One of the most under-looked stories, in my opinion, is the fact that Elon Musk reportedly spoke with Vladimir Putin about Putin’s “peace plan" — then posted Putin's demands on Twitter, purchased the app for $44B, then endorsed the GOP, who vowed to cut off US funding to Ukraine.

Right now, 4 out of 5 individuals who sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act can get health coverage for $10 a month or less.
