Elon Musk: Celebs Rumors

the Minister of Culture has reportedly reached out to Twitter and Tesla head Elon Musk and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to coordinate a fight at the historic Colosseum in Rome, Italy.The Post has reached out to the Italian Minister of Culture for confirmation.In response, Musk, 52, entertained the idea by tweeting, “Some chance fight happens in Colosseum.” Both tech moguls have been training with Lex Fridman, an Artificial Intelligence researcher who hosts the Lex Fridman Podcast, a podcast and YouTube series. He also practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu and holds a first-degree black belt.After Musk tweeted earlier this month that he would be “up for a cage fight” with Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO shot back by posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me location.”Zuckerberg’s team reportedly passed on the message to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, whose people contacted the Italian Minister.Italian government officials reportedly offered up the 2,000-year-old venue as a battleground for the historic cage fight.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, is being criticized after declaring that the words “cisgender”and its abbreviated form, “cis,” are slurs that will be barred from the social media platform.The term, which refers to individuals whose gender identity matches their assigned sex at birth, has been viewed controversially by many of those to whom it refers. They argue that their identities should not be defined relative to transgender individuals.Musk made the declaration on June 20 in response to a tweet from James Esses, an Irish right-wing media figure, who claimed that transgender activists berated him with the word, which he both ideologically rejects and believes is a slur.Esses’s claim to fame is that he was expelled from a therapist training course after sending a public petition to his school, requesting they change how they view gender dysphoria to “safeguard therapy and counseling” for children.Esses now uses his social media channels to speak out against the idea of gender dysphoria and deny the concept of transgender identity, and advocates for bans on puberty and hormone blockers for children. “Yesterday, after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word ‘cis’ and don’t wish to be called it, I received a slew of messages from trans activists calling me ‘cissy’ and telling me that I am ‘cis’ ‘whether or not I like it,'” Esses complained in a Twitter post.

Elon Musk somehow found himself a part of the story after it was reported that Starlink was used to communicate with the submersible.

No longer can it hide behind the DMCA and refuse to pay songwriters and music publishers.”Twitter has not yet issued a response regarding the allegations.The inability of the social media giant and music publishers to reach a licensing agreement stems back numerous years and, at time of writing, Twitter is the only major social media company to be working without one.As per the suit, the plaintiffs stated that they hoped new ownership of the company would help them resolve the ongoing issue.

In May 2022, Business Insider published a story saying Musk was “accused of exposing himself during a massage and offering to buy a horse for a SpaceX flight attendant if she were willing to perform a sex act on him.” In response, Musk called the allegations “utterly untrue” and called a person who talked to Insider a “liar.”

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International The debate around the application of artificial intelligence in the creative sector has been a hot-button issue in the writers strike, but not all scribes believe it warrants the airtime it’s so far received. Speaking on a Variety-moderated writers strike panel at the Banff World Media Festival on Monday, “The Other Black Girl” and “Swarm” writer Kara Brown said AI has been “the stickiest thing and people have been talking about it a lot, when it feels to me like this is not our biggest issue — I would like residuals.” Continued Brown: “There are other things that are more fundamental today in impacting a writer’s ability to do their job. And AI feels like something that people outside the industry can understand, and people are talking about. It sounds scary, but to me at least, I don’t think it’s close to our biggest issue.”

Attempts to contact Irwin were unsuccessful. As Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Irwin oversaw enforcement of its content moderation policies.

devolved into an utter fiasco almost immediately.Hayes compared it to a similar public failure Musk experienced in 2019, and declared that the DeSantis event was really just “the world’s most embarrassing 404 error.” You can see for yourself in the clip above right now.“Do you remember that time billionaire Elon Musk unveiled the new Tesla Cybertruck, and when he went to demonstrate the vehicle’s supposedly ‘bulletproof glass,’ they smashed two of its windows even though they weren’t supposed to break?
