> At least one of those is clear propaganda talking points you picked up from less-than ingenuous sources:

And yet a key HDD seems to have failed, Which magically was the only source of all email about this.

I'm not really interested in arguing about this. we could go point for point all week. But the "exhaustive report" is mostly before Obama was president, so it's not surprising that it found both sides were targets. It would be more interesting and conclusive if from 2010-2016 no wrongdoing was found. Wonder why in 2017 they choose to look from 2004 until only 2013....

Also calling my talking points less-than ingenuous while quoting obviously controversial wikipedia articles is not a good look. (especially when we know that both sides use wiki to sow falsehoods).

> Please elaborate on this agenda, seeing as he's the one openly and admittedly breaking (at least in case of anyone not a sitting president) laws.

Seeking to depose the president because you don't like him is treasonous. So far the drafted AoI don't contain anything that 99% of objective people would consider impeachable.

> Either he's ignorant of the effects [1] and thus an idiot, or he's aware and rationally acting on said information. Pick one.

Easy, he's ignorant. Don't think that makes him an idiot, he's just human. His tweeting pattern hasn't changed much since he got elected. The content is even fairly similar. Is Elon an idiot? Better yet, are all twitter users idiots? they enjoy sharing their ideas online they don't think past the fact that what they consider a joke or insignificant is seen as market moving by others. I think we can all agree that Musk doesn't make the best choices when it comes to twitter but we can also agree that he's far from a fool.

For better or worse most people treat twitter as their personal-public diary and no one is considering the consequences of what they write in their diary.

Your need to seek malice speaks volumes about your ability to be objective about this.

I don't plan on responding to you anymore because I hate this type of argument. you are definitely not gonna be moved and are probably stewing right now at all my alt-facts and "fake news" and I spend all day reading the talking points you're throwing at me from CNN, NPR, vox and already have my responses queued up. Let's just agree that you think OMB and I think he's more of the same.
