META CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast to discuss his recent announcement about removing all “fact checkers” from the operation of Facebook and Instagram and replacing the fact-checking system with ‘community notes.’

Within the interview, Zuckerberg outlines examples of the Biden administration contacting the platforms to demand the removal of information the White House deemed against the interests of government.  Zuckerberg talks about the collapse in credibility within the platforms that happened as he lost control of the process and widespread viewpoint censorship became the norm.  WATCH:

President Trump announced that billionaire founder of DAMAC Properties, Hussain Sajwani, will be investing $20 billion in new U.S. datacenters that will be used to operate high speed artificial intelligence (AI) systems.  Noting, “at least $20 billion over a very short period of time.” Trump suggested that number could double, and that the company’s founder was inspired by his election victory.

The data centers will be used for AI, and the initial phase will be in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.  Mr Sajwani confirmed during the press remarks that it was the election of President Trump that cemented the idea to build the massive data centers.

This investment appears to align with the AI interests of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who were big boosters in the final weeks of the campaign. Following the announcement President Trump took questions from the press pool. WATCH:

Hussain Sajwani, has long-standing ties to President Donald Trump. His business, DAMAC Properties, worked with the Trump Organization on a Trump golf course in Dubai.  Mr Sajwani and Elon Musk joined President Trump for the New Year celebration in Mar-a-Lago.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that his platforms of Facebook, Instagram and Treads are going to change policies to permit free speech to reemerge on the social media networks.

According to the announcement, Zuckerberg admits his tech platforms have gone too far in their effort to control content, and censorship has been the outcome.  While providing no apology for the intentional control mechanisms that have created censorship, Zuckerberg notes he has met with Donald Trump and sees a “new opportunity” to reset his social media control to allow free speech to return.  WATCH:

Simultaneous to this announcement, Zuckerberg has offered Dana White a position on the board of directors.  Apparently, White has accepted. Dana White is a strong supporter of President Trump and the position by Zuckerberg is clearly an effort to open a channel of communication with the Trump administration.

Having spent some time drawing out the agenda within the Tech Bros as it pertains to that pesky ¹American liberty thing. We now return to our regularly scheduled anti-globalist programming where the Tech Bro alignment with MAGA is swimmingly synergistic.

Elon Musk is poking and prodding against the EU control apparatus, bringing an alternative perspective to our brothers behind enemy lines.  In his role as the snarky Toyko Rose of the modern social media interface, free speaking Americans -together with our comrades in Russia- can well enjoy Musk’s EU provocations.

The EU powerhouses of Germany, the U.K and France, are going bananas because Elon Musk is closely connected to President Donald Trump while simultaneously provoking them over their control of electoral outcomes.  Musk providing alternative, dare we say nationalist voices, is somewhat antithetical to the long-developed control system of the Brussels collective.

EUROPE – Elon Musk’s decision to host German far-right leader Alice Weidel in a livestream on X is sparking fury from European Union leaders and lawmakers, who on Monday urged Brussels to deploy its full legal might to rein in the billionaire tech magnate.

In response, the European Commission said the SpaceX founder and senior member of the incoming Trump administration could indeed land in legal hot water under the terms of the EU’s new digital rulebook, depending on the extent to which the Thursday livestream is deemed to boost Weidel unfairly over rivals ahead of Germany’s Feb. 23 election.

Businessman Donald Trump previously used the pseudonym John Barron and John Miller to drop information within media that served his interests. The activity long known, and the intent was easily understood.  President Trump has always known how to use media.

There are many who have questioned why President Trump has often allowed New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman access to him; and some have been frustrated because the outcomes of that access have often resulted in negative stories.  However, when taken in context, President Trump’s allowance of Haberman can be viewed through the same prism of his history using John Barron/John Miller.

As a result, while there is often a skewed negativity behind the outcomes of the Haberman stories, there are also elements of truth within the manipulated context of them.  A recent story about President Trump and Elon Musk carries that same sense.

Haberman writes that President Trump is growing weary of Musk’s constant proximity, calling the tone from Trump on the issue a situation where Musk is “clingy.”

While I doubt that President Trump would ever publicly distance himself from the influential billionaire, at least not while he serves a purpose for President Trump, there’s no reason to dismiss Haberman’s report as completely manufactured.

Musk is in the Trump orbit because President Trump has positioned Musk in the Trump orbit.  However, when considering the full background of Musk’s activity in politics, there is a clear intention for the tech bros to want the proximity. Because these are influence games, it is worth paying attention to the inside baseball aspects.

