Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the co as long as the funds are routed thru the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs.

“It's certainly a policy of obfuscation,” A Verstein, a UCLA law prof *studied DEF contractors. “It hints at potentially serious problems. We count on cos. to be forthright with the govt about whether they’ve taken money from America’s rivals.”

Elon Musk lashes out at US judges as they rule against Doge

In our most captivating episode to date, we spoke with Phillip and Caroline Dennis, two ordained pastors who were in the air nearly 25 years ago while the attacks of 9/11 were happening. Their plane was diverted to a small town in Canada along with dozens of others, a heartwarming tale of humanity and compassion that was captured in the award-winning musical, Come From Away.

…Much of the world still relies on such #patronage systems, & they are both #corrupt & corrupting. Politicians hand out job appointments in exchange for #bribes. They appoint #unqualified people—somebody’s cousin, somebody’s neighbor, or just a party hack—to jobs that require knowledge & experience. Patronage creates bad government & bad services, because it means government employees serve a patron, not a country or its constitution.…

@briankrebs At some point the side effect will be that no US company can do any business with any #EU country any more. That's because without these laws corporations are forced to use #bribes to maximise the investor ROI. This automatically contradicts up front requirements for any company doing business in the EU with any country. This also applies to the largest #cloud providers.

"#Zuck, who suggested 2 weeks ago he wants Trump to impose US tariffs to protect his company from EU fines, agrees to hand over $25 million to Trump. Oh, but it supposedly is going to a “fund” for his “presidential library.”
-R Filipkowski

Trump's MO: bully, bribe, extort, blackmail, quid pro quos... The bribes have indeed made him a billionaire many times over recently from #TechBros, foreign & domestic donors...

Who thinks the $22M will be for Trump's library?

Screenshot of a Politico article titled "Meta settles Trump lawsuit over Facebook ban for $25 million," detailing the settlement terms, including a $22 million payment to support the construction of Trump's presidential library.

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 

🥥 Trump flunkey Boris Epshteyn may be about to learn that you don't take bribes around yam tits without the boss getting his beak wet.
"'Apparently despite his entire resume being “went to college with Eric Trump,” he’s been basically running Trump’s transition — a transition that still doesn’t exist, since the designated department heads all refuse to fill out their stupid “ethics” papers.'
