X Money Account ... from Google AI summary

"Elon Musk's goal is to make X, formerly Twitter, a financial hub that allows users to handle all of their financial needs without needing a bank account. This would include sending and receiving money, buying and selling securities, and storing money"

Now imagine the value of his having at hand the world's largest and most valuable data bank of personal information. Would include a myriad of details about most every citizen from birth to death. Not only contact data like phone numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, text addresses; but also, financial information like income, wealth, real estate,,,,. Then there is personal information like family size, children with names and ages.
The list is endless. Proposed use... marketing! And, if that is the intent, you can bet your sweet ass that con man Trump is in on it! And Elonia Musk is expecting a big payout in taxpayer funds...like $400,000,000 in automobile purchases.

Sometimes he says stuff that is out of left field and I don’t even know where to put it.



“[says you can’t have multiple companies run ATC, system, it must be one company] … there are some countries that have unbelievable air controller systems and they bells would have gone off [for helicopter altitude in DC crash] but bells and whistles would have gone off, they have them where they can virtually turn the thing around it just would have never happened if we had the right equipment. [we need a bill to built the best control system]

… When I land in my plane, privately, I use a system from another country because my captain tells me, I’m landing in New York, I won't tell you what country, but I use a system from another country because the captain says the thing is so bad. … so we’re going to have the best system, it’s a lot of money but it’s not that much money …”

I don’t actually think they can use a foreign system to land at a US airport, but would be curious what foreign country he trusts to track his plane.

Bet Iran is curious, also.

USDS Engineering Director Resigns: ‘This Is Not the Mission I Came to Serve’

“The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position.

Anne Marshall, the now former director, spent more than a decade as an engineer at Amazon before joining USDS in September 2023. In December, she was promoted to director of data science and engineering, but only served around two months in the role before resigning on Wednesday.

… “Today I resigned from the US Digital Service. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be able to do this work, with this team of amazing people,” Marshall wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday evening. “Unfortunately, DOGE chose to fire one third of them last week. These cuts were shortsighted, ill-informed, and indiscriminate. The government and the American people will be worse off from the loss of these people.” …

“… Still, it’s unclear who is legally running DOGE, and not even DOGE employees know. On Monday, Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House Office of Administration, issued a sworn statement in a lawsuit claiming that Musk, who has championed and appeared to lead DOGE since Trump’s reelection, was not leading DOGE as its formal “administrator.” Fisher described Musk’s role as nothing more than “senior advisor” to the president with “no greater authority than other senior White House advisors.”

USDS staff are still in the dark regarding leadership as well. Multiple legacy USDS employees tell WIRED they have no idea who the acting administrator is, despite requesting their identity multiple times.…”

As Trump ‘Exports’ Deportees, Hundreds Are Trapped in Panama Hotel​


GIFT LINK 🎁 —> Under Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Some Migrants Are Being Sent to Panama
Click to expand...
“… On Wednesday, U.S. officials began flying hundreds of people, including people from Asian, Middle Eastern and African countries, to Panama, which is under intense pressure to appease Mr. Trump, who has threatened to take over the Panama Canal.

…
The Panamanian government has barred journalists from visiting the migrants. But The New York Times managed to interview several people inside the hotel, all of whom said they were asylum seekers being held against their will.

In one window visible from a sidewalk below the hotel, a woman clawed at a latchless glass pane in an attempt to escape. When she noticed journalists below, she held up a piece of paper that read “Afghan.”

She made hand motions that indicated an airplane, then her head falling off. The message seemed to be clear: A flight home meant death.

… A migrant from Iran, Artemis Ghasemzadeh, 27, wrote “Help us” in lipstick on one window. The Times, which was able to contact Ms. Ghasemzadeh and other deportees by cellphone, conducted interviews with her, several other Iranian deportees and a migrant from China. Many of the deportees wanted only their first or last names used out of fear that they would suffer reprisals if returned to their countries. …”
