    How Trump and Musk built their own reality

    The presidents of the United States have gotten lost in the illusions they created.

    James Murdoch dumps $13 million of Tesla shares.

    At least, that’s what this SEC filing says. He’s one of several insiders who’ve been selling lately, I notice; the chair of Tesla’s board, Elon Musk’s brother, and Tesla’s CFO all dumped tens of millions in shares last month, too. Tesla shares closed today at $222.15, down 41 percent this calendar year. They’re still up about 25 percent from this time last year. It remains unclear whether the continuing Tesla protests have rendered the brand toxic.

    Bluesky CEO Jay Graber has a message for Zuck.

    For those of you who don’t know Latin: Zuck’s tee is “aut Zuck aut nihil,” a play on “aut Caesar aut nihil,” which means “Zuck or nothing.” Graber’s tee is “mundus sine caesaribus,” or “a world without Caesars.” We love a woman who can shitpost IRL.

    Elon Musk v. Marco Rubio, who you got?

    While Musk and Rubio beefed about who should really be in charge of the state department, an unelected billionaire or the secretary of state, “the president sat back in his chair, arms folded, as if he were watching a tennis match.” The result of the meeting was the first attempt to put any brakes on Musk’s power. Good luck with that!

    Argentine shitcoin failure spurs presidential corruption probe.

    Javier Milei, president of Argentina who appeared with Elon Musk at CPAC, will be investigated for his involvement with $Libra, which collapsed just hours after its launch. His sister appears to be involved — the token co-creator says he bought the president’s endorsement through her. The US’s putative president, Donald Trump, has meme coins of his own.
