Former White House chief strategist and MAGA stalwart Steve Bannon leaned into his tirade against Elon Musk after the world’s richest person got into a public feud with President Trump, warning the tech billionaire that “we’re going to go to f‑‑‑ing war.”
“The president treated him almost like a son. He invited his family to Christmas dinner. He let him sleep over. He let him walk in and out of meetings,” Bannon, an ardent skeptic of Musk, said in an interview with Politico that was published late Thursday. “The president went to the max informality to welcome this guy.”
“You’re going to tell me we should allow some f‑‑‑ing punk to sit there and say he should be impeached and [VP] JD [Vance] should step in? F‑‑‑ you, dude,” the “War Room” podcast host continued. “We’re going to go to f‑‑‑ing war, and I’m going to rip your f‑‑‑ing face off.”
Hostilities between Musk and Trump were on public display Thursday with the two men trading blows on social media after the Tesla CEO slammed the GOP-backed megabill full of the president’s legislative priorities as an “abomination.”
Trump blasted Musk during Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to the White House for criticizing the “big, beautiful bill” — the massive piece of legislation currently moving through Congress.
Musk fired back at Trump on the social platform X, which he purchased in 2022, backing calls for the president to be impeached and Vice President Vance to take over as his successor. The tech mogul also accused Trump of being named in convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
Trump threatened to cut off billions of dollars of federal contracts with Musk’s companies, while the entrepreneur wrote that he would decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.
Bannon told Politico that he hopes White House trade adviser Peter Navarro is “drafting executive orders even as we speak [to] implement the Defense Production Act to seize both SpaceX and Starlink and put them under government management until that time that all investigations into Musk are complete.”
As the bitter implosion was unfolding earlier in the day, Bannon called for Musk’s immigration status to be investigated and for the billionaire, who was born in South Africa, to be deported.

Mission To Mars: Trump-Musk Ugly Spat Could Jeopardize Red Planet Mission, Renowned Mars Expert Says
Robert Zubrin quite literally wrote the book on why humanity should go to Mars — so why has the renowned aerospace engineer soured on Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur leading the charge?
In an interview, the 73-year-old founder of the Mars Society delivered a blistering critique, accusing the world’s richest person of undermining the mission through divisive politics and a bleak vision of the Red Planet as an escape from Earth rather than a journey of hope.
“On one level, he’s absolutely instrumental in opening up this opportunity to get humans to Mars, both through the development of Starship and also the inspiration that has caused,” Zubrin told AFP, referring to Musk’s prototype rocket.
“But for it to succeed, it has to go beyond these — this initiative cannot be seen as a Musk hobbyhorse or a Trump hobbyhorse — it must be seen, at a minimum, as America’s program, or preferably the Free World’s program.”
Zubrin’s 1996 book “The Case for Mars,” since updated numerous times, laid out a practical blueprint for reaching and settling the Red Planet using existing technologies and local resources — with the ultimate goal of transforming the atmosphere for long-term human habitation.
Supporter Turned Critic
The book won praise from Musk himself, who once posed with Zubrin at SpaceX’s Starship facility in Texas and called it “worth reading.”
But today, Zubrin — who co-authored the Mars Direct plan in 1990, has published hundreds of papers, and invented several advanced propulsion concepts — sees troubling signs.
While he described Musk as a “tremendously talented and forceful person,” he said his success has bred “hubris and arrogance,” comparing him to Napoleon as he thumped his fist for emphasis.
He was especially critical of Musk’s endorsement of Donald Trump during the 2024 election and his role as the administration’s cost-slashing chainsaw wielder.
“This combination of Trump and Musk is not going to persist forever,” Zubrin warned, in an interview conducted before the pair’s relationship imploded Thursday in a spectacular public row.
“And if this program is identified as their deal, it will be crushed as soon as opposing forces have sufficient power.”
During their fight on Thursday, Trump called Musk “crazy” and threatened to terminate his government contracts worth billions of dollars.
Zubrin also condemned Trump’s efforts to gut NASA’s space science budget — a move he sees as fundamentally at odds with the exploratory spirit of the Mars endeavor.
The Mars Sample Return mission — aimed at retrieving specimens collected by the Perseverance rover — is among the biggest science projects on the chopping block.
Although the mission, developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency, has suffered delays and budget overruns, Zubrin said that eliminating it entirely rather than reforming it would be a mistake.
“This threatens to brand this program with the mark of Cain of original sin — that this program is born with the blood of the murder of Space Science on it.”
Where Zubrin still sees promise is in Starship — Musk’s massive prototype rocket aimed at making life multiplanetary, though the vessel’s repeated test explosions show there’s a long way to go.
He diverges with Musk over how it should be used. Starship is far too large to serve as a Mars ascent vehicle, Zubrin said.
The Mars expert has proposed a vessel he calls Starboat — a compact lander that could shuttle between planetary surfaces and orbit, using a fraction of the propellant and surface power.
But his sharpest critiques are philosophical.
He rejects Musk’s portrayal of Mars as a refuge from a dying Earth — a vision that echoes the works of science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
“We’re not going to Mars out of despair,” Zubrin said. “We’re going to Mars out of hope… to establish new branches of human civilization which will add their creative capacity to that of humanity as a whole.”
He sees Mars not as a refuge but as a renewal, where a campaign beginning with robotic missions in the late 2020s and culminating in human landings by 2033 could inspire bipartisan support, showcase American ingenuity, and restore national purpose.
“If we do the kind of program that I advocated… we will once again, as we did in Apollo, astonish the world with what free people can do,” he said. “We’ll make it clear that freedom, not authoritarianism, is the future of the human race.”

