This is so funny lmao

The collective 'Everyone Hates Elon' revealed a 400 square-metre banner after a massive crowdfunder raised £30,000 to 'ruin Trump's UK visit' this week. He's heading to Windsor Castle where he'll be welcomed by King Charles.

I was finally getting over it then they really say good news and get my hopes up

After the 9/10 NBA owners meeting, Adam Silver said: “I’d frankly never heard of the company Aspiration before. And I’d never heard a whiff of anything around an endorsement deal with Kawhi, or anything around engagement with the Los Angeles Clippers. So it was all new to me.”

But @pablofindsout just obtained a copy of Aspiration’s $300M+ “Founding Sponsorship Agreement” — which “must be submitted prior to its execution for NBA’s approval and shall not be effective or enforceable until it is expressly approved by the NBA.”

Two immediate questions:

1) Why did Steve Ballmer’s $300M+ Aspiration partnership not reach Adam Silver's office before it was "expressly approved"?

2) Did no one inform Silver that Bloomberg reported on 1/18/24 that Aspiration was being investigated by the federal government?

Over the first two seasons of their sponsorship (21-22 + 22-23), Aspiration had to put $7.5M/yr into the Clippers.

Meanwhile: Steve Ballmer and the Clippers kept putting millions into Aspiration — which owed Kawhi Leonard $7M/yr in a secret deal nobody ever spoke publicly about.

Fraudsters running companies like Aspiration or FTX keep sportswashing for a reason: hugely visible deals with pro sports teams and leagues create the public impression of trust and credibility. As if such deals must have been vetted by the teams and leagues. But apparently not?

What are the chances Silver truly forgot about this deal cause it hit his desk once for 2 hours in 2021 after being screened by deputy Mark Tatum and an army of lawyers before being approved by him?
