Take care of yourselves this winter, friends. via Nameless.tv


If you're wondering if there's an amount of money that would ever be "enough" for gazillionaire sociopath Elon Musk, the answer is apparently no.
He's already the world's richest man, with his net worth surpassing $800 billion in February after his company SpaceX acquired xAI earlier this year
That, too, is a record: He's the first person to ever surpass that insane number.
But Musk wants more, and announced in an X post that he has set a goal for himself of being worth $10 trillion.
Why? Who knows. At this point, it's best not to bother asking about the motivations of anything Elon Musk does.
Musk's tweet about his goal was in response to an announcement by Peter Diamandis, the Executive Chairman of the X Prize Foundation, a non-profit organization that puts on public competitions to encourage technological development.
Diamandis, like Musk and many other weird rich people in the tech industry, shares an interest in extending the human life span. Which means he basically worships Musk.
And in a post on X, Diamandis showed just how weirdly obsessed with Musk he is, posting a glazing diatribe celebrating Musk's new $800-plus million net worth.
Diamandis wrote:
"@elonmusk just crossed $800 billion — roughly 2.7% of the entire US GDP."
"The last person to hold that much of the American economy? John D. Rockefeller in 1913. It took a century for anyone to match him."
"Rockefeller had oil. Musk has the future."
Oh my God, just make out with him and get it over with, you don't need to do all this.
Anyway, when Diamandis was done [redacted] off to Musk, Musk responded by saying that only $10 trillion will do.
Which is bizarre, because that is so much money, it ceases to even mean anything beyond a number on a screen. It's good to have goals or whatever but...
Anyway, on social media, the cheering and adulation Diamandis and Musk both very clearly expected definitely did not come, other than the usual loud minority of right-wing tech bros paying for X so their tweets will go viral.
Everyone else seemed to feel like this kind of wealth obsession was more akin to mental illness than something to be celebrated.
Anyway, sorry you're having trouble paying your bills but the U.S. government couldn't possibly tax people like Elon Musk or he won't be able to achieve his goals. Thanks for your understanding.
MAGA Republican President Donald Trump signed a memo at the White House on Tuesday, reinstating the Presidential Fitness Test Award.
Seated at the C&O Desk—Trump removed the Resolute Desk in February of 2025 for some "light refinishing"—in the Oval Office, the POTUS was flanked by schoolchildren, professional athletes, and members of his cabinet during the event to mark National Youth Sports and Fitness Month.
During the signing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the test is being made mandatory for students at 161 schools located on U.S. military installations.
Hegseth, who has been mocked for his fitness form during workout videos he posted, said:
"We need young, strong, healthy Americans, whether you serve in the military or any other aspect of your life. The idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline of a nation."
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unironically declared:
"We need to teach people how to win and how to lose and how to process victory and defeat."
Apparently RFK Jr. wasn't listening every time Trump and his sycophants and acolytes whined and lied about his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election or every time Trump lied and said he won in a landslide in 2024.
When Trump spoke, things got a bit weirder—and creepier. People were probably grateful the POTUS didn't start talking about Arnold Palmer again.

You can see some clips from the event here:
After Trump ranted about transgender "mutilization" and asked a child if he could take him in a fight, the entire cast of characters took to the White House lawn where various sports activities were lined up.
As some of Trump's favorite songs, like the Village People's "YMCA" and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" blared in the background, Trump took a group, which included legendary 90-year-old South African golfer Gary Player and American LIV player Bryson DeChambeau and children of varying ages, to a putting demonstration.
Trump, who has spent more time playing golf than any other President and who reportedly owns 16 golf courses, grabbed a putter to show the kids how to sink golf balls six feet from the hole.
Then he whiffed three times before giving up.
You can see the moment here:
Given that, as of early May 2026, the estimated total taxpayer cost for Trump’s golf trips across both his first presidency (2017–2021) and his second (January 2025–present) has been calculated at $250 million to $300 million, righteous mockery soon followed.

He humiliates himself daily. If he had shame, he would have died of it already.

