I asked @grok to analyze the last 1,000 posts from Elon Musk for truth and veracity. More than half of what Elon posts on X is false or misleading, while most of the "true" posts are simply updates about his companies.

Truly disturbing report in the WSJ: Lawyers at Twitter are threatening advertisers to spend more money on X "or else" X owner Elon Musk will leverage his close relationship with Trump to torpedo mergers. This goes beyond a conflict of interest. It's straight up extortion.

@PaulVRea @Astro_Andreas @elonmusk I’m sure Elon was just willing to send the ship up out of the kindness of his heart right? It couldn’t possibly be that the expense of a rescue mission wasn’t justified given alternative existing options.

What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media.

This is a scene from a Batman movie despite what the tweeter claims. @elonmusk promoted it for hours before the police there asked him to please take it down. It’s mind blowing how Twitter has rotted so much of his comprehension and critical thinking.

She knew this would happen. And yet endorsed him anyway.

Look at the exchange here. @elonmusk is so far gone. It’s sad. Even if he was in the right here, and the facts say he isn’t, his response is that of a 7 year old.

There is absolutely no doubt that Russia is the aggressor. This is the Trump administration serving as Russian propagandists. It's a complete disgrace.

@MrDavidGrant Maybe. But I think your view of what could be is also very rosy and overly optimistic. It feels like we agree that America should allow much more immigration than we currently do, and that we can afford to do that resource wise and economically. Yes?

@AaronRJackson Aaron, you need to use your imagination more and have more faith in the minds of man.

Illegal immigration is bad, and it’s not unreasonable to want those people deported. Our immigration system needs reform. But they are still humans. This is vile and disgusting and should NOT be posted by our government.

@MrDavidGrant There’s only so much water, land, etc. Certain resources we can’t just meet the demand on at an infinite level.

@AaronRJackson No. Every single prediction around carrying capacity ever made in modern history has been disproven. If there's demand for a product or service, then someone in some way will figure out how to meet that demand.

@MrDavidGrant I would agree to an extent on the planning issue. But I suspect if we had had open borders over the last 50 years we may very well have a carrying capacity issue at this point too.

@AaronRJackson The United States of America does NOT have a "carrying capacity" issue. It has a collectivist and central planning issue. Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff. That's the laws we require. Everything else is superfluous.

@MrDavidGrant I’m curious as to what your scenario looks like to you. Open borders. No such thing as illegal immigration. Where will people live? What would they do for work? How would they have access to high demand goods and services that are already strained?

@AaronRJackson What one calls "liveable" requires making many assumptions about millions of possible individual decisions. It requires an immeasurable level of arrogance to believe that any group of people can come up with what a "liveable wage" is.

@MrDavidGrant I don’t believe it’s arrogance to be able to look at the economic situation at a local level and determine what wage it would take to meet basic human essentials. I understand the definition of that is different for some but there can be shared consensus.

@MrDavidGrant I think we will have to agree to disagree on that one. Livable wages are not a preposterous metric, and can be easily determined on a local level and used to inform local and state economic policy. I would agree with you on a federal level.

@AaronRJackson No one is owed anything except that which they negotiate with their employer. A "livable" wage is a subjective and preposterous metric that cannot and should not be used to inform economic policy.

@MrDavidGrant I understand what you’re saying in theory. I would love a world with open borders and freedom of movement. It just isn’t practicable IMO based on the evidence.

@AaronRJackson Freedom of movement is a human right. A crime to be just DOES require a victim, otherwise you’re attempting to parent someone. The nanny state. Also, illegal immigration does not undercut anyone. No one is owed anything simply because they’re already here.

@MrDavidGrant I don’t believe you need to have a victim to have a crime. I also believe that illegal immigration undercuts low income earners wages further than would otherwise happen, which would make them the victims. I also think we need legal immigration. Much more than we allow now.

@AaronRJackson Illegal immigration is a victimless crime, which is to say it’s not a crime at all.

Heart palpitations, myocarditis, coughs for weeks, congestion for a month, constant fatigue. You do you when it comes to vaccines. I’ll gladly get the Covid shot once a year and banning it would be an overwhelming negative to our society.

I’ve had Covid 5 TIMES! Being a teacher and frequent concert goer/traveler and going to the gym 4 days a week will do that to you. Three of the times were within a few months of the vaccine and I essentially had a cold. Two of the times were not and I got knocked on my ass.

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.
