Michael Cohen believes Trump will go after Musk's money
Michael Cohen, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, believes the president will turn on his friend Elon Musk due to jealousy over his wealth. Cohen made the remarks to MSNBC, adding he's long suspected the pair's 'bromance was going to come to an end.' Speaking to a network panel on Sunday, Cohen said: 'Trump will ultimately go after Elon's money next, because it bothers him that he is the richest man in the world.' Trump's net worth is currently at $5.1bn, while Musk is worth $417bn, according to Forbes. 'Yes, he used him for his money. Now he's going to go and he's going to figure out how Elon, with his companies, took advantage of the United States of America,' Cohen said. Cohen told panelists Trump could attempt to use the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was spearheaded by Musk, against the Tesla CEO. 'They're going to turn around, use DOGE to go, 'right, government efficiency, fraud, waste and abuse. How is it that he got $7,000 as a credit for every Tesla vehicle that was sold? That's where his billions were made. Why should the United States pay for electric vehicles? Pay your own car if that's what you want.' So they're going to claw it back,' Cohen continued. Tesla and SpaceX, another company founded by Musk, have long benefited from government contracts. In February, Musk tweeted he loves Trump 'as much as a straight man can love another man.' Earlier this year, The Washington Post reported Musk's companies have received over $38bn in contracts, loans, subsidies and other forms of government aid. Additionally, a government electric vehicle tax credit has helped Musk make a fortune, Cohen said. 'He's going to do to Elon Musk, my prediction, what Mohammed bin Salman did to the other members of the royal family,' added Cohen, referencing how the Saudi crown prince was accused of going after the wealth of his relatives. Musk donated $288m to help elect Trump in 2024 and was seen a handful of times on the campaign trail. His association with the administration has led to some consumers boycotting Tesla, causing the company to lose more than half its value since December 17. Tesla quickly recovered after Musk announced he'd be taking a step back from his role as a special government employee. Last week, Musk said he was 'disappointed' by the president's tax and spending bill. In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple federal crimes and later spent three years in prison. He was convicted of campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress, stemming from hush money payments made to silence Stormy Daniels, a woman who claimed she had an affair with the president. Cohen was released after about a year and completed his sentence in home confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The man said he and his girlfriend reunited a year ago after being on a break, but a month after they got back together, he discovered that she was texting a guy on Discord, who was sending her "selfies and memes." "Now she has an over 320-day Snapchat streak with this guy and sends him pictures of her dog," he wrote. The man added that the text message exchanges made him 'uncomfortable.' After learning about the text messages, the man said he addressed the situation with his girlfriend, and she offered to block the other guy. 'I said I wouldn't force her, but imagine if it was the other way around, and she agreed she wouldn't like that,' he wrote. Still, the man said his girlfriend has not cut off contact with the other guy. He admitted that he has since 'been a little quieter and showed my displeasure in subtle ways," and his girlfriend now "thinks I'm being cold and distant for no reason.'

Travis Kelce's Ex Kayla Nicole Raises Eyebrows as She Admits It's 'Really Beautiful' to Think Your Ex's New Girlfriend is 'Hot'
Kayla Nicole dished out advice on her podcast, The Pre Game, to a caller who asked about getting over an ex-boyfriend who has a new girlfriend The sports broadcaster, who dated Travis Kelce on and off for five years until 2022, explained why it's "beautiful" the caller thinks her new ex's girlfriend is "hot" Nicole shared an update on her relationship status, including what "season of life" she's in romanticallyKayla Nicole is moving on. The media personality, 33, opened up about how to come to terms with an ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend during a recent episode of her Pre Game podcast, and dished out advice on how to cope with jealousy in the wake of a breakup. Nicole, who notably dated Travis Kelce, 35, on and off for five years until splitting in 2022, helped out a "hotline" caller who dialed into the podcast's new advice segment to ask about getting over her ex-boyfriend who's now dating "a bad b----" and she's "jealous." The sports broadcaster began by telling the 22-year-old caller that she remembers feeling "the exact same way" that she did at her age, suggesting that she still gives herself "the space and the time" to heal, despite their breakup being three years ago. After dishing out several other tidbits of advice, Nicole then praised the caller for uplifting her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. "I want to say that it's really beautiful that you have the capacity to acknowledge that his new girl is hot," she told the caller during the episode released on Friday, May 30. "And I think as a woman, something that we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping. She might be the s---. She might be really hot," she continued, adding, "And there's no problem in admitting that." Nicole compared the instance to sports and used an analogy to back up her point. "Say you play basketball and you're in the playoffs and you lose in the second round, and the team that you lose to goes on to win the championship. All I'm saying is, if I'm gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now," she explained. "I want you to move on and go do your big one." "Make me look good," she emphasized. "It's so much worse if the guy that you loved and you dated for so long and you're so heartbroken over goes and starts [dating] a dud. Now you look stupid, he looks stupid, we all look stupid. Everybody's questioning your taste." "So kudos to you for acknowledging she's