This should be headline news EVERYWHERE. A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected. He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine. This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany. So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere? Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up... 🤔

#NEWS: The European Commission uses its vast power to limit online discourse ahead of major elections in the U.S. and Europe. Its actions could affect U.S. speech—including the global removal and demotion of content protected by the First Amendment. Ahead of tomorrow's Hungarian election, Chairman @Jim_Jordan and Rep. Chris Smith wrote to @HennaVirkkunen urging the Commission to refrain from any interference. Read the full letter here ↓

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

Platforms hosting lawful content must be shielded from government pressure to censor. We would require transparency in content moderation and prohibit state-directed takedowns of legal speech. The Online Safety Act law threatens the integrity of investigative journalism, whistleblowing, and political debate. Fears of liability lead to over-moderation, driving smaller players out of the market and empowering Big Tech. A Restore Britain government would therefore repeal the Online Safety Act - any Labour VPN ban would also be immediately reversed. We would restore free speech.

I didn't think it could get worse, I was wrong. Watching that illegal animal from Haiti beat a woman to death with a hammer has radicalized me more than I thought possible. Our politicians bear the blame for this. It was an intentional policy choice. The Biden admin opened our border to the criminal filth from the third world knowing that would kill Americans like me and you. The blood is on their hands. Prosecute anyone inside the Biden admin who allowed for this to take place 13,000 Americans are DEAD because of them. These government officials must be punished. Lock them up.

Here is another datapoint for those who say the Cybercabs with steering wheels are meant to be used with passengers. I was fortunate to capture this image today with the door open of one of the new vehicles in the outbound lot. I cropped in and adjusted the lighting to show that the engineering kit to add the steering wheel and pedals requires portions of the dashboard to be removed in order for this kit to be added. There is not a completed dashboard or interior pieces to make this into a completed, production ready vehicle. It was never intended to be ... these are meant for testing only and this version is not the final production version that will carry passengers. Really! For a bit more added context, there are two "lines" to make different versions of the Cybercab. There is the main production line for final versions that will be used for passengers and these vehicles are noticeably different from those used for the engineering test versions. Once these are observed, it will be obvious ... There is a parallel line that is meant only to make these engineering versions with a modular kit that includes the Cybertruck steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals. This kit is bolted in after removing a part of the dashboard. These vehicles are wrapped with a golden color on top on non molded-in-color body panels. There is a need for the engineering versions for some time to come as new locations are added to the areas where Robotaxi service will be deployed and this will be true for quite some time.


Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int'l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.



Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High mass flux to orbit. 💫



What are we supposed to do now that anthropic completely nerfed claude?
