People insist Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son called out President Trump

President Donald Trump and SpaceX owner Elon Musk held a high-profile press conference in the Oval Office, but it was Musk’s 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii – who goes by X – who stole the show.

Before the press conference, Trump introduced those present at the White House to the toddler, saying, “This is X, and he’s a great guy. High IQ. High-IQ individual.” 

X, however, being just a kid, didn’t understand the importance of the event he attended together with his dad and got engaged in some kid “activities” such as digging through his nose.

What caught the attention of many, and was re-shared in a clip that has since gone viral, is that the boy allegedly tells Trump, “You’re not the President and you need to go away,” according to the writing of @RightWingCope.

Other clips of Musk’s 4-year-old son show the boy reportedly saying to Trump, “I want you to shut your mouth.”

However, while many claim these are the words the boy utters, the truth is that his comment is nearly indecipherable, as he speaks quietly while his father is talking at the same time.

But no matter what he said, it was likely something the president didn’t like as he was seen turning his head away from the boy.

As expected, the moment triggered plenty of comments, debates, and meme-ing.

One person wrote, “OK I’m all about ‘calling out corruption’ but Elon Musk’s Son wiping his BOOGERS on the oval office desk, Trump giving him the side eye, and the little boy tells Trump to ‘shut up’ it’s just too much for me what the hell is happening!”

Another added: “This may be the greatest video of all time to me!!! X gives Trump the business then wipes a booger on the desk.”

Other users tried to put the rumors over the comments little X made by stating that he wasn’t even talking to the president.

“He wasn’t even looking at Trump, he was looking at the reporters. Not once did the kid look at Trump and tell him that,” someone commented.

“Hilarious, but he’s clearly not talking to Trump. Karoline Leavitt was sitting in that eyeline,” another pointed out.

Not only that, but X was also mimicking his father at one point. Musk then lifted him up on his shoulders and apologized. “Sorry for this,” the tech billionaire said with a laugh. “Otherwise, I might enjoy this, but as he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff.”

During the press conference, Musk detailed a new executive order aimed at cutting the federal workforce.

King Charles’ cancer giving Palace a headache, expert claims

King Charles has been through a lot in recent years. From Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and the ongoing feud with them, to Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis and his own cancer battle, the King has faced an array of challenges.

While his battle with cancer is ongoing, his return to royal duties and even plans for overseas visits speak volumes about his improved health.

Although the Palace hasn’t revealed the exact type of cancer the king was diagnosed with, Laura Lee, chief executive of the cancer support charity Maggie’s–which Queen Camilla is president of, said many cancer treatments take a lot of time.

“It’s very common for treatment to be ongoing for very long periods of time, as is the treatment that the Princess of Wales went through, which is an intense period of treatment over a year, and then it comes to a point where it’s on an end, and she’s on that recovery from some of the impacts of her treatment,” Lee told Sky News.

“So we’ve got immunotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy. There are all sorts of different treatment modalities. And so it’s not surprising at all.”

She continued: “What we’ve heard from our centre visitors, it’s been good that they haven’t just shone a light on one specific cancer type, but they’ve shone a light on cancer as a whole, and that there’s varying treatment and varying impacts and varying different ways of navigating the challenges that cancer bring. And I think that approach has been much more effective and positive for the cancer community. I know firsthand that everyone is so grateful to them for doing that.”

According to the Palace, the King and Queen are planning a royal visit to Italy in April where they will meet Pope Francis. Further, the visit will be  “celebrating the strong bilateral relationship between Italy and the United Kingdom,” as per the Palace.

In the past, King Charles had visited Italy 17 times, but this would be his first as the head of the monarchy.

However, no matter how much the public is looking forward to seeing the King taking more royal duties, royal expert Daniela Elser believes that his cancer diagnosis is still giving the Palace a headache.

Elser made a comparison between two photos of the King taken at a time difference of four years. One taken recently, and the other one in 2020, in Jerusalem, Israel. She wrote the photos showed the “unmistakable” difference in King Charles’ appearance, which is “painfully hard to ignore.”

“The King might have been all smiles at church in late January, but Buckingham Palace is today facing down a previously unheard of, never-considered royal scenario — how to keep Crown Inc going in the time of an aging, cancer-battling monarch who is increasingly rattling around the Palace, stranded and with fewer than ever people to call on.

