Some ai tdlr The document appears to be a comprehensive research dossier on J.D. Vance, dated February 23, 2024, and labeled as "Privileged & Confidential." It includes detailed background on Vance’s political career, financial records, personal history, and potential vulnerabilities. Below is a summary of key sections:
Executive Synopsis and Vulnerabilities:
Top Hits:
Campaign Finance:
Policy and Controversial Views:
Personal Information:
This summary highlights Vance’s evolving political positions, campaign finance details, and areas of potential vulnerability that could be used by opponents in future political contests.
So, uh.... Why does Elon even care about this?
Is this from that Iranian hack of the Trump organization or something?
(EDIT: Literal first paragraph of the article. Yes.)
According to the article, the reason X has taken action is because the dossier contains Vance’s home addresses.
Nice.
What a strange read. I can’t believe they went with this weirdo.
This is pretty much a summary of a lot of already public data. Could be valuable as an appendix of ways to attack Vance but otherwise not much new here.
My takeaway is the Trump campaign was too sycophantic to Trump to notice Vance's actual problems. They have records of his weird views on domestic violence and other strange views but they're buried in mountains of data about everything he's said about Trump. And his obsession with childless women isn't in the document anywhere as far as I can tell.
I didn't even take that away from it because, like you said, it was all public information already. The second I heard they picked the guy who called Trump "America's Hitler" was when I knew that they once again didn't bother doing their due diligence.
