Okay, I found the video. Here is Elon Musk unambiguously flashing the White Power sign on SNL to see if he could get away with it, exactly like he did with his Nazi salute this January. You can see Musk delivers a line not on the prompter—"Call me the DOGE-father"—which generates laughs from those in his audience part of his 4chan fanbase, and it’s then he 1) flashes the OK symbol—a 4chan game—after which he 2) _reverses his hands_ to flash the White Power sign.

As Donald Trump leads America down the path to becoming a failed state, we have lost 24/7 weather services in parts of the country. Along with massive deterioration in Social Security services caused by Musk, American decline at the hands of billionaires couldn't be more stark. Image Some of us have understood a long time that billionaires are weird, venal, antisocial, detached, often sociopathic creatures who can't be trusted to care about the nations that made them, let alone average citizens.

And some of us blindly worship these creatures.

Which are you?

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk.

So shall we get started? To be very clear, I'm not saying that there is a single federal elected official within the Republican Party who believes in this country or cares about this country or honors our rule of law and would vote to impeach.

I am saying that fact must be the national conversation now.

(📢) BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump and Elon Musk Friend/Ally Vladimir Putin Has Eyes, Brain, and Larynx Ripped Out of Captured and Tortured Ukrainian Journalist; MAGA Hero Putin Returns Journalist's Body in Condition Almost Impossible to Identify As Female theguardian.com/world/2025/apr… Journalists must stop playing games with American fascism.

The Trump Administration is a congregation of monsters, and it seeks to appeal to a voting base that is either already wholly monstrous or getting there.

If you cannot see what's happening in America, *quit journalism*.

(📢) COMMUNITY NOTE: The human population is growing—rapidly. It's projected to keep growing for many decades, until at least 2100. Then it will decline slightly, per experts, but to a level still far beyond now. What Musk MEANS but refuses to SAY is WHITE fertility is declining. Image Let me be much clearer: anyone who says they are worried about the human population declining is a white supremacist.

The only basis anyone could have for being worried about birth rates would be a bigoted fear of non-white persons significantly outnumbering whites.

Full stop.

Hi, I speak Trump Administration fluently and am here to help.

What Steven is saying is that Trump has recently lost weight because he's suffering from a major medical event and ongoing serious medical condition he's hiding from voters.

Just invert the words and you've got it. Image The other thing to remember about speaking Trump Administration is that the angrier they are, the more important the truth they're speaking by shouting the opposite of it is. So apparently this medical condition is really really bad, and the White House is really scared about it.

Hey, @PeteHegseth, just because you were born a shitheel doesn't mean you have to spend your life as one. Accept that you have a problem with drinking and women and that the job you now hold is way beyond you. Accept also that it's on *you* for taking the job, not on anyone else. Pete needs family and therapy, not one of the highest-stress jobs on Earth. He doesn't engage in self-care because he's such a narcissist that he can't accept his flaws. His anger is self-loathing, his accusations are projection, and he doesn't have the heart of a public servant.

(🚨) COMMUNITY NOTE: All of this is a lie being told by a would-be dictator to obscure the fact that he is kidnapping and exiling US residents without due process. This image is crudely doctored, and no court has ever found Garcia to be an MS-13 member or that he harmed his wife. 1/ Garcia *fled* from gang violence in El Salvador when he was a minor, with a federal court finding in 2019 that he was non-removable to El Salvador on the grounds that he is a *victim* of gang violence likely to be killed if returned El Salvador.

He is a permanent US resident.

This was a potential outcome discussed at length in my pinned report.

The Court demands signs of effort but not a result—a win for the Trump administration, as it appears to confirm its theory that Bukele has control over anyone on his soil.

This is bad. cnn.com/2025/04/10/pol… Do be careful in reading analysis of this case. Casual observers who aren't familiar with it will tell you this was a win for Garcia—and it certainly will be if Trump and his pal in El Salvador decide to save his life. But as a matter of the law going forward, this is a disaster.

OMG... it was all AI.

They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves.

It almost feels... impeachable?

How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office? theverge.com/news/642620/tr… This explains everything. The bad tariff math, placing tariffs on uninhabited islands, the odd errors that keep popping up in administration texts, the fact that Musk has said he wants to replace the humans in our government with AI, the fact that he *runs an AI company*.... JFC!

