Elon Musk Is the Midterms' Biggest Disinformation Risk - Mother Jones

Inb4:

• Bad faith GIF of a politician waving

• "Rent free"

• "Obsessed"

• "Bot"

• "Again?"

• "He loves it"

• "He doesn't care what you think"

• "Low on karma?"

• "He's good at Diablo and Path of Exile"

• "He barely asked to go to the island"

• "DOGE was a huge success"

• "He posted about Trump being in the Epstein files but he's loyal af so they're friends again ❤️"

• An anonymous Redditor thinks you need help...

Personally, I always saw DOGE as a means for Musk to avoid investigations and responsibility and, of course, taxes.

I love watching the bots post moronic, incoherent sentences and then trying to differentiate them from the elon bootlickers.

Are we there yet?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the greatest show on Earth! Where a 19-year-old creates Facebook, billionaires promise to save humanity, and somehow the same familiar faces keep turning up behind the curtain.

Step right up! We've got clowns, strongmen, magicians, and enough smoke and mirrors to make Houdini jealous.

In this episode of **What Would Jairo Pinto Say? (WWJPS)**, we're taking a trip through the billionaire circus, where technology, politics, intelligence contracts, and extraordinary wealth all seem to share the same VIP tent.

🎩 **TONIGHT'S ATTRACTIONS:**

🎪 **Elon Musk:** We're digging into the Musk documentary and the carefully cultivated mythology surrounding Silicon Valley's most theatrical billionaire.

💰 **Amazon and the CIA:** From online shopping to intelligence-agency cloud contracts. How did a company selling books become part of America's intelligence infrastructure?

🪄 **Bill Gates and COVID:** Philanthropy, pandemic preparedness, public health influence, and the uncomfortable questions surrounding private wealth and public policy.

🎭 **Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel:** We're following the documented conversations and connections surrounding Brexit, political influence, and the powerful people moving through Epstein's orbit. What do the records actually reveal?

🤡 **The Silicon Valley Origin Story:** A teenager creates Facebook, tech founders become celebrities, and suddenly we're supposed to believe the people who accumulated unimaginable power are simply here to make the world a better place.

🏆 **AND OUR HERO OF THE YEAR!** Because amid this parade of billionaires, there's someone who deserves a standing ovation.

This isn't about left versus right. It's about money, access, influence, and the people who keep selling us a better tomorrow while accumulating more control over today.

Some connections are documented. Others raise questions worth investigating. And we're going to distinguish between the two.

**Same circus. Different acts. Bigger fortunes.**

Grab your popcorn. The show's just getting started. 🍿

The billionaire's $241 Star Wars Lego purchase revealed two Texas addresses, an order number and partial payment details to millions of followers; meanwhile, Musk is encouraging users to upload photos of their credit cards to Grok and let the AI shop for them.

Just a reminder to my Cali Dems. Tax Musk!

“We think of [Elon Musk] as this futuristic tech titan, but he's really the classic American trickster or confidence man — the man who bullshits us with great confidence and so much confidence that people come to him asking for answers on any number of subjects. And, he just bullshits.”

In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview — Mehdi Hasan sits down with filmmaker Alex Gibney, who previously exposed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss a new four-hour long exposé on the world’s richest man: Elon Musk.

Mehdi and Gibney, both critics of Elon Musk, dive into how the trillionaire became so powerful and why Gibney believes he may be the world’s most dangerous man. Throughout the wide-ranging conversation, they also discuss the legal threats Musk’s lawyers made against Gibney and his team.

Gibney also explains how Musk was able to create a “genius” persona, the U.S. government’s complicity in his rise, how Musk become involved in right-wing politics and the volatile relationship between Musk and Donald Trump — something Gibney calls a “marriage of convenience.”