“As [King Charles] ages and as he battles cancer, he has only very few working members of the royal family left he can rely on and delegate to in order to help him shoulder the load,” Elser added.

The good thing is that despite his cancer, King Charles is staying positive.

Soldier, 19, found dead after reporting ‘abusive’ boss

Soldier Jaysley Beck, a Royal Artillery Gunner based at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire, was found dead at her base camp in December 2021.

This week, an inquest showed the teenager was “scared” by the “psychotic and possessive” behavior by her boss, Bombardier Ryan Mason, prior to her decision to take her own life.

Mason sent Beck over 3,600 message in a period of a single month and his behavior was determined to be a “casual factor” in her passing.

In one of the message beck sent to Mason, the young soldier wrote that she felt “trapped” and that his obsessive behavior “was freaking her out.”

Further, the soldier’s mom, Leighann McCready, said her daughter felt unsafe as the situation involving her boss intensified.

PA

During the hearing, the court showed a number of WhatsApp message between Soldier Beck and her boss between October 2021 and December 2021.

A message from October 21, showed Mason writing: “Love you Jayse. As a friend.” One sent on October 27 read: “I’m renaming you in my phone as the magician.”

Then on November 11, he wrote: “You’re amazing Jayse, I appreciate you so much, I love everything about you, even your flaws.

“I will always be there along for the ride with you, I have said it before but you’re stuck with me forever now. I love you x As a friend, I love you.”

Family Photo

On November 25, Gunner Beck wrote back to her boss: “This whole falling in love with me, its becoming a bit too much, I have just come out of a relationship and I’m just not wanting to be involved in anything like this.

“It’s weighing me down a little bit, I’ll be totally honest with you.”

She added: “Totally honest here, I just don’t want to hear how you feel about me.”

According to her mom, Beck said she felt Mason had hacked her phone as he knew exactly where she was at every moment.

Days before her death, Beck called her mother and expressed her fears over Mason yet again. She said she was “creeped out” by him.

The inquest, that took place on February 11, 2025, revealed that the young soldier was allegedly assaulted by another colleague, Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber, after a work social gathering in July 2021.

PA

He only received a minor sanction, and Beck received an apology letter from him.

That incident discouraged her from reporting Mason.

Beck didn’t experience any mental problems in the past, but her boss’ obsessive behavior towards her took its toll. She became withdrawn and distressed which affected her mental well-being.

The inquest into this young soldier’s death is ongoing. The question raised is whether the military could have done more than they did to protect her and prevent a tragedy from taking place.

A post shared by Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave (@teddimellencamp)

She informed her followers that doctors would surgically remove two of the tumors that day, February 12. The rest of the tumors, the smaller ones, will “be dealt with via radiation at a later date.”

“I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health,” she wrote. “Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”

Before the procedure, Mellencamp, who was diagnosed with stage II melanoma back in 2022, documented her journey before the surgeries.

Sharing a photo of herself from the hospital bed, she wrote, “Counting down the minutes until my babies get here.”

She also added a saying by her dad, the famous rock star John Mellencamp, that read, “As my dad said this am, God only gives hard stuff to those of us who can handle it. It’s a hard day but I have faith and amazing surgeons and know everything will be ok.”

Mellencamp shares three children and a stepson with former husband Edwin Arroyave, whom she separated from in November.

Arroyave was by her side during her procedures and shared an update on the reality star’s condition, telling her followers that the surgeries went well.

“So many people asking for updates. All I will say right now is surgery went well. That said, I’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some much needed rest. I know she is grateful for the outpouring of love.”

This isn’t the first time Mellencamp to undergo surgeries. In fact, she revealed on the podcast Him & Her in February that she had over 20 surgeries due to her skin melanoma diagnosis.

We wish Teddi Mellencamp a speedy recovery.

Stranded astronauts to be paid a shocking amount after 8-day mission turns into months

When they began their mission to space in June 2024, astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore probably didn’t expect that the planned eight days at the International Space Station would turn into months.

