Bad bot
Please fix your bot. I’m one of the few that actually appreciates it (especially in an election year, with disinformation everywhere), but why would anyone want spam that just says “don’t know!” after every news story!? Either objectively and fairly rare sources, or say nothing.
It doesn’t objectively, fairly rate sources though, it is conservative propaganda. Here is just one example: https://slrpnk.net/comment/10562776
why would anyone want spam that just says “don’t know!”
I guess so you know it’s working, just doesn’t know the source, vs not working at all.
Even though this site screams “wordpress blogspam” – no editors listed, all the “authors” are listed as three letters without bios, and those authors cover the Everything beat (or close to it) – they are owned by Wirtualna Polska. According to their Wikipedia page:
Wirtualna Polska (WP [vuˈpɛ]) is a group of companies operating in the media and e-commerce sectors.
The WP Group owns the Wirtualna Polska horizontal portal founded in 1995 and known for being the first internet portal in Poland. It is currently the second largest online news source and one of the most quoted news media in the country. According to the Gemius/PBI surveys around 21 million Poles use WP’s internet products every month.
That’s a lot of Poles! So the parent company at least is big in Poland, apparently. But, not listing the source, authors, or editors is sketch no matter how many Poles use your internet products.
This exact story was published nearly simultaneously on DailyWrap.ca. There it’s credited to “ed. Tomasz Waleński.” Hey, that’s two of the three letters in “TWA,” the “author” of this story! Though it appears he’s the editor not the author. Tomasz Waleński is a real guy who works for WP. Here’s an interview he did with Steve Horrell who is also a real guy. DailyWrap.ca looks identical to EssaNews and is also owned by WP. DailyWrap.uk is another lookalike. They seem to own a few low-quality click harvesters. They don’t mention any of them on their brand page.
The earliest reporting of this story I could find is from WaPo. They mention 8VC but not a connection to Russia. This specific angle looks to be reported exclusively by a number of no-reputation sources possibly because it’s a pretty tenuous connection. Musk probably would’ve been aware of Joe Lonsdale but not individual investors or employees at 8VC. The Forbes article mentioned (but not linked! Dicks.) is an interesting read though.
Remember how Elon was very keen on limiting Starlink for Ukraine.
That makes a lot more sense now doesn’t it.
Why was that not considered treason?
Even writing that makes me feel so naive 😢
This list contains over a hundred entries
I love to dunk on Elon as much as anyone but surely out of a hundred+ investors there’s always going to be a shady Russian or two. And everyone with money in Russia will be related to an oligarch on the sanctions list.
It also depends on the size of the investment.
I’m sure they also wanted some foolish investors who don’t ask too many questions or try to steer the ship
Pika!
Lol. I can’t believe that even in this case all the shits in the world decided to go into this together.
putin does not care about financial return but if he gets it great. its about keeping it afloat and doing its job.
Uh oh. Looks like ya boi’s on the steroid.
Glad this quy isn’t in charge for any large company that works for the government or something…
Remember even the Atkins guy fell, got injured, put on like 40 lbs overnight and died? Elon appears to be on that path. Ugly, failed, miserable, turd…
