The ICX machine itself was manufactured in Taiwan and shipped to the U.S. via airfreight using China Airlines. These foreign IP addresses that communicated with U.S. active election equipment during the 2020, with these machines having parts directly from China and being shipped from China itself tells you everything you need to know, and completely shatters the mainstream narrative that these machines are safe, or have never communicated outside the U.S. during a live election. These machines and software is all compromised and need to be removed. — https://x.com/TheSCIF/status/2109778149156274601", "sources": [ { "title": "@elonmusk: For the first time, there will soon be a generalized, pure AI solution to full s", "url": "https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911777434976002384" }, { "title": "@elonmusk: If you’re in Korea and want to work on chip design, fabrication or AI software, ", "url": "https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2023516129457758483" }, { "title": "@johnternus: Welcome HomeView https://t.co/mXYPyXOZ1U", "url": "https://x.com/johnternus/status/2109995948407476369" }, { "title": "@opencode: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is now free in OpenCode", "url": "https://x.com/opencode/status/2110635747648909472" }, { "title": "@elonmusk: Early days of OpenAI", "url": "https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2110619230161035670" }, { "title": "@nytimes: Breaking News: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is making a $30 million inv", "url": "https://x.com/nytimes/status/2110467913383591957" }, { "title": "@robotaxi: Robotaxi service updates from the last few weeks: – Operating hours are now 6am-", "url": "https://x.com/robotaxi/status/2109742678435119540" }, { "title": "@dhh: Omarchy is now officially on X!
