Trump says his relationship with Musk is over, slamming the door on the once-staunch ally who tried to de-escalate their feud
The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk appears to have caused irreparable damage as the president told NBC News that he has no desire to repair their relationship and assumes it is over. The comments came after Musk appeared to make attempts at de-escalating a feud that exploded in public on Thursday over Trump's budget bill. President Donald Trump is seemingly done with Tesla CEO Elon Musk after they engaged in a feud on Thursday that unfolded publicly and escalated stunningly. In an interview with NBC News on Saturday, Trump was asked if he has any desire to mend his relationship with Musk, and the president replied 'no.' And when asked if he thinks his relationship with Musk is over, Trump said, 'I would assume so, yeah.' He added that he has 'no intention of speaking' to Musk anytime soon, saying 'I'm too busy doing other things' and accusing Musk of disrespecting the presidency. 'I think it's a very bad thing, because he's very disrespectful. You could not disrespect the office of the President,' Trump said. The comments came after Musk, who once embraced the moniker 'first buddy' to Trump, appeared to make attempts at de-escalating their feud. On Saturday, he deleted his X posts about Trump's association with the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. On Thursday night, Musk replied to a post from Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman calling for peace between the tech billionaire and Trump, saying 'You're not wrong.' Also on Thursday, Musk backtracked on a threat to decommission SpaceX Dragon vehicles, which have become workhorse capsules that the Pentagon and NASA rely on to access Earth orbit. But the damage was already done. Musk had suggested Trump should be impeached, took credit for Trump's election victory, and said his tariffs would cause a recession later this year. That's after trashing Trump's tax and spending bill in the days leading up to their meltdown. Trump's signal that Musk is now persona non grata dashes hopes from top Republicans like Vice President JD Vance and House Speakers Mike Johnson who said they hoped the two men would reconcile. Meanwhile, Trump also warned Musk—who was the top GOP donor last year with nearly $300 million in campaign contributions—against backing Democrats. 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,' Trump told NBC News, without elaborating. 'He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that.' For his part, Musk asked X users on Thursday if it's time to form a new political party 'that actually represents the 80% in the middle,' drawing support from 80% of respondents. Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. This story was originally featured on

‘Slapped': Gymoger fumes over man's disgusting act
A woman has taken to social media to vent about a disgusting encounter she had with a man at a gym that left her seething. Kayla Nicole, who dated NFL star Travis Kelce for around five years before they parted ways in 2022, is known for her health and wellness content and often shares her workouts online. However, over the weekend, she used Instagram to express her frustration about the 'disrespectful' incident. Writing on her stories over a photo of herself in workout gear at the gym, the 33-year-old sports journalist didn't mince her words. ''Blowing your blueberry eggs and ham vape smoke in my face in the gym while trying to ask if I'm done with the smith machine will get you slapped,' the fitness enthusiast said. 'The f**k is wrong with y'all?' she added, clearly fuming. In a follow-up post, she shared a clip of the offending vaping device on the gym floor and wrote, 'I want to step on it'. She didn't reveal the identity of the gymgoer or the specific gym where this interaction happened. Commenters shocked by 'low class' act 'I'm surprised one can vape anywhere,' said one commenter online. 'Vaping in a gym is very low class,' another added. 'The gym should have that member scolded the first time and kicked out the second time,' wrote a third. Vaping is not universally illegal in the US, but it is regulated by local laws. Many states have comprehensive smoke-free indoor laws that include vapes, prohibiting them in the same locations where smoking is banned. Australian vaping laws Vaping is not outright illegal in Australia either, but there are strict regulations in place. On July 1, 2024, the law changed so that all vapes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine or not, can only be sold in a pharmacy for the purpose of helping people quit smoking or manage nicotine dependence. It is generally illegal to vape in places where tobacco smoking is banned too, but this can differ by state or territory. The government's reforms to vaping regulation are based on expert advice that they are a harm to public health. What are vapes and why are they harmful? Vapes, also known as e-cigarettes, are battery-operated devices that deliver an aerosol by heating a liquid that users breathe in. They can contain a range of chemicals, flavours, and nicotine. Even when vapes don't contain nicotine, they're still dangerous, according to the Department of Health. The various substances in the liquids can include several known cancer-causing agents such as formaldehyde, acetone, and acrolein (commonly found in weedkiller). Known health risks associated with vaping include irritation of the mouth and airways, persistent coughing, nausea and vomiting, and potential poisoning or seizures from inhaling excessive nicotine or ingesting e-liquid. Some chemicals in e-cigarette aerosols may also cause DNA damage. Many scientists are also worried that vaping could heighten the risk of lung disease, heart disease, and cancer. The effects of vaping on fitness The irony of the man in Nicole's posts vaping in the gym is that vaping impacts your physical fitness, including your endurance and workout performance. If you smoke or vape, you receive less oxygen in your heart, lungs, and muscles, which reduces your physical fitness level, as per Cleveland Clinic. Other side effects on your fitness may include increased rates of injury, less muscular strength, sleep disturbances, and shortness of breath.

