1/5 Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine (he really doesn't want you to verify facts!) Image
2/5 Elon Musk has once again criticized Wikipedia and urged his followers to stop donating to the platform. He previously made an offer to purchase Wikipedia, and it seems that offer is still on the table. Image
3/5 Musk seems determined to hinder Americans' ability to easily verify facts or access information. He appears willing to do whatever it takes to make many Americans even more unaware than they already are. Image
4/5 Now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia to ensure it remains as it is and doesn't get purchased by a far-right oligarch who would transform it into a Kremlin propaganda tool. Image
5/5 Sources:
NY Post - Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
The Economic Times - Elon Musk’s $1 Billion Offer to Wikipedia Still Stands Image

1/5 How to accelerate the end of the war:

If we want russia’s invasion of Ukraine to end faster, we can’t just help Ukraine survive.

We need to make the war costlier for russia.

That means going beyond defense.

Here’s how👇 Image
2/5 Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities need more funding and technological support.

They must be able to hit the energy infrastructure fueling russia’s war.

This isn’t escalation—it’s deterrence.

russia must feel the cost of its aggression at home Image
3/5 Sanctions must go further—and be enforced much better.

We have made progress on the shadow fleet, but loopholes remain.

Every barrel of oil sold funds missiles.

Every weak sanction is a green light to keep killing Image

1/4 The top 3 biggest enablers of russia’s war on Ukraine:

They don’t all wear uniforms—but they all have blood on their hands.

Without them, Putin’s war machine would have collapsed long ago Image
2/4 china and russia’s other allies:

china, iran, north korea, and belarus have kept russia alive—helping it reroute exports, dodge sanctions, and sending weapons, tech, even soldiers.

Without them, russia’s economy and military would be in freefall.

Shame on them! Image
3/4 Western traitors and cowards:

From Trump to Orban to Fico, some Western leaders have slowed aid, softened sanctions, and echoed Kremlin propaganda.

They have sabotaged unity and emboldened Putin.

Their betrayal is costing lives.

Real traitors and cowards 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
