    If you don’t wanna click the x link, here’s what it says in full:

    This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

    It seems that @elonmusk

    made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

    In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new

    beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.









  • “1oz .999% silver medallions”

    So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
    And he’s selling them for $100 each.

    Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
    In that case it’s $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I’m still guessing it’s 3 cents worth of silver.
