6 d. ago So social media has broken even Elon Musk. I’m forced to ask: U OK hun? | Marina Hyde

In his spat with Trump, the man who literally owns X has been hoist by his own platform. Guys, no one is safe!Did you see Elon Musk apologise for some tweets this week? (Please don’t be naff and call them “X posts”.) Like me, you will be so embarrassed for Earth’s primo edgelord that he feels pressed into doing something so excruciatingly conventional. This is worse than when Kate Moss was scapegoated into rehab.Imagine owning the world’s premier shitposting platform – in fact, having spent $44bn (£32bn) on it, specifically so that your magic mirror would tell you each day that you were the fairest shitposter of all – and then shuffling sheepishly on to your own pixels to mumble something about having gone “too far” with your hurty words. Buck up, sadsack – honestly.Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

6 d. ago Why is the media ignoring growing resistance to Trump? | Margaret Sullivan

Protest actions like ‘Hands Off’ and ‘No Kings’ are sweeping across the US. But the media is barely paying attentionWhen hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered across the US on 5 April for the “Hands Off” events protesting Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s governmental wrecking ball, much of the news media seemed to yawn.The next day, the New York Times put a photograph, but no story, on its print front page. The Wall Street Journal’s digital homepage had it as only the 20th-most-prominent story when I checked. Fox News was dismissive; I stopped counting after I scanned 40 articles on its homepage, though there was a video with this dismissive headline: “Liberals rally against President Trump.”Margaret Sullivan is a Guardian US columnist writing on media, politics and culture Continue reading...

1 week ago Musk and Trump are enemies made for each other – united in their ability to trash their own brands | Jonathan Freedland

What one did to Twitter and Tesla, the other is doing to the United States of America. Their feud is revealing a fatal flaw in the Maga projectThe scriptwriters of Trump: the Soap Opera are slipping. The latest plot development – the epic falling-out between the title character and his best buddy, Elon Musk – was so predictable, and indeed predicted, that it counts as the opposite of a twist. Still, surprise can be overrated. Watching the two men – one the richest in the world, the other the most powerful – turn on each other in a series of ever-more venomous posts on their respective social media platforms has been entertainment of the highest order. X v Truth: it could be a Marvel blockbuster.But this is more than mere popcorn fodder. Even if they eventually patch things up, the rift between the president and Musk has exposed a divide inside the contemporary right, in the US and beyond – and a fatal flaw of the Trump project.Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian columnistDo you have an...

Trump tells CNN Musk ‘has a problem’ and that he does not plan to speak to the Tesla CEO for a whileTrump says Musk has ‘lost his mind’ and dismisses peace offeringTesla shares rose on Friday as investors took some comfort from White House aides scheduling a call with CEO Elon Musk to broker peace after a public feud with President Donald Trump, reports Reuters. The electric carmaker’s shares were up about 5% in Frankfurt on Friday, having closed down 14.3% on Thursday in New York, losing about $150bn in market value.“It’s unlikely that Trump will end subsidies and contracts with Tesla.
