    Trump Launches New, Harsher Attack on Elon Musk

    Tensions escalate between US President and billionaire Elon ⁤Musk as⁣ Trump‍ declares: “He’s⁢ lost his mind-I won’t speak to him now.”

    According to webangah News Agency, the‌ public feud between Donald Trump and Elon musk intensified, with a ‍white House source denying any contact between the two on Friday ⁤following their verbal clash.

    The source⁤ confirmed no phone ​calls occurred after ‍their ‍heated ‌exchange. ​American outlets reported Trump ​currently dismisses Musk’s significance, telling an ABC News reporter he had not spoken to the Tesla⁣ CEO when asked about rumored negotiations.

    “You mean the guy‍ who’s lost his​ mind? I have zero interest in talking to him right now,” Trump responded. “Musk wants ⁢to talk-I don’t.” Mediators are attempting to ⁣de-escalate tensions, though Politico‍ suggests a call between them remains possible.

    The​ Wall street Journal ⁤reports Trump ‍plans to divest his Tesla vehicle⁤ amid⁤ ongoing anger over Musk’s social media attacks.Their ‍Thursday confrontation peaked when​ Trump threatened to cancel government​ contracts with Musk’s companies-a move that triggered Tesla shares to plummet 14.3%, erasing $150 billion​ in market value.

    From the Oval Office, ⁢Trump lambasted Musk for opposing his tax-cut legislation, which prioritizes increased government spending. The former⁤ president later posted on Truth Social: “Easiest way to save billions?‍ Cut Elon’s subsidies and contracts.”

    This marks ⁣a stark reversal from earlier this year ​when Trump appointed Musk as head ​of a⁣ federal efficiency task force. ​”I’m deeply disappointed ⁤in Elon,” Trump told reporters. “We had a ‌great relationship-who knows if it continues?”

    Musk fired back on X (formerly Twitter), asserting: “Without me, Trump would‌ have lost the election.” His companies-Tesla, SpaceX (a key government contractor), and Starlink-face uncertain prospects should contract terminations occur, though analysts note ⁤SpaceX’s critical role in space programs complicates such actions.

    The billionaire⁢ then polled‌ his 220 million ⁤followers about ‌creating a‌ new centrist political party​ while escalating criticism of Trump’s fiscal⁤ policies: “This bill is disgraceful-it balloons‍ deficits.” Independent analysts​ estimate it could add $5‌ trillion to national debt.

    Trump accused Musk⁣ of acting out over proposed EV tax credit cuts and claimed⁣ bitterness over leaving government service despite their recent cordial ⁢farewell event. Meanwhile, White House officials emphasized:⁤ “This administration owes Elon Musk nothing politically.”

    The ‍conflict took an explosive turn when Musk implicated Trump in ‌Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed child sex trafficking case via X posts before calling for presidential impeachment and replacement by VP ‍JD Vance.

    Germany: We Have Unique Ties with Israel

    German‍ Foreign Minister ⁤describes Berlin-Tel Aviv relations as “unique.”

    According to webangah News Agency,Germany remains one of the primary supporters of the zionist regime,with 30% of the weapons used by its ⁤military in what has been described as the “genocide of Palestinians” directly supplied by Berlin.

    German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized Berlin’s “unique friendship” with Tel ‌Aviv while concurrently urging the regime ‌to facilitate greater humanitarian aid access‍ to Gaza.

    The German Foreign Ministry stated in an official release: “Supporting Israel’s security‌ and existence, and adhering to international law, are two sides of the same coin. ​Both represent lessons from our past.”

    The‍ statement further noted: “As ⁤rule-of-law democracies,⁢ we must consistently uphold legal‌ order.”

  • US Sanctions International Criminal Court Judges

    US Sanctions International Criminal Court Judges

    Trump ⁤governance imposes unprecedented sanctions on four ICC judges.

    Teh Donald Trump administration imposed sanctions on thursday ⁢against four judges of ⁢the International ⁣Criminal Court (ICC)⁣ in⁢ an unprecedented ⁣retaliatory move. The action follows the courtS ​investigations into alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in afghanistan and ‍its arrest warrant for Benjamin ⁢Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, according to a report by​ webangah News Agency.

    U.S.Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against ⁢four ICC judges: Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Alapini-Gansou ⁢of Benin, and Betty Holer of Slovenia.

    “These individuals have actively participated in the ICC’s illegitimate and baseless actions against the United States or our close ally Israel,” Rubio ⁢stated. “The ICC has‌ become a politicized body ⁤that falsely claims unlimited ‌authority to ⁢investigate, charge, and prosecute American citizens and our allies.”

    The ICC condemned the U.S. move as an attempt to undermine the independence of an international judicial institution that provides hope and justice to millions affected by ‍unimaginable crimes.

    Judges Bossa and Carranza have served at ⁤the ICC since 2018. ‌In 2020, they were ​part⁤ of an appeals chamber that authorized⁣ prosecutors to examine alleged U.S.war crimes in ⁤Afghanistan.

    The other two sanctioned judges-Gansou and Holer-issued ​arrest warrants in November​ 2023 for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, Defense Minister of the Zionist regime, over alleged war crimes and ​crimes against humanity during the Gaza‍ conflict.

