Thomson Reuters also owns Westlaw which the DOD General Counsel almost certainly uses for legal research. I was a Westlaw admin and all the invoices came with Thomson Reuters letterhead and remit to.

To misrepresent things that well requires that you actually do know what you are doing.
Musk knows business names can look similar but are unique. So just because Reuters is in there this doesn’t make it the same as Thomson Reuters. And he would know that. He is intentionally going through the lists and picking out things that can be used to further his agenda. And if a name is similar it will be close enough for his purposes since he is lying to begin with.
Trump knows all this as well. He has a history of doing this kind of thing.
This is malevolent.

I like to say that “a con artist only needs to be smarter than the people they are grifting”. The MAGA base has proven that they make up a large percentage of the 51% of Americans that read at or below the 6th grade level and the low level of knowledge that comes from such a limited book selection. Who am I kidding? Other people read to them, like they are small children.

This is the misconception. They know what they are doing. They want you to think that they don’t know what they are doing. That is all part of the plan. This is why people say Trump is an idiot. He is not an idiot. He and Musk know exactly what they are doing and how. They do and say these things on purpose and because most of the country don’t understand they eat it up.

The more they bitch that the president shouldn’t have any oversight the more they announce that they don’t understand how the US federal government works.
“Boo hoo the government is built to stop someone from doing exactly what we’re trying to do.”
And the cult cheers because they have less understanding how the federal government works than literally 9 year olds.

As a Canadian I was so upset when I learned at the beginning of It’s first term that no Secret Service, no FBI, no NSA screening is done on presidential candidates to possibly disqualify crayon eaters like this chaos goblin. A little work in advance could have eliminated this whole timeline since ALL THIS WAS SO DAMN FORESEABLE based on It’s personality and history.
