Elon Musk Leaving Cali
Mr. X says he’s done with California, and the reason he’s leaving is a new Cali law that protects the privacy of kids who identify themselves as transgender in schools. “This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X, adding, “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.” Musk added in a follow up post, “And 𝕏 HQ will move to Austin” from its longtime hometown of San Francisco.

Tim Robbins Slams Comparing Trump Assassination Attempt To Bob Roberts
Some who believe in conspiracies think that the attempt to assassinate Trump was not unlike the plot of the movie Bob Roberts, and Tim Robbins is pretty upset about that. “To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity.”
Tim, how many people even saw Bob Roberts?
