No mention of the fact that he also met with Hakeem Jeffries?
Musk keeps sliding to the right, faster and faster. He is now promoting false narratives on Twitter. This is from an email I just received from Judd Legum, who has broken several stories about DeSantis and Florida. This, combined with Meta welcoming Trump back to Farcebook, is another warning sign that the people who support far-right and fascistic bullshit are not giving up easily.

In 2023, Popular Information has documented the extraordinary assault on academic freedom in Florida by Governor Ron DeSantis. This week, Popular Information broke the news that the Manatee County School District instructed teachers to make their classroom libraries inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The directive was issued as part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by DeSantis — all based on the premise that teachers are using books to “groom” students.
Twitter, under the control of DeSantis-supporter Elon Musk, is attempting to undermine Popular Information's reporting. The platform appended a "Community Note" to our viral thread about Manatee, indicating that our tweets were "misleading."
The note appended by Twitter was false. The Manatee County School District explicitly instructed its teachers to "[r]emove or cover all classroom libraries" or risk criminal charges. I obtained the document distributed to principals and teachers, which you can read HERE.

Well, to label a factual tweet as "misleading" seems to be a step much further in the untruthiness zone.
And to label a chance encounter as a meeting is not just disingenuous, it's flooding the zone with shit.
"An aide to Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) threw cold water on an earlier claim by Elon Musk that he’d had a meeting with the minority leader at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, saying that their interaction was unexpected and brief. The aide told CNN reporter Oliver Darcy that Jeffries had been meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in his office when Musk rolled up. “They didn't have a meeting. They met,” the aide said, according to Darcy. “It was mostly just an introduction.” The refutation came in response to Musk’s earlier tweet, in which he claimed, “Just met with @SpeakerMcCarthy & @RepJeffries to discuss ensuring that [Twitter] is fair to both parties.” It was unclear whether Musk’s meeting with McCarthy had been pre-planned, but the speaker told reporters afterwards that the Twitter chief “came to wish me ‘happy birthday,’” according to The Hill. McCarthy added: “We’ve been friends for years.” An unnamed source told CNN that the subject of Twitter came up while Musk was in McCarthy’s office, but did not elaborate."

Musk said that he’d met with the House speaker and the Democratic minority leader “to discuss that [Twitter] is fair to both parties.”

Why did anyone assume it was other than misinformation when it was doing the bidding of the Biden administration.

The jury is still out on that for the ex-president. Certainly the ex head of any FBI was working with the same Russian agent as Giuliani and Manafort.

There may never be a jury. But everybody who has investigated says absolutely yes, cooperation and conspiring and coordination for mutual benefit/profit.

Yeah right ... Me, the NYT, WAPO, CBS, CNN.
The pertinent question at this point is not whether the laptop is legit, it is. The pertinent question is how so many were duped into believing it was Russian disinformation. Musk has done us all a service by shedding light on that deception.
