Fact-checking Elon Musk's claims in the Oval Office

Fact-checking Elon Musk's claims in the Oval Office

Elon Musk has made a number of exaggerated or unevidenced claims during an Oval Office event alongside President Donald Trump.

Elon was high as a kite. He brought his kid probably to distract from that fact. Trump looked sullen and defeated. Whose idea was this?

Is it just me or did trump look like elon's little b*tch in that press conference yesterday? - Sara Ironside

The US under Trump is simply a Putin friend & an enemy of Ukraine, Europe and democracy. - Anders Aslund

Oo, Oo, Trump Is Going To Russia and Putin Will Visit the USA!
President Donald Trump said that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a “lengthy and highly productive phone call” on Wednesday morning in which they agreed to work together “very closely” on a diplomatic resolution to the war in Ukraine and to visit one another’s countries.

So let me get this straight—Putin gives Trump a prisoner, and the next day Pete Hegseth is on TV parroting Kremlin talking points about Ukraine? What exactly was included in that trade deal? - Alex Cole

40% of the USA Are Gringos Loco

A new Economist/YouGov poll found less than 40% approve of the job Elon Musk is doing with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), while President Donald Trump is enjoying more favorable numbers.

According to polling data released on Wednesday, 46% overall approve of Trump’s job performance during his first weeks back in the White House, while 48% disapprove. The numbers of course drastically change once broken down along party lines, with 90% of Republicans approving and just 7% of Democrats feeling the same.

So, When Will Musk/Trump Eliminate the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.

Consumer prices rose 0.5% from December — the fastest pace since August 2023 — resulting in an annual inflation rate of 3% for the 12 months that ended in January, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Since everyone started calling Teslas “Swasticars” their stock is down by over 25% and Tesla sales have crashed all across Europe. So keep it up, y’all. Boycott Swasticars!

Musk and Trump are trying to cull the herd, starting with USAID and continuing with the dismantling of our federal workers, healthcare system, consumer protection, financial systems, etc...I always felt Trump was trying to kill people during the COVID pandemic. When he suggested bleach and horse medication, I knew.

They're trying to cull the herd worldwide. Just ask the Palestinians.
