Elon Musk received funding from sanctioned Russian oligarchs. A court document revealed that Musk's acquisition of Twitter, now rebranded as โX,โ was funded in part by an investment fund of Russian oligarchs Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich.

A thread about a model lured into the web of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Her name is Anouska De Georgiou. And she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to Donald Trump.

These Russians who gave money to Musk, Aven and Moshkovich, have strong ties to Vladimir Putin and have been subject to Western sanctions due to their associations with the Kremlin amid their war of aggression in Ukraine.

It is illegal to engage in financial transactions with individuals or entities on the sanctions list, including sanctioned Russian oligarchs, without a license from the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
3/
There may be exceptions or licenses available for certain transactions, and the specifics can be complex.
If Musk received funding from sanctioned Russian oligarchs without proper authorization, he will face regulatory issues and criminal prosecution.

This includes receiving investments or funding from Russian oligarchs. In the United States, the penalties for violating sanctions can be severe and include: Fines (up to $1 million or twice the value of the transaction + Criminal penalties (up to 20 years in prison)
4/
Since receiving money from sanctioned Russian oligarchs, Musk has done an about-face on Donald Trump. Musk now unabashedly supports Trump. And he does so on Twitter, a violation of his earlier promise.
8/
In light of the DOJโs recent indictment, it is clear the authorities are laser focused on Putinโs attempts to influence American politics. It is unlikely law enforcement would look past a social media siteโs owner illegally taking money from Putinโs sanctioned oligarchs.
7/
The Department of Justice does not publicly announce investigations/prosecutions. Elon Musk may have already received a Target Letter. He would not necessarily disclose such a thing. A grand juryโs proceedings are secret.
6/
Elon Musk has repeatedly boosted the accounts of MAGA posters Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, who the DOJ has now exposed as recipients of large sums of Russian money.
13/
Musk admitted he spoke to Vladimir Putin "more than once" about Ukraine.
Musk pushed Putinโs โpeace dealโ that involved Ukraine giving Crimea to Russia.

Trump: โYou burn an American flag, you go to jail for one year."
Also Trump: โYou beat a Police Officer with a flag pole, I give you a Presidential Pardon!โ

On Twitter, Elon Musk posted an AI-generated image, that violates his own policy, depicting Kamala Harris as a communist (in a red uniform with hammer and sickle) and captioned the image with the false statement that โKamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one.โ

Elon Musk has questioned American involvement in Ukraineโs self-defense efforts. He refused a check from the Pentagon, has proposed a pro-Russia plan to end the conflict, and has openly questioned Ukraine's strategy in the war.

Dimitri Simes is a Russian lobbyist; he runs a think tank that receives funding from Putin. In 2022,
@ElonMusk
spoke with Simes about his proposal to make Crimea part of Russia. Simes arranged a call between Musk and Kremlin officials.
Simes was just indicted.

Here, Elon Musk uses the Putinista term "Khrushchev's mistake" (not assigning Crimea to Russia in the Soviet era). It shows how serious Musk is about spreading Moscow's propaganda:

@elonmusk
It is well established that Elon Musk lobbied Trump to choose
@JDVance
as his running mate.
JD Vance:
- called Russiaโs war of aggression in Ukraine a "border dispute"
- expressed skepticism about providing aid to Ukraine
- implied that Ukraine is corrupt

There have been many other instances of Musk directly repeating or amplifying Russian propaganda, including:
- Saying Ukraine should give up Crimea to Russia

@JDVance
- Suggesting that the US was involved in a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (a claim also made by Russia)
- Sharing a misleading map of Ukraine that erased parts of the country (similar to Russian propaganda)

- Questioning the official narrative of the MH17 crash (where Russians were found to be responsible)

According to numerous sources and insiders, here's how it's going to go down:
1. Joe Biden will be nominated with zero issues;
2. Kamala Harris will remain his running mate;
3. The Party will unite behind Biden + Harris;
4. Donations โฌ๏ธ;
5. They will win re-election.
The Press knows the truth will make Trump a liar and a fraud.
Trump was hit by glass/plastic. Not a bullet. His shoes fell off so quickly b/c he wears lifts in them (see below). He was calling for his shoes b/c he didnโt want people to know about the lifts.
Has anyone else noticed the deafening lack of curiosity by major news organizations about the assassination attempt? Most breaking news is coming from local stations. Why in the world are news orgs so decidedly uninterested in finding out more information? Where is Trump's
Dear Right-Wing Idiots,
We donโt want Trump dead. We want to beat him in November. And then we want him held accountable for his (many) crimes.
