Elon Musk says that his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is a better source of information than the traditional news media. “I don’t read the legacy media anymore,” boasts Musk, who asserts that X has become “the collective consciousness of humanity.”

In a move straight out of the Twitter and Tesla playbook, Elon Musk is apparently camping out just steps away from the White House.

Around the same time as Musk’s post, hundreds of thousands of federal workers received an email also titled “Fork in the Road,” with a similar offer: Simply send an email to the Office of Personnel Management with the word “Resign” in the subject line, and you’ll receive eight months’ pay, so long as you reply before Feb. 6.

Musk tried a similar scheme after his takeover of Twitter. What could go wrong with applying it to millions of federal workers?

Musk didn't ban Pride content. The post quoted an article generated by artificial intelligence, and no credible news reports support the claim.

Elon Musk is only one week into his role in President Donald Trump’s new administration, but the US federal government is already rolling out the Twitter playbook to manage its spending and personnel.

Wall Street banks, finally within striking distance of offloading debt tied to X, have a sweetener on offer for potential buyers: a claim on the social-media platform’s stake in Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture.

For a genius, billionaire industrialist, Elon Musk seems pretty dumb. Dumb is a strong, declarative word, but I’m not sure how else to describe someone who spent $45 billion on a company worth a third of that, and then proceeded to set that investment on fire.

The world’s richest man has paid to boost his online warriors into global leaderboards, raising questions about his prowess — and his need for digital praise.
