elvira Nabiullina might be the most important reason russia hasn’t collapsed economically.

While Putin wages an unsustainable war, she’s kept the system afloat.

She’s not just russia’s central banker—she’s the regime’s economic firewall Image
2/4 russia is full of corrupt, incompetent officials.

Nabiullina is the opposite: competent, disciplined, and effective.

Despite sanctions, labor shortages, and runaway spending, she’s avoided hyperinflation and kept the ruble from imploding Image
3/4 Her competence comes at a cost.

By stabilizing russia’s economy, she enables the war.

She’s not just a technocrat—she’s a pillar of a system committing atrocities.

As @OAlexanderDK noted: if Ukraine had targeted her two years ago, the war might look different today Image

1/9 🇷🇺🇫🇷⚠️

russia’s influence in France isn’t just about spies, politicians, or bots.

It’s also about TV hosts, media moguls, and talking heads who normalize Kremlin narratives.

A thread on how russian propaganda is quietly thriving in French media: Image
2/9 Vincent Bolloré - the media mogul behind CNews, Europe 1, and the JDD. He is russia’s most useful media ally in France.

His outlets have taken a sharp right turn and often downplay the russian threat. An Élysée advisor even called Europe 1 ”Radio KGB.” Dangerous and powerful Image
3/9 Cyril Hanouna - France’s most watched TV host.

On his shows, russian disinformation is aired unchallenged.

He’s not just entertainment—he’s a major platform to normalize Kremlin disinformation and conspiracy theories Image

1/5 Meet the wannabe Antichrist:

Peter Thiel has warned us about the Antichrist.
But what if it's him? He'd love that.

A billionaire oligarch with deep influence, extremely radical ideas, and a vision for the future that should terrify you Image
2/5 Thiel is part of the PayPal mafia with Elon Musk and David Sacks.

He bankrolls far-right candidates.

He idolizes Curtis Yarvin—a monarchist who’s openly pro-authoritarian and pro-russian.

Thiel once said:

”I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” Image
3/5 One of his companies, Palantir, is everywhere:

- Defense contracts
- Surveillance tech
- Battlefied AI

Yes, Palantir helps Ukraine—but Thiel funds the very voices who undermine it.

He’s building the tools of empire while backing those who’d break democracy Image
