Elon Musk has received billions in corporate welfare from U.S. taxpayers. Now he wants to stop 30 million Americans who lost jobs from receiving $600 a week in unemployment benefits, while his wealth has gone up by $46....

Since he couldn’t write on Twitter, after being banned following a series of antisemitic posts, West resorted to sharing his theory on his Instagram account. “Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half Chinese? Have you ever seen his pics as a child?” West, now known as Ye, asked his 18.4 million followers on Sunday evening. “Take a Chinese genius and mate them with a South African super model and we have an Elon,” West wrote....

Aside from getting hold of the best antivirus software (opens in new tab), the best strategy to fight these viruses is prevention. If you see an email from a complete stranger, report it as spam. If you get an email from a friend or family member but the subject seems off, delete it without opening it. If it keeps recurring, report it as spam. Tell your family member or friend that you believe that their email account has been compromised and that a virus is using their contact list to send out copies of itself....

Phil Jagielka’s 10th-minute goal at Goodison Park on Sunday condemned the Gunners to their first defeat in seven Premier League matches. A point would have been enough to overtake Tottenham in third but the visitors failed to match Everton’s enthusiasm in an extension of the away woes that have produced just six points from the last 27 available on the road. Fifth place beckons if London rivals Chelsea avoid defeat at home to West Ham on Monday and Arsenal could come to rue their lacklustre effort on Merseyside with the race for Champions League qualification intensifying....

While details on Clarke’s Secret Invasion role were not divulged when news of her joining the series broke, the prevailing theory is that she will be playing one of the presumably multiple Skrulls who invade Earth undetected. If the comic book version of the Secret Invasion story is any indication, Clarke’s character could be a threat to the planet if she is indeed playing a Skrull, but so far these theories remain unconfirmed by anyone at Marvel Studios....

Elliott Abrams, a Washington veteran who rose to prominence in the 1980s with his staunch interventionist, anti-communist stances in Latin America and until now served as Trump’s special representative to Venezuela will replace Brian Hook, who was appointed in the wake of the U.S. exit from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, the State Department confirmed in a statement. The selection signifies a hardline push for the administration against Iran in the final months of Trump’s first term as the revolutionary Shiite Muslim power continues to defy U....

But Elliott had earned his spot in Cup racing by running well for his family owned operation. He had sponsorship from McDonald’s after Junior Johnson let him go. So why not try to own his race team? For six years, Elliott was stuck on 40 wins as he tried to make it on his own. “That was a bad decision,” he said. “I don’t necessarily say regrets. There would be things I would do differently....

Their outrage just proves what an excellent idea Musk’s scheme is. Opening up access to paid verification for all users interested in paying for it would go a long way to growing the platform, supporting users, and defending online freedom of speech. Twitter has always struggled to monetize the platform—which is why it was available to be bought by Musk in the first place. While the company carries clout and popularity with celebrities, journalists, and institutions, that never translated to profitability....

Musk opened his monologue by noting that he’s “making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL. Or at least the first to admit it.” “It’s an honor to be hosting Saturday Night Live. I mean that, sometimes after I say something I have to say, I mean that. Some people rarely know that I mean, that’s because I don’t always have a lot of intonation or variation in how I speak, which I’m told makes for great comedy,” he said....
