Musk attributes black eye to playful punch from son X at White House farewell
Elon Musk appeared at a White House press conference on Friday with a visible black eye, which he said was caused by his 5-year-old son, X Æ A-12. The event marked the conclusion of Musk's 130-day tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk explained that the bruise resulted from a playful interaction at home. 'I was horsing around with little X and told him to punch me in the face. He did,' Musk said during the briefing, held alongside President Donald Trump. 'I didn't feel it at the time, but it turned into this.' President Trump responded lightheartedly, saying, 'That was X that did that? If you knew X, he could do it.' The event included a formal farewell for Musk, during which Trump presented him with a symbolic golden key. According to DOGE figures, Musk's efforts led to over USD 175 billion in savings through canceled contracts, asset sales, and fraud reduction—an average of USD 1,087 per taxpayer. Musk said he would continue supporting DOGE in an informal capacity and focus on his private ventures, including Tesla and SpaceX. The press conference came hours after The New York Times published a report alleging Musk's use of controlled substances, including ketamine and psychedelic mushrooms, during his government service. Musk declined to directly address the claims, instead criticizing the publication's past reporting. Musk also dismissed speculation about the source of his injury, joking that he had not been in France, referencing a recent viral video involving French President Emmanuel Macron. Musk said his son was not present at the event and was with his mother, Canadian musician Grimes.

Trump Pressures Canada Over 'Golden Dome' Defense System - Jordan News
Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that Canada would need to pay $61 billion if it wants to join the proposed 'Golden Dome' missile defense system. اضافة اعلان Trump's remarks come after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed interest last week in exploring potential investments in the high-tech defense project, which is estimated to cost $175 billion in total, according to Reuters. The 'Golden Dome' is designed to integrate ground-based interceptor missiles with satellite technology to create a comprehensive shield against advanced hypersonic missile threats. However, the project has drawn sharp criticism from China, Russia, and North Korea, which warn that it represents a dangerous arms race and could destabilize global security by effectively militarizing space. Critics fear that the initiative could trigger further geopolitical tensions, while supporters argue it is essential for defending against emerging threats in an era of rapidly evolving military technology.