Lmmfao can't sink a mini-golf putt without his cheating caddies there to drop it in for him.

Trump has claimed to be a scratch golfer or better, sometimes bragging about a handicap of 3 or below, while his official handicap according to the Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) is 2.8.
But the POTUS has been caught cheating multiple times and was reportedly nicknamed "Pele" after the legendary Brazilian football (soccer) star by caddies for kicking the ball to get it into a more advantageous position.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer responded after the White House marked Cinco de Mayo on Tuesday by sharing a racist AI-generated meme of him and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries celebrating the holiday.
In the image, the two men are depicted seated at a table near the border, wearing sombreros and raising margaritas in a toast, with a sign placed in front of them that reads: “I LOVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.”
The White House, via its official X account, included the following caption:
"Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate!"
You can see the post and the image below.

Schumer responded with an image of Trump and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.
Schumer's post referenced the fact that Trump has not released the Epstein files in full despite campaigning on that promise and has done everything he can to distance himself from the scandal despite the fact his own name appears in the files more than 38,000 times.
The image, doctored to depict the two men wearing sombreros, was accompanied by the following caption:
"Happy Cinco de Mayo, @WhiteHouse!"
You can see the post and the image below.

Others joined Schumer in calling out the White House.
The racist post comes months after the White House shared an image of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns, juxtaposed against an image of Schumer and Jeffries in sombreros.
That post itself was a reference to an AI-generated video Trump shared after a September 2025 meeting with Jeffries and Schumer in a failed attempt to prevent a government shutdown. That video features Jeffries in a sombrero and Schumer calling Democrats "woke pieces of sh*t."
The video, presented to the tune of the “Mexican Hat Dance,” was Trump's response to failed negotiations regarding Democrats' rejection of the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
The impasse culminated in a 43-day government shutdown, the longest in government history. Since January, there have been two partial shutdowns, one impacting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that ended after 76 days.
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for her coverage of the Trump administration's disastrous DOGE initiative and her somber reaction to the news underscores how taxing the political environment has been for journalists just trying to do their jobs.
DOGE founder Elon Musk previously stated that his goal was to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion from the $6.75 trillion annual budget recorded in the 2024 fiscal year.
In March 2025, just two months into the second Trump administration, DOGE claimed its initiatives have led to an estimated $140 billion in savings—an amount that was called into question.
Natanson led an investigation into DOGE's dysfunction and the larger federal workforce reduction and government overhaul. In January, the Justice Department seized two computers, a recorder, Garmin watch, phone and a portable hard drive from Natanson during a home raid in an investigation into an official accused of leaking classified material.
Natanson had been in communication with Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones before he was arrested and indicted in Maryland on charges of unlawfully obtaining and distributing classified information. Both prosecutors and Natanson have maintained that evidence contained on her phone is unlikely to yield information materially relevant to Perez-Lugones’s case.
The raid severely impacted Natanson's ability to do her work and she later told the judge and the government that “I need my devices back to do my job," drawing significant attention amid the Trump administration's wider attacks against press freedom.
Natanson's work covering the federal workforce culminated in her receiving the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service—but the atmosphere in the newsroom as they celebrated the news was a somber one, with Natanson looking haunted by what has no doubt been a stressful experience.
You can see her reaction in the video below.
Many were chilled by the gravity of the situation but nonetheless praised Natanson's fearlessness in the face of governmental pressure.
Natanson's Pulitzer victory came as U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga condemned the seizure of her devices.
In an order on Monday, the judge noted that Natanson’s devices are protected from seizure under the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, which bars government officials from searching for or confiscating a journalist’s “work product” or “documentary materials” as part of a criminal investigation.
He wrote that "given the large volume of non-responsive documents among the Seized Material, the Court cannot ignore the seizure’s effect on Natanson’s ability to function as a journalist."
Trenga also pointed out that "Nor can the Court ignore, whether intended or not, the harassing and chilling effects such a seizure could have on a reporter, particularly one focused on Executive Branch conduct and where the Government contends that ‘all of the [Seized Material] is presumptively relevant to the investigation at this point."
If M.I.A. was hoping for attention, she got it—just not the kind that comes with a tour slot. Following backlash over her rant about “illegals,” Kid Cudi made it clear he’s not co-signing the controversy, dropping her from his Rebel Ragers Tour with zero hesitation.
It all went down on May 2 at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas, where fans captured the British rapper in a monologue that quickly went viral online.
M.I.A., born Mathangi Arulpragasam, addressed the crowd:
“I’ve been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter.”
According to a caption on one video, M.I.A. also told the audience she would not perform her song "Illygal," adding that some in the crowd “might be.”
Captured by a fan, the video can be seen here:
@shalsea_mac @KidCudi you were awesome but THIS?? #fyp #kidcudi #fy #TheRebelRagersTour #MIA
The line struck some fans as contradictory, especially given M.I.A.'s longstanding engagement with immigration themes in her music. She gained popularity in the early 2000s with singles such as "Paper Planes" and "Galang."
M.I.A. can also be heard saying:
"All right, I'm illegal. Half of my team are not here because they didn't get the visa, OK? I want you to know that. All right, so don't listen to what the bots say on the internet."
You can view that video here:
At the Kid Cudi concert with MIA she started randomly started talking about how she’s a Republican & how at that concert there’s probably a bunch of illegals that she’s having to play too. People started booing her & quite a few left & asked for a refund.She ended her career. pic.twitter.com/nc9w4QpiD9