The Boeing capsule they traveled to space with experienced technical issues, including helium leak. As a result, the two astronauts were forced to stay in space. The mission of their possible return home has been delayed several times so far. Now NASA expects them to get back home somewhere in March.

Williams and Wilmore will be transported via the Crew-10 mission.

President Donald Trump accused Biden’s administration for abandoning the two astronauts and called Elon Musk and SpaceX to “go get them.”

“Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe,” Trump said. “Good luck Elon!!!”

Musk took to to answer that he will do so.

However, while the media refers to the astronauts as stranded, astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell says that’s not the case. He highlights that “the party line at NASA is that the astronauts are not stranded,” insisting that “it’s way overblown.

“They’re fine,” McDowell explains. “They just got to do an extra spacewalk, which they love. They’ll come home on the next ride.”

Despite finding themselves in a situation that is out of their control, NASA claims Williams and Wilmore are in good spirits, assuring the public that their basic needs, like food and clothing, are well taken care of.

During a call, Williams said, “It’s just been a joy to be working up here.

“It doesn’t feel like we’re cast away. Eventually, we want to go home, because we left our families a little while ago, but we have a lot to do while we’re up here.”

Nasa

In fact, the astronauts are doing a series of experiments, spacewalks, and other routine operations while in space.

Expectedly, the question of how much they will be paid for their overly-prolonged stay was raised by the media and the public.

However, the answer isn’t something we’d expect.

Retired NASA astronaut Cady Coleman revealed for the Washingtonian that being federal employees, besides their salary, astronauts are paid the same as any employee at a business trip anywhere on Earth.

“There is some small amount of money per day for incidentals that they end up being legally obligated to pay you,” she said.

For her, it was around $4 (£3.19) per day. 

If this is the case, both Williams and Wilmore would only be paid an extra $1,004 (£801.27) for their time.

Man releases chilling never-before-seen footage of Twin Towers collapse

A never-before-seen-footage of the collapse of Twin Towers was shared by a witness 23 years after the horrific event.

The video, posted on YouTube by Kei Sugimoto, was taken from a previously “unseen angle.”

According to Kei, it was taken “from the roof of 64 St Marks Place in NYC on a Sony VX2000 with teleconverter” on September 11, 2001, with a Sony VX2000 camera.

He recalled the tragic day saying he first believed that a fire broke in the building. However, it wasn’t until the second attack took place that he realized what had really happened.

Kei discovered the footage after going through some old boxes.

He was concerned that some of the tapes were ruined, but he then tried to digitize the one of the Twin Towers collapsing and shared it online.

The footage of the Twin Towers collapsing is a painful reminder of the day that changed not only America but the entire world.

“This footage offers a unique perspective not seen from the south or east,” one person commented. It wasn’t long until many realized it was indeed a unique recording.

“It’s crazy that we’re almost 23 years out and still getting new footage,” a person on Reddit commented.

The release of the video, that has since gone viral, highlights the importance of preserving historical records. “Makes me wonder how much history is being stored in people’s attics or basements waiting to be unearthed,” someone commented. Honestly, we ask ourselves the same question.

This never-before-seen footage that offers a different perspective serves as a reminder for the future generations of the scale of the tragedy and the lasting impact it left.

The 9/11 attack, when 19 members of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group hijacked four planes and used them as weapons in a coordinated assault on the United States, with two of those planes striking the World Trade Center in New York City and causing the Twin Towers to collapse, resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths.

It was a sad, sad day for America and its citizens.

The US secrets Donald Trump wowed to declassify, including Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘client list’

Following his election win over opponent Kamala Harris, Donald Trump returned to the White House for the second time and didn’t waste any time fulfilling the promises he made during the presidential campaign.

Mere hours following his inauguration, Trump signed a number of executive orders and promised to declassify files related to major global events that have been the subject of conspiracy theories over the years.

Trump appointed Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna to lead the declassification task force after her call for “transparency” in federal government.

So, what can the public expect to be declassified under Trump’s presidency?

Files related to COVID-19, the virus that spread worldwide and claimed the lives of many, is one of the events the president wants to look into, more precisely, documents detailing the virus’s origin, which was believed to be released from a laboratory in China.

Further, Trump would allow classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy to be released. With this, he would also declassify documents of the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Speaking of the files regarding these cases of assassination, Trump said, “Lot of people are waiting for this for a long, long time, for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed.”

