Whenever Spain makes diplomatic overtures to Algeria, friction with Rabat tends to rise. Sánchez made an energy agreement with Algiers, and Rabat pouts by loosening border controls in Ceuta. Typical pressure tactic by Rabat to express dissatisfaction with Madrid. That’s it.

I grew up in northern Morocco—where Ceuta is located—and once you know that Ceuta is a colonial vestige of an African nation which eventually will return to Morocco (this in fact is US policy), then you know 90% of what's needed to figure this out. Unfortunately US reporters haven't got a clue.

A very well written description of the context and stakes. Of course, xAI is guilty of poisoning a local community.

Every journalist transcribing Musk statements about anything should only do so if also listing every previous lie, dissembling, exaggeration, ridiculoua prediction, etc Otherwise, your title should be forever, Musk Spokesperson.

The most predictable progression in the world... Tip to reporters who don't want to look like absolute tools: don't report on what Musk *says* as if it means anything at all.

I often wonder how Fox employees can work there. The on air personalities are too far gone. But some % of the 1000s of operational staff who must be disgusted/depressed every day but maybe can’t give up their paychecks? It must soul crushing.

YES. 🎯 If we could do what Hungary did and deplatform propaganda “news” outlets, we could deprogram a lot of ppl. This guy left MAGA by [checks notes] *changing his media sources*. 👀 @leavingmaga.org
