From #robertaKaplan in @newyorktimes writing about the direct line between Charlottesville 2017 and Musk and Vance 2025.
[I]n response to criticism he faced for making what appeared to be a Nazi salute at a Trump event, Elon Musk tweeted: “Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Göring your enemies! His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler! Bet you did nazi that coming.” He ended his post, of course, with a laughing emoji.
"Perhaps no attorney bedeviled President Donald Trump in his many legal cases more than Kaplan, who was previously best known for winning the Supreme Court case forcing the federal government to recognize same-sex marriage.
Kaplan represents E. Jean Carroll, who won multimillion-dollar civil judgments from a pair of juries after they found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. Trump continues to assert his innocence and contest the awards.
Kaplan is also counsel for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority in its bid to save congestion pricing from Trump’s attempt to kill it. The MTA hired Kaplan long before Trump was reelected and she helped the transit agency beat back a series of legal challenges to the tolls even before they took effect in January."

Another business that won’t get their money from Trump!!
“After Donald Trump posted a bond of nearly $92 million as he appeals the jury's verdict in E. Jean Carroll's civil defamation case, Carroll's lawyer on Monday forced the former president to reduce the amount of time between the resolution of his appeal and Carroll's payment.”
“The change reduces the amount of time between the resolution of Trump's appeal and Carroll's payment from an overall 60 days to 30 days.”
