The country’s wealthiest bankrolled the election, wielding political power and influence like never before.

On the morning of Wednesday, November 6, Donald Trump made history as the first convicted felon to become president of the United States.

Now that Trump has emerged victorious, Musk stands to make huge gains from his financial support of the former president. According to Politico, Trump promised Musk he can lead a “Department of Governmental Efficiency,” a deliberately vague role which could hand Musk serious political power. Already, Musk has said he could use the role to take $2 trillion from the federal budget.

"The #Military Origins of #Facebook war on humanity
Facebook’s growing role in the ever-expanding #surveillance and “pre-crime” apparatus of the national security state demands new scrutiny of the company’s origins and its products as they relate to a former, controversial DARPA-run surveillance program that was essentially analogous to what is currently the world’s largest social network.
A few months into Facebook’s launch, in June #2004, Facebook co-founders Mark #Zuckerberg and Dustin #Moskovitz brought Sean #Parker onto Facebook’s executive team.

Parker, previously known for co-founding Napster, later connected Facebook with its first outside investor, Peter #Thiel.

As discussed, Thiel, at that time, in coordination with the CIA, was actively trying to resurrect at least one controversial DARPA program that had been dismantled the previous year. Notably, Sean Parker, who became Facebook’s first president, also had a history with the CIA, which sought to recruit him at the age of sixteen soon after he had been busted by the FBI for hacking corporate and military databases. Thanks to Parker, in September 2004, Thiel formally acquired $500,000 worth of Facebook shares and was added its board. Parker maintained close ties to Facebook as well as to Thiel, with Parker being hired as a managing partner of Thiel’s Founders Fund in 2006. Thiel left the Facebook board, which he had joined in 2005, in 2022 to focus on supporting “Trump-aligned candidates,” including J.D. Vance.

Thiel and Facebook co-founder Mosokvitz became involved outside of the social network long after Facebook’s rise to prominence, with Thiel’s Founder Fund becoming a significant investor in Moskovitz’s company Asana in 2012. Thiel’s longstanding symbiotic relationship with Facebook co-founders extends to his company Palantir, as the data that Facebook users make public invariably winds up in Palantir’s databases and helps drive the surveillance engine Palantir runs for US police departments, the military, and the intelligence community. Facebook data also feeds another Thiel-backed company, Clearview AI.

Notably, even LifeLog’s architect, Douglas Gage, has publicly commented on Facebook’s similarities to the program he had once hoped to lead. In 2015, He told VICE that “Facebook is the real face of pseudo-LifeLog at this point.” He tellingly added, “We have ended up providing the same kind of detailed personal information to advertisers and data brokers and without arousing the kind of opposition that LifeLog provoked,” precisely because it is now a private company and not a project housed at the Pentagon’s DARPA."

#Instagram hides Israel’s #Rafah carnage, bans and removes content

My note: I never doubted that #Zuckerberg would side with the Zionists. Always boycotted #FB and Instagram because of data monetization and political orientations, but this is cartoonish censorship, not a shred of elegance:
“Your video goes against our Community Standards on graphic violence” or "Something went wrong. Try again"... Oh do fuck off #Meta

Threads has lost half its users since launch, Zuckerberg tells staff

Meta Platforms executives are heavily focused on boosting retention on their new social media app Threads, after it lost more than half of its users in the weeks following its buzzy launch, CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees on Thursday.

Retention of users on the text-based app was better than executives had expected, although it was "not perfect," said Zuckerberg, speaking at an internal company town hall, the audio of which was heard by Reuters.

"Obviously, if you have more than 100 million people sign up, ideally it would be awesome if all of them or even half of them stuck around. We're not there yet."

Zuckerberg said he considered the drop-off "normal" and expected retention to grow as the company adds more features to the app, including a desktop version and search functionality.

Zuckerberg's Instagram helps connect and promote a vast network openly devoted to the commission and purchase of underage-sex content.

A WSJ investigation found certain emojis function as a kind of code, such as an image of a map — shorthand for "minor-attracted person" — or one of "cheese pizza," which shares its initials with "child pornography."
