Elon Musk: It Is 'Outrageous' to 'Claim That I'm a Nazi' Elon Musk called claims that he's a Nazi 'outrageous' during an interview with Lara Trump on Fox News.

I don’t know, man, maybe it’s all the amplifying of Nazis on you platform, the stiff-arm salutes, the joking about Nazis, the cozying up to Germany’s far-right, your family’s history of supporting apartheid, the support for eugenics, the Nazi font hats, and, you know, the whole movement you’re in.

So, if I'm following along correctly, Canada is being threatened with "grave consequence" by the U.S. because Ontario is threatening to suspend electricity transmission, which itself is being discussed as a result of escalating punitive tariffs from the U.S.?

Perhaps all this tariff talk was just the distraction we needed to resign Vladdy Jr.

As a result of my Spotify account linked to my house's Sonos as well as several of my Amazon Alexa devices, and my daughter being a Swiftie, I will not be disclosing my 2024 Spotify Wrapped list this year. I can share that Queens of the Stone age, the best band ever, was a solid #2 for me in 2024.

As someone with a kid that thinks about this a lot, I’m basically doing the same thing with her. The risks to her mental health outweigh any other potential positives IMO.

Damn. That's terrible news. Really sorry to hear that. As a fellow journo-laid-off in the past, happy to help if you'd like some thoughts on navigating the choppy waters.

This seems like a huge deal. When Starlink won’t require a terrestrial partner is when telcos are going to be in deep trouble.

I wonder if this whole blanket-25%-tariff-to-Canada-and-Mexico threat is just that. A blustering threat intended to sow confusion and chaos for a while to let the moving pieces fall to a place where a proper deal could materialize.

Yeah, but I'm sure this will lower the cost of eggs for the average American family, right?
