Currently watching the internet melt down over Elon boldly lying about being good at video games. Pretty damning evidence here on one of his live streams that he's been having someone play Diablo 3 for him so he can pretend to be one of the best in the world.

I find it really hilarious that out of the all of the questionable things he's said over the years, acting like he knows everything about politics, science, and software - it takes him lying about a video game to be exposed.

Could a guy who's unafraid to lie about something as stupid as this also be lying about his other accomplishments?

The People's Reset: Mexico is 2 Weeks Away!

If you want to do something proactive this year, I encourage you to attend (or watch online for free) The People's Reset Activation, a 5-day solutions focused gathering intended to offer an alternative to the WEF/UN/Club of Rome etc vision of 2030 and beyond.

If you want to collaborate with others who are focused on promoting individual liberty, bodily autonomy, decentralization, localization, and parallel systems, this is the movement you have been looking for.

There's still time to get in person tickets if you can make it. If not, I highly encourage you to watch the entire event with friends or family to see which solutions can apply to your life now.

Don't forget - you are in control. Not the Davos crowd, not the Bilderbergers, and not fake politicians. Your future is your responsibility. Claim it.

Join us at The People's Reset: Mexico in Morelia from January 29th to February 2nd. ThePeoplesReset.org
