Elon Musk's X is under scrutiny for disinformation targeting Kamala Harris(www.motherjones.com)

Jfc, a media outlet asks a presidential campaign a question, and the answer from the official spokesperson is “your phone must be fucked up.” It’s amazing how fast standards seem to be unraveling within the US political system. Even random student groups have better judgement in their communication with the media, this is like a spokesperson for a shitty frat house talking to Mother Jones.

Whenever I see depressing news like this I always, I make sure to spend a bit of time to stop at a random conservative sub (r/trump, etc), and post a comment with a bible quote or logic that contridects whatever the current top post is at the time and enjoy the fireworks

I’m still waiting for “under scrutiny” to turn into “meaningful consequences”

His new BS lawsuit over companies coming together to not advertise on Xitter is trying to distract from the disinformation fomentation and republican PAC funding

Bingo, and sadly it’ll probably work to distract the majority of people away from that underlying issue.