Indians, Piyush Goyal is 100% correct.
India's commerce minister said his country's startups needed to emulate China by focusing on high-end tech and not quick grocery deliveries or fancy ice cream - harsh criticism that had entrepreneurs quickly pointing out the government's shortcomings.
Piyush Goyal told a startup event in New Delhi late on Thursday that too many were offering food delivery so that "the rich can get their meals without moving out of their house" and were "turning unemployed youth into cheap labour."
"Are we going to be happy being delivery boys and girls? (Making) fancy ice cream and cookies ... is that the destiny of India?" he said, showing a slide titled "India vs. China. The Startup Reality Check".
"What do the Chinese startups do? Work on developing electric mobility, battery technology ... look at what the other side is doing - robotics, automation, machine learning, preparing themselves for 3D manufacturing," Goyal said.

Mark Cuban Says, If They Replaced Elon Musk With Him, He's Still Try to Make Government Smaller By 'Cutting A Lot Of People'
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban says he doesn't need a political title to shake up big systems—and if he were ever asked to replace Elon Musk in running the government, he'd still aim to shrink it dramatically.
Cuban Would Still Shrink Government—Just With a Plan
“Trying to cut the size of government... and cutting a lot of people for better or worse, comes with the territory,” Cuban said on a recent episode of “The Lincoln Project Podcast.” “You can’t make government smaller and not cut hundreds of thousands, if not, you know, some significant number.”
Throughout the interview, Cuban stressed the importance of planning and transparency, and his belief that without a strategy, drastic government cuts result in more harm than good.
“Shock and awe is great, but if there’s no plan behind shock and awe, it’s just shock and awful,” he said.

Donald Trump’s shoot-from-the-lip style kept Americans on the edge of their seats during last year's campaign. But now that he's speaking as a president and not as a candidate, his words are being used against him in court in the blizzard of litigation challenging his agenda.
The spontaneity is complicating his administration's legal positions. Nowhere has this been clearer than in cases involving his adviser Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, the driving force in his efforts to downsize and overhaul the federal government.
The latest example came earlier this week when U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ruled that Musk had likely violated the Constitution by dismantling the United States Agency for International Development.
The lawsuit turned on the question of whether the billionaire entrepreneur had overstepped his authority. Justice Department lawyers and White House officials insist that Musk is merely a presidential adviser, not the actual leader of

Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to chair a symposium to boost private sector sentiment next week that will be attended by the country's business leaders including Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, three people with knowledge of the meeting said.
Xi rarely chairs symposiums about the private sector and the event underscores the numerous challenges facing China Inc, from escalating tensions with the United States under President Donald Trump to sputtering growth for the domestic economy.
Many of the entrepreneurs will be from the tech sector and Xi is expected to encourage them to expand their businesses domestically and internationally amidst an intensifying Sino-U.S. technology war, two sources said.
The symposium is likely to take place on Monday.
Pony Ma, the CEO of tech giant Tencent to be there, Lei Jun, the chief executive of smartphone and electric vehicle maker Xiaomi as well as Wang Xingxing, the founder of robotics company Yushu Technology, Huawei executive also expected.

