    SpaceX’s Starship explodes in second failure for Musk’s Mars program

    Back-to-back mishaps indicate big setbacks for program to launch satellites and send humans to the moon and Mars

    The failure comes just more than a month after the company’s seventh Starship flight also ended in an explosive failure. The back-to-back mishaps occurred in early mission phases that SpaceX has easily surpassed previously, indicating serious setbacks for a program Musk has sought to speed up this year.

    They’re well known for their commitment to environmentally responsible demolition and construction — a key factor in their success. When older buildings are torn down to make way for new development, it's crucial to ensure that harmful substances like asbestos or other environmental toxins aren’t left behind in the soil.
     
    Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, deployed on the tech mogul’s social media platform X, blamed a “programming error” for its “scepticism about Holocaust figures”.

    Replying to a query on Thursday about the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during the Second World War, the chatbot arrived at a number of “around 6 million Jews from 1941 to 1945” citing “historical records”.

    However, Grok said it was “sceptical of these figures”, adding that “numbers can be manipulated for political narratives”, Rolling Stone first reported.

    It clarified, however, that “the scale of the tragedy is undeniable, with countless lives lost to genocide, which I unequivocally condemn”.…..

    This is after a previous “programming error” caused Grok to talk about “white genocide” no matter what topic was broached. 🤦‍♀️
     
    Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday that he plans to do “a lot less” political spending going forward, after he spent massively to elect Donald Trump in the last presidential election and emerged as one of the top donors to either party.

    “I think I’ve done enough,” Musk, the richest man in the world, said during an interview at the Qatar Economic Forum.

    Asked if he planned to spend less because of blowback that has rippled into his business empire, Musk replied: “Well, if I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I don’t currently see a reason.”

    Musk spent at least $288 million to elect Trump and other GOP candidates in the November election. Trump then tapped him to lead the U.S. DOGE Service, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency and has led to immense scrutiny of Musk and his companies over its efforts to downsize the federal government.

    Musk sought to replicate his political efforts in an April special election for a pivotal seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, helping make it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. But the Republican-aligned candidate lost, and Musk has since stepped back from the political spotlight.

    Musk’s comments Tuesday are likely to disappoint GOP strategists who have been hoping he will continue to spend big in the midterms, when Republicans have to defend their narrow House majority. Trump allies have also invoked the specter of his political spending as they have sought to keep their party in line during Trump’s second term.

    This is what Musk has encouraged and enabled on Twitter.

    “Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely."

    NYT publishes about Musk’s drug abuse now.





    IMO this is simply more evidence that at some level NYT is carrying water for Trump. Always has been. I know they publish critical pieces, but there is a symbiotic relationship there somewhere. Trump has always fed them stories.

    …….Senator Warren has greeted his departure from the political scene with the publication of a new report alleging large-scale profiteering during his time in Washington, entitled: Special Interests Over the Public Interest: Elon Musk’s 130 Days in the Trump Administration.

    “Before Trump took office, Musk’s companies faced at least $2.37bn in potential liability from pending agency enforcement actions,” her report states. “Now many of those enforcement actions have stalled or been dismissed.”

    She continues: “Musk’s companies have received or are being considered for large contracts with the federal government, with foreign governments, and with other private sector companies.

    “Musk and individuals acting on his behalf have been involved in dozens of questionable actions that raise questions about corruption, ethics, and conflicts of interest.”……….

    She is undoubtedly correct. Here’s a quick synopsis of just a couple of things found by ProPublica, one is a criminal violation of ethics statutes, one is a violation of government ethics regulations.

    and Trump will do nothing and GOP led Congress will do nothing

    When Dems are in control again and start investigations and committees cries of "weaponizing the government!" will echo like crazy