Recently there has been a lot of media coverage about the meetings between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Elon Musk. Musk has used his Twitter (X) account to promote the image of PM Meloni as a strong leader for her nation. Now this….

(REUTERS) – Italy is in advanced talks with Elon Musk’s SpaceX over a 1.5 billion euro ($1.55 billion) deal for the company to provide secure telecommunications to the government, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday.

Discussions are ongoing and a final agreement on the five-year contract has not been reached, but the project has already been approved by Italy’s Intelligence Services and Defence Ministry, the report said, citing unnamed sources.

Elon Musk and his Twitter (X platform) engineers have an Artificial Intelligence (AI) user engagement and information system known as Grok. Essentially, you can ask AI Grok questions, and it provides responses based on the coded values of the engineers who built it.

Recently people have noticed a change on the Twitter (X) platform as Elon Musk announced the algorithm was being modified by his team.  So, people started to engage with Grok and ask questions about their user account, the status changes evident from the algorithmic modifications, and the AI learning that is coded by Musk’s engineers.  Essentially, asking the Grok AI: “How do you perceive me (through my content)?”

The responses from the xAI Grok system are starting to alarm everyone.

.…”These posts might be subject to reduced reach because they could be perceived as promoting skepticism, conspiracy, or negativity towards individuals, institutions, or the media. However, without direct insight into X’s algorithms or specific feedback from X, these are speculative based on general platform behavior towards negative content. Remember, platforms often aim to reduce the visibility of posts that could lead to misinformation, harassment, or a negative user experience.”….

When asked how to avoid the Twitter platform diminishing their user voice, a typical response from Grok:

“Don’t criticize your government, don’t criticize foreign governments, don’t talk about conspiracy theories, stop telling people to fuck off in the comments, and don’t accuse government officials or members of the media of malfeasance or dishonesty.”

These are the parameters built by Elon Musk and his Twitter engineers.

This is what controls the ‘reach of speech’ on the platform.  Now, it would be simply funny but there are serious layers that must be discussed here.

The messaging within the attack in Las Vegas is very clear.  A Tesla Cyber Truck (Elon Musk) was used to attack the Trump Hotel.  Obviously, a targeted attack messaging the incoming presidency of Donald J Trump.  Meanwhile, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is from Louisiana, the location of the earlier attack.

The attack in Las Vegas is now linked to the early morning terrorist attack in New Orleans where a truck, also loaded with improvised explosive materials and devices ran into a crowd celebrating the New Year, killing 15.  Both the Tesla Cyber Truck and the pickup truck in New Orleans were rented through the app Turo.

[…] “I’m being told that New Orleans was rented through Turo, and so was ours,” Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in a press conference. “That’s another coincidence that absolutely is continuing to bear from our investigation that we have to continue to look into.”

Turo is a car-sharing app that lets private car owners rent out their vehicles. It is similar to Airbnb or Vrbo but for vehicles instead of homes. (more)

It’s strange; it’s just strange.  According to the Washington Post (Bezos) and New York Post (Murdoch), President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles is reminding all of the Trump nominees not to post anything on social media.

Why?

No, seriously; why the reminder?

According to information relayed by a ‘source’ inside the transition team, this warning is not connected to the recent blowup controversy over immigration and H1B visas.  So why the reminder?

As reported, the warning from Wiles does not apply to the DOGE team, Ramaswamy and/or Elon Musk, or to any of the Czars (David Sacks) and appointees who do not need Senate confirmation.  The warning only applies to those who are going through the confirmation process.  But again, the timing… why?

The nominees Wiles notes in her admonishment, have not been posting on social media. So, what triggered the reminder that says, “no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself.” It’s odd. The only issue that has erupted where that concern would be applicable are the issues around immigration and H1B visas. Yet the source on the transition team says Wiles was not speaking about that issue.

I consider myself a person with attune Spidey senses. Pretending just doesn’t work for me. When the principal officer says, “no member of the incoming administration or transition speaks for POTUS”, and then an anonymous transition person quickly says Wiles is not talking about team DOGE, my suspicions are that Wiles’s reminder was triggered specifically because of the dangerous controversy, and the anonymous transition team member is obfuscating the reason behind the warning.

In essence, I suspect the warning really is about what the Occam’s Razor indicates it would be about. As always, I could be wrong; but I’d be willing to wager on this one.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) appears on Fox News to discuss H1B visas and the inherent fraudulent use of the system by companies trying to cut costs and avoid hiring American workers.

Schmitt says H1-B visas are being “abused” in the U.S. and argues that many American workers are being forced to “train their replacements.” WATCH:
