The New RepublicBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

The good thing though is there are people still on X who won’t leave and their staying empowers musk and extends his reach. Oh I meant bad thing. Yeah that’s a bad thing. Sorry I was confused as the entire game industry stays there and attracts new users while normalizing this hate speech.

He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
