Erratic Elon Musk Waves Chainsaw Around While Ranting About Memes and Fort Knox
Elon Musk's erratic behavior quickly became the story of the night Thursday during his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He took the stage while decked out in sunglasses, a gold chain and a T-shirt underneath his blazer that read: 'I'm not procrastinating I'm doing side quests'—just moments before Argentinian President Javier Milei popped out from backstage to gift the billionaire a bedazzled chain saw, an apparent reference to Musk's recent efforts to downsize the U.S. federal government. 'I am become meme,' he declared at one point. 'My mind is a storm,' he added. During the live interview with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, Musk also struggled at times to form coherent sentences, sparking concern for his well-being online. The sentiments were especially pronounced on X, the social media site Musk owns, where 'Ketamine' began trending just minutes into the Tesla CEO's appearance. Musk has been public about his use of the drug in the past. 'Grimes' was also at the top of the site's trending list—a reference to his ex-girlfriend's simultaneous public plea Thursday to contact her about an urgent health emergency affecting one of their children. The bulk of the billionaire's meandering interview with Schmitt focused on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the advisory panel helmed by Musk that President Donald Trump has empowered to make sweeping and at times chaotic cuts across the federal government. Musk stressed the importance of cutting costs in D.C. and in one notable exchange criticized Social Security for what he claims are widespread fraudulent payments. In between the DOGE fodder, however, Musk went on a slew of tangents, including the state of comedy. At one point, he claimed 'the left wanted to make comedy illegal.' 'Comedy sucks! Nothing's funny, you can't make fun of anything,' Musk said, imitating people's supposed frustrations with the industry. 'It's like, legalize comedy!' He also seemed to suggest that Fort Knox's gold depository was not real, seemingly piggybacking off comments made by Trump Wednesday when he said he wanted to visit the world-famous military base to 'make sure the gold is there.' Musk reiterated the bizarre sentiment, saying, 'We just wanna see it and make sure somebody didn't spray paint lead or something.' Elsewhere in the interview, Schmitt probed Musk on what it feels like to be newly 'vilified' by the media, to which the Tesla CEO replied: 'When they're chanting for my death I suppose that's a little…you know.' 'And then like the songs aren't even that good,' he jested. 'It's like, you call that a death chant? It's nothing please.' The interview also dove into what goes on in the mind of the world's richest man. 'I am become meme,' Musk said of himself. 'I'm living the meme. There's living the dream and there's living the meme and it's pretty much what's happening.' 'My mind is a storm,' he added.

Milton Grimes, LA attorney who represented Rodney King, gets prison time for tax evasion
Milton C. Grimes, a longtime Los Angeles attorney, was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $7 million in restitution for a case of tax evasion spanning more than two decades. Between 2002 through 2023, Grimes did not pay federal income taxes for 23 of those years — evading $5,921,260 in taxes, penalties and interest owed to the IRS — and he has admitted to owing more than $1,313,231 in delinquent state taxes to the Franchise Tax Board, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. The lawyer has been at the center of a number of high-profile cases over his decades-long career. He represented Rodney King in his 1991 lawsuit against the city, Bloomberg reports, a case that drew national headlines when the LA Riots broke out in April 1992 after a jury acquitted four officers in King's beating. Grimes pleaded guilty in October to one count of tax evasion after being indicted by a federal grand jury in March of last year. "Despite being a respected attorney, Mr. Grimes also made the deliberate decision to cheat on his taxes for decades, evading the payment of millions of dollars in tax that all citizens are required to pay," Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Joseph T. McNally said in a statement Tuesday. Federal prosecutors said the IRS began trying to collect Grimes' unpaid taxes in September 2011 by issuing more than 30 levies on his personal bank accounts. However, according to prosecutors, he continued to evade payment of those taxes by not depositing his income into the bank accounts which were subject to levy. "Instead, Grimes purchased approximately 238 cashier's checks totaling $16 million to keep the money out of the reach of the IRS," reads the statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office. "Grimes would routinely purchase cashier's checks and withdraw cash from his client trust account, his Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts (IOLTA), and his law firm's bank account, rather than pay the IRS." Currently, the State Bar of California reports Grimes' license to practice remains active, but a consumer alert has been issued stating he has been charged with a felony.

Swansea eyeing a number of signings before deadline
Swansea City are aiming to complete a number of deals before Monday's transfer deadline as they bid to bolster Luke Williams' squad for the remainder of the Championship are targeting the Premier League loan market as they chase at least one midfielder to replace Coventry City-bound Matt Championship club are also in the market for a wide player and an attacking midfielder, as has been the case throughout the January are close to finalising a move for Melker Widell, though the Swedish Under-21 international will return to current club AaB Aalborg on loan for the rest of the Danish top-flight campaign as part of that says he hopes Harry Darling will remain at the Stadium until the summer, at least, despite speculation linking the centre-back with Sheffield United. Swansea would be left reeling should another of their key players depart having seen club skipper Grimes tempted away by Sky Blues move came as a surprise to Swansea who, as a result, believe the loan market is their only option to replace Grimes during this are looking at options in the top flight, with the removal of Grimes' salary from the wage bill – he was Swansea's top earner – meaning they have the option of moving for a more established Premier League player rather than an inexperienced youngster. It may be that Swansea look to sign for two central midfielders on loan, such was Grimes' influence – and contribution in terms of playing minutes – under urgent need to fill the gap means Swansea look set for a hectic end to the transfer window, given that they were already in the market for two players – either on permanent or loan deals - as well as Widell."I can't give you names at the moment but we are looking at players in several positions," Williams said ahead of Saturday's Championship meeting with Coventry."Obviously there's a new drive now because it was quite a quick transaction [for Grimes], so we have had to react sharply to try to find out what's out there that could come in and help us in that department."It's challenging, of course it's challenging because it's a very competitive market place, but we are doing everything we can. We want to try to raise the bar and bring in talented players who can push the level."Swansea have been linked with a string of players this month, but their only signing so far is Hannes Delcroix, the central defender who arrived on loan from Burnley last week. Grimes will join fellow midfielder Azeem Abdulai, defender Nelson Abbey – who was recalled from his loan spell by Olympiakos - and goalkeepers Andy Fisher and Nathan Broome in leaving the club this is relatively confident Darling will not join the list of mid-season departures even though Swansea face losing him for nothing when his contract expires in the who has so far declined to sign the new deal on offer, has been linked with a move to the Blades, while he is also understood to be a long-term target for Bristol City and Birmingham City."A player of Harry's quality, of course there's going to be speculation all the time," Williams said."But to my knowledge there's been no contact from anyone so as far as I'm concerned, Harry stays with us until at least the end of the season."
