Political consultant Rick Wilson’s X account was suspended following the publication of his article, “Kill Tesla, Save the Country,” and subsequent announcements of a plan to undermine Elon Musk and Tesla. Wilson claims his intention was not to incite violence but rather to utilize market forces—boycotts, lawsuits, and withdrawal of subsidies—to damage Tesla’s brand and thereby weaken Musk’s influence. He frames this as a necessary action to counter Musk’s support of Donald Trump and their perceived threat to democracy. Wilson likened X’s current state to a platform overrun by Nazi ideology, further justifying his departure.

This inaccurate portrayal ignores the underlying reality: Trump’s economic policies are driven by corruption and a lack of intellectual capacity.

Donald Trump claims he didn’t sign the Alien Enemies Act proclamation. This assertion, however, directly contradicts official White House documentation clearly stating his signature and approval of the document. The stark contrast between his denial and verifiable evidence raises serious questions about his cognitive abilities, his truthfulness, or perhaps both.
