Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package. That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The text on the graphic reads, "THOSE PEOPLE AREN’T attacking Tesla dealerships. THEY ARE tourists showing love. I learned that on January 6th 2021." The text sarcastically references the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, drawing a parallel to claims about attacks on Tesla dealerships being misrepresented as acts of affection.
