Elon Musk melts down on stage, tells advertisers to F*(& themselves
Elon Musk's recent interview at the DealBook summit took a dramatic turn as he faced questions about advertisers leaving Twitter/X due to perceived anti-Semitic content. Musk's response included heated exchanges with Andrew Ross Sorkin and explicit language directed at advertisers. Musk expressed disdain against those trying to use advertising as leverage and claimed that an advertising boycott would "kill the company." The interview revealed Musk's unconventional stance, stating that he doesn't want advertisers on Twitter and urging them to "go f*** themselves." Andrew Ross Sorkin appeared bewildered by Musk's position, highlighting the surreal nature of the exchange. Musk's comments prompted Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino to engage in damage control. Despite Musk's apology and explanation, the incident fueled concerns about his stability and its potential impact on Twitter's future. Critics argue that Musk's behavior has contributed to the platform's decline, both in terms of usability and profitability. The controversy adds to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Musk's public statements and his mismanagement of the company ever since he was forced into buying it.
"We're seeing Trump cognitive decline": Brain fail goes mainstream
Donald Trump's cognitive decline has permeated mainstream media, reaching a seven-minute segment on "The View." Neurologists and psychiatrists weighed in on instances where Trump exhibited confusion about current political figures and events, questioning whether these lapses were intentional or indicative of genuine cognitive decline. The hosts noted Trump's history of controversial statements and suggested a combination of decline and intentional messaging. Due to Trump's unique and simplistic communication style, his supporters might overlook signs of cognitive decline and chalk them up as “Trump being Trump.” A new CNN poll indicates that a significant percentage of Americans perceive Trump to have more stamina and sharpness than Joe Biden, despite only a few-year age difference. The segment reflects a growing interest in Trump's cognitive state, marking a transition from independent shows to mainstream media outlets.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump was REFUSING TO EAT after Trump riots
In a surprising revelation by Liz Cheney, failed former President Donald Trump refused to eat at Mar-a-Lago post-January 6th riots. Cheney asserts that Kevin McCarthy visited Trump in response to concerns about his depression and lack of appetite, portraying the situation as an attempt to remedy the former president's emotional state by coaxing him to eat. Cheney further exposed a cloakroom incident on January 6th, where some Republicans derogatorily referred to Trump as "orange Jesus" while engaging in an allegedly unconstitutional act of signing objection sheets. Cheney emphasized the troubling dishonesty of certain Republicans who, despite knowing the falsehoods, supported them for political gain. Despite these bizarre revelations, the attempt to undermine democracy failed, the Republican Party humiliated itself, and Donald Trump eventually resumed eating.
From yesterday’s show:
Republicans PANIC as Hunter Biden offers to testify publicly
In a surprising turn of events, Hunter Biden has offered to testify publicly, inviting questions and accountability from Republicans regarding the allegations against him. However, Republicans, initially vocal about the need for transparency and accountability, now seem reluctant to have Hunter Biden testify in public. Instead, they are pushing for a closed-door session, citing the desire to control the narrative and prevent Democratic members from posing challenging questions that could dispel conspiracy theories. This shift in stance raises questions about the sincerity of the Republicans' commitment to the investigation, showing that they are more interested in manipulating the situation than uncovering the truth. Fox News hosts appear to support the idea of closed-door hearings, arguing that it allows for a more focused examination without the theatrics of public proceedings. Critics, including some within the Republican Party like Senator Josh Hawley, question the legitimacy of these arguments, pointing out the inconsistency in the Republicans' approach and suggesting a lack of confidence in the investigation's outcome.