The interim U.S. attorney in Washington warned Monday his office would pursue charges against "anyone who impedes" the work of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which President Donald Trump has tasked with dismantling the federal bureaucracy.
Justice Department's message was delivered shortly before the White House confirmed that Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, had been made a "special government employee" amid his efforts to downsize and restructure the federal government.
Ed Martin, who was appointed by Trump last month as U.S. attorney of the District of Columbia, referenced DOGE staff who have been "targeted publicly," Martin said, "Any threats, confrontations, or other actions that in any way impact their work may break numerous laws"
"Let me assure you of this: we will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes on your work or threatens your people," Martin said. "We will protect DOGE and other (federal) workers no matter

President Trump on Sunday slammed the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), arguing it is poorly run after recent news reports that he is considering merging the agency with the State Department.
“It’s been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we’re getting them out. USAID, run by radical lunatics, and we’re getting them out, and then we’ll make a decision,” Trump said.
USAID sends aid to communities impacted by conflicts and assists developing countries on many aspects. Democrats have slammed Trump over the reports about USAID joining the State Department, noting that the agency is “by statute, an independent establishment.”
Trump also praised billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on Sunday night, after reports that two top USAID security officials were put on leave after trying to stop the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk leads, from accessing its systems.

How DeepSeek’s millennial cofounder went from lowkey math geek to one of tech’s hottest players.
Up until last week, Liang Wenfeng was a relatively unknown figure. The 40-year-old founder of the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek had kept a low profile, just one of many passionate quantitative minds in tech. Now, he has burst onto the global stage, with Silicon Valley heavyweights like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and OpenAI investor Joshua Kushner eagerly.....
Liang’s DeepSeek breakthrough has propelled him to the forefront of China’s AI industry, challenging the narrative that the country lags behind U.S. tech giants.
Math-minded entrepreneurship-
Raised on the southern coast of China in Zhanjiang, Liang was a straight-A student with an aptitude for math.
Curiosity rather than cash-
Despite Liang’s meteoric rise, colleagues say he isn’t motivated by wealth or fame.
U.S. skepticism-
Liang’s claim that DeepSeek constructed its latest model in just two months for under $6 million—roughly

Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and increasingly close ally to President-elect Donald Trump, endorsed Germany's far right political party in a series of recent posts, following a deadly Christmas market attack there Friday evening.
A driver rammed into a crowd Magdeburg, Germany, killing at least five people and leaving more than 200 injured, according to officials.
Musk has become increasingly influential in American politics, seen as having Trump's ear and set to co-lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. He is now wading into Germany's election campaign, calling on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to resign and throwing his support behind the populist anti-immigration AfD.
"Scholz should resign immediately," Musk posted on X, adding: "Incompetent fool."
"The traditional political parties in Germany have utterly failed the people," he wrote in another post. "AfD is the only hope for Germany"

A pair of Democratic senators called for a federal investigation into Elon Musk’s involvement in SpaceX’s federal contracts following reports the tech billionaire has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a letter sent Friday, Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said Musk’s reported relations with a U.S. adversary “pose serious questions” about his “reliability as a government contract and a clearance holder.”
Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX, holds contracts with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community worth billions of dollars. He is also a “prime contractor” for the Space Force’s National Security Space program and holds a $1.8 billion classified contract with the National Reconnaissance Office, the lawmakers noted.
The tech entrepreneur has reportedly claimed he holds a U.S. security clearance as part of these federal agreements.

Haiti will name entrepreneur and former senate candidate Alix Didier Fils-Aime to replace Prime Minister Garry Conille, who was tapped for the role in May, according to a transitional presidential council draft resolution seen by Reuters.
The shakeup is the latest blow to political stability in the country, which has been wracked with worsening violence. Armed gangs have gained control of most of capital Port-au-Prince and expanded to nearby regions, fueling hunger and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes.
Didier Fils-Aime is the son of well-known Haitian activist, Alix Fils-Aime, who was jailed under the regime of dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier.
Conille, who also briefly led the country over a decade ago, has been prime minister for about six months. He was appointed to the role in May by Haiti's transition council to return to the role as the Caribbean nation works to restore stability.
The shakeup is the latest blow to political stability in the country, which has been wracked with worsening violence. Armed gangs have gained control of most of capital Port-au-Prince and expanded to nearby regions, fueling hunger and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes.

