Great piece - it’s just a real pity you were put in the position of having to write it.

To be fair, you are a Trump supporter who wrote an article mocking Trump being afraid of racism for not mowing down BLM demonstrators. You also condoned Trump for not listening to you and blamed him for losing his Twitter account. So , I take it, you wanted Trump to remain on Twitter .

Why would anyone take what you have to say as gospel ?

You are also a Thiel friend, aren't you ?

I can't stand Musk but obviously you were a 'rightie' at some point. How 'rightie' were you ?

Not to be rude but I didn't write such an article. I haven't spoken to Thiel in a few years and I don't think he would see me as a friend. Do try to keep up now.

A few years...sure..

From what I'm aware, he used to own a doxing/OSINT Bounty Board called WeSearchr. There's also a troubling personality from the past called EugeneNix, as well as associations with Brett Stevens of Amerika.org. Lots of Theilite and 09A ties in this bit of right wing conspiracy internet.

It didn’t really operate as you claim it did. I don’t know any Brett Stevens as far as I know.

Not to be rude...but are you this Charles Johnson....(flashing the White Supremacy sign) ?

Ooops can't do photos on here...

As for keeping up....aren't you Fockknuckle Gaetzes (or however you spell that punks name) friend ?

If he can't pull all the levers in his own company, then there's no exit for anyone below him either. There are no /ourguys/. Much less those who used to own WeSearchr.

For what it’s worth I think I was ill equipped to deal with all the people who were nefarious coming out of the woodwork to fuck me.

And yet you're one of the venture capital elite? And you didn't hire Patrick Ryan to be your fixer and fuck them back? If you're not prepared for it, how can anyone be? And if that's the case, then I'm right about the entire thing being doomed and we should just force Israel to launch Samson and nuke the world so that no life survives.

I have never hired Patrick Ryan and never met him or heard of him.

Again: I wasn't implying that you had, but someone in your circles should have known about fixers, and found one to deniable asset Sicario your problems away like all the other elites do.

Oh I don’t believe that works and don’t support it.

Then what was WeSearchr other than crowdsourcing fixers?

You should have, and if you can, you should still. He's an AI warfare expert, and may be one of the few able to parse the whole ChatGPT becomes Woke-u's Basilisk problem.

Correct. And I’m sympathetic to people screwing things up though perhaps not at his level.

It isn't. How can you be so wrong about so much so often? :-D

I was wrong about so much for a reason if you can believe that.

Do you want to talk about that?

Eh I just mean, if I wasn't wrong, I wouldn't have arrived at the destination right in front of me.

I've just been humbled recently by the universe.

It's not. I was told directly by Musk's people that it's the Netanyahu folks within Twitter.

Likud?

Ask Eric Garland sometime how rapidly an Israeli botnet came after him when he mentioned how odd it was they brought in an Israeli team to demolish a building in Surfside after refusing Federal help.

And just how incredibly fast it shut down when I pointed out it was rolling suicide to weld your influence networks to such a contraption - and then attack Eric Garland's timeline, the one place on the Internet where we discussed it all the time.
