EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

The Paramount/Warner Brothers merger seems facially illegal, and the state AG lawsuit challenging it is very strong.
It’s troubling to hear that the states may now settle for behavioral remedies, allowing the deal to go through subject to various promises from the firms. Behavioral remedies routinely fail, and the stakes here are particularly high given that a strong democracy requires open markets for sound journalism and creative expression.
The states were right to step up, and I hope they keep fighting to protect this market, its workers, and the millions of Americans who value a free press and a vibrant film industry.

"The sensation that I have felt personally and have felt in our audience," @PabloTorre tells @danshanoff, "is that people have been almost delighted that maybe we can hold the richest people in the world to something resembling a standard of accountability." tinyurl.com/yc3fa9ja

“Give us another chance” is the most mind boggling mid term pitch I’ve ever heard in my life.

Somewhere out there is a guy who bought a brand new GMC Sierra 1500 with a 96 month loan at 25% interest who just filled up at $6 dollar/gallon diesel carrying a massive credit card balance who is going to go home tonight and lose 100+ dollars on a Single Game Parlay
ACTUALLY COOL NEWS. Was so confident he'd get away with it, what a pleasant surprise.
SHOUTOUT @PabloTorre for keeping the pressure on.
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

Polymarket deleted their tweet because they wanted to stop the backlash they were getting for it.
I won’t let them.
Prediction markets, and polymarket specifically are disgusting sites who only exist because enough people lose money on them that it keeps them running.
The normalization of this website, especially within the League of Legends community, is one of the most alarming things that has happened in recent years.
League creators are getting paid hundreds, if not thousands per quote tweet, as well as 5 figure monthly salaries to promote them on stream and it’s at a point now where this is just accepted.
It shouldn’t be.
Prediction markets, gambling websites, and sports betting sites are willing to shill tens of thousands of dollars to content creators because they know the viewers of said creator will lose infinitely more than they pay for the sponsor.
How can this be okay?
Money, especially in this economy, is hard to come by. But throwing your viewers and the people who support you under the bus because you want to make a few thousand extra every month should inspire criticism, not acceptance.
Fuck Polymarket, and fuck the people who run the account for trying to use mine and my wife’s pregnancy announcement for their own benefit and everyone else’s demise.
