Incredible… Putin’s henchmen helped Musk to acquire Twitter.
That explains a lot: the position of Musk on Crimea… the refusal at some point to let Ukraine use Starlink… the support for Trump…
Time for the US to wake up !

Elon Musk has complied after all and provided a list of X Holding Corp shareholders who helped the billionaire buy Twitter. And who do you think turned out to be the investors of the X platform? That's right, Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich. Now it is absolutely obvious where Musk got such love for Russia and where the roots of “filters” due to anti-Russian publications grow from. Let me remind you who Aven and Moshkovich are. Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, which is one of the main wallets for Putin. This man is controlled by the Kremlin as much as possible, for example, in 2018 he traveled to Washington with his colleague Fridman to lobby on behalf of the Russian government to lift international sanctions on Russia. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. In general, without Peter's interference, Putin would be in jail rather than becoming president. After all, Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when he organized the illegal trade in export licenses. Aven promptly approved him as an authorized representative of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs with the right of foreign economic activity, thus saving the future dictator from prison. Aven also attended a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 to mark the start of the invasion of Ukraine. He did not express any protest, started the special military operation and silently supported Putin. By the way, he along with Friedman is trying to get sanctions lifted, just yesterday he received another rejection in this matter. Twitter is represented in the purchase by 8VC Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a company in which his son Denis works. Vadim Moshkovich is a sub-sanctioned Russian agrarian billionaire who was a member of the “Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation”. In other words, he was officially part of Putin's closest circle. Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding Rusagro. Naturally, he also attended the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 and, like Aven, did not express any protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Twitter is represented in the purchase by 8VC Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a company in which his son Jack (Eugene) works. Also an interesting personality is Al-Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, who both personally and through his Kingdom Holding Company is represented in the list of investors as many as three times. This man continues his investment business in Russia and does not publicly support Hamas in the war against Israel. He regularly works with Rosneft, Lukoil and Gazprom on investments in Russia. Knowing all of this, how can there even be a discussion about Elon Musk's bias? Everyone was thinking how is it possible that Twitter (X)'s stock is plummeting, advertisers are breaking contracts, and no one is doing anything about it. I mean, that's a direct loss to investors. But what everyone overlooked was the fact that investors didn't care about profits, they needed a platform to promote their narratives, such as: supporting Putin and Russia; lobbying to freeze the war in Ukraine; taking the Ukrainian agenda out of the top news; the righteousness of Hamas, etc. It is now obvious that all the changes to Twitter that are ruining this beautiful platform are a consequence of Elon Musk's collaboration with people like Moshkovich and Aven. #ElonMusk #RussiaUkraineWar #RussialsATerroristState

Did Elon Musk buy Twitter to do the Kremlin’s bidding?

How to leave Twitter (#X)
"#BlueSky has all the important functionality of Twitter except much less hatred and it’s not run by a very naughty boy. And crucially there are enough great people there to make it worth staying."

@RishiSunak Paul Johnson, IFS:
"the £2,000 per household the Conservatives are suggesting Labour is committed to is not independently arrived at or verified [but] based on Conservative assumptions about Labour's spending plans. It's also ... cumulated over four years."

It couldn’t have been clearer in last night’s debate.
Keir Starmer’s tax rises will cost working families £2,094.

EXCLUSIVE
The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the £38 billion/£2,000 tax attack “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”
He said he had reminded ministers of this

On X, scientists are sidelined, attacked, and trolled.
Meanwhile on B l u e s k y, they’re asking scientists how to make the platform better for them ⬇️
If you love science and constructive discussions on social media, and you are not yet there….what are you waiting for?!

The Kingswood and Wellingborough results show that people want change and are ready to put their faith in a changed Labour Party to deliver it.
The Tories have failed, Rishi's recession proves that.
Labour is back in the service of working people.

@EveningStandard Ed Davey was the first minister to meet Alan Bates in October 2010.
How many Tory ministers met Alan Bates before it became politically advantageous to do so?

🚨 BREAKING: The Norwegian government has just awarded 62 new oil licences.
39 of these are to @Equinor, the owners of the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field.
Any claim Norway had to being a climate leader is now in tatters.

@Peston 14 April 2022 Daily Fail ran dead cat front page story leaked by Boris Johnson to deflect from the Sue Gray report. It has wasted £ HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS and achieved absolutely nothing except ridicule around the world.
Another costly unworkable Boris Johnson con man FAIL

🚨BREAKING: mini nuclear plants to be built almost anywhere in UK.
Planning rules will be relaxed to allow this - but onshore wind will still have requirements not applied to any other infrastructure?
Would you rather have a wind turbine or a "modular reactor" in your backyard?

5/n: Next, we digitized all 16 global warming projections reported by Exxon scientists, and plotted them on one graph:
Gray = Exxon's predictions
Red = Observed temperature change
This, in a single image, is what #ExxonKnew.

What the ITV dramatization of the Post Office Scandal, demonstrates, is if the public are aware of something, they will be energized into action. The media do not hold our governments properly to account.
What about the climate crisis?

As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS
