Zitat von alpha_beta im Beitrag #102 Die Elon-Trump Konversation
Zur Vorwarnung: das Gespräch war lang - beinahe zwei Stunden. Es begann etwas über eine halbe Stunde verspätet, nachdem der Space (nicht X selbst, aber der Audiostream) durch einen massiven DDOS-Angriff erst einmal lahm gelegt wurde. Es startete dann, nach MESZ, um 03:02 und endete um 04:47. Kurzzusammenfassung:
Zitat The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox·4h The Elon/Trump Interview: Must-See Moments All the key takeaways in under 5 minutes. 🧵 THREAD
The interview began with Elon Musk highlighting a massive DDoS attack that disrupted the live broadcast and delayed it well past its scheduled 8 PM broadcast. Musk said this was a clear indication of the strong opposition to allowing President Trump’s voice to be heard. "This massive [DDOS] attack illustrates that there's a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say."
From there, the conversation shifted to a more ominous topic—the ideal location for a sniper. Musk found it particularly interesting how Thomas Crooks had chosen the most obvious spot for an assassination attempt and nobody saw it coming. "If the goal is to assassinate, what's your favorite spot? That building. That building would be number one," Musk observed, with Trump agreeing, "That would have been the spot."
Musk praised Trump for his response to an assassination attempt, noting that instead of retreating, Trump continued to fight with a defiant spirit. "Your actions after that assassination attempt were inspiring," Musk told Trump, who reflected on how that day deepened his belief in God. Trump credited a famous immigration chart for turning his head and ultimately saving his life.
The discussion then turned to policy, with Trump criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her hypocrisy. Trump accused Harris of stealing his "no tax on tips" idea while simultaneously supporting increased IRS surveillance on people's tips. "These people are FAKE," Trump declared, pointing out how the administration had previously hired 88,000 IRS agents to target waitresses and caddies over tips, only for Harris to adopt his policy when it suited her politically.
Musk then issued a dire warning about the future of America if the current border policies continue. "I'm not sure we've got a country if open borders persist for another four years," Musk warned. Trump stressed that if Kamala gets into office, it would lead to 50 to 60 million people entering the country from all over the world.
In the night's funniest moment, Trump quipped that Joe Biden’s IQ is so low, “he might not even have an IQ at all.” “There's nothing on the board that goes this low.”
As the conversation continued, Musk proposed a bold plan to cut government spending, linking inflation directly to government overspending. "Inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it's written by the government," Musk explained. He suggested the creation of a "government efficiency commission" to scrutinize and reduce unnecessary expenditures, pointing out that the national debt’s interest payments have now surpassed the defense budget—a situation that demands immediate action.
Finally, Musk addressed the issue of censorship, calling out European Commissioner Thierry Breton for trying to censor his conversation with Trump.
Breton’s warning—“With great audience comes greater responsibility”—was met with a sharp response from Musk, who shared a meme telling Breton to "take a big step back and literally f—k your own face."
In contrast to the censorship regimes across the world, Musk told Trump, “I think it's obvious that you're a believer and an advocate of free speech.” Why? “Because during your first time as president, you were attacked relentlessly every day, often very unfairly with false attacks. And you didn't try to shut down the media. You didn't try to inhibit their freedom of speech. And I think that says a lot.”
This viral conversation, which has amassed over 88 million views in just five hours, can be listened to on replay on Donald Trump’s 𝕏 page.
Nach dem verspäteten Start durch die DDOS-Attacke lief der Stream übrigens völlig reibungslos - was der Reaktion von Team Kamala ein eigenes Flair verleiht.

Zitat Brussels has accused its internal market commissioner of going rogue by sending a letter to Elon Musk threatening punishment if content posted on social media site X was found to place EU citizens at risk of “serious harm”.
Thierry Breton, the French commissioner, had posted the warning letter on X, the platform owned by Musk, hours before the billionaire interviewed US presidential candidate Donald Trump, also on X. On Tuesday the European Commission denied that Breton had approval from its president Ursula von der Leyen to send the letter. “The timing and the wording of the letter were neither co-ordinated or agreed with the president nor with the [commissioners],” it said.

Zitat So Donald Trump dies and he goes to hell. When he get there he meets the devil. And the devil says: "Listen - you're definitely meant to be here. But we don't have any room for you. So in order for us to accept you in, we're going to have to let somebody go. But I'm going to make it fair, and I'm going to let you choose who gets to leave. So come with me."
So he takes Trump to three different doors, and he says: "Behind one of these doors is somebody you can set free and take their place. Like I said, I'm going to let you make the decision." So Donald Trump opens the first door, and he sees Barack Obama, and he is jumping off a diving board, landing in the pool, getting out of the pool, getting on the diving board and jumping back in. And he's doing it over and over, repeatedly. And Trump goes: "You know, I don't think I can do this for eternity...so no, I don't think I can do this."
And the devils says: "Alright, we'll check door number two." He opens up door number two, and George Bush is in there, and he's got a hammer and he's breaking rocks. And he just keeps breaking rocks, breaking rocks consistently. He breaks one rock and another rock appears. And Trump goes: "You know - I've got a bad shoulder. Golf injury. Can't be doing that either. So let's go back and check door number three."
So the devil takes him to door number three, and he opens the door and there is Bill Clinton, strapped to a bed. And Monica Lewinsky comes in and does what Monica Lewinsky was famous for doing - over and over and over again. And Trump goes: "You know...yeah, I think I can handle this. I can get used to this. I'll take door number three."
And the devil says: "All right. Monica, you're free to go!"

