‘My own employees … had downloaded software on my phone’: Kristi Noem claims Elon Musk helped expose spyware inside DHS

Though the Department of Homeland Security has achieved some success in deporting illegal aliens, it has always been met with resistance — both on the street and in the department itself.

In an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet-David this week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed the depth of some of the problems her department has been facing and the people who have helped her fight the alleged corruption.

“You wouldn’t even believe what I’ve found since I’ve been in this department,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on the “PBD Podcast” this week.

“I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret SCIF — secure facility — that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions. We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics.”

Mexico’s Sheinbaum Weighs Legal Action After Musk Alleges Cartel Ties

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is considering legal action after tech billionaire Elon Musk alleged on social media that she was taking orders from drug cartels.

Speaking at a Feb. 24 news conference in Mexico City, Sheinbaum said government lawyers were reviewing the matter.

“We’re considering whether to take some legal action,” she said.

“The lawyers are looking into it, but what matters to me is what the people say, honestly.”

Musk’s allegation of Sheinbaum’s cartel subservience followed the capture and killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (JNGC) leader Nemesio Oseguera, known as “El Mencho,” by Mexican security forces.

In his post on X, Musk responded to a 2025 video of Sheinbaum discussing cartel violence and saying that returning to a war against the cartels is “not an option” because it would mean extrajudicial killings that are “outside the framework of the law.” She added that military force against the cartels would also be counterproductive because it would trigger retaliatory violence that would only “increase homicides in Mexico.”

Responding to those remarks, Musk alleged that she was “saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say.”

“Let’s just say that their punishment for disobedience is a little worse than a ‘performance improvement plan,’” Musk wrote.

He did not provide evidence to support his claims.

Sheinbaum could face difficulty suing Musk for defamation in the United States because of strong legal protections for free speech. To prevail, she would need to show that Musk knowingly made a false statement or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.

Tesla, Musk’s auto company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Nearly Half of Jury Pool Dismissed in Elon Musk Trial After Prospective Jurors Openly Admit They ‘Hate’ Him

Nearly half of the potential jurors in a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk were dismissed during selection after admitting they could not remain impartial, with many outright saying that they “hate” him.

The case, playing out in a liberal stronghold, really displays the biases against conservatives within the judicial system.

Jury selection for the trial began this week in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, presided over by Judge Charles R. Breyer.

Mediaite reports:

Breyer, a Clinton appointee and younger brother of former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, began jury selection by commenting to the lawyers for both sides that Musk had achieved a level of fame that was “like the President of the United States,” and even if they “search the entire country,” it would probably be nearly impossible to find someone who did not have some sort of opinion about Musk.

“As a public figure he will excite strong views, and for him in particular, people have strong views,” Breyer added. “The question is, and courts are very clear about this, is whether they can set them aside.”

Finding nine jurors who could put their opinions about Musk aside to be properly fair and impartial took over five hours.

“As a public figure he will excite strong views, and for him in particular, people have strong views,” Breyer said. “The question is, and courts are very clear about this, is whether they can set them aside.”

Out of a pool of 93 prospective jurors, 40 were immediately excused after raising their hands to indicate they could not set aside their personal biases against Musk.

Juror questionnaires also revealed deep-seated animosity.

Elon DEMANDS Investigation Into Reid Hoffman’s “Ice Cream For The Girls” Epstein Ties

Elon Musk has ramped up his assault on LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, demanding a full investigation into the Democrat mega-donor’s disturbing Epstein connections—including buying “ice cream… for the girls” and offering PR help as the child trafficking scandal erupted.

This latest clash exposes Hoffman’s role in Epstein’s elite circle, where he exchanged over 1,700 emails, called the sex offender a “very close friend,” and stayed at all three notorious properties, while funneling millions into anti-Trump dirty tricks that undermine American democracy.

The feud intensified when Musk responded to a detailed thread by investigative poster @KanekoaTheGreat, who highlighted Hoffman’s Epstein entanglements. “Hoffman should be investigated,” Musk stated bluntly, echoing his earlier calls for scrutiny.

In the thread, emails reveal Hoffman offering “ice cream… for the girls” and a “metal sculpture for the island” during his visits to Epstein’s Little St. James, New Mexico ranch, and Manhattan townhouse. One chilling message shows Hoffman regretting a missed opportunity to deliver a gift, responding “likewise” to Epstein’s disappointment and promising it “will wait for the next opportunity.”

Even more damning, in January 2015—as global headlines blasted allegations of Epstein trafficking Virginia Roberts to Prince Andrew—Hoffman offered to assist with Epstein’s negative press coverage. Why would a top Silicon Valley figure and Democrat powerhouse step in to shield a convicted predator during his downfall?

