‘My Jeans Are Yellow': Influencer Mimics Sydney Sweeney Ad Days After Refusing Musk's Baby Offer
Last Updated: Influencer Tiffany Fong recreated Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a yellow denim outfit. She clarified her video focused on jeans, not genes. Donning a head-to-toe yellow denim ensemble, influencer Tiffany Fong dropped a video recreating Sydney Sweeney and the controversial American Eagle ad. 'Handed down by my parents before me and their parents before them, my genes are yellow," Influencer Tiffany Fong drops a 'my jeans are yellow' video amid Sydney Sweeney controversy. Tiffany Fong said as she ate rice with chopsticks, calling it the Asian version of the American Eagle ad. There is no wordplay with genes and jeans here, as Tiffany Fong meant only jeans and not genes, unlike the American Eagle advertisement that is at the center of a major controversy. Tiffany Fong, a cryptocurrency influencer, gained attention after reportedly she denied to bear Tesla CEO Elon Musk's baby. Fong had created a social media buzz last year after Elon Musk started to follow her on X, days after he started liking and commenting on her posts. This sent a wave of followers to Fong's account, with Musk himself having a massive 219 million X followers. Musk's following opened a financial floodgate for Fong, who gained followers and reach, which resulted in more earnings for her as part of a revenue-sharing program for creators on X. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Submarines fitted with lasers, custom-built attack satellites and ...: Strategies Chinese government, military scientists are developing to counter Elon Musk' Starlink
Chinese researchers are actively working on strategies to neutralize Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network, which they perceive as a significant threat to the country's national security. According to a report by Associated Press (AP), Chinese government and military scientists, concerned about Starlink's potential use by adversaries in a military confrontation and for spying, have published dozens of papers in public journals that explore ways to hunt and destroy Musk's satellites, an Associated Press review found. This reportedly includes Stealth submarines fitted with space-shooting lasers, supply-chain sabotage and custom-built attack satellites armed with ion thrusters. The satellite constellation's ability to provide fast, affordable internet access globally, even in remote areas, is seen as a risk due to SpaceX's ties to U.S. intelligence and defense agencies. 'As the United States integrates Starlink technology into military space assets to gain a strategic advantage over its adversaries, other countries increasingly perceive Starlink as a security threat in nuclear, space, and cyber domains,' stated professors from China's National University of Defense Technology in a 2023 paper. Proposed countermeasures include stealth submarines equipped with lasers capable of targeting satellites, supply-chain sabotage, and custom attack satellites with ion thrusters. Researchers have also suggested deploying small optical telescopes to monitor Starlink, using deep fakes to create false targets, and firing powerful lasers to damage the satellites. Starlink's dominance, with over 8,000 active satellites accounting for roughly two-thirds of all active satellites, has raised concerns globally, not just in China. According to Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, SpaceX aims to deploy tens of thousands more satellites. The network's critical role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, where it supported Ukrainian battlefield communications, highlighted its strategic importance and the risks of relying on a single private company led by Musk, whose political engagements, including support for controversial figures, have sparked unease.

These efforts aim to compete with Starlink both domestically and in markets like Africa and Asia. The AP review noted that Chinese researchers have analyzed Starlink's coverage over key areas like Beijing and Taiwan, concluding in a 2023 National Defense University paper that 'the Starlink constellation coverage capacity of all regions in the world is improving steadily and in high speed.' Another study by the China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team pointed to vulnerabilities in Starlink's supply chain, noting 'the company has more than 140 first-tier suppliers and a large number of second-tier and third-tier suppliers downstream,' with limited cybersecurity oversight.

Elon Musk's Starlink Axed In Canada's Ontario Amid Trump's Tariff War Firstpost America
Elon Musk's Starlink Axed In Canada's Ontario Amid Trump's Tariff War | Firstpost America | N18G US-Canada trade tensions: The Canadian province of Ontario canceled a $68.12 million satellite high-speed internet contract with Elon Musk's company Starlink, following through with a vow by the province's premier, Doug Ford, to cut ties in retaliation for US tariffs imposed on Canada. Ontario's threat to block American goods first emerged after President Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and proposed a 35 per cent duty on exports. Despite urgent rural internet needs, Musk's project became collateral damage in the trade dispute. Musk, once an ally of Trump and a key figure in his administration, saw their alliance crumble over policy disagreements. As Canada and the US scramble to finalise a trade deal before the August 1 deadline, Prime Minister Mark Carney warns talks are complex and may not conclude in time. See More