How Telegram arrest could unlock Russian front line secrets
Pavel Durov was arrested last month, Russia’s public space erupted in indignation.
Depending on who you asked, France had launched an attack on freedom of speech; a Russophobic harassment of one of the country’s greatest entrepreneurs; or a Nato-led intelligence operation aimed at penetrating the command and control of Russia’s army in Ukraine.
They argued, that Mr Durov was a Kremlin agent; his public persona as an exiled free-speech champion, a cover story; the “secure” messenger he runs, a spy tool.
So what does Mr Durov know? Telegram founder about to hand over the keys to Russia’s war in Ukraine to Nato?
There’s the usual mystery surrounding questions of intelligence and national security; there’s the difficulty of distinguishing genuine concern from paranoia and propaganda; and there is a war on.
“I think the Kremlin is worried that Western intelligence can obtain a lot of insight into Russia’s conduct of t

Bill Gates says the world is facing two options: A ‘major war’ or another pandemic in less than 30 years
There are some questions that keep even billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur Bill Gates up at night. Will there be another pandemic? Are global tensions going to reach a boiling point, sparking a global war? What would push us to that precipice?
While Gates, a father of three, is determinedly optimistic about the likes of AI and eradicating deadly diseases like polio, he remains concerned about either a widespread war or another pandemic.
He cited "a lot of unrest" in the world at the moment, which could spark "a major war."
But even if that conflict is avoided, "then yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years,” Gates said.
He was critical of America's response to the crisis, saying: “The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations.

Mark Cuban Tells Elon Musk 'Delete Your Account' After Tech Billionaire Calls Tucker Carlson's Latest Episode On WW2 And Churchill 'Worth Watching'
Billionaire entrepreneurs Mark Cuban and Elon Musk found themselves at odds over a controversial interview conducted by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The interview, which focused on World War II and Winston Churchill, sparked a strong reaction from Cuban after Musk endorsed it as “worth watching.”
The spark of controversy ignited when Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, took to X (formerly Twitter) to endorse an interview featuring Carlson and Darryl Cooper, host of The MartyrMade Podcast.
Musk wrote, “Very interesting. Worth watching,” drawing attention to the interview. Carlson had introduced Cooper as possibly “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” noting that Cooper’s latest project delves into what Carlson termed “the most forbidden of all: trying to understand World War Two.”

After years of pressure on Durov, Russia suddenly rallies behind him.
Days after gunmen killed 145 concert-goers at a venue near Moscow in March, as allegations emerged that the assailants had been recruited on Telegram, the Kremlin issued a stern warning to its founder.
"We would expect more attention from Pavel Durov, because this unique and phenomenal resource ... is increasingly becoming a tool in the hands of terrorists," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Five months later, as French prosecutors pursue an investigation into Telegram founder and boss Durov over the use of the messaging app for fraud, drug trafficking, money laundering and other forms of organised crime, Moscow has changed its public stance on the tech entrepreneur.
With some Russians now hailing Durov as a hero of free speech, Peskov said on Thursday that the case against him should "not turn into political persecution".