Elon Musk’s ‘Moon Cities’ Fairy Tale: A Transparent Cover for Militarizing Lunar High Ground

Introduction

In February 2026, Elon Musk announced a sudden, dramatic pivot for SpaceX, shifting focus from his long-touted goal of colonizing Mars to building a ‘self-growing city’ on the Moon within a decade [1]. This abrupt change, presented as a pragmatic realization that the Moon is closer, has been breathlessly reported by a compliant tech press. But to those who scrutinize the patterns of power, this narrative is not a scientific epiphany; it is a masterclass in strategic deception.

Musk’s track record is one of comic-book futures sold to a scientifically illiterate public-from perpetually ‘next year’ Full Self-Driving cars to the erratic Grok AI. His moon city promise is the latest chapter, a fantastical cover story designed to secure public funding and approval for a far darker agenda: the weaponization of the ultimate strategic high ground. This article will deconstruct the biological impossibilities of lunar habitation, expose the suicidal environmental realities, and reveal how the seductive fantasy of ‘moon cities’ is a transparent smokescreen for deploying the most terrifying planetary bombardment system ever conceived.

Elon’s Sci-Fi Fantasy: From Mars to Moon, Same Empty Promises

Elon Musk’s declaration that ‘SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon’ represents a glaring contradiction of his own multi-year Mars colonization crusade [1]. This isn’t a course correction based on new science; it’s strategic theater. Musk himself noted the Moon lacks the carbon dioxide needed to make methane for his Starship fuel, a fundamental logistical flaw he previously used to justify focusing on Mars [2]. The sudden ‘realization’ that the Moon is a quicker target is a laughable excuse for a public long conditioned to accept technocratic fairy tales.

This pattern of overpromising and underdelivering is Musk’s hallmark. He sells visions of the future to a public whose understanding of physics and biology has been eroded by a corrupt education system and a deceitful media. The moon city narrative is merely the latest shiny object dangled before the masses to distract from the underlying military-industrial drive. As investigative journalist James Corbett has warned, one of the most important strategies to prepare against government-endorsed weaponized narratives is to build community with like-minded people who share your views [3]. Questioning Musk’s sudden lunar zeal is the first step in seeing through the con.

The Biological and Physical Impossibility of Lunar Cities

The dream of a bustling lunar metropolis shatters against the unforgiving reality of lunar environmental science. First and foremost is the lethal radiation environment. The Moon has no protective magnetosphere or substantial atmosphere to shield its surface from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events. As research has confirmed, ‘The radiation dose rates from measurements obtained over the last four years… are higher than previously conceived’ [4]. Prolonged exposure to this radiation would lead to rapid cancer development and catastrophic genetic damage for any surface dweller.

Furthermore, the Moon’s lack of atmosphere means a pure vacuum at its surface. This presents two immediate, insurmountable problems for human life and machinery. First, any pinhole breach in a habitat or suit means instant explosive decompression and death. Second, the vacuum eliminates the possibility of combustion, rendering standard internal combustion engines for heavy machinery-necessary for any construction or mining-utterly useless [5]. The concept of operating functional heavy machinery in a vacuum without oxygen is a fantasy.

Finally, the extreme thermal environment would mechanically destroy any human-made structure. Surface temperatures swing between -173°C (-279°F) at night to 127°C (261°F) during the day [6]. This constant, radical expansion and contraction would fatigue and crack even the most advanced materials, leading to inevitable catastrophic structural failure. The notion of permanent surface cities is an engineering impossibility.

Elon Musk claims his emails with Jeffrey Epstein have been ‘misinterpreted’ and that he did NOT go to his island

Elon Musk claimed that his emails with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been ‘misinterpreted’ as he insisted that he did not go to his island.

The world’s richest man said Saturday on X that he had declined, ‘repeated invitations’ from Epstein to visit him in the Caribbean or fly on his famed ‘Lolita Express’ private plane.

Musk added that he was, ‘well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name’.

‘I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein,’ Musk said.

In particular he called for those who committed, ‘heinous exploitation of underage girls’ to be brought to justice.

Government files appeared to show that the Tesla leader emailed Epstein about what day would be suitable to visit the financier’s island for a soiree.

‘What day/night will be the wildest party on =our (sic) island?’ Musk emailed Epstein on November 25, 2012, per Department of Justice documents released on Friday.

Musk also said the latest release of the Epstein files was ‘nothing but a distraction’.

The Tesla leader added that justice would only arrive when arrests are made in connection to the convicted sex offender’s crimes.

‘What matters is not release [sic] of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein,’ Musk wrote on X.

Musk also called for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘clients’ to be detained.

‘Until we see at least one client arrest, this partial release of Epstein files means nothing,’ he said.

The date of Musk’s email came after Epstein had been convicted of sex crimes against minors in Florida. 

Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008.

The $134 Billion Betrayal: Inside Elon Musk’s Explosive Lawsuit With OpenAI

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft has evolved into a high-stakes dispute over whether OpenAI stayed true to the mission it was founded on or quietly outgrew it while relying on that original promise.

Musk is seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages, a figure derived from an expert valuation that treats his early funding and contributions as foundational to what OpenAI later became. While the number is enormous, the heart of the case is simpler: Musk argues he helped create and fund a nonprofit dedicated to AI for the public good, and that OpenAI later abandoned that commitment in a way that amounted to fraud.

