🇷🇺 Economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev:
If Ukraine decides to finish the job, russia’s oil refining can be wiped out in 2 to 3 weeks.
Not years.
WEEKS.
Over the past 5 days, 3 russian refineries have been completely shut down.
Ten major refineries left.
One a day.
Gasoline production → zero.
russia cannot import 100,000 tonnes of fuel a day.
It doesn’t have the currency.
It doesn’t have the options.
Ukraine holds the switch.
And once the refineries are gone, the war economy runs on fumes.
🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action.
The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk.
Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections.
The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas.
The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment.
With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.
A great development: The Senate voted AGAINST the NDAA 50-46, denying Israel a merger with the US.
Those 46 who voted in favor, should face charges for treason
Tim Snyder on billionaires leaving the US if taxed: "If they're not paying taxes anyway, it doesn't matter, right? Let them go plague some other country... if they're not going to pay taxes here, let them not pay taxes somewhere else, because it is actually no loss."
🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.
“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”
So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”
MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.
The MUSK documentary is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple. Elon Musk did his best to keep it from being seen, so it’s no coincidence that it was removed from theaters before the midterms.
I just finished watching it, and honestly, I’m glad I didn’t see it before the election because it would’ve scared the fuck out of me. I’m so glad the midterms turned out like they did.
This man and others like him need to be held accountable. He is unhinged, a monster, a murderer, a narcissist, and an evil motherfucker with a God complex.
Grok can stay on X. I will NEVER download that shit on my phone.
The devastation one man has been allowed to cause to our country and our planet over the last two years is staggering, all without any constraints from a megalomaniac president and a cowardly, greed-possessed Congress.
This is a MUST-WATCH. We need to stay on top of our elected officials and demand they STRIP HIM of his unchecked power and hold him accountable for the MASSIVE DAMAGE he’s done. And we need guardrails going forward so that NO single person can ever hold unchecked control again.
**THIS IS A DIRE WARNING**
I took this on July 1st. As it stands today , Major Jason Watson has spent over 80 days in solitary confinement. He hasn’t been convicted yet, only charged. This is unacceptable! Share his story! Free Major Watson!
Zelenskyy bombs a few Russian data center bot farms and all of a sudden democracy wins in Brazil, Israel and the USA. Doesn't something seem fishy? Elon you got some explaining to do for 2024