Speaking to podcaster Joe Rogan, President Trump revealed,”I did partially open [the files].

“I think I’ve opened 50% but I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it very soon. There’s a lot of interest in it.”

Another case that has been of great interest to the public, and the president himself obviously, is the case of Jeffrey Epstein, who was jailed for s*x trafficking and s*x charges.

Jeffrey Epstein/ New York State Sex Offender Registry

Epstein’s death in prison while awaiting trial on new child trafficking charges led to numerous conspiracy theories about the clients who were using his services.

Under Trump’s presidency, Epstein’s “client list” is expected to be made public once the files are declassified by the federal government.

While Trump was a known associate of Epstein in the past, there are no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the president in the case of the s*x offender.

Whether this “client list” differs from Epstein’s so-called “black book” which includes high-profile figures is yet to be seen.

Karen Valentine, the star of ‘Room 222,’ recalls an ‘awful’ experience she had on ‘The Dating Game’

Back in the day, The Dating Game was the first ever dating reality show which opened the path for a number of similar shows that followed. This one, however, served another purpose, too, that of a launchpad for new actors, among which Suzanne Somers, Tom Selleck, Leif Garret, and Karen Valentine.

Before agreeing to be part of the show, Valentine was a former beauty queen who was then given the chance to interview three eligible bachelors hidden behind a dividing wall.

However, as she believed the experience would be a fun one, her ‘pick’ made it terrible.

Recalling her appearance on The Dating Game, the now 77-year-old actress shared with Closer Weekly, “That was awful, because the guy thought that this was really going to be a date, right? The Dating Game got more serious later where people would be sent on trips.” She then added: “I only got to go to the Ambassador Hotel to see a show, but the guy thought we were going to make out in the limo and it, was, like, ‘You know this is a first date, right?’ It was so sleazy. You’d go to dinner and then to a show, which is the prize I won, but the guy thought this was serious. I wanted to get out of the date. You know, ‘Save the money, who needs to go on a date? Let me do another show. Give me a shot at acting or something.’”

Although the experience wasn’t a pleasant one, the show did help her land roles, including the one in Room 222, which catapulted her into stardom.

In 1970, Room 222 cleaned up at the Primetime Emmy Awards, earning titles for Outstanding New Series, while Valentine and Michael Constantine both won supporting roles.

This was everything a young actress like Karen Valentine dreamed of.

It seemed surreal that she earned such a prestigious award at the start of her career.

“It was kind of mind-blowing to have that happen so soon, so quickly,” said Valentine of her first nomination and win. “And to meet Carol Burnett and her saying, ‘Well, congratulations for this.’ It was like, ‘Thank you.’ But that Carol Burnett would know me? Just incredible.

“I remember I was taking singing lessons at the time, and I went to my singing class,” Valentine started. “Also taking lessons was Gregory Peck… When he walked by, I was at the teacher’s piano and he saw me through the window and kind of mimed, ‘You did it!’ I was like, ‘Oh my God. It’s Gregory Peck!’ How was it that I had the fortune to meet these stars and talented people from the get-go?”

The series was a huge hit, with incredible rankings and positive critics, but then, during season four, people’s interest in it declined and it was canceled in the middle of season four.

“Why things changed, I have no idea,” Valentine recalled when the network told the cast the show was cut. “But they did have the wherewithal to give us the word that it was happening, and it was sad… Well, it’s always sad, but especially when you feel you have a good product and a good show, for it to be taken away. But in the end, the network made the decision to go in a different direction. That’s what they always say, ‘We’ve decided to go in a different direction.’”

Karen Valentine appeared in a number of series and films, with her latest one, Wedding Daze, released in 2004.

Speaking of the role in Room 222, the actress has only fond memories of it.

“Working with all of those people, and to have that kind of experience first time out–the show just brings back the fondest and best memories in the world to me.

“…It also kind of spoiled me, because it set the bar really high. So when other things come to you, you think, ‘What is this?’ It was different, you know. But I was fortunate that I did get material that was pretty fun and well done.”

Valentine has been married two times. She and her second and current husband, Gary Lewis Verna, tied the knot in 1977.