According to Musk’s filings, his roughly $38 million in early funding was not just a donation but the financial backbone of OpenAI’s formative years, supplemented by recruiting help, strategic guidance, and credibility. His damages theory, prepared by financial economist C. Paul Wazzan, ties those early inputs to OpenAI’s current valuation of around $500 billion.

The claim is framed as disgorgement rather than repayment, with Musk arguing that the vast gains realized by OpenAI and Microsoft flowed from a nonprofit story that attracted support and trust, only to be discarded once the company reached scale, according to TechCrunch. 

Much of the public attention has centered on internal documents uncovered during discovery, particularly private notes from OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman in 2017.

One line has become central to Musk’s argument: “I cannot believe that we committed to non-profit if three months later we’re doing b-corp then it was a lie.”

Trump Says He Will Speak to Musk About Restoring Internet Access in Iran​

President Donald Trump said on Jan. 11 he was planning to speak with tech billionaire Elon Musk about restoring internet access in Iran after the regime blocked online services amid protests.

“As you know, he’s very good at that kind of thing. He’s got a very good company. So we may speak to Elon Musk, and heck, I’m going to call him as soon as I’m finished with you,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Musk’s SpaceX company offers the Starlink service, which allows users access to the internet without any wired connection via a constellation of satellites surrounding Earth.

The flow of information from Iran has been hampered by an internet blackout since Jan. 8.

Neither Musk, who also owns social media platform X and electric car company Tesla, nor Starlink has yet commented publicly on Trump’s statement about the use of the technology in Iran.

The Epoch Times contacted SpaceX for comment but received no comment by publication time.

Musk: AI Will Make Cash Worthless, Work Optional, Retirement-saving Obsolete — and More

If “work ennobles man,” as the saying goes, are we headed for a very ignoble future? If “cash is king” today, what will reign tomorrow? If an abundance of the material can bury the spiritual, are we headed for an ever-more intensified secularism?

These questions could and should be asked with a prediction billionaire industrialist Elon Musk recently made.

Our not-too-distant future is one, he says, in which cash will be worthless and work merely an option. Why, Musk adds, there may not even be a reason to save for retirement. How come?

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will in a decade or two, he states, deliver a world of mechanical slaves that will satisfy every human need and want. In fact, the only limit to the abundance might be energy constraints and raw materials’ finiteness.

The Ant and The Grasshopper — Mr. Hopper’s Time Has Come?

Reporting on the story earlier this week, The Daily Overview wrote:

Musk has moved beyond warning that AI will disrupt jobs and is now arguing that it will underwrite a new baseline of prosperity. As Tesla CEO, he has said that advanced systems will create a kind of universal high income that makes traditional saving less important, because machines will be able to produce almost everything people need with minimal human labor. In his view, the combination of AI and robotics [AI-Bot] will eliminate poverty by driving the cost of goods and services toward zero….

He has gone further, arguing that as AI systems scale, money itself will soon be useless in the way people currently understand it. In one account, the argument is framed explicitly as “According to Elon Musk, Money Will Soon Be Useless, Why Does He Predict the End of Poverty,” with Musk contending that AI and robotics will become the backbone of a utopian society where scarcity is engineered away and financial incentives lose their central role. That framing captures his claim that the same technologies that threaten existing jobs could, if managed correctly, also dismantle material deprivation….

This may sound fanciful to some. But the only real question is whether we’ll destroy ourselves, or whether AI will, before or soon after this technology’s full flowering. What’s for certain is that if we don’t, AI-Bot will eventually be able to perform every or virtually every job. Why, need a plumber? A dexterous AI android may be repairing your pipes.

‘Fourth Reich’: Musk Strikes Back At EU ‘Tyrants’ After X Fine

Elon Musk is not taking the outrageous fine from Brussels bureaucrats lying down, lashing out at EU officialdom for taking on Nazi characteristics and oppressing their own citizens’ best interests…

As Catherine Salgado reports for PJMedia.com, Musk also re-shared a post about Irish teacher Enoch Burke, who was jailed for refusing to use transgender pronouns, and later replied to another user, “So many politicians in Europe who are traitors to their own people.”

And Musk highlighted the fact that Meta has a verification program similar to X’s, yet the EU hasn’t onerously fined the more censorship-prone Meta.

Musk reposted and reiterated his previous explanation of why he bought X (then Twitter) in the first place.

“I didn’t do the Twitter purchase because I thought it was a great way to make money. I knew that there would be a zillion slings and arrows coming in my direction.

It really felt like, there was a civilizational danger that unless one of the major online platforms broke ranks, then, because they’re all just behaving in lockstep along with the legacy media.

Literally there was no place to actually get the truth. It was almost impossible. So everything was just getting censored. The power of the censorship apparatus was incredible,” Musk said.

The EU seems to be borrowing ideas from 20th century Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler…
