Stirring the pot
Lizard man very active devouring people.
Elon Musk is using his social media network to spread election conspiracy theories about U.S. disasters — just as online falsehoods are complicating the federal response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Musk has helped spread accusations that the Federal Emergency Management Agency “actively blocked” donations to victims of Helene and is “seizing goods … and locking them away to state they are their own” — allegations that FEMA officials call false and which run afoul of state and local Republican leaders’ praise for the assistance from Washington.
On his social network, X, Musk also amplified rumors that authorities in North Carolina had “taken control to stop people helping” stricken residents and accusations that sheriffs were threatening to arrest FEMA staff “if they hinder rescue and aid work.” Many of his allegations centered on the claim that immigrants had already depleted federal disaster funds, which FEMA has said is untrue.
“FEMA used up its budget ferrying illegals into the country instead of saving American lives. Treason,” Musk wrote without evidence on X, where he interspersed messages about hurricane damage with political attacks on Democrats.
The horror movie we’re living in keeps getting worse.
It’s a real-life horror trope. The lies are coming from inside the company. (I believe that Musk has plans to remove the ability to mute the idiot which is not surprising now that he’s become Idiot-in Chief. When that happens I’m out. There’s only so much shit I can take and I have a high tolerance for shit.)
Sadly, this recent panel I did seems even more reality based than i feared.

Trump certainly doesn’t understand it but he surely knows how to exploit it.
