(🧵) THREAD: I'm an Elon Musk biographer. Musk and/or his agents have programmed his AI to make false statements about me that the AI makes no effort to substantiate or correct. So here's a thread of the substantiated claims about Musk that Grok says it can make.
Please RETWEET.

It's the same old story than for the last two decades: data is the new oil of the economies. Obviously, a centrally organized high-tech culture with large populate like China has a big advantage, this was coming since +10 years.
Nuclear power is one of the most centralized, big government technologies on the planet. I have no idea why all those apparent US libertarian-liberals like @Noahpinion et. al love it. Good that Germany got rid of it, with decentralized renewables now close to 50% and growing.
I came to Germany in 2016 to start my PhD. Germany then was a hotbed of scientific and engineering activity. And now in a span of 9 years I have had the incredible opportunity to witness a first world country on the cusp of becoming a great superpower systematically decimate itself through a series of bad policies each aimed at neutering itself further.
There is a common thread between all of these self neutering policies: they were all pushed by a few wealthy urban millennials who wanted to feel morally superior and wanted a pat on the back for being a “good person”. It is crazy how the narcissism of a select few can destroy an entire country. On some level I feel bad for hardworking ambitious Germans especially those who put in the hard work to build the country watching it all being ruined by a bunch of virtue signaling entitled fucks.

Bill Clinton proves Marco Rubio is lying, right here, clear as day: WE forced Ukraine to give up their nukes, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers: WE promised to protect Ukraine from Russia; WE made Ukraine vulnerable. So yeah, THIS IS OUR WAR.
Visualizing the defense budget of the US compared to the world as recent as '24 is insane. Why not cut this budget by 1/3 and still rule and protect the world via alliances?
Contrary to using smarter diplomacy and cooperation and saving money at home, Trump 2 weakens alliances and the same time wages economic war. Consequently, in the upcoming household the defense budget has been increased.
The Ukraine war is economically irrelevant in this context. The effective amount spent is roughly $70b per year. That is 7% of the overall defense budget.
The amount of money the US spends in general on defending Europe is again roughly $70b per year. So what's the point to leave those alliances? Besides backstabbing the logistic architecture of the NATO (or at least threatening to do so).
It is hard to describe how completely destructive this politics is with the US allies. As someone who knows both sides of the atlantic it's shocking to see how the thinking about the US changes right now in Europe.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove from the country, for the time being, any of the individuals slated for possible deportation to El Salvador. The vote is apparently 7-2, with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent

ICE is reportedly loading people onto buses right now to be imprisoned in El Salvador without a day in court, in violation of a Supreme Court order. That includes at least one person with Temporary Protected Status and a 19-year-old accused of being in TDA b/c of a water pistol.

At the same time Elon Musk has been serving as a top adviser to President Trump, he's been fighting Ashley St. Clair over the terms of a multimillion-dollar support deal for their baby. wsj.com/politics/elon-musk-c…
This tweet (and many others of you MFs) won't age well. History will judge Trump as a main contributor to the downfall of the US.
If you repeat a lie often enough it starts sticking as a truth. 101 of lawless regimes, you can find it right away in Hitler's book "Mein Kampf". The regime is firing full throttle on this, my "For you" feed is full of it. Shameless regards the rule of law and due process.

The 20 million claim is totally made up. As VP, Vance is welcome to check his own government’s records.
The actual number is closer to 25-30% of that, and most were not “let in,” they entered unlawfully, sought asylum, and were released because of longstanding resource limits.
Consider that Joe Biden allowed approximately 20 million illegal aliens into our country. This placed extraordinary burdens on our country--our schools, hospitals, housing, and other essential services were overwhelmed. On top of that, many of these illegal aliens committed violent crimes, or facilitated fentanyl and sex trafficking. That is the situation we inherited.
The American people elected the Trump administration to solve this problem. The President has successfully stopped the inflow of illegal aliens, and now we must deport the people who came here illegally.
To say the administration must observe "due process" is to beg the question: what process is due is a function of our resources, the public interest, the status of the accused, the proposed punishment, and so many other factors. To put it in concrete terms, imposing the death penalty on an American citizen requires more legal process than deporting an illegal alien to their country of origin.
When the media and the far left obsess over an MS-13 gang member and demand that he be returned to the United States for a *third* deportation hearing, what they're really saying is they want the vast majority of illegal aliens to stay here permanently.
Here's a useful test: ask the people weeping over the lack of due process what precisely they propose for dealing with Biden's millions and millions of illegals. And with reasonable resource and administrative judge constraints, does their solution allow us to deport at least a few million people per year?
If the answer is no, they've given their game away. They don't want border security. They don't want us to deport the people who've come into our country illegally. They want to accomplish through fake legal process what they failed to accomplish politically:
The ratification of Biden's illegal migrant invasion.
President Trump and I will not stand fori t.

they don’t want him to return because he’ll give testimony that its a torture camp at best.
