Donald Trump’s “Major Announcement”: Urging Followers to Spend $99 on Badly Photoshopped NFTs of His Face
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Donald Trump, former leader of the free world, who is running for president again, had a “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT” Thursday and it was…that he’s selling digital trading cards. No, seriously, Bess Levin has the latest on his extremely bizarre new business scheme. Speaking of Trump, Congress is running out of time—we’re talking days here—to reform the law Trump and his allies attempted to exploit to overturn the 2020 election. The good news? Eric Lutz says Chuck Schumer seems optimistic that they can get this done. Bad news: It’s going to be a nail-biter.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk is minimizing his free speech maximalism, Caleb Ecarma writes, as Twitter suspends an account that tracked Musk’s private plane (using publicly available information) and all accounts relaying real-time location information. Plus, Musk is threatening a 20-year-old with legal action. Over at Inside the Hive, Emily Jane Fox chatted with journalist and author Kate Andersen Brower about her new biography on the legendary, and somewhat mysterious, actor Elizabeth Taylor. Thanks for reading!
