Never before in human history has a person lost as much money in one year as Elon Musk did in 2022. The Tesla and Twitter boss lost $200 billion last year. However, with his remaining $137 billion, he is still the second richest person in the world.

According to Bloomberg, Elon Musk was worth around $340 billion in November last year. That has melted together in the last few months. In total, the Tesla and Twitter boss lost $200 billion.

This is primarily due to the crash in Tesla shares. Although it is still not a bargain and is ahead of the renowned car manufacturers Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen in its rating, it is still far below the value of the previous year.

Musk would get bogged down in the Twitter chaos, according to his critics, who blame him for the stock’s plunge. Musk himself locates the problems in a completely different place, because he thinks Tesla is in an excellent position. He tweeted: “We have no control over the Federal Reserve”, alluding to the monetary policy of the American central bank, which, like that of the ECB, has been criticized by many experts due to the massive interest rate hikes.

Whoever is to blame, it’s a record for history that is unlikely to be contested anytime soon.

‘Twitter Files’

The new Twitter boss nevertheless dropped another bombshell: He is making large amounts of internal documents and emails publicly available that reveal massive censorship and manipulation by the former Twitter management during the Corona “pandemic”. Unwanted critics of the official Corona line were blocked and their statements censored on a large scale.

Musk himself bluntly stated on a December 24 podcast: “To be honest with you, almost every conspiracy theory that people have had about Twitter has turned out to be true. Is there a conspiracy theory about Twitter that hasn’t turned out to be true? So far all have turned out to be true. If not truer than people thought.”

The “Twitter Files” provided by Musk, show how the administration of US President Joe Biden put massive pressure on the online service. But even under Donald Trump, the US government was not idle. Both administrations urged Twitter and other social media platforms to block information that did not fit their Corona narrative and highlighted others that suited them. As a rule, those responsible for Twitter bowed down.

Trump as bad as Biden

At the start of the pandemic, the Trump administration urged tech companies to fight “misinformation” about “grocery store rushes”. However, there was really a rush to grocery stores. Far from being misinformation, it was a real phenomenon that the Trump administration did not want to bring to the fore.

Then, when Biden took office in January 2021, his administration was concerned about “anti-vaccination accounts” and particularly that of journalist Alex Berenson. The latter’s Twitter account was suspended hours after Biden claimed that social media companies were “killing people” for allowing “misinformation” about vaccines. Berenson later sued Twitter and was eventually able to reach a settlement.

According to the Twitter Files, Biden’s team was “very upset” that the online platform was not being more aggressive in removing accounts it did not approve of. More seriously, Twitter censored unwanted views, including those of doctors and scientific experts, whose opinions conflicted with the official White House position.

This applied, for example, to the tweets by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School: Kulldorff has repeatedly contradicted US health officials and the American left. One of his tweets about vaccines was flagged as “false information” by a moderator, despite the fact that it was essentially expert opinion, consistent with vaccination policies in several other countries. His “offence” was that he had deviated from the “Covid guidelines”.

Andrew Bostom, a Rhode Island doctor, was also permanently banned from Twitter for spreading alleged “misinformation,” including a tweet referring to the results of a peer-reviewed study of mRNA vaccines. After Boston’s lawyer contacted Twitter, an internal review found only one in five alleged violations was actually one – and that is only because he cited data that, while legitimate, did not fit the narrative of the public health establishment.

Another Hindu man has been murdered by Islamists for standing up to the sexual harassment, molestation and stalking of Hindu girls.

Krishna Kumar had opposed the sexual harassment and molestation of school-going girls, including his own cousin sister, by local Muslim youth in Takiya panchayat area under the Desari police station of Vaishali district, Bihar around 6 months ago. Ever since, the Muslim group had been baying for his blood and had issued threats to kill him. On Friday evening, Krishna Kumar and another man Shankar Ram were attacked – Krishna was injured and shifted to hospital, but passed away the next day.

Angry locals obstructed traffic on NH 122B between Hajipur and Mahnar with Krishna’s dead body, demanding justice.

“On the evening of December 30, this incident of a fight occurred at Desari police station. Two people, Shankar Ram and Krishna Kumar, had sustained injuries in the incident and were shifted to a hospital in Hajipur. Krishna Kumar passed away in the Hospital on December 31. Locals gave the names of a few people involved in the fight. Accused Muna has been arrested by police. We have started further investigation.” Vaishali SP Maneesh (IPS) told media.

As per Hindi daily Jansatta, there is widespread communal tension in the area after this incident. However, going by the secular state’s playbook which dictates covering up any anti-Hindu hate crime, SP Maneesh denied there was any communal tension!

“There is no communal tension in the area. The situation is entirely peaceful,” he has been quoted as saying by ANI.

“There was a personal enmity going on. My brother had assaulted him (accused) for molesting our cousin sister six months ago. They had said that they would kill or stab him anywhere and at any time,” Krishna’s family member told ANI.

Here are some other recent incidents of Hindu men being murdered for resisting the sexual harassment of their female family members –

Dharam Sahu lynched by Muslim mob for opposing niece’s stalking: Darbhanga, Bihar

Aditya Tiwari (15) stabbed to death by Taif Khan and others for opposing sexual harassment of schoolgirls: Saran, Bihar

Businessman Dhruv Tyagi killed by Muslim neighbours for protesting daughter’s sexual harassment: Delhi

Father lynched to death for filing police complaint over minor daughter’s abduction by Muslim youth- UP

Faced with police apathy or worse when they go to lodge complaints, and subject to abuse, violent revenge attacks and mob lynching when they confront Islamist molesters and stalkers – this is the real state of ordinary Hindus in the secular Republic of India in 2022. Unless Hindus rise as one and change the fundamental nature of the Indian state, their fate in the coming decades will be no different from that facing the community in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi

On Sunday, the president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, stated that any Muslim reciting prayers for a departed non-Muslim’s soul is ‘haram’. The cleric was responding to a question about the organisation about a condolence meeting in Moradabad by members of the Muslim community for PM Modi’s mother Heeraben, who died on Friday.

The cleric had said, “Those who have organised the condolence meeting and participated in it, need to seek forgiveness from Allah”. He had termed the act ‘haram’ (that which is prohibited in the holy Quran and thus a sin for Muslims). 

The Maulana added that the recitation of prayers by a Muslim for a departed soul, was only acceptable when the deceased was a Muslim. “It is essential to be a Muslim for this right. To pray for a non-Muslim deceased is najayaz (unauthorised) and should not be done”, he had said. 

However, after facing harsh criticism for his words, the Maulana on Monday released a video in which he stated that his remarks were misunderstood to make it appear as if they were made for the PM’s deceased mother. Though he did not retract his remarks, he claimed that they were not directed at Prime Minister Modi’s mother.

“It was a local matter on which I spoke. I request that my statement not be used in connection with the PM’s mother”, he said.

Heeraben Modi, the mother of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, breathed her last on Friday (December 30) at the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology & Research Centre in Ahmedabad. She was 100 years old. She was hospitalised on December 28 after her health situation deteriorated, and while she had started to recover initially, she passed away on the next day at 3.30 AM. Condolence messages from world leaders poured in for Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the demise of his mother.

PM Modi had paid tributes to his mother on Twitter, saying that he always felt the holy Trinity in his mother, which included the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi and a life committed to values. ‘A glorious century rests at the feet of God,’ he said. After carrying out his mother’s cremation in the morning, PM Modi was back to work on the same day.