Zitat Trump is ‘safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ campaign says in statement
Updated 2:37 PM EDT, Sun September 15, 2024
The Trump campaign on Sunday said former President Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity.”
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Zitat The former president was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The course was immediately locked down, according to a source familiar. The Secret Service said on X that it is working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a protective incident involving Trump. The Secret Service said the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

Mal wieder einer der sich häufenden Fälle, in denen X/Twitter die einzige Informationsquelle darstellt. Bei den deutschen wie englischsprachigen Nachrichtenkanälen wirft Google nur die außerordentlich wichtige Neuigkeit aus, daß Trump sich böseböse über Taylor Swift ausgelassen haben soll, weil die erklärt hat, Kamala wählen zu wollen. Man muß halt Prioritäten setzen.
Ich setz' mal die Updates hierher, wie sie hereinkommen. Wenn nicht expreß verlinkt, stammt das vom oben eingestellten CNN-Link.
Zitat A person has been detained in connection with the incident at Trump International Golf Club, according to a law enforcement source.

Zitat The afternoon incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, comes two months after an assassination attempt against the former president at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally that sparked scrutiny of the US Secret Service.
Zitat West Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said during a Sunday news conference that his office was informed at 1:30 p.m. ET of shots fired by the Secret Service. Trump had been playing golf at the time, moving between holes five and six, a source briefed on the matter told CNN.
A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of the fence and “engaged” with the person, Bradshaw said. The person, who was later taken into custody, was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, an official said.
“We are able to catch a witness that came to us and said, ‘Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tag,’ which was great,” Bradshaw said.
Authorities alerted the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, which detained the person. The witness was able to then identify the man, who has not been named.
FBI shares pictures of rifle, backpack and GoPro 'assassin' had hidden in the bushes while lying in wait for Trump on his Florida golf course
New images reveal the backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene where he was targeting Donald Trump.
Multiple reports name the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh.
Officials said U.S. Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of the bushes two holes ahead of where Trump was golfing on Sunday, prompting the agents to fire at the suspect.
Im Klartext: der Schütze befand sich zwei Löcher weiter auf dem Golfplatz in der Richtung, in der Trump sich bewegte. Der Schütze wußte vorher, wo und wann Trump dort spielen würde. Dies ist aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht öffentlich bekanntgemacht worden. Trotz des Attentats vor zwei Monaten hat der Secret Service heute erklärt, es habe keinen vollen Personenschutz mit vorheriger Abiegelung des Platzes gegeben, "weil Trump nicht amtierender Präsident sei und somit keine Mittel dafür bereitstünden."

Zitat The person in custody in connection with the apparent attempted assassination is Ryan Wesley Routh, according to three law enforcement sources. The self-employed affordable housing builder in Hawaii went on social media to weigh in on politics and current events, at times criticizing the former president, and expressed strong support for Ukraine.
Routh traveled to Ukraine following Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor more than two years ago, according to video and images geolocated by CNN to Kyiv’s Independence Square.
Trump had no public events on his schedule for Sunday, and his golf game was a last-minute addition to his itinerary, two sources familiar with the matter said.
Zitat Semenovych@IvanSemenovych A reminder: Ryan #Routh was never in any branch of the #Ukrainian military. He's repeatedly lied & misrepresented himself. 9:29 AM · Sep 16, 2024
Zitat King Jack Strong 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈@v8mile Warning about Ryan Routh: he is not, and never has been, associated with the International Legion or the Ukrainian Armed Forces at all. He is not, & never has been, a legion recruiter. He is misrepresenting himself and lying to many people. 12:20 PM · Jun 21, 2024
Zitat Azov Brigade@azov_media A video from 2022 of a rally in support of the Mariupol garrison in Kyiv, attended by the suspected Donald Trump assassination attempt, Ryan Wesley Routh, is circulating on social media.
We would like to officially state that Ryan Wesley Routh has no connection to Azov and has never had any connection to Azov. The peaceful demonstration he attended was open and anyone could join it. He was caught on the video filmed by the protesters by accident.
We believe that the spread of the narrative about the possible connection between Azov and Ryan Wesley Routh is playing along with Russian propaganda and discredits the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine and the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine in general. 12:50 PM · Sep 16, 2024
