This isn't so much about what was or wasn't going on in Musk's head and what kind of greeting or salutation it was.
It's about how populist accounts mislead by manipulating videos to promote their agenda.
I'm glad it got some attention. ✌️
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
Maybe the @NobelPrize / @NobelPeaceOslo should suspend the Peace Prize this year - just to give Trump a –1 and leave everyone else on Earth ahead of him.
@TobiasHuch Und wie genau sieht diese Unterstützung aus?
Oder ist das einfach eine steile These vom Bandwagon, der sich gerade an Carney, Macron & Starmer abarbeitet?
I find this quite astonishing.
Users on X and journalists correctly point out that President Trump's administration has calculated the tariffs slapped on countries worldwide on the basis of the trade deficit in goods with each country (exports - imports) divided by imports from that country, which most economists seem to think is an odd way to calculate tariffs.
Kush Desai, the White House deputy press secretary, attempts to reject and refute that by posting this tweet, saying "we literally calculated tariff and non tariff barriers".
To prove that X users and journalists are wrong, Kush Desai shares this formula from the US Treasury website. But the Treasury's formula precisely shows that the tariffs are based on the trade deficit in goods divided by imports from each country.
∆τᵢ = (x-m) / (ε x φ x m)
The formula includes "x" for exports and "m" for imports.
But it also has "ε" for "price elasticity of import demand", set at 4 by the Treasury; multiplied by "φ" for "elasticity of import prices", set at 0.25 by the Treasury, which means they basically cancel out each other as 4 x 0.25 = 1.
So, in effect, all you're left with in the formula is exports - imports / imports, which is what X users and journalists had accurately pointed out all along.
x (exports) - m (imports) / ε (4) x φ (1/4) x m (imports)
In case there is another calculation that we're missing, in which case the White House should point us to them, I fail to see how the White House has "calculated tariff and non-tariff barriers" for each country.

@GuntherEagleman The only thing that says is you MAGA goons should grow a spine and your bluster is sheer pathetic. Goldberg has more integrity than any of you ever will. Good day!
@nikitheblogger Und nochmal: ~80% wollen die AfD nicht in der Regierung, da kannst du die nächsten 4 Jahre rumquengeln wie du willst und da ändert auch euer circlejerk hier nix.
Sei mal der große Demokrat, der du angeblich bist.
Aber wenn wir ehrlich sind, geht’s dir doch eh nur um die Kohle…
@RealArtaxes@KopfgeburtLP@KlocknerMarcus Hah, geblockt. Warum denn? 🙃
Ich hab das schon verstanden mit der UDSSR und den Sowjetrepubliken. Aber wie ändert das jetzt die Historie von russischer und sowjetischer Aggression. Und ich glaube nicht, dass die Befehle für die Afghanistan-Invasion aus Taschkent kamen.
@RealArtaxes@KopfgeburtLP@KlocknerMarcus So what?! Wo ist der Unterschied?
Warum stürzt du dich auf eine Formalie und gehst nicht im Kleinsten auf die eigentliche Behauptung ein? Dünnes Eis, huh?
Nach der Logik kann die Deutschland getrost den WWII vergessen, da es ja nicht das Deutsche Reich ist. 🙄
@bellconi@tschloss@liz_churchill10 Hammer & Sichel sind die Symbole für Kommunismus, du bildungsarmer, geisteskranker Ballast.
Und komm, da du ja so pfiffig bist, brech mal kurz runter, warum das dämliche Meme oben, deiner Meinung nach richtig ist. Bin gespannt…
@ThomasRWool@MarkJCarney No one can see 200B anywhere except your president, and he is a pathological liar. Strange how you folks can ignore that all the time.

@TobiasHuch Ja, es gibt genug nachweislich gefälschte Videos und auch die Zahlen sind schwierig.
Aber ich find‘s ja journalistisch dünn, jeder Nennung von pal. Opfern Antisemitismus zu unterstellen und das auch ohne Beleg.
Das ist auch kein Journalismus. Das schrammt am White Knight Syndrom
