in what sounds like an early warning sign of his now near-permanent state of self-humiliation.

That now ex-friend, podcaster-philosopher Sam Harris, finally reveals how the wager led to them dramatically falling out.

Musk bet donating $1 million to charity against a $1,000 bottle of tequila that COVID cases in the US would not exceed 35,000.

Just a few weeks later, the CDC reported 35,000 deaths — and 600,000 cases. A triumphant Harris texted Musk, "Is (35,000 deaths + 600,000 cases) > 35,000 cases?"

Elon Musk took his endorsement of Germany's far-right party to the next level. He started with a blatant untruth: "Alice Weidel is the leading candidate to lead Germany," he announced. Some 210,000 people listened to a chaotic conversation about energy, migration, crime, war, and life on Mars.

Musk and AfD leader Weidel distort historical facts in conversation on X: 'Nazis were actually socialists'

Untruths and distortions of facts dominated the conversation with AfD leader Weidel. "Finally, a normal conversation without being interrupted or framed."

Musk was surprised that the AfD was associated with the far right and neo-Nazis in the German media because the party does not strike him as 'extremist'.

Weidel: "The Nazis were actually socialists. Hitler was a communist, but he presented himself as a socialist."

The same PCR test?

PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, yes. The technology is the same. But you can only post this if you are clueless about what makes a PCR test specific and different.

2025, delete the X app.

It is used for manipulation, not just another cryptocoin today, not just the image of Pepe the frog and support of extreme right, it manipulates you, your opinion and society. It empowers one rich quy and his (political) cronies.

Get your news from different sources!

The image comes from this webpage https://www.bebe-pt.com/blog/musings-about-milestones

The explanation? Milestones have not been updated since the 1960s! many aspects of child-rearing have changed since then, most notably the very important Back to Sleep Campaign initiated in the 90’s to combat SIDS.

Uproar in ZeroCovid land. "Sars-CoV-2 has devastating effects on children". It is so bad that the CDC quietly changed the milestones for child development monitoring.....

Did they? #medsky

I encourage everyone to learn the facts and context.

Too many have opinions without sufficient understanding of the historical context and the facts. Too many shout and chant, insult and attack, without even a willingness to try and understand the facts and the context.

Every day, so many people are led astray, lied to, and gaslit, and many don´t even realise it. Amplified and boosted by "social" media. From vaccines to abortion to hating groups of humans and being tricked into supporting fascism.

Choose humanity.
4/4

Ideas and opinions are not better than facts. Shouting, insults and denying will not make facts go away. Your imaginary friend is not better than someone else´s. The argument does not weigh heavier or is better because it is made (up) by someone on your "team".
3/4

Be aware of propaganda, emotive arguments not grounded in facts and leaving (sufficient) context purposely out. Be aware that mistakes and imperfections are everywhere, those are just human.

Do stand and speak up against lies and bullies, against intolerance and hatred.

They insisted there was no cause for alarm, describing it as 'a nasty bug that apparently is going around a bit'.

Like for people dying, the well-known accounts make this SARS-CoV-2 and #LongCovid. This is not what is said!

Switching from X to BlueSky isn’t hard. Trolls will troll, but BSK offers better moderation and a true block function.

The real advantages? No ads and no algorithms trapping you in echo chambers—just authentic conversations and control over your feed.

1/6

Systemwide changes on X, designed to advance specific political views, turned the platform into a propaganda tool. This endangers both democracy and the freedom of information and expression, values that are essential for a fair and open society. X polerised all of us.
4/6

An owner tweaking the largest platform to favour their own posts, removing the block option to force ads and political messages on users, whether they want them or not, is a clear abuse of power. Decentralised platforms like BlueSky offer a way out of this manipulation.
3/6

BlueSky relies on decentralized servers, avoiding single ownership, a lesson learned from X. This allowed political ads, poor moderation, and algorithm tweaks favoring one person’s political stance. Decentralization keeps platforms fairer.
