Here’s the recording of our Twitter space with @elonmusk today. This is for everyone who cares about free speech and truth. Elon answered important questions. Listen to his own words and intentions instead of the spin by the corrupt media that he exposed.https://t.co/tv3v8U2SGe

Hey @elonmusk,

Can you find out what other elections were “handled” by the former Twitter regime?

Thank you,
The rest of the world.

Taibbi confirms that Twitter exec Vijaya Gadde played a key role in suppressing the Oct. 2020 Hunter Biden laptop story. Gadde was later appointed by the Biden admin to an advisory role shaping the Department of Homeland Security's "disinfo" policy. https://t.co/zVgMuTSnwv

SBF claimed he didn’t know how a $16.4 million Bahamas mansion got listed under his parents’ names …

Come on ... anyone who has closed on real estate knows how many documents get signed. This is not something you just accidentally mess up. 🤡🌎🤣 pic.twitter.com/NPvJJRNc1A

Here is the part where SBF admitted (last night) that when customers were buying & selling Bitcoin on FTX, they were not actually trading Bitcoin.

It was just a fake entry in their account at FTX.

Any media want to cover this?

Translation: Because there’s money to pay US based FTX users there’s no reason for the US Govt to investigate me. Who cares about non-US users who have lost everything.

Likely a coordinated strategy with major recipients of SBF donations in the US Govt. pic.twitter.com/FNJbsTQDiX

Expanding on DealBook:

When I filed, I'm fairly sure FTX US was solvent, and that all US customers could be made whole.

To my knowledge, it still is today.

I was expecting that to happen. I'm surprised it hasn't. I'm not sure why US withdrawals were turned off.
— SBF (@SBF_FTX) December 1, 2022

I just can't take it any more.
It's like OJ Simpson vowing to find the "real killer". 🤣🤣🤣

"To hear SBF tell it, he didn't have much of an idea of how his now-bankrupt companies—exchange FTX and trading firm Alameda Research—were being run." pic.twitter.com/CBFWoenfST

Rep. Waters, and the House Committee on Financial Services:

Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain.

I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify. https://t.co/c0P8yKlyQt

Caroline (Alameda CEO) is reportedly in NYC right now. She was in Hong Kong when this began.

The only reason to come back and risk arrest, she already has an immunity deal to testify against SBF.

They give the best deal to the first one who spills the beans. Just my opinion 🔥 pic.twitter.com/kYQOquSssH
