Canada and the European Commission need to suspend X operations and investigate whether or not these allegations can be corroborated, if yes, lawsuits, sanctions, and an Interpol red and silver notice are necessary against X Corp, Elon Musk, and his collaborators.

Last night I was watching Vertigo. Easily one of my favorite films. During the opening credits I saw the Saul Bass had done the design and animation direction. I love this aesthetic so much.
