How did this malware compromise the iPhone in the first place. Did Apple insert a backdoor for the spooks that was discovered by a third party. It wouldn't be the first time as Google is reported to have inserted a government backdoor that was subsequently used by the Chinese.

The full title is ‘“HE’S FULL OF SHIT”: HOW ELON MUSK FOOLED INVESTORS, BILKED TAXPAYERS, AND GAMBLED TESLA TO SAVE SOLARCITY’. Makes me wonder are we in the middle of yet another Tesla shorting cycle. Buy some shorts, trash Tesla in the media, wait for stock to drop, then cashout.

Stranger then Fiction, you couldn't make it up, no one would believe it:

“This tendency towards pseudoreligiosity surfaces most clearly in Campbell’s relation with that mountebank and founder of exploitative cults, Hubbard”

L. Ron Hubbard had a talent for grifting people. Later on he joined Jack Parsons magical order 'Ordo Templi Orientis'. At Parsons Pasadena mansion, Hubbard and Parsons engaged in the occult task of raising a moonchild, before Hubbard ran off with Parsons money, girlfriend and yacht. There's a fictionalized version on 'CBS All Access' called "Strange Angel". Hubbard turns up at the end of season 2.

@NeedMoreTea: “What if your friend sees no value in their body after they're done with it” ..

Yea, why not just dip the corpse in silicone epoxy, mount it on a plinth and put it on display. Oh wait, someone else has already thought of that.
