Elon Musk claps back at debate white people don't 'belong' in SA
Elon Musk has hit back at a debate that white people do not 'belong' in South Africa or the African continent. The Pretoria-born billionaire has been vocal about his allegations of 'white genocide' and 'racial discrimination' in his home country. In one of his latest X posts, Elon Musk responded to a clip posted by US political commentator Matt Walsh. In it, Walsh called out critics of white people, particularly those living in South Africa, who have been told to 'go home'. He said: 'White South Africans are not South African, even after 400 years. 'White people are always the colonisers and have no legitimate claim to whatever land they're on….so where is our land? The message is that there is no place on earth that white people can claim as their home.' Elon Musk responded: 'Well said. Enough of this sh*t' Elon Musk continued to post his beliefs about South Africa, which he claims promoted 'racist laws' and a 'white genocide'. He posted: 'There are 140 laws on the books in South Africa that are explicitly racist against anyone who is not black. This is a terrible disgrace to the legacy of the great Nelson Mandela. 'End racism in South Africa now!' In another post, he boldly claimed: 'Anti-white is the new Apartheid'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

MAGA civil war erupts over trad wives as top influencers face appalling allegations
A MAGA civil war has broken out as one of the movement's top female influencers railed against women who want to be a 'trad wife.' The culture clash began as conservative influencer Emily Saves America, real name Emily Wilson, shared a TikTok video calling out 'young girls on the right promoting trad wife bulls***.' A trad wife, short for traditional wife, is a social media term for a woman who embraces a traditional marital role, eschewing a career for being a stay-at-home mom and often sharing nostalgic content online. In her video, Wilson mocked women who 'just want to make sourdough for my husband,' and cautioned them to find a way to make money on their own to avoid being financially 'trapped' in a marriage. 'I suggest you find a hobby that makes you money,' she said, adding that young women hoping to find a man who will give them a 'trad wife' lifestyle have a 'slim to none' chance of finding one. 'You're actually setting yourself up for failure, because it could not be easier, if that's what you're gonna pursue, to be trapped by a man, okay?' she said. The video sparked fury among some hardline MAGA figures, with podcaster Matt Walsh questioning if she belongs in the conservative movement at all. 'A huge number of "conservative influencers" are left-wing feminists who despise the very things that conservatism by definition is supposed to be conserving,' he wrote in a post on X. The video sparked fury among some hardline MAGA influencers, with podcaster Matt Walsh questioning if she belongs in the conservative movement at all Walsh waded into the controversy as he faces scrutiny from some over remarks he made this week on The Tucker Carlson show, where he branded gay couples being able to adopt children an 'abomination.' In a follow-up post, Walsh called out women such as Wilson for riding Donald Trump's coattails, suggesting she doesn't hold values that are conservative enough. 'If you think that stay-at-home moms are stupid and they're allowing themselves to be "trapped by a man," as this woman says, then you are not in any meaningful sense right wing or conservative,' he wrote. 'I don't care if you also like Trump or whatever.' Blogger Tim Pool piled on, adding: 'Liberals like Emily think they are conservative now but they are still liberals or [to be fair] at the very least "moderate."' The issue has created a rift in the growing faction of Republican and right-wing social media figures, as some claim it is a litmus test for women to be a part of the MAGA movement. Raq Is Right, the founder of Make America Hot Again, told that 'the loudest voices pushing the trad wife thing probably just can't afford nannies' Raq Is Right, founder of Make America Hot Again, told that those promoting 'trad wife' nostalgia may be revealing too much. 'The loudest voices pushing the trad wife thing probably just can't afford nannies,' she scathed. 'This whole movement is starting to sound less like a moral stance and more like a budgeting issue. 'Funny how it's always the guys with no job, no plan, and no personality demanding a trad wife. Like sir, you don't need a submissive wife - you need a LinkedIn account.' After Wilson's TikTok video ignited the debate, she took to X to double down on her take. 'By definition you can say I'm a feminist. Is that supposed to be offensive? Slow news day I guess,' she posted. Although she maintained that she 'promotes traditional values,' Wilson was also attacked by commentator Sarah Stock in an X post that gained almost two million views After her TikTok video ignited the debate, Wilson then took to X to double down on her take In her video, Wilson insisted that while she was warning women not to limit themselves, she was not inherently against a woman wanting to be stay-at-home moms. She maintained that she 'promotes traditional values', but was nonetheless attacked by commentator Sarah Stock in an X post that gained almost two million views. She said Wilson's 'message is ridiculous', and said 'being a SAHM (stay-at-home mom) is not being "trapped" by a man.' 'That's feminist BS,' she said.

