Elon Musk for supporting the Republican Party at a wedding last year, according to a new biography.As described in author Walter Isaacson’s authorised biography, Elon Musk, the altercation is said to have occurred at Endeavour CEO Ari Emanuel’s wedding in Saint-Tropez, France in May 2022, a few days after the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.According to the book (via New York Post), the Curb Your Enthusiasm creator “seemed to be fuming” when he sat down with Musk at the wedding reception.“Do you just want to murder kids in schools?” David asked Musk, seemingly in reference to the shooting which killed 19 children and two teachers. The “baffled” and “annoyed” Tesla CEO is said to have replied: “I’m anti-kid murder.” In reponse, David said: “Then how could you vote Republican?”David later confirmed the encounter to Isaacson, telling the author: “His tweets about voting Republican because Democrats were the party of division and hate were sticking in my craw.

Elon Musk has said that X, formerly known as Twitter, will likely start charging its users.The X owner, who is also the founder/CEO of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, said in a new meeting that the social media platform is considering enacting a paywall.Although unconfirmed, Musk told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a meeting this week that a subscription would probably cost “a few dollars” a month for users [via The Guardian].Currently, X charges users for its subscription service X Premium that offers advantages such as a verified account checkmark. It costs $11 (£8.87) per month in the US for iPhones and £11 per month in the UK.Musk explained that a paywall would help the business keep bots at bay and generate money lost by “60 per cent” drop in advertising revenue on the platform.“We’re moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the system,” Musk told Netanyahu, whom he’d met to discuss technology and artificial intelligence.Musk added that bots cost “a fraction of a penny” to set up and then charging users “a few dollars or something” could deter operators of the software.

Elon Musk said that X, formerly known as Twitter, is moving to a “small monthly payment system” because “it’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”

Emanuel, in a three-paragraph text sent on the Signal encrypted messaging app, proposed that he and Endeavor would run Twitter (which is now called X) on Musk’s behalf, per Isaacson’s book.

Elon Musk and Amber Heard are still friends. The former couple, who dated on and off for a year in 2016, was one of the most confusing celebrity couples, leaving many puzzled about the things that they had in common. In a new string of posts shared on X, previously called Twitter, Musk revealed that the two had a lot in common, and that Heard dressed up as one of his favorite video game characters.
