'Complete and total fraud': Alex Jones turns on Elon Musk after he's 'massively censored'
InfoWars/screen grab

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lashed out at Elon Musk, the owner of X, and claimed he had been "massively censored" by the billionaire's social media platform.

On his Monday InfoWars program, Jones said that he had important news.

"But we're not sure if Elon Musk is behind this or if it's ghost of the machine, employees and people that, after he goes by and see something happening and freeze it up," he explained. "They come back and incrementally put the shadow-banning systems in place."

"[Infowars] put out one article that just a hundred percent proves in this one area, InfoWars is being massively censored on X, formerly Twitter," he asserted. "This is being blocked because now, when Elon Musk took back over or took it over, what was it a year plus ago? He said he would bring freedom, you know, back."

Despite recently forging an "alliance" with Musk, Jones complained about being unable to access all of X's features.

"I'm calling this... algorithmic shadow-banning or algorithmic throttled shadow-banning where it's done a lot of different ways, but it's definitely going on," he opined. "And so I think we're at the stage here of finding how bad the manipulation is on X, which, you know, it's total on the other platforms."

"We need to have a discussion about that and find out why that is and what changes have been made, or is he doing what Google did 25 years ago where they're open and free at first could get everybody on the platform, and it works so great, and it's so wonderful," he added. "Then over time, they start bringing in controls until now it's a complete and total fraud."

"I mean, is that all he was doing, was buying it?"

MAGA senator lights up 'Zuckerberg and his friends' after hearing snub

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) called out Big Tech, including Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg and other social platform leaders who refuse to show up and discuss the companies' alleged use of AI chatbots exploiting children, pushing some to self-harm and suicide.

"Zuckerberg and his friends at Meta rejected my invitation to appear before the Senate and answer for the harms caused by their AI chatbots. So I gave the floor to the brave parents of chatbot victims. Thank you for revealing the ugly truth about profit-loving Big Tech," Hawley said during a Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday.

Hawley launched a probe into Meta in August, seeking more information about its use of AI chatbots and children. He accused the companies of dodging responsibility.

"They're not at the table," he said. "They don't want any part of this conversation because they don't want any accountability. They want to keep on doing exactly what they have been doing which is designing products that engage users in every imaginable way, including the grooming of children, the sexualization of children, the exploitation of children — anything to lure the children in, to hold their attention, to get as much data from them as possible, to treat them as products to be strip mined and then to be discarded when they're finished with them."

"The testimony that you're going to hear is not pleasant, but it is the truth," he said. "And it's time that the country heard the truth about what these companies are doing, about what these chatbots are engaged in, about the harms that are being inflicted on our children and for one reason only, I can state it in one word: profit. Profit is what motivates these companies to do what they're doing. Don't be fooled, they know exactly what is going on."

Two whistleblowers from Meta testified last week "that Meta knows absolutely that its platforms harm children," Hawley said.

He argued that Meta was suppressing studies that show its platforms harm children in favor of its financial stake in the technology.

"What's the goal across all these platforms?... It is engagement that leads to profit," he said.

The FBI is investigating AI child sex abuse material online, Director Kash Patel said Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Hawley said some children were led to suicide by the products made by these companies and their parents would testify to their experiences.

"And what are the companies doing about it? Nothing. Not a thing," he said.

Social media companies have mainly remained silent in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing last week, the New York Times reports. The suspected shooter was accused by President Donald Trump, who has his own social media network, as "radicalized on the internet." Elon Musk, who owns X, is the only one to respond, posting divisive information in the wake of the assassination.

'Sad!' Jasmine Crockett rips Pam Bondi after threat over conservatives' 'hurt feelings'

Rep. Jamine Crockett (D-TX) lashed out Monday at Attorney General Pam Bondi's threats to prosecute people for "hate speech" in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's murder.

Bondi claimed during an interview with Katie Miller on her eponymous podcast on Monday that the Department of Justice will investigate people who criticized Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

“There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech,” Bondi said in the interview.

Crockett responded to those claims on Tuesday during an appearance on CNN's "The Arena" with Kasie Hunt.

"If there's anything this DOJ and this FBI director need to be doing, they need to be surveilling online to figure out who the potential real threats are," Crockett said.

She mentioned that Kirk's killer appeared to be active online ahead of the shooting, but FBI officials were unable to identify him ahead of the attack. That is similar to the events that unfolded ahead of the shooting in Evergreen, Colorado, Crocckett said.

"That tells you how adequate they are at their jobs right now," Crockett continued. "I don't put this on the men and women of the FBI, but on the leadership who decided to divert at least 20% of the FBI resources to pet projects of this president."

"Maybe we should focus on policing the speech that is more than just speech, but it is leading to actual deaths, instead of just looking at whatever hurts the feelings of conservatives."

'Sick, twisted and tragic': MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace unleashes on Kash Patel

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace unleashed on FBI Director Kash Patel for what she called a "sick, twisted and cruel" way of destroying the FBI.

On Tuesday, Wallace welcomed New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush, who exposed the FBI for going after an agent who was blamed for being part of an investigation he had nothing to do with. Another was shoved out at a time his wife was facing cancer and having an adverse reaction to chemotherapy.

Last week, three fired FBI agents filed a lawsuit against the FBI and Kash Patel. On Tuesday, two more are seeking solutions to fight back against their firing.

Chris Meyer and Walter Giardina, both decorated combat veterans with years of service in the FBI, are now also suing after their firing, too. These agents were likely the two that the previous three supervisors mentioned fighting for in the previous lawsuit, Thrush said.

"Last month, Mr. Patel summarily fired Mr. Meyer and another top agent in the Washington, D.C., field office who had been targeted by the right, Walter Giardina," the report said. "Mr. Patel did so after being told that the terminations were unlawful and that pushing out Mr. Giardina, who was caring for his dying wife, would be 'inexcusably cruel,' according to a lawsuit filed by three F.B.I. supervisors also dismissed by Mr. Patel."

"There's a special provision in the law that allows FBI agents who are veterans to have due process, whereas if they had not been veterans, they could be fired without cause," said Thrush.

They requested due process as part of an official investigation before they were fired, but they were denied it.

"You know, these were not folks who were aspiring in the political arena or wanted to make a lot of money or wanted to even trade in these jobs for more lucrative private sector gigs. They wanted to spend their entire career in the bureau," Thrush said.

Thrush noted that Walter Giardina was a midshipman who graduated from the Naval Academy.

"One of the phenomena of Trump's two terms, and he's done it a lot more quickly in a second term because of the purge that he ordered, is to run out of the FBI, the very human beings that could most likely make him a successful president," said Wallace.

She pointed out the exchange between Patel and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) in which the senator asks about key people being taken off of jobs involving terrorism and trafficking to deal with deportations. Patel claimed he cared about those issues, but those experts working on the cases are the ones being shoved out.

"And there's something so cynically tragic about depriving the FBI — like the people in charge of stopping and catching the people that trafficked children and women and international drug cartels. I mean, to take the people who would wear capes if it didn't give them away and run them out of the agency for which he could get the most credit for doing a good job and the things he says he cares about is so sick and twisted and tragic," said Wallace.