FCC approves AST SpaceMobile and AT&T to test direct-to-cell connectivity
The telco expects select first responders on FirstNet to trial public-safety-grade satellite communications later this year. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted AST SpaceMobile, in collaboration with AT&T, approval to test direct-to-cellular satellite connectivity over Band 14 spectrum, used exclusively for public safety. The tests will use AST SpaceMobiles BlueBird satellites, enabling select first responders on the FirstNet network to trial satellite-based communications later this year. This initiative aims to bolster FirstNets multi-layered coverage with satellite connectivity tailored to public safety needs. Last year, FirstNet successfully trialled mission-critical features like push-to-talk over satellite, paving the way for expanded capabilities in hard-to-reach areas. Matt Walsh, AVP FirstNet and NextGen 9-1-1 Products, AT&T, said: 'Satellite connectivity on FirstNet is being built with public safetys unique needs in mind. First responders need more than the minimum and we are excited to continue building out our comprehensive network to serve the public safety community.' As the only nationwide broadband network dedicated to public safety, FirstNet serves more first responders than any other network in the US. The satellite-to-cell technology will further extend FirstNets reach into rural, remote and off-grid areas like national parks, where thousands of annual search and rescue missions occur. Public safety agencies have long called for reliable satellite solutions, leading FirstNet to develop a fleet of over 180 satellite-based deployable assets. Agencies have also purchased more than 500 mobile cell sites, enhancing their ability to control their communications infrastructure. FirstNet users with compatible devices already benefit from satellite-enabled features such as peer-to-peer messaging and emergency satellite services.

Colorado bill could strip parents of custody for misgendering their children
A bill in Colorado is making its way through the state legislature that would create legal grounds for the state to revoke custody of parents who misgender their children. The bill is called the Kelly Loving Act, named after a 40-year-old transgender man killed in the Club Q mass shooting in 2022. Its text states that 'deadnaming, misgendering or threatening to publish material related to an individual's gender-affirming health-care services' will be deemed 'coercive control' and will influence the court 'when making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time.' If a child's parents are split between Colorado and another state, the bill adds that Colorado courts shall not enforce the other state's laws if they attempt to take the child away from the parent who is providing the child with 'gender-affirming care.' In short, if parents call their child by the wrong name or fail to use their preferred pronouns, they could be liable to lose custody. Canada pioneered this type of legislation before the U.S., and one notable case resulted in a father's six-month prison sentence and a $30,000 fine for misgendering his teenage daughter, as reported by the National Post. The man, who chose to remain anonymous, discussed his situation with political podcaster Matt Walsh in 2022. 'It's considered criminal violence to not use the preferred pronouns,' the man explained. 'It's no different, let's say, than if I were to take a broomstick and whack one of my kids over the head. So they were treating it in a similar fashion that misgendering, mispronouning my child was the equivalent of family violence.' More recently in 2024, California passed Assembly Bill 1955, prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require teachers or administrators to tell anyone, including parents, when a student changes their gender identity. The president of the California Family Council, Jonathan Keller, called the new law 'a direct assault on the safety of children and the rights of their parents.' 'By allowing schools to withhold vital information from mothers and fathers, this bill undermines their fundamental role and places boys and girls in potential jeopardy,' he stated. On April 2, Colorado's Kelly Loving Act passed out of the state's House Judiciary Committee, with the vote falling along party lines, 7-4. On Sunday, the bill passed in the state House and is headed to the Colorado Senate. Currently, Democrats hold a 23-12 majority, and if it clears it will move to be signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis. Colin Wright, the academic adviser for the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine, believes Polis is likely to sign the legislation into law based on previous bills he's pushed through. In 2019, Polis signed HB19-1039, which simplified the process to update the gender marker on birth certificates without requiring surgical transition, a court order or a doctor's note. The same year, Polis also signed HB19-1129, which prohibited state-licensed mental health care providers from engaging in conversion therapy practices with minors. Conversion therapy aims to change a person's orientation or gender identity from gay or transgender to straight or cisgender. The British Department of Equality, Rights and Citizenship defined conversion therapy as 'any efforts to change, modify or suppress a person's sexual orientation or gender identity regardless of whether it takes place in a health care, religious or other setting.'