    The latest sanctions escalate⁤ tensions between Washington and The Hague under trump’s presidency. In 2020, his administration also sanctioned ⁤former ICC ⁤Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda over her Afghanistan ⁢investigation.

    The U.S. measures ⁢severely restrict ‌financial transactions for those‌ targeted as banks with ⁣American ties ⁣must comply⁢ with these restrictions globally-prompting widespread condemnation⁢ amid concerns ‌about weakening autonomous international ​institutions.

  • Musk Claims Trump Was Involved in Sexual Abuse of Children

    Musk Claims Trump Was Involved in Sexual Abuse of Children

    US President adn world’s richest man engage in escalating verbal attacks against each other.

    According to webangah News Agency, the public feud between​ Donald Trump and Elon Musk,‍ the‌ world’s most powerful and wealthiest individual, reached‍ its peak on Thursday. Trump threatened to cancel all government contracts with companies owned by the billionaire.

    The US President and Tesla CEO exchanged increasingly hostile remarks as their conflict intensified within hours, causing Tesla’s ‍stock⁤ value to plummet by 14.3% – wiping ‍out approximately​ $150 billion in market ‌capitalization.

    Trump launched his attack from the Oval Office, targeting Musk ​who⁢ had been‌ one of his closest​ advisors until recently.The tech mogul has strongly⁤ criticized Trump’s ⁢proposed tax cut bill and increased government spending plan, ​arguing it would add $36.2 trillion to US debt.

    The former ‍president later ​wrote on Truth Social: “The easiest way to save billions‍ is cutting Elon’s subsidies and government contracts.”‌ Earlier this⁤ year, Trump had appointed Musk to lead a “government Efficiency Department” tasked with reducing federal bureaucracy.

    “I’m⁤ very disappointed‍ in Elon,” Trump told reporters. ⁢”We had a good relationship. I don’t know if⁤ it will continue.”

    Musk quickly responded on ‍X: “Without ‌me, ​Trump would have⁤ lost the election. ​This is pure ingratitude.” The billionaire’s companies – including SpaceX (a key government contractor) and Starlink ⁤- received substantial support after Musk contributed $300 million toward Trump’s ⁤2024 campaign and other Republican‍ congressional candidates.

    However,analysts note that‌ terminating SpaceX contracts would prove arduous given its critical role in national space programs. The company’s⁤ Falcon ​9 remains ‌the ‍world’s most frequently launched rocket while starlink has revolutionized satellite communications.

    The escalating conflict could damage Republican chances in upcoming elections. As Reuters reports: “Musk not only provided crucial funding but connected Trump ​to Silicon Valley donors through his vast online platform.”

    The billionaire polled⁢ his 220 ⁤million X followers:⁢ “Is‍ it time for a new political party representing America’s moderate 80%?” This followed musk calling Trump’s‌ spending bill “embarrassing,” with‌ independent analysts estimating it ​could add $5 trillion to national debt.

    Trump claimed Musk opposed the bill due to ⁣eliminated electric vehicle tax credits – while suggesting personal ⁣resentment over leaving government service last week ⁤when both exchanged praise during farewell ceremonies.

    “Kill this terrible bill,” Musk posted on X, adding⁢ he’d accept EV credit reductions if wasteful spending were⁣ cut elsewhere. His efficiency initiatives ultimately trimmed just 0.5% of federal spending despite initial $2 trillion reduction‌ promises – resulting in thousands of job cuts and ​reduced foreign aid that sparked protests and legal challenges.

    A White House official ‍stated afterward: “The President‍ makes clear‌ our policies⁢ owe nothing to Elon Musk… He‌ chose sides with these attacks.”

    The⁢ conflict​ took a darker ⁢turn when Musk alleged (without evidence) that Trump ⁣appeared in sealed Jeffrey Epstein court documents regarding child sex trafficking cases involving politicians and wealthy individuals ⁢- claims vehemently denied by Trump allies ⁤regarding one of America’s most controversial ⁢criminal cases ⁣where many details remain classified.

    Trump added: “We’re⁤ doing things‌ in this⁤ bill that are incredible. When you look at what we’re doing for small businesses, for ‌people, ⁢for​ middle-income ‌individuals-no one has ever seen anything like it.”

    The former president continued: “Elon is upset because we eliminated subsidies for electric vehicles that cost so much for⁢ these electric ‍cars. They have a problem ​wiht it-they⁣ want us to pay billions in subsidies.”

    Referencing Musk’s departure from his⁣ administration, Trump ⁤remarked: “A lot ‌of ‍good ⁤things happen in the Oval Office. Let⁢ me tell you,‍ he isn’t the frist to leave my administration who still likes us. Some of them miss⁢ it ​here‍ so much ‌at some point that some come back around, ⁢while others take a really antagonistic stance.”

    Musk responded by calling ⁤Trump “ungrateful” on ⁤X (formerly ⁣Twitter), claiming credit ​for his election victory: “Without‌ me,⁣ Trump would have lost the‌ election. Democrats would control the⁤ House, and Republicans would be a 49-to-51 minority in the Senate.”