hot," Nicole concluded. "Give her her flowers. And the reality is them over there, whatever they're doing is their business. They deserve love as much as you do." Nicole then went on to share an update on her own relationship status. While she said she gave out her number "to a few folks" recently, she made clear that she's prioritizing her own well-being first. "That's really what the season of life that I'm in right now, too, is doing the work so that I can attract what it is that I desire," she explained. "So I'm going to love me in all the ways so that I can teach others how to love me." Opening up about her past relationship with Kelce isn't something new for Nicole, who's been open about the hardships she's faced in the wake of their split since he's gone on to date Taylor Swift. In May, she slammed people who continuously refer to her as his "ex." "You sit down and you do an hour-long interview with someone and the headline is maybe a one sentence that you said of, 'Yeah, I was heartbroken and devastated because I went through a breakup' and that's the headline," she said on the Second Wind podcast. "Like, 'So-and-so's ex is devastated still and she's sad and she's depressed," Nicole continued. "It's like, 'D---, girl, did you listen to anything?' I am human, and I take it with a grain of salt now. One day they're going to have to stop calling me someone's ex." Read the original article on People

Man criticised after admitting he can't stop fantasising about his girlfriend's twin sister
A man has been criticised online after admitting that he has started to fantasise about his girlfriend's identical twin. The anonymous man, who is believed to be US-based, took to social media to ask people for their opinions on his predicament. In his post, he revealed that he has been dating his girlfriend for over a year, and is 'super happy'. He described their relationship as the best he has ever been in. However, he admitted, he has found himself starting to fantasise about her identical twin. This happens at different times, he wrote, saying 'sometimes it happens during sex, sometimes when i'm alone by myself'. The man wrote: 'Recently the twin was out of divorce and found herself a new boyfriend that me and my girlfriend dislike. We feel he's just not good enough for the sister and she deserves better. It almost instills a sense of jealousy in me, as she spends all her waking moments hanging out with this guy then spending time with us. 'At times I find myself with the thinking of her having sex with her new boyfriend and it makes me angry/sick to my stomach. Sometimes I can become obsessed with this scenario and it just keeps repeating in my head over and over; Making me feel sick and upset. 'I feel guilt about it but I can't seem to get the thought out of my head. We met them in person the other day and I saw the boyfriend with his hands all over the twin and it made me so mad. But of course I didn't show it. 'Any advice? Am I just crazy? I know these are just feelings and I would never act on them to ruin my current relationship. I love my girlfriend very deeply, but I also care very much about the twin and want her to be happy. 'I just find that these feelings of attraction/jealousy come out of nowhere and seem to be more frequent ever since she met this new boyfriend.' The majority of respondents chided the poster, telling him that he needed to 'get over' the feelings he has for his girlfriend's sister. One said: 'I feel sorry for your girlfriend. She deserves better, you sound like you don't really love her. Tell her and let her make her decision to stay or leave. And get away from the twin for good.' They added: 'Distance is the only thing that will work. Remind yourself why you're with your girlfriend, why she's your girlfriend. That you need to get rid of these feelings, because if you don't you'll lose the most important woman in your life. The fear of losing someone you love will make anything else feel unimportant. Eventually.' Meanwhile, another wrote: 'You need to take a break from spending time with the twin sister. If you marry your girlfriend the line could get blurry. Set boundaries now and get over your crush/sexual fantasy. Also there is bo world in which this would work out.' In a similar vein, a further Reddit user said: 'Honestly it sounds like you need to try and spend less time with the twin because you're too involved to be able to make sense of everything. Your attraction does make sense considering she's identical to your partner and similar in personality, but she's also her own person and she is allowed to date whoever she likes and it's not your place to get involved other than to give your opinion on him if she asks. They continued: 'I would find a way to tell your girlfriend about this in a way that won't make her uncomfortable. Maybe just say that you're feeling to involved in her sisters life and overprotective because of how similar she is to your girlfriend and it's making you uncomfortable. You don't need to mention the jealousy but you do need to tell your girlfriend about it in some way because you need her support to get some space.' 'Well I would work on having less of these feelings it's gonna damage the relationship if it gets worse whether you realize it or not,' said another Redditor. 'Girls can smell that stuff and also twin sisters r just on a different level almost psychic.' However, another respondent was more sympathetic, and agreed that it must be an odd situation to be in. They wrote: 'I'm not going to say it's okay or normal or try to justify it, but I could see how dating an identical twin would be even weirder? Harder? Idk the word I'm looking for, but a girl having an attractive sibling is one thing, an identical twin with almost the same personality? That's a whole different ball park than most situations.' Responding to the comments telling him he needed to put some distance between him and the sister, the poster said: 'This makes the most sense to me. It's going to be hard, as I do very much enjoy hanging out with her and spending time. But I feel that when I do; the feelings come back, I sometimes tell her she looks pretty (sometimes unconsciously) and it just gets weird sometimes. I don't think she picks up on it. I'm gonna put some distance between us until these feelings die down.'