Musk is now a bigger fount for toxic, self-aggrandizing bullshit than P.T. Barnum ever was.

He’s an utter 🤡—and that’s both a historical and provable fact. There’s nothing non-journalistic about observing when a man has become infamous for his rank nonsense and foolish gambits. Image But that’s only the start of the story.

PROOF has outlined—with full sourcing—how Musk for years avoided politics on the advice of his father, and for years avoided revealing his far-right ideologies for fear they would destroy his business empire.

He was right. It’s happening.

Musk has been told—repeatedly—that this is a lie. The global population is rising and will continue to rise until 2100, then it’ll decline slightly. Many countries, JUST NOT MAJORITY WHITE ONES, have over-replacement birth rates. Musk focuses on a small number of white nations. So no, there are NO experts in this field who agree humanity is dying. There are NO experts who have a longterm underpopulation concern. There are NO experts who agree with Musk. The ONLY people concerned are white supremacists who worry white nations may become SLIGHTLY smaller.

(🧵1/3) Time to clear some things up.

1. Elon Musk has many biographers; none are “official.”
2. I’m a Musk biographer; I don’t use Musk as a source because he’s a known pathological liar.
3. My second Musk biography (first is below) arrives in 2026.

(🧵2/3)

4. Grok is aware I’m a Musk biographer, as is the world (see my bio excerpt below, from my website). But Grok, by Musk’s design, sometimes struggles to access Substack—which confuses it about my status.
5. I’m a multiple-time NYT-bestselling biographer of public figures. Image

We have due process for a reason.

ICE used to be a legal operation. Now—without it ever confirming for a judge it has the right person and has a reasonable basis to take irrevocable government action—this is a kidnapping.

If you see something like this, report it to the police. What the police can do is contact ICE to confirm it conducted an operation that resulted in the seizure of a specific person.

If ICE refuses to confirm the seizure of that person at that time, the police have a Kidnapping on their hands.

They'll be required to act accordingly.

More than any two men in America, Trump and Musk target for vicious retribution anyone who crosses them.

And more than any two men in America, Trump and Musk complain about media using anonymous sources to report on them.

Just take a moment and sit with those two statements. The question here is why Trump and Musk have such a penchant for *creating* the phenomena they'll later loudly claim to be victims of.

One answer is that they're both malignant narcissistic sociopaths who can't process empathy and therefore can't put themselves in others' shoes.

They’re destroying our government—and with it, America.

They’re coming for your Social Security. Your student loans. Your voting systems. Your personal data. Your Medicare. Your freedoms.

They want EVERYTHING. And they are coming for EVERYTHING.

From The Washington Post: Image Never forget what these people did. They stormed OUR Capitol. They threatened OUR government. They tried to overthrow OUR democracy. They tried to block the presidency WE voted for in 2020.

And when 1,600+ of these lunatic criminals were finally rounded up, they PARDONED them.

“BREAKING NEWS: The AI Musk Funded Now Asserts There Will More Likely Than Not Be a Second U.S. Civil War This Year or Next”

🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…Image 1/ The odds of a second Civil War in the next 20 months are assessed at about 70%, and this assessment was reached after a lengthy conversation between the only bestselling biographer of both Donald Trump _and_ Elon Musk and what is probably the best AI out there at the moment.

Twitter users who aren't Trump biographers love to say they know the Trump-Russia scandal—and know it to be a hoax.

So let's have a contest.

I'll put a 🛎 after the first comment that answers one question correctly: What was Trump's first defense to allegations of a "pee tape"? {I suppose it goes without saying that—like all "innocent" men—Trump gave many different defenses to the possibility (confirmed as *fact* by the CIA, per the BBC) that Putin has compromising tapes of him, all contradictory. I'm only looking for the first.} bbc.com/news/world-us-…

(🧵) Elongelicals insist this Musk sentiment is right and defend it.

What makes that so interesting isn’t Musk’s antisemitism—he’s a hardcore antisemite—but that he's *encouraging* analogies between 2025 America and Nazi Germany.

OK, let's play them out! thedailybeast.com/musk-boosts-cl… 1/ Hitler was responsible for millions and millions of deaths—some on battlefields in a war he started, some in concentration camps. Which deaths, precisely, is Musk attributing to career German civil servants who were in government before Hitler came to power and stayed at work?
