As flames engulf swaths of Los Angeles, Elon Musk is wielding X to stoke partisan outrage and conspiracy theories about the disaster.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed Facebook and Instagram into a new era when he announced that they would follow in the footsteps of Elon Musk's X, doing away with fact-checkers and other content moderation in favor of community notes and freer speech.

The U.K. Homeland Security Group focuses on the highest harm risks to national security, and now Elon Musk is apparently in the crosshairs.

DOGE representatives are reportedly holding meetings with federal staffers in an effort to cut government spending waste.

Damian Boeselager, a German member of the European Parliament, and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot both called on the European Commission (EC) to investigate and crack down on Musk’s alleged “interference” in European elections.
