      The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world’s smallest violin, the university said.

      “Officially”. What’s the governing body for this?

              That one I did know, and is equally weird without the context of it being some sort of road trip guide for the wealthy.

        MSNBC Recap of the situation.

        Basically Musk attacked Trump on Twitter over the big bill. It’s been escalating rapidly with Musk insinuating Trump should be impeached and threatening to start a “centrist” political party and Trump threatening Elon’s government contracts.

          Actually, a Musk party might be the best thing that happens to the US political system.

          Not because it would be a good party, but because it may lower the bar for more parties.