My boyfriend shamed me as a ‘w****' for having laser hair removal – he thinks I did it to ‘show off' but he's so wrong
A MAN has come under fire after brutally dubbing his girlfriend a ''w****'' for having laser hair removal. The outraged girlfriend took to Reddit where she explained that her partner had an issue with her ''hairless'' body, which he reckons she only wants to ''show off''. 3 3 3 According to the anonymous social media user, 18, the 20-year-old fella - whom she's been dating for three months - recently sent her a rather bizarre text message. The shocking text exchange sees the boyfriend asking how his girlfriend is always ''so hairless'' - to which she replied and explained that she did laser hair removal for nearly two years. She also added that while getting it done everywhere apart from her face was ''a lot'', it's been totally ''worth it'' - something the man deemed ''wild''. Despite the teenager adding it was ''convenient'', the partner didn't stop there, insisting that having a hair-free body was ''some w**** behaviour''. ''You don't spend that much money and time lasering everywhere unless you plan on showing it off,'' he said, the horrified woman shared the screenshots of their shocking texts on the forum. Baffled, she replied: ''It makes me a w**** because I got my hair removed?'' While the young boyfriend said he was ''just being honest'', the girlfriend dubbed his words and opinion ''disrespectful''. Not sure how to move forward with the bizarre events, she sought advice on Reddit. ''I told him honestly that I did full body laser hair removal for nearly two years. ''I got this done when I was 15 to 17. He got weird and literally called me a 'w****' for it. Skinny dipping, body counts & menace girl summer: it's de-cuffing season | Date. Delete. Repeat. ''I was shocked and I'm not sure how to feel or if I should be hearing him out on this? ''Was I overreacting? It felt really disrespectful.'' 'That was a terrible response from him. Abusive actually' The Reddit post has since taken the popular platform by storm, leaving many just as gobsmacked as the poor woman. Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. As many urged the young woman to put an end to the relationship, one said: ''So got hair removal…,BFORE YOU MET HIM, but You are disrespectful? ''FFS, ditch this loser. He's a full blown CREEP! Gross!'' Another was just as baffled, writing: ''Where the f**k yall finding these people. ''No like seriously, where the f**k are yall finding these people?'' Some also warned the teenager of what's to potentially come if he's already showing signs of overreacting. ''If you stay with him…expect much more of this. A new outfit? 'Who you wearing that for?' A haircut? 'Why you trying so hard?''' ''He called you a w****. He called you a w****. He called you a w****,'' someone else reminded. ''You are not overreacting. That was a terrible response from him. Abusive actually,'' another reader said.

Prince Harry's always been disrespectful, I know all about his underlying issues
PRINCE Harry has been criticised for having a history of being 'disrespectful', according to royal experts. The Duke of Sussex sent shockwaves through the royal family doing a bombshell 30-minute tirade on BBC following his legal defeat surrounding his security. 8 8 8 This followed his critical memoir Spare and his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey after he and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2020. However, royal author Robert Jobson claims Prince Harry, 40, has always had 'an edge'. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: 'He was quite chippy… to a degree. I think he always had an edge.' Legendary Sun photographer Arthurs Edwards disagreed, saying: 'When we were on the road with Harry, we never got that feeling that he hated the press then. He was very cooperative with the press.' However, Robert retorted: 'Well, he did certain things, didn't he? I mean, there were things I remember he did with you that you didn't particularly like. 'He was quite disrespectful at times, I think.' The royal author then pointed out the moment Prince Harry cheekily put a hand print of purple paint on the renowned photographer's forehead during a visit to a youth centre in Auckland in 2015. Robert added: 'I remember that time he put his hand in paint on your head.' Clearly unphased by the incident, Arthur defended Harry saying: 'Yeah, but that was because I'd gone on television that morning and said he was going bald. 'He was having a bit of a come back. That was fun. Harry BLAMES royals for court defeat, says it's their fault if anything happens to him but STILL wants reconciliation 'When we washed up together, we laughed about it.' Robert insisted: 'I don't know. I think he always had an issue. I think he always had an issue.' The Duke of Sussex received a wave of criticism following his BBC interview, which followed a lengthy three-year row over his security. 8 8 8 8 His round-the-clock security was axed when Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. This month he suffered yet another humiliating defeat as he fought to get it back. Harry insisted he is a victim of an establishment stitch-up and said he 'can't see a world' in which he would bring his wife and kids here. The royal claimed he did not want his father to intervene in the security row, adding: 'I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs. 8 'He claimed there had been 'interference' by the Royal Household in the 2020 decision, which he said resulted in his status as the most at-risk royal being downgraded to the least at risk 'overnight'. Despite Harry's claims, it is understood the Royal Household's role and power on the committee is minimal — and rests solely working around family members' diaries. A Palace spokesman said of the long-running security battle: 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.' Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals? PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond. Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair's royal correspondent, told The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that Megxit did not come as a surprise to her. Speaking to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: "Anyone who knows Harry is aware he's always wanted a way out of the Royal Family. "He's said multiple times on the record that he wished he'd never been born a prince. "I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It's very, very sad that it's played out the way it has.' In a statement made on the Sussexes' Instagram account as they stepped back in 2020, the pair wrote: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. "It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. "This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.'
