Musk has regularly posted about the demise of white populations and their replacement by nonwhite immigrants. Saying you have a son who is apparently a quarter Indian doesn't change those statements.

In our reporting for the book and stories, sources who came into contact with Musk and his son, X Æ A-Xii, told us that he kept the child around Twitter's office to act as a security blanket. His children are there for his disposal.

kinda incredible that he sat down and was like, "the best forum for this apology is a paid advertisement in the wall street journal"

Bovino has often used the phrase “turn and burn” to describe Border Patrol operations, a reference to actions like smashing windshields, using explosives to blow down the doors of homes and engaging in car chases.

DHS is using explosives on people’s homes???

Silicon Valley’s Man in the White House Is Benefiting Himself and His Friends

At least he admits our information is "factual"!

A reminder: David Sacks is influencing AI and crypto policy while holding investment stakes in companies that will benefit from those policies. Factual.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”

Thank you for reading!

Imagine watching that and, as a reporter, immediately tweeting this seemingly without a single critical thought flitting through your head.

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has still not said anything publicly about federal agents raiding the home of one of his reporters last week.

He is, however, using his X account to refute apparent misinformation about himself within a few hours of it being posted.

Musk’s Chatbot Flooded X With Millions of Sexualized Images in Days, New Estimates Show

We set out to determine how many images of women and girls Grok created during its nudifying spree. What we found was “industrial-scale abuse,” experts said. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

Musk’s Chatbot Flooded X With Millions of Sexualized Images in Days, New Estimates Show

And no questions about Musk's Grok AI and why it's been creating nonconsensual sexualized image women and kids. I guess a private equity CEO isn't the best equipped to ask seemingly tough questions.

Musk, who has been wrong with many of his past predictions, says this before walking off stage: “For quality of life, it’s better to err on the side of being an optimist who is wrong, than a pessimist who is right.”

Little news out of this beyond Musk playing the hits with his company talking points. He predicted the “lowest cost place” to put AI data centers will be space and that will happen within three years, while AI will be “smarter than all of humanity collectively” within five years.

5 mins in and he's already talking about aliens

Elon Musk shows up on stage at Davos, a place he has hated on from afar for years. After tepid applause, his interviewer, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, asks the crowd to clap again.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino is seen deploying a gas canister at Mueller Park in south Minneapolis this afternoon.
