Jon Ralston, editor of The Nevada Independent, posted a photo of the advertisement in the Thursday edition of the Adelson-owned Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Here’s how much Sheldon Adelson pays under Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax in the first year: $2,300,000,000,” the ad reads, noting that this would be less than 6 percent of the casino mogul’s fortune. “I think that’s called chutzpah,” Ralston quipped in his tweet sharing the ad....

Warren, the candidate who has made the greatest gains in recent polls, moved $10.4 million in unused funds from her 2018 Senate race to her presidential bid.

Though there is no way to distinguish what amount of the transferred amount was from sizable donations, but just five other candidates had raised more than $10....

After he was named Time magazine’s person of the year this week, the Massachusetts lawmaker expressed her disdain for the Tesla founder, tweeting that the “rigged tax code” should be changed so that Musk “will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else.” Not one to take an insult lying down, Musk hit back by tweeting “you remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason....

Warren’s comprehensive and detailed economic platform includes plans to raise taxes on the wealthiest households, break up the banks, tighten Wall Street regulation, and increase federal spending by trillions on health care, higher education, and clean energy, among other areas. But critics of the Massachusetts senator, who is a former Harvard law professor specializing in bankruptcy, argue that her proposals would harm the American economy by curbing investment, send the markets tumbling, and even bring about a recession....

“Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the ‘keep out zone,’ which is unreasonably gigantic,” Musk tweeted Tuesday afternoon. “There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken.” SpaceX was prepared to launch the Transporter 2 mission just before 3 p.m. ET at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It would have marked the second dedicated rideshare mission organized by the company after it launched its first batch of ten Starlink satellites in January 2021....

On Monday, users rushed to post a 2014 photo of Musk and Maxwell, who was convicted on charges tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring last year, poking fun at Musk and suggesting that Twitter’s new owner would soon ban the image from the platform. “Post this image while you still can” and “Post this f**kin photo as much as you can,” users wrote alongside the picture.

The billionaire behind rocket company SpaceX and electric car giant Tesla has fueled headlines in recent weeks following some well-publicized tweets about cryptocurrency, specifically bitcoin and dogecoin—and many assumed there was a link.

One Twitter user claimed on Tuesday: “Elon wrote Excession on his page today as the price of coins dropped to bring them back up....

The tunnels were built by billionaire Musk’s The Boring Company and use Tesla vehicles to transport riders in a single lane underground. Although Musk began his tunnel-digging endeavor as a proposed solution to gridlock, viral video of the traffic jam forming during this week’s 2022 CES consumer electronics trade show quickly prompted mockery by demonstrating that the system is far from immune to the issue. “The Vegas Loop can’t even deal with #CES2022 during a pandemic,” tech blogger Sascha Pallenberg tweeted on Thursday....

In the second day of testimony, Musk went up against the plaintiff’s attorney, Randall Baron, who gave Musk the third degree regarding his role in facilitating the SolarCity agreement. “Your questions,” the billionaire CEO complained from the witness stand, “are so deceptive.” Baron and Musk also butted heads over the meaning of the word cabal, which Baron used to describe the Tesla team that provided daily updates in July 2016 about the SolarCity deal....

“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” the billionaire posted to Twitter on Sunday. He later said in a reply that the proof “must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.” This tweet comes in response to U.N.

Over the past 20 years, the man has become invisible behind the kitsch iconography. And his music, some of the freshest on the planet, is so familiar it’s hard to hear. Luckily, we’ve got the new four-CD ““Platinum: A Life in Music,’’ with alternate takes to shake up our synapses; next year we’ll have the final volume of Peter (““Last Train to Memphis’’) Guralnick’s biography; his project has been to ““rescue Elvis Presley from the dreary bondage of myth, from the oppressive aftershock of cultural significance....

It died during the night, MARS said in a statement posted to Facebook.
