Looking at the last few days shows up mad Ed’s delusional policy.

Apparently there is a Presidential election in the US today. Who knew? The US and the worlds media have kept very quiet about it.

The Guardian says,
Elon Musk is out of control. Here is how to rein him in
1. Boycott Tesla; 2. Advertisers should boycott X; 3. Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X; 4. The Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals – and if he does not, sue him under Section Five of the FTC Act; 5. The US government – and we taxpayers – have additional power over Musk, if we’re willing to use it. The US should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX; and finally, 6. Make sure Musk’s favorite candidate for president is not elected.
Not surprisingly, the author is a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

This is Viva Frei interviewing Douglas Mackey.
A guy that liked posting humorous political memes.
He was arrested a jailed for a meme … four years after the fact.
Had no idea why the FBI was at his house, until hours later when they handed him a thirty page indictment … FOR A MEME.
This is what we can expect.
