Elon Musk

Elon Musk's father has told Sky News that protesters targeting his son's cost-cutting work for the US government are "bums". Errol Musk was responding, in an interview with Business Live, to a growing backlash among US taxpayers and Tesla customers against his son's role in the Trump administration-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The electric car firm has increasingly become the subject of sales boycotts and protests - neither of which have been consigned to the US though dealerships there have seen vehicles vandalised and even set alight.

Donald Trump’s plan for American carmaking is full of potholes

Mar 31st 2025 D onald Trump has promised to impose sweeping tariffs on imported goods on April 2nd, dubbing it “Liberation Day”. The car industry got a preview of what is in store a week earlier, when on March 26th America’s president said he would charge hefty levies on imported cars and parts. The aim is to restore carmaking to America. But it will come at a high cost. Raised prices will hit sales and reduce choice for American consumers. Carmakers, meanwhile, will be “liberated” from large chunks of their profits. Explore more Donald Trump Business United States Reuse this content https://worldnewsguru.us/?p=26273&network_id=

'Full House' star Dave Coulier was hospitalized with virus that could have killed him amid cancer battle

Shortly after completing his final round of chemotherapy, Dave Coulier - who was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October - was hospitalized with a virus that doctors feared could have taken his life if not caught in time.  "I started to get pretty sick," the "Full House" alum, 65, told Parade in a new interview. "I didn't know that I had caught a virus. I was in bed for about 10 days just trying to figure out, ‘Do I have a cold? Am I just feeling the ramifications of this cumulative effect of the chemo? What is going on?’" "There's a thing called [ground-glass opacity (GGO)]. On a scan, in your lungs it looks like particles of glass," Coulier, who starred as Joey Gladstone in the beloved TV series in the 1980s and 1990s, explained.  DAVE COULIER'S CANCER BATTLE IS GETTING 'MORE DIFFICULT,' BUT THIS MORNING RITUAL HELPS HIM PULL THROUGH Dave Coulier, who was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma i...

Jakob Ingebrigtsen: Norwegian athletics coach Gjert tells court he is 'overly protective father', denies abuse

Norwegian athletics coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen told a court on Monday he "loves" his children and was just an "overly protective" father as he denied abuse allegations. Ingebrigtsen, 59, is on trial in Norway accused of physically and mentally abusing his 24-year-old son Jakob and another of his children. Double Olympic champion Jakob said when giving evidence last week that his father "manipulated" and "controlled" him throughout his upbringing and detailed a series of alleged incidents. Gjert addressed the court at the criminal case in Sandnes in his own defence. He said he had tried to shield all seven of his children, two more of whom also became successful athletes. "I became a father very early, with an enormous need to protect. I became what one might call overly protective," Gjert was quoted as saying in court by Norwegian state broadcaster NRK. "Highlighting relevant incidents in relation to the charges may make it ...

New phishing attack uses real-time interception to bypass 2FA

Phishing attacks are everywhere, and most of us can spot the obvious ones. Even if someone falls for one and hands over their password, two-factor authentication (2FA) usually adds a crucial layer of protection. But a new phishing kit making the rounds can bypass 2FA entirely by using session hijacking and real-time credential interception. Known as Astaroth, this tool intercepts and manipulates traffic between your device and legitimate authentication services like Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft. Since it grabs everything in real time, it completely bypasses 2FA and gives attackers full access to your account. Stay protected & informed!

West Indies cricket: Kraigg Brathwaite steps down as Test captain

Kraigg Brathwaite has stepped down as Test captain of the West Indies after three years in the role. The 32-year-old will hand over the captaincy to an as yet unnamed replacement for Australia's three-match Test tour of the Caribbean in June and July. Brathwaite took over the side in March 2021 , leading them to a home series victory against England in 2022 and winning a Test in Australia for the first time in 27 years in 2024. His team finished eighth in the most recent World Test Championship standings, and the opening batter now steps aside at the beginning of a new cycle. The West Indies will also have a new captain in T20s, with Shai Hope replacing Rovman Powell. Hope, 31, who already led the West Indies in one-day internationals, will take charge for the first time in six T20s away in England and Ireland in June. Powell had led the T20 side since 2023, winning home series against India, England and South Africa. https://worldnewsguru.us/?p=26263&network_id=
