As long as Musk leads the company and is the personification of the brand and its most important PR tool, Tesla = Musk. He has been in a downward spiral for the last seven years or so. If I had shares I would sell them immediately.

You think it’s an accident Tesla sales are down almost 80% in Germany? They know what his salute meant.

This is why I’m here:

🧵Trigger warning: suicide

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.

Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

The Rising Tide of Global Anti-Americanism: How Trump is Accelerating America’s Decline While many Americans remain in a media bubble, the world is watching—and turning against the U.S. in ways that may be irreversible.

The world is turning against America—and most Americans have no idea. With Trump back in power, global trust is plummeting. Allies are distancing, protests are rising, and even "Americano" coffee is getting renamed. Is the U.S. becoming a global outcast?

How Trump Sold America Out to His Kleptocratic Friends While the American people get saddled with the staggering cost of his trade war, the president has given the world’s worst actors the license to misbehave.

In 2021, a bipartisan group passed the Corporate Transparency Act, enacting America’s first shell company registry—the single-greatest anti-corruption step the U.S. had taken in decades.

And with a single statement, the Trump White House cancelled it.

Canada goose fights off bald eagle in rare, symbolism-laden battle on ice Photographer captures 20-minute clash between birds emblematic of Canada and US amid high trade tensions

“After a 20-minute confrontation the defeated raptor flew off”. Unfriending, quite literally, all nations except the other countries that form the axis of evil, might just not work 🙄.

All very well said in this blog ♥️. I really cannot fathom the anti-trans sentiment of the populist far-right. The persecution of a vulnerable group for political gain is pure fascist ‘avant la lettre’ 😢

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do.

When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical.

We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide.

One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic.

We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.

Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.

The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA."

What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted.

The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen.

I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs.

Yours sincerely,

A former employee who can't sleep at night.
