"The Jews bring it on themselves" is one of the oldest antisemitic canards out there. Msk isn't being edgy here, he's relying on a trope that's older than dirt and pretending he just figured it out.

I love the implication that the erratic management, mass layoffs, incoherent moderation, destruction of verification, decimated engineering staff, serial unbanning of racists, and crumbling infrastructure had nothing to do with twitter losing half its value. Nope, just Jews.

This is Comer's big witness who "went missing" and was supposedly gonna blow the whistle on Biden & Hunter. Turns out he's an unregistered Chinese agent.

Chairman @RepJamesComer’s “very credible witness” was just indicted for arms trafficking, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, making false statements, and being an unregistered foreign agent for China. This is who the House GOP is relying upon for their baseless allegations.
Gal Luft, a very credible witness on Biden family corruption, provided incriminating evidence to six officials from the FBI and the DOJ in a meeting in Brussels in March 2019. We have no reason to believe the FBI & DOJ acted on this info. Americans deserve answers. @NEWSMAX
