An African immigrant sent 10's of 1000's of of PRE-FILLED Ballot applications ( disguised as official Government docs ) to voters in swing states. His name is Elon Musk, & he spends every waking hour on Twitter talking about immigrant voter fraud.


Ok, major #spawnwatch news... I am blown away, because FOUR new clutches have appeared, taking us to a record-breaking 41 in total. Two were in shallow water, two in open water. Amazing news.

It’s already big news when a feral cat manages to kill a 4 kg pademelon around its own size. How much of a compulsive liar do you need to be to edit a graph from saying “puma” to “house cat” to make them out to be a predator of a prey item not even mentioned?

Seriously man, never in my life have I enjoyed CGI spectacle so much. The CGI is arguably the strongest this season. Making relatives of living animals look believable is probably much harder than animating dinosaurs. But here you don't think it's CGI for a second.

See, one China trawler can strip more fish in weeks than local fleets catch in months Now picture 10,000 of them, nonstop, year-round, ignoring recovery cycles and crowding waters near places like the Galápagos Islands This is eco-terrorism. And we’re still too quiet about it

You need to understand that Silicon Valley is increasingly being run by creepy, dead-eyed men who hate families, who hate kids, who have no respect for life, who would like to see much of humanity dead or enslaved. It’s our job to defeat the dystopia they’re so eager to build.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

Almost every other tweet on my feed is about Elon Musk’s PAC getting caught sending in illegally prefilled ballot applications. His strangle on the algorithm is breaking. If you’re on board with this I want you to retweet this and follow me.

This tweet is already starting to go viral and stressing the pro-Musk nature of the site's hidden algorithm. Let's push it.

This 65-year-old British grandma was visiting Yellowstone. She entered the US legally, had a valid tourist visa. Never had a run-in with the law in her life. ICE detained her, shackled her, locked her in a windowless prison for six weeks. Pure evil. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

Elon has pulled off the biggest voter fraud in Georgia in 2024. It’s time he is arrested, put on trial, and also investigated whether he has done similar ballot stuffing in other swing state to install trump in 2024.

If you are worried about the rise of AI - taking your job, sucking up all the energy / water, bombarding your kids with online slop, amplifying 'the machine', destroying humanity... - probably the most tangible thing you can do is to resist data centers coming into your community
