In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about the takeover of social media by illiberal, populist influencers. For the last ten years, social media has been dominated by these voices and it is one of the main reasons for the political rise of people like Trump and Orban. 1/25

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported. It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

The longstanding animus between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk encapsulates a key tension at the heart of the MAGA movement. It pits those like Bannon, who want Trump to carry out a more fully populist agenda, against ultrawealthy interests, epitomized by Musk, who occupy key positions in Trump’s orbit.