What are the potential long-term impacts of the gig economy on traditional employment and labor rights?
By Hugo Keji
The gig economy, characterized by short-term, flexible jobs often facilitated by digital platforms, is reshaping the traditional employment landscape.
While it offers opportunities for flexibility and independence, it also poses challenges to traditional employment structures and labor rights.
Here are the potential long-term impacts:
1. Shift in Employment Models
A. Rise of Freelancing and Independent Contracting
Decline of Full-Time Employment: As gig work becomes more prevalent, there may be a decline in traditional full-time jobs with stable income and benefits. Companies might prefer hiring gig workers to reduce costs associated with salaries, benefits, and long-term commitments.
Increased Job Flexibility: Gig work offers more flexibility, allowing individuals to work multiple jobs or pursue personal interests. This flexibility can be attractive to workers seeking work-life balance, but it also comes with trade-offs in job security and benefits.
B. Blurring of Employment Boundaries
Erosion of Employer-Employee Relationship: The gig economy often blurs the line between employers and independent contractors, leading to ambiguity in employment rights and responsibilities. This can weaken the traditional employer-employee relationship and reduce workers' bargaining power.
Rise of Platform Dependence: Workers may become increasingly dependent on digital platforms (e.g., Uber, TaskRabbit) for income. This dependence can lead to power imbalances, where platforms dictate terms and conditions, often at the expense of workers' rights.
2. Impact on Labor Rights and Protections
A. Challenges to Traditional Labor Protections
Lack of Benefits: Gig workers often do not receive traditional employment benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, paid leave, or unemployment insurance. This can lead to increased financial insecurity and reduced access to essential services.
Limited Legal Protections: Gig workers may not be covered by labor laws that protect traditional employees, such as minimum wage laws, overtime pay, and workplace safety regulations. This can lead to exploitation and unsafe working conditions.
B. Unionization and Collective Bargaining
Difficulty in Organizing: The gig economy's decentralized and dispersed nature makes it challenging for workers to organize and form unions. Without collective bargaining power, gig workers may struggle to negotiate better pay and working conditions.
Emergence of New Forms of Worker Advocacy: Despite challenges, new forms of worker advocacy are emerging, such as digital unions and worker cooperatives. These organizations aim to represent gig workers' interests and push for better labor protections.
3. Economic Inequality and Social Implications
A. Widening Income Inequality
Polarization of Income: The gig economy may contribute to widening income inequality, as high-skilled workers (e.g., freelance consultants, developers) command higher pay, while low-skilled gig workers (e.g., delivery drivers) face low wages and precarious work conditions.
Reduced Social Mobility: The instability and lack of benefits in gig work can hinder long-term financial planning, making it difficult for workers to achieve upward social mobility.
B. Impact on Social Safety Nets
Strain on Public Resources: As more workers engage in gig work without employer-provided benefits, there may be increased reliance on public resources, such as healthcare and social welfare programs. This could strain government budgets and require policy adjustments.
Redefinition of Social Contracts: The rise of the gig economy may necessitate a rethinking of the social contract between workers, employers, and the state. This could lead to policy reforms, such as the introduction of universal basic income, portable benefits, or new labor classifications that better reflect the realities of gig work.
4. Future of Work and Employment Norms
A. Technological Disruption
Automation and AI: The gig economy is closely linked to technological advancements. As automation and AI continue to evolve, some gig jobs may be replaced by machines, leading to further disruption in the labor market.
Continuous Learning and Skill Development: To stay competitive, gig workers may need to engage in continuous learning and skill development. This could lead to a shift in education and training systems, with a focus on lifelong learning.
B. Cultural and Social Changes
Changing Perceptions of Work: The gig economy may lead to a cultural shift in how work is perceived, with greater emphasis on flexibility, entrepreneurship, and work-life balance. However, this could also contribute to the normalization of precarious work and job insecurity.
Redefinition of Career Paths: Traditional career paths, characterized by long-term employment and progression within a single company, may give way to more fragmented and non-linear career trajectories. Workers may need to adapt to frequent job changes and the need to continually re-skill.
The gig economy has the potential to significantly reshape traditional employment and labor rights. While it offers opportunities for flexibility and independence, it also raises concerns about job security, income inequality, and the erosion of labor protections.
The long-term impact will depend on how governments, businesses, and workers respond to these challenges, potentially leading to new labor policies, social safety nets, and employment norms.

Does Africa really need charity or good and responsible leadership?
By Hugo Keji
Africa needs good and responsible leadership more than charity to achieve sustainable development and long-term prosperity. While charity can provide immediate relief and support, it often does not address the root causes of the continent's challenges. Good and responsible leadership, on the other hand, can create the conditions necessary for self-sustaining growth and development.

5. Education and Empowerment
Quality Education: Good leadership prioritizes education, ensuring that the youth are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to drive innovation and economic growth.
Empowerment Programs: Leaders can implement programs that empower marginalized groups, promoting social inclusion and economic participation.
6. Infrastructure Development
Investment in Infrastructure: Effective leadership focuses on developing infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and digital connectivity, which are essential for economic activities and improving the quality of life.
Public-Private Partnerships: Good leaders can foster partnerships between the public and private sectors to fund and build necessary infrastructure.
7. Health and Wellbeing
Healthcare Systems: Responsible leadership ensures that healthcare systems are robust, accessible, and capable of addressing both immediate and long-term health needs.
Public Health Policies: Leaders can implement effective public health policies that prevent diseases and promote overall health and wellbeing.
8. Environmental Sustainability
Environmental Policies: Good leaders can enact policies that protect the environment, promote sustainable use of resources, and address climate change.
Green Initiatives: Leadership can drive initiatives that promote renewable energy, conservation, and sustainable agriculture.
9. Innovation and Technology
Support for Innovation: Effective leadership can create an environment that supports innovation and technological advancement, positioning Africa as a key player in the global digital economy.
Investment in Research: Good leaders can prioritize investment in research and development to drive homegrown solutions to local and global challenges.
10. Global Partnerships
International Relations: Responsible leadership can build and maintain strong international partnerships, ensuring that Africa's interests are represented and that the continent can benefit from global opportunities.
Trade Agreements: Good leaders can negotiate favorable trade agreements that boost the continent's economic prospects.
Conclusion
While charity can provide temporary relief and address immediate needs, good and responsible leadership is essential for creating the conditions necessary for sustainable development and long-term prosperity.
Africa's future hinges on the ability of its leaders to implement effective policies, manage resources wisely, and foster an environment where all citizens can thrive.