M.I.A. also said, "We should be above politics,” but her words were already amplified by social media posts, Reddit, and Consequence of Sound. While it’s unclear what prompted the remarks, multiple fans posted that she was booed onstage during Kid Cudi’s Dallas show.
Soon after, Kid Cudi announced he was cutting M.I.A. from the tour following messages from fans calling her comments “offensive.”
Explaining his decision, Cudi said in a statement on Instagram Stories:
"After the last couple shows, I've been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing, and I won't have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase."
He also added that he had instructed his management team, before it began, to notify her camp that he did not want anything “offensive” included in his shows because he anticipated potential issues.

M.I.A. quickly clapped back on X, writing in one post that her music speaks for itself and that the intro had more to do with her team not having received U.S. visas.
She pushed back:
"I wrote borders and 'Illygal' and 'Paper Planes' before you thought immigrant rights were cool. I've had these battles by myself without the help of millions of fans backing me. I don't need this virtue signal era to all of a sudden erase an entire life I've led."
She also said she had no apology for “the judgmental, the wicked, and the ignorant,” and noted in replies that she cannot vote in the United States after a user accused her of supporting President Donald Trump.
She ended the social media tirade by calling for unity
"We must unite to make this country, that everyone wants to live in a better place.”

I WROTE ILLYGAL ON THE MAYA LP A SONG FROM 2010.
I STARTED THIS INTRO TO THE SONG WITH THE STATEMENT SAYING I'M ILLYGAL, AND I SAID MY TEAM HASN'T GOTTEN VISAS YET. THEN PLAYED A SONG THAT HAD LYRICS SAYING "FU&% THE LAW", WHICH I STILL BELIEVE, IF THE LAW IS UNJUST F@%& IT.

M.I.A. is reportedly working on a new project described as a “gospel” album, following her 2022 release MATA and a 2024 Coachella appearance with Major Lazer—but online, the focus quickly shifted from what’s next in her music to the fallout from her latest onstage antics.
Kid Cudi’s decision sparked a wave of reactions across social media:
Meanwhile, Kid Cudi is headlining his Rebel Ragers North American tour through June 2026. He recently released the EP HAVE U BN 2 HEAVEN @ NITE, launched the podcast Big Bro With Kid Cudi, and continues work with his Mad Solar production company, including his upcoming directorial debut, Teddy.
The Rebel Ragers Tour, which launched April 28 in Phoenix, includes stops in 30 North American cities, with Big Boi remaining on the lineup. A-Trak, Me N Ü, and Dot Da Genius are also slated to appear on select dates, though the conversation surrounding the tour has shifted after M.I.A.’s removal.
