Tensions are rising between Elon Musk and Donald Trump following a fallout over a controversial tax bill. Just days after stepping down from his role as a Special Government Employee¡ªa short-term, unpaid advisory position¡ªMusk publicly criticized the Trump administration on X. The disagreement centers on legislation that slashes electric vehicle tax credits, a move that directly impacts Tesla. By late April, Musk's company had spent over $240,000 lobbying to protect these credits and support other Tesla-related interests. Despite private efforts to get the credits reinstated, Musk reportedly made no progress. Musk also pushed for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to adopt Starlink technology for national air traffic control, but the administration declined due to conflict-of-interest concerns. The tipping point came when Trump abruptly withdrew the nomination of Musk ally Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator.

In a chilling echo of the George Floyd tragedy, 42-year-old Indian-origin man Gaurav Kundi is fighting for his life in Australia after a violent police encounter in Adelaide. Kundi, a father of two, was allegedly tackled and kneed in the neck by police officers after they misread a loud argument between him and his partner, Amritpal Kaur, as a domestic violence incident. Despite Kaur¡¯s pleas that he was simply drunk and not violent, police restrained him forcefully. His condition deteriorated on the scene, with Kaur begging officers to take him to the hospital¡ªnot the station. Kundi is now on life support with suspected brain damage. South Australia Police have launched an internal investigation and are reviewing bodycam footage. The incident bears painful similarities to the death of George Floyd in 2020, which ignited global protests against racial injustice and police brutality.
The Punjab State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) has uncovered a suspected espionage network linked to Jasbir Singh, a resident of Mahlan village in Rupnagar district. Singh, who runs a YouTube channel named Jaan Mahal, is under investigation for alleged ties with Pakistani operatives and individuals already in custody. Jasbir is not the first Indian to fall under the radar for suspected espionage. Recently, YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra and 12 others were arrested from different parts of India as agencies exposed a wider network involved in spying, cross-border smuggling, and assisting enemy operations. Jasbir was reportedly in contact with Jyoti Malhotra before her arrest. Following her detention, he attempted to delete videos and contacts from his phone. He was allegedly in touch with ISI operative Shakir and had traveled to Pakistan three times.

In a rare escalation, Syria launched projectiles into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, triggering panic and sirens across northern Israel.

Explosions rocked the area, with reports of significant casualties and damage. A little-known group, the Martyr Muhammad Deif Brigades, claimed responsibility. As tensions flare, Israel holds Syria¡¯s interim leadership accountable, while Syria denies involvement, warning of destabilisation efforts by other parties in the region.
Former President Donald Trump has publicly suggested that Biden died in 2020 and that what the world now sees are clones, body doubles, or robotic entities lacking soul and consciousness. These statements, though widely criticized, have gained traction on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), fueling a wave of conspiracy theories. Trump has consistently mocked Biden¡¯s health, referencing his moments of confusion during public events and even casting doubt on his medical records. Biden's visible stumbles, speech lapses, and apparent disorientation at times have only added to the speculation. In one instance, Trump reacted sharply after Biden revealed he had developed prostate cancer, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t feel sorry for him¡ªhe¡¯s vicious. I don¡¯t feel sorry.¡± As discussions grow louder, a provocative question surfaces: If such claims were to hold any truth, is it scientifically possible for clones or engineered doubles to convincingly replicate human behavior and cognition?

Another shocking incident unfolds in the U.S. as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian-born man and alleged Palestine supporter, launched an attack using a makeshift flamethrower on a peaceful march in Boulder, Colorado. The demonstrators were walking in support of Israeli hostages being held in Gaza when Soliman, disguised as a gardener, approached and injured six elderly individuals aged between 67 and 88. Soliman, a 45-year-old rideshare driver and father of five, had been living in Colorado Springs after moving from Kuwait. Authorities revealed he had overstayed a tourist visa since 2022 and had applied for asylum. During interrogation, Soliman confessed he had been planning this attack for over a year, waiting for his daughter¡¯s high school graduation. The disturbing assault highlights rising tensions in the U.S. around the Israel-Palestine conflict and follows a similar incident just two weeks prior, when two Israelis were attacked in Washington, D.C.
