TRUMP’S BOLD Move: Elon Musk and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Connect
— President-elect Donald Trump facilitated a conversation between Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a congratulatory call. A Ukrainian official revealed that Trump handed his phone to Musk, allowing Zelenskyy to thank the SpaceX CEO for providing Starlink satellite internet access. This highlights Musk’s influence within Trump’s circle, sparking speculation about a potential formal role in the administration.
Trump’s interactions with Zelenskyy are under scrutiny as he prepares to assume office on January 20th. He has suggested a shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine, proposing Kyiv might cede territory for peace with Russia — an idea Zelenskyy rejects. This stance contrasts with Trump’s previous administration’s decision to arm Ukraine against Russian aggression in 2017, which helped counter the full-scale invasion in 2022.
The Biden administration has provided extensive military and economic aid to Ukraine, drawing criticism from Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. They argue that U.S. resources should prioritize domestic needs over foreign conflicts, reflecting their cautious approach towards international involvement.
AMERICAN AIRLINES Shocks Parents by Blaming 9-Year-Old for Hidden Camera
— A 9-year-old girl “should have known” there was a camera hidden under the toilet seat by an American Airlines flight attendant, according to the airline’s lawyers. The employee, Estes Carter Thompson III, 37, allegedly filmed multiple little girls between the ages of 7 and 14 over seven months last year. Federal prosecutors have charged Thompson with multiple offenses.
One of the victims’ families sued both the airline and Thompson. They were “outraged” and “angry” when the airline’s lawyers blamed the girl, said Paul Llewellyn, their attorney. Llewellyn told Fox News Digital that blaming a child for not noticing a hidden camera is unacceptable and unprecedented in his experience.
American Airlines’ court filing stated that any injuries or illnesses sustained by plaintiff Mary Doe were due to her own fault and negligence. The filing claimed she should have known about the visible recording device in the lavatory. Llewellyn said the family was “absolutely appalled” after reading this defense argument from American Airlines’ lawyers.
Twitter User @x LOSES Handle After Twitter Rename; Offered Tour and Merchandise as Compensation
— Gene X Hwang, known as @x on Twitter since 2007, knew his username’s days were numbered after Elon Musk’s recent renaming of the platform to “X.” Upon landing from a pinball tournament in Canada, Hwang found messages notifying him that the company had taken over his handle.
Twitter explained that Hwang’s account data would be preserved and that he would receive a new username. The company offered Hwang merchandise, a tour of its offices, and a meeting with management as compensation.
The change in his account is one of the latest disruptions since Musk’s takeover and the replacement of Twitter’s blue bird logo with the letter “X.”

ELON MUSK Champions Free Speech On X
— Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), has increasingly used the platform to amplify his political views and those of right-wing figures. Musk’s actions align with his 2022 statement that he bought Twitter to protect free speech. He believes a public platform for free speech is crucial for civilization’s future.
Musk often discusses existential threats like population collapse and artificial intelligence, framing threats to free speech as another crisis. He sees X as a “digital town square” where vital issues are debated. In the U.S., Musk has shared memes and sometimes misinformation about illegal immigration, election fraud, and transgender policies while endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential bid.
In May 2023, Musk co-hosted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid announcement on X, which faced technical issues but highlighted his vision for the platform. Despite the glitches, Musk invited other candidates to use X for their announcements.
Trump accepted and had an interview with Musk that also experienced technical difficulties but eventually took place after a 42-minute delay.
