    And I think Musk has been horrified by what has been happening to America and sees Trump as the only possible way to slow the slide into oblivion.

    Electric Cars thread here.

    Regarding Trump and Musk: They can afford [literally] to be pragmatists. They are enemies of the system because they can speak their minds because are not beholding to it.

    The EU has threatened Musk ahead of the interview with Trump.

    The EU demonstrated how despotic and authoritarian it was again, but this time, it made the mistake of trying to flex its muscles on Elon Musk, a man with all the tolerance for authoritarianism of a founding father in 1776.

    It all started when European Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, Thierry Breton, posted an open letter on X, effectively telling Musk that the EU will be watching his upcoming interview with Donald Trump and that there had better not be any hate speech or insinuation of violence or else the EU will have to take action against Musk. Breton said that many people within the EU will be watching this interview, and as such, Musk has a responsibility to not say or do anything that might give Europeans the idea that hate and violence are okay.

    Breton threatened to use "our full toolbox, including by adopting interim measures, should it be warranted to protect EU citizens from harm" should his Trump interview produce “any negative effect of illegal content.”

    You can read the letter from Breton an see Musk's Twitter reaction at this link. As you might guess Elon didn't take it well. :D

    I do think that Tweets could be posted here if the forum software was updated.

    So what the commission is basically saying is that Europeans are too stupid to decide for themselves what is good and what is bad. Got it !
    I mean, what’s the worse thing Trump might say about Europe? ‘If NATO doesn’t pay its fair share of the expenses we’re not going to defend those European countries?
    He’s already said that…several times.

    That's some pretty uppity talk for the head of a Free Trade Zone.

    Trump and Musk are two of the people that can possibly save the world from the WEF --the New World Order or whatever name the insanity is called now.
    We see the farm destruction in Holland, the migrants over running European countries illegally, un vetted or vaxxed, while citizens were forced into compliance with mandates. The UN has been behind this worldwide and the US has been funding it. Harris is in line to allow us to be destroyed so some elite group wins the game. That is the reason for the threats and lawfare. Climate change is being used like racism to make conservatives feel guilt to give in. But I don't think it is working so well anymore.

    I was wrong, I think. The interview was gummed up a bit because there were A BILLION viewers trying to get on!

    I think the actual number of live viewers was in the tens of millions (something just shy of 80,000,000). And they initially had to contend with denial-of-service attacks.

    The Billion figure is the total number of views from the various sites it's been posted on. There may be multiple people-per-view (folks watching together.) Keep in mind that there was a large part of the global population asleep when it aired live.

    Trump is suing the FBI and the DOJ for the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid.

    Summary

    Last month, U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon dismissed the case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith against Trump. Cannon ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed and illegally funded, citing the Appointments Clause in the Constitution. Following this, Trump’s attorney, Daniel Epstein, filed a notice to sue the DOJ. The DOJ now has 180 days from the date of receipt to respond to the notice. Trump’s case will proceed in the Southern District of Florida.

    Trump’s actions here are not just about defending himself; he’s standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and holding the government accountable when it acts wrongfully, according to his attorney. The raid on Trump’s property was conducted by plainclothes FBI officers carrying weapons, operating under a use-of-force policy that authorized them to shoot and kill if necessary. Fortunately, that was not required, but the question remains: why did they raid with guns and in plainclothes?

    This notice of claim is being brought against the U.S. Department of Justice by President Donald Trump.

    Absolutely. I was reading that in response to the DoS attacks, Musk cut back the number of folks who could log on to listen to it live so that the conversation could get broadcast, knowing that it could be posted later.
