This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
