When we asked for the emails, the governor’s office said some of the correspondence with the billionaire and his companies contains “intimate” information that isn’t of “legitimate concern to the public.”

    The government doesn’t get to decide what is “of legitimate concern to the public”, we the people do! That’s why public record request laws and FOIA exist.

    This guy needs to be selling corn dogs at a state fair and nowhere near the government.

      I’m like, “was that supposed to make us want to see them less?!”

      Vote now:

      A) Greg is carrying Elons 45th baby? B) They just wanted to exchange gamer handles to play Fortnight? C) Greg wanted to know where Elon gets all his drugs?

    What would happen if people started reporting on the worst that we think could be in the emails? Abbott could sue for defamation but the proof that what was being said was false would be contained in the emails that would need to be presented.

    Clearly the embarrassing information is that Abbott’s wife cucked him with Musk and that is why Abbott is why they are getting divorced.

      I heard Abbott likes to get pegged by dogs, and he was discussing using ketamine during the act with Musk.

      Yeah, Abbott is in a wheelchair because he’s paralyzed. You know what kind of questions dumbass Elon asked him. Abbott’s responses were probably just as bad.

        Somehow, I don’t want to know.

        These questions are why we invented investigative journalists.

          Feel like investigative journalists should be asking more important questions than ‘does your dick work?’.

            No no.

            they’re for going through the “does your dick work” questions in the emails so we don’t have to.

            Their sacrifice is appreciated.
