Elon Musk is ‘in politics for the long term' after announcing the ‘America Party'
'One person who's not a Trump fan anymore, of course, is Elon Musk,' Mr Macpherson said.
'Elon Musk thought it [the Big Beautiful Bill] would be bad for the economy, so bad, he said he would start his own political party if the bill was passed.
'The day after, it was passed, Elon Musk announced he would start the America Party.
'He's in politics for the long term.'

SpaceX to invest $2 billion in Musk's xAI startup
SpaceX has committed $US2 billion ($A3 billion) to xAI as part of a $US5 billion equity round as Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup races to compete with rival OpenAI, the Wall Street Journal reports. The investment follows xAI's merger with X and values the combined company at $US113 billion ($A172 billion), with the Grok chatbot now powering Starlink support and eyed for future integration into Tesla's Optimus robots, the report said. In response to a post on X about whether Tesla could also invest in xAI, Elon Musk said on Sunday "it would be great, but subject to board and shareholder approval" - without confirming or denying the Journal report on SpaceX's investment plans in xAI. SpaceX, xAI and Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Reuters could not immediately confirm the newspaper report. Despite recent controversies involving Grok's responses, Musk has called it "the smartest AI in the world" and xAI continues to spend heavily on model training and infrastructure.

Trump ‘snubbed' as UK parliament reportedly rejects address during next state visit
Sky News host Caroline Di Russo reflects on French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the United Kingdom, weighing in on reports about US President Donald Trump's expected visit later this year. 'Interestingly, it has been since reported in the UK Telegraph that President Trump will be denied an address to the UK parliament during his next state visit,' Ms Di Russo said. 'They say the trip has deliberately been moved to mid-September, during a parliamentary recess, to give the government an excuse to not give President Trump that honour, an honour given to Barack Obama and, of course, as recently as this week, President Macron. 'Let's see what, if anything, is made of that apparent snub.'

Albanese is ‘pulling' Australia away from US amid China trip
On tonight's episode of Paul Murray Live, Sky News host James Morrow discusses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's trip to China, slamming him as 'desperate'. 'Honestly, the Prime Minister would look less desperate if he was trying to get Cardi B's autograph at the Met Gala,' Mr Morrow said. 'The problem here is that Anthony Albanese believes he can walk this sort of fine line where he has Australia do all sorts of trade with China … while at the same time enjoying the benefits of the American security umbrella. 'We don't have that language anymore, it seems, to stand up and say, actually, China, look, we'll do business with you, we'll trade with you, but you know what, under your current government … we can't trust that government.'
