Elon Musk takes over Twitter

His car company is seeing sales drop, and in particular Tesla's market share in China is slipping, as the communist party pushes Chinese brands and has been kind of hostile to Tesla lately. BYD is eating Tesla's lunch there now, selling 3 cars for every 1 Tesla has been selling.

So as transparent as he always is. ... this is him trying to make nice to the Chinese.

It's not even likely to help him much.

 

The "fact check" was beyond dishonest. The number of migrants coming in has skyrocketed and so has the number of proceedings. Of course way more people are being deported. With the surge in migrants, the courts are seeing way more cases.

What I am saying is easily illustrated by the dip in numbers during the pandemic on his graph, when there weren't any cases being heard.

The same site, https://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/court_backlog/deport_outcome_charge.php, also allows you to look at the outcomes on a percentage basis (what he purposely didn't do because Mr. "fact check" is more interest in a narrative than being honest). ... And that shows that while Trump was president, a higher percentage of outcomes in those courts ended with a deportation than it has with Biden as president, even if in 2023, the percentage of deportations has risen quite a bit compared to 2021 and 2022.

 

The courts are not "dems."

Still. ... the button to switch to a percentage basis was sitting right there (as he knew, and probably clicked on), which would actually have demonstrated something very different than what he was trying to imply. i.e. "Since Biden has been president, those courts have deported a smaller percentage of migrants than they had been."

Of course what he was trying to do is beyond dishonest.
