Matt Gaetz flips the script on Middle East diplomacy:

If both Iran and Israel have secret nuclear programs with no IAEA oversight, why not have them both give them up?

با تأثر فراوان از درگذشت امروز جناب معین صاحب اسد فرهاد، دوست و همکار عزیزم، باخبر شدم. از ایزد متعال برای او مغفرت طلب می‌کنم و برای خانواده و دوستان محترمش صبر جمیل آرزو دارم.

ایشان عمر پربار خود را صرف خدمت به مردم و آموزش نسل جوان کشور کرد. یادش جاودانه خواهد ماند.

The USRAP Executive Order takes effect January 27 and suspends the program indefinitely.

There is no carve out for Afghans. We have this week to convince @realDonaldTrump that there should be no interruption to ongoing relocations.

Implementation remains a question. More soon.

The program, per four former Afghan intel (NDS) sources we queried, averaged $200,000 per killed American or coalition soldier. There were smaller allowances for killed Afghan troops. One former official estimated that Russia paid a total of approximately $30 million to the Taliban via the scheme.

@mikenelson586 I believe the synagogue was hosting a group that was auctioning off Palestinian land. Thus the protest.

Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter (6500 people) and everyone thought that Twitter was doomed.

He was right. Everyone was wrong.

It’s the management masterclass of the decade and every entrepreneur must understand why it worked 🧵:

Three months ago, Israel suffered a murderous tragedy of staggering proportion. Today, Israel faces compelling accusations of genocide in a case at the International Court of Justice. How can a country get its strategy so monumentally wrong to achieve that in just three months?

Horrific and important piece. +972 Magazine has produced some extraordinary journalism about the horrors of the IDF assault on Gaza.

I thought @elonmusk’s interview with @andrewrsorkin was one of the great interviews ever. Musk is a free speech absolutist which I respect. I think he is entirely correct that he and @X are treated unfairly and inconsistently by advertisers.

@tiktok_us @instagram @facebook and others have enormous amounts of problematic content, antisemitic and otherwise, but the advertisers don’t boycott those platforms.

Musk is targeted because the other media organizations view @X as a competitor and any time his name is in an article about controversies, it draws clicks. MSM is incentivized to attack him as it actually drives attention to their sites and therefore more revenues. It is these attack articles by other media organizations that put pressure on the @Disney’s of the world to stop advertising on X.

If Bob Iger would carefully examine the facts, he would likely continue to advertise on X, but Disney caves to public pressure rather than do the right thing. Meanwhile Disney invests heavily on TikTok, likely alongside videos of kids teaching other teenagers to be anorexic and worse. I am sure Nelson Peltz can fix this when he joins the Disney board.

X presents the opportunity for advertisers to access an incredible global audience that is not available elsewhere. And it is cheap compared to other alternatives because of current circumstances.

On Musk and antisemitism:

After examining the facts, it was clear to me that Musk did not have antisemitic intent when he responded with the ‘actual truth’ tweet, and further clarified thereafter.

I thought he made what he meant extremely clear in the @andrewrsorkin interview, namely, that Jews are drawn to support ‘oppressed’ groups and causes through various non-profits due to our history of being an oppressed minority.

Musk points out correctly that a number of these organizations and their members support Hamas. And he is correct in saying that Jews should rethink support for organizations that seek their elimination.

Many Jews are doing that right now.

To use a Muskism, Earth is fortunate that @X is owned by an individual that is largely insulated from financial and other influence. That said, perhaps some form of very carefully governed trust would be a better forever owner than any individual.

@PershingSqFdn invested in the Twitter privatization in support of free speech. Whether we make a profit on our investment is not important to us as we never intend to sell our interest.

I am more inclined to like and support companies that advertise on the platform because I appreciate their support for free speech. I have actually bought products I learned about from ads on @X. I can’t think of another example of my responding to direct advertising other than on X.

Unfortunately, recent (and society’s long-term experience) with non-profit governance, see @OpenAI, certain private universities etc. should not give anyone confidence that a traditional non-profit would be a better owner of X than Musk.

Perhaps some day the ownership of X should be distributed to each American, one share for each American during their lives and one for each person born, with a charter which permanently vests the free speech principles by which it operates.

Until then, we all should be grateful that X is owned by Musk.
