Media took the bait and has been covering Trump's Alcatraz BS all day instead of how disastrous the economy is.

Jake Tapper's show even covered it live and on location at Alcatraz and did a panel.

Trump plays the media every day and they cover what he wants them to cover.

It starts with “Public transport sucks”, then it’s undermining HSR, pretending hyperloop and self driving cars are solutions to anything, then endorsing German neo-Nazis and now his hand is up the arse of a moron killing government services

Never trust a man who dislikes trains.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.

In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.

💔British food exports to the EU have fallen by £3bn a year

💔Brexit trading barriers cost each household £210 extra for food in the two years up to 2021.

💔The ONS says Brexit cost the UK £1m an hour in 2022.

💔The OBR estimates Brexit will cause UK trade to fall by 15%.

����Replicating EU regulators, as for medicines and chemicals, is expensive.

💔Aggravations abound: unsafe tap water is the latest risk because the UK can no longer access EU labs for testing.

❤���‍🔥All this percolates through to voters.

❤️‍🩹For as long as we stay away, month after month “dynamic alignment” in accepting new EU regulations is forced on us anyway, as small businesses this week yet again find themselves taken by surprise by new EU rules constricting exports to our main trading partners.

❤️Starting a realistic public conversation, Labour needs to recognise the turning of the Brexit tide.

Well said @pollytoynbee ❤️

Elon Musk: The Government Fixer? 🔥 #shorts #shortsvideo

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

I asked Grok, Twitter's AI tool: How did Elon Musk influence the outcome of the 2024 US election?"

This is how it replied (its response below is unedited and reproduced in full):

Elon Musk's influence on the 2024 U.S. election was multifaceted, primarily through financial contributions, social media activity, and public appearances:

- **Financial Support:** Musk created a super PAC named America PAC, donating over $100 million to support Donald Trump's campaign. This financial backing was crucial, especially in swing states, where his PAC focused get-out-the-vote efforts and even provided incentives like payments to voters, which sparked legal scrutiny.

- **Social Media Influence:** As the owner of X (formerly Twitter), Musk used the platform to amplify his support for Trump, spreading messages favoring the Republican candidate. His posts received billions of views, often promoting themes like voter fraud and non-citizen voting, aligning with right-wing narratives. His engagement on X was significantly boosted, possibly due to algorithmic changes favoring his content, which extended his reach to his over 200 million followers.

- **Public Endorsement and Campaign Appearances:** Musk's endorsement of Trump was highly publicized. He appeared at campaign rallies, including a significant one in Pennsylvania, where his presence was celebrated. His shift from a perceived liberal stance to openly supporting Trump, especially after an assassination attempt on Trump which Musk was present for, was seen as a signal to his followers and the broader electorate.

- **Misinformation and Controversy:** Musk's posts on X were noted for containing misleading claims about the election process, like suggesting that mail-in ballots were insecure or that Democrats were using immigration to skew elections. This misinformation campaign was criticized for potentially undermining trust in the electoral process.

- **Business Interests and Policy Influence:** Musk's companies like Tesla and SpaceX have substantial dealings with the federal government, and his support for Trump could be seen as aligning with his business interests, particularly in areas like deregulation or tax policies, which could benefit from a pro-business administration.

While Musk's influence undoubtedly played a role, the election's outcome was likely influenced by a complex set of factors including economic conditions, voter turnout, policy issues, and the candidates' performance during the campaign. However, Musk's actions were notable for their visibility and the direct support they provided to Trump's campaign, both financially and through amplifying Trump's message on social media.

As long warned UK was never going to have operational (extra needed experienced personnel) capacity for life outside SM/CU, to reciprocate its agreed TCA border...without more widespread empty shelves/greater rocketing prices.

America is our biggest single country for export now...the right wingers today welcome Trump imposing tariffs on our manufacturers

Before Brexit, the EU was easily our singular biggest market....the right wing celebrated they stopped it

You see the pattern

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Inflation has now fallen to 2.1% – nearly at its 2% target.

While critics said we needed a recession to lower inflation, we did it while creating 16 million jobs and growing our economy at the fastest rate of any presidential term in the 21st century.
