Two members of the Royal Society resigned and thousands of Fellows protested over Elon Musk's membership. But not a whisper was heard when Covid-cover-up king Anthony Fauci was made a Fellow, says James Alexander.
European Union regulators are preparing to fine Elon Musk's X up to $1 billion for breaking its notorious Digital Services Act in a move likely to ratchet up tensions with the United States.
Elon Musk has said that reports of him quitting DOGE – a claim put out yesterday by Politico – are "fake news" as officials say he's going nowhere until his "incredible" work is finished.
President Donald Trump has reportedly told his Cabinet that Elon Musk is stepping back from his Government role of running DOGE to return to the business world.
Rachel Reeves has announced a £3.25bn transformation fund to supposedly bring down the costs of government. This is likely to be as ineffective as the Office for Value for Money and just more waste, says David Craig.
As the receipts from DOGE flood in it's clear that environmental NGOs pushing climate alarmism form a key plank of the bloated administrative state. The axe can't come soon enough, says Tilak Doshi.
Anti-Elon Musk demonstrations have erupted across the US with Left-wing protesters attacking Tesla showrooms with guns and Molotov cocktails.
Elon Musk's X refused to hand over hundreds of account details to British authorities during and after last summer’s riots, as the US billionaire attacked the Government for imprisoning people for social media posts.
The Elon Musk witch hunt is a key test for the Royal Society, says Prof Abhishek Saha. Activist academics are piling on the pressure to expel the technological pioneer. Does the society stand for science or not?
Calling Trump a dictator is just silly, says Prof James Allan. Yes, he's bombastic. But he's been elected to secure the border and drain the swamp. And he is the President, in whom all executive authority resides.
