"to improve how Americans experience their government-online, in person, and the spaces in between."

I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy,

Nazi-sympathizer and billionaire Elon Musk said he wants full custody of the son he had with conservative author Ashley St. Clair, claiming that "her statements [imply] she might transition a one-year-old boy." Musk's comment came after St. Clair publicly criticized Musk for helping generate pornographic images of kids and apologizing for her past transphobia. Musk already has an estranged trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has disavowed his transphobia.

The conservative writer and political strategist Ashley St Clair had just put her young son to bed when she received a text from a friend with a link to a page on X. When she opened it, she says she saw a photo of Grok undressing me and putting me in a bikini'. St Clair was not alone. In recent weeks, countless women have found their images digitally manipulated online by Grok, at the request of X users, to disrobe them.

The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) report, citing data from Forbes, has found that U.S. billionaires' assets surged by a whopping 21 percent in 2025. The 935 billionaires in the U.S. now control $8.1 trillion in wealth, the analysis found - nearly double the amount of wealth held by the bottom 50 percent of Americans, which comprises over 170 million people. Roughly a dozen of these billionaires work in the Trump administration.

Elon Musk's chatbot has spent the last week flooding X with nonconsensual, sexualized deepfakes of adults and minors. Circulating screenshots show Grok complying with requests to put real women in lingerie and make them spread their legs, and to put small children in bikinis. At one point, Grok was generating about one nonconsensual sexualized image per minute, according to one estimate.

At the time, I wrote that his reply to an X user, "Ok, let's do it," with a tag to X Head of Product Nikita Bier and a warning to "rigorously enforce no gaming of the system," felt like a line in the sand for how serious X was about paying people who keep its feeds alive. Now, early 2026 payout reports suggest that X is starting to follow through.

As it turns out, one of the billionaire's key legal strategists isn't just an attorney but a professionally trained - and currently practicing - clown. We wish we were kidding. But new reporting by Business Insider tells the tale of Jaymie Parkkinen, an intellectual property lawyer representing Musk by day while working as an actual clown by night.

Twitter, also called X, the social media network owned and constantly used by the world's richest man as well as virtually every powerful person in the American tech industry, and on which the vast preponderance of national political figures also maintain active accounts, has a sexual harassment and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) problem. This has been true more or less since Elon Musk took it over, but this problem's latest and most repellent efflorescence is the result of one of Musk's signature additions as owner.

America is toast if the radical left wins. They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won't be America anymore. https://t.co/9lppGuSyAV Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 1, 2026

The Global Government Affairs department at X has posted that the company is offering legal support in the case of a far-right Republican activist in Texas who posted just such a photo on X in 2023. Michelle Evans, who is now head of the Williamson County Republican Party, is being investigation and facing criminal charges for posting the photo. She in turn has sued the Travis County district attorney for violating her free speech rights.

Elon Musk wants to bring more joy to the world. Writing on X on Christmas Eve, Musk said he was switching up Tesla's "mission wording" from "Sustainable Abundance" to "Amazing Abundance." "The latter is more joyful," he wrote. Musk appeared to be referring to Tesla's latest " master plan," its long-term strategy document. The fourth edition, released this September, contains several mentions of "sustainable abundance" - an idea that Tesla's products and services will "accelerate global prosperity" and create "a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable world."

At an inauguration-related event for President Donald Trump, Elon Musk throws a straight-armed gesture largely interpreted as a Nazi salute. In follow-up comments, Musk failed to put the controversy to rest by deriding critics and neglecting to issue an apology, leaving his intent ambiguous. Silicon Valley ❤️ MAGA Facebook decides to dispense with third-party fact checkers. Instead, it will rely completely on "Community Notes" to identify and contextualize misinformation.

The, the degree to which Starshipis a revolutionary technology is not well understood in the world. "It's the first time that there's been any rocket design, where full rapid reusability is possible - well, full reusability at all is possible, or full reusability at all is possible," Musk's word salad continued. "This is the first design where a reusable rocket is one of the possible - with success - is one of the possible outcomes."

Elon Musk, a billionaire who decimated the United States federal workforce using the Department of Government Efficiency, is not remembered fondly by the most powerful woman in Washington: Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff and the gatekeeper to President Donald Trump. In several on-the-record interviews with Vanity Fair's Chris Whipple conducted over the past year, Wiles, who had corralled the notoriously backstabby Trump political operation into coherence and discipline, described Musk as a "complete solo actor"

On February 24th, advocacy group Frequency Forward and journalist Nina Burleigh filed a public records request to the FCC, seeking details about DOGE's activities and whether they created conflicts of interest with DOGE creator Elon Musk. But the FCC has so far produced largely useless documentation that creates more questions than answers. Now, DOGE's role is among the many topics FCC Chair Brendan Carr could face during a highly anticipated oversight hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday.

The 54-year-old witnessed an unprecedented wealth surge after SpaceX, an aerospace company he founded and leads, hit a $800 billion market cap in an insider share sale. SpaceX subsequently became the most valuable private company in the world-and by holding a 42% stake in the business worth $317 billion, Musk's fortune soared.
