He gave an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, and he really, really didn't want to talk about politics.

"I'm wondering what your thought is on the ban of foreign students — I mean, you were one of those kids, right?" the reporter asked. "Yeah, I think we want to stick to the subject of the day, which is spaceships, as opposed to presidential policy," Elon replied. "Well, I was told anything was good," the reporter said back. "Well, uh, no," Elon replied.
Soooo, the man who only wants to talk about spaceships couldn't help himself and tweeted out his feelings about Trump's "big beautiful" bill.
For those who don't know, the "Big Beautiful Bill" is basically a huge law that keeps the Trump tax cuts going, raises how much people can deduct for state and local taxes, cuts back on Medicaid and food stamps, increases military/defense spending, gives families (temporarily) a bigger child tax credit, rolls back a bunch of clean energy incentives, and blocks states from making their own AI rules for 10 years. It also adds A LOT to the national debt. Rand Paul said it could increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

The replies are gold.
"I think this officially signals the end of the trump-elon bromance," one person said.
Another person said this "feels like a moment."
And this person welcomed Elon to "the resistance."
We have people saying there's "trouble in paradise."
A bunch of people are saying this is the most Elon has made sense in years.
And a bunch of Democratic politicians are like "Yep."
Let's see what happens next!

7 in 10 say false information online ‘major threat' to US: Survey
The large majority of Americans think that the spread of false information online is a 'major threat' to the U.S., topping terrorism, the state of the global economy and climate change, according to a new survey. The Pew Research Center survey, which was published on Tuesday, found that 70 percent of U.S. adults view the spread of false information online as a 'major threat' to the country. Another 24 percent said it is a 'minor threat,' while 5 percent argued it is not a threat. Many Americans also see terrorism (61 percent), the condition of the global economy (60 percent), climate change (51 percent) and the spread of infectious diseases (50 percent) as major threats to the country, the poll showed. The perception of these threats depends on the respondent's age and personal politics, pollsters found. The majority of self-identified Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents see all five issues as a major threat to the U.S., while Republicans and GOP-leaning voters do not have as much concern about the issues, apart from terrorism, according to the poll. The stark divide is on climate change, where 78 percent of Democrats say it is a major threat to the country, compared to just 24 percent of Republicans. Democrats are more likely to argue that the spread of infectious diseases, false information online and the condition of the economy are major threats to the nation compared to GOP respondents. When it comes to terrorism, Republicans are more likely to say that it is a major threat to the U.S. (69 percent to 53 percent). Americans ages 65 and older are more likely to say that the spread of false information online, infectious diseases and terrorism are major threats to the country, compared to those under the age of 30, according to the survey. The poll was conducted from March 24-30 among 3,605 U.S. adults.

Trump calls Netanyahu a ‘war hero' and adds: ‘I guess I am too'
Israel in mid-June launched waves of airstrikes against Iran, hitting important nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan. It killed much of the country's military chain of command along with several nuclear scientists. Then, on June 22, the United States used large bombs to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Fordo, which is buried under a mountain. A recent U.S. assessment described Fordo as badly damaged, although it is difficult to precisely gauge the extent without access to the site. Advertisement During the interview, Trump also took credit for the return of hostages held in the Gaza Strip who have been freed since his election victory in November. Hamas freed around 30 hostages during a ceasefire that began just before Trump's inauguration in January, and another captive was released in May on the eve of the president's visit to the Middle East. They were among 240 hostages taken during the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that set off the war in Gaza. About 105 hostages were freed during an earlier ceasefire, while Joe Biden was president. Advertisement 'I'm the one that got all the hostages back,' Trump said. The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, Israel's former defense minister, in November 2024, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel has rejected the accusations, and the State Department in June imposed sanctions on four of the court's judges in response to the warrants. Since taking office in January, Trump has frequently taken credit for resolving conflicts including those between Rwanda and Congo, between India and Pakistan, and between Thailand and Cambodia. He also announced the ceasefire between Iran and Israel that ended the nearly two weeks of back-and-forth strikes in June. In the interview with Levin, Trump said: 'I've settled six wars, and we did Iran, and I wiped out their total nuclear capability, which they would have used against Israel in two seconds if they had the chance.' He compared that record favorably with those of his Democratic predecessors. Iran has long said that its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes. Though its ability to enrich uranium, which is needed for a nuclear weapon, was set back significantly by the U.S. and Israeli attacks, some experts believe Iran could eventually resume enrichment at other sites. In response to the interview, Iran's Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the country's Revolutionary Guard, on Wednesday described Trump's remarks on Iran as 'incoherent.'

Hundreds of Thousands of User Chats with AI Chatbot Grok Are Now Public
You might assume that what's said between you and your AI chat stays between you and your AI chat? Unfortunately, that's not necessarily the case. According to a report by Forbes, Elon Musk's AI assistant Grok published more than 370,000 chats on the Grok website. Those URLs, which were not necessarily intended for public consumption by users, were then indexed by search engines and thus entered into the public sphere. And it wasn't just chats. Forbes also reported that uploaded documents such as photos, photos and spreadsheets were also published. Representatives for xAI, which makes Grok, didn't immediately respond to request for comment. It's the latest in a series of troubling reports that should spur chatbot users to be very careful about what they are sharing with AI assistants. Don't just mindlessly gloss over the Terms and Conditions -- be mindful of the privacy settings. Earlier this month, 404 Media reported on a researcher who discovered more than 130,000 chats with AI assistants Claud, Chat GPT and others were readable on When a Grok chat is finished, the user can hit a share button to create a unique URL, allowing the user to share the Grok conversation with others. These URLs were made available to search engines, allowing anyone to read them, the Forbes report said. There is no disclaimer that these chat URLs will be published for the open internet. But the Terms of Service outlined on the Grok website reads: "You grant, an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, and worldwide right to xAI to use, copy, store, modify, distribute, reproduce, publish, display in public forums, list information regarding, make derivative works of, and aggregate your User Content and derivative works thereof for any purpose..."
