I have never seen this happen, and I don’t know what tools would confuse the strings “null” or “Null” with NULL. From the comments in this thread, there are evidently more terribly programmed systems than I imagined.

Maybe it shows the extent to which the USA is now pay-to-rule.

Asking the big questions: why doesn’t he walk around barefoot or in flip flops?

Unless Musk actually has two left feet, it’s AI.

Everyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known trickle down economics are a hoax since the 1980s. The problem is that almost half the people in the USA are ignorant supporters of fascism.

He has almost certainly done a lot of money laundering for dubious Russian organizations, and he has also funded his businesses with Russian money. His indebtedness to powerful Russians will have been part of their leverage. And it would be surprising if there weren’t at least a little blackmail thrown in too.

This is not a US official:

Alnur Mussayev, 71, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, made the explosive claim in a Facebook post on Thursday. He claimed that he served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy. One of its key objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

The allegation revives claims which Trump has denounced as “the Russia hoax,” and which dogged his first term in the White House.

Mussayev wrote that in 1987 “our directorate recruited Donald Trump, a 40-year-old American businessman, under the pseudonym Krasnov.”

Well isn’t that odd - I wonder how come it got taken down?

And even when reporting on it they link to the neo-Nazi site X for the video.
