Donald Trump Musk Throws Billionaire Shade At Bezos
UPDATE
7:50 AM PT -- Thursday morning, about 9 hours after Elon Musk's post, Jeff Bezos responded underneath with his own tweet ... "Nope. 100% not true."
Elon Musk took a shot at Jeff Bezos, calling him out for supposedly predicting -- wrongly, we may add -- that Donald Trump would lose the presidential election to Kamala Harris.
On Wednesday night, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock.”
Clearly, Musk was referring to the stock value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had lost to Harris, but, of course, that didn't happen. Trump walloped Harris in the election and now he's about to take the reins again at the White House for his second term.

A couple minutes into the mission, SpaceX had announced a "no go" for the attempted booster catch. The booster was meant to be reusable, but won't be since it landed in saltwater, which it's not designed to withstand.

Diddy Prominent Man Sues Diddy Accusers' Lawyer, Alleges Extortion
A prominent figure is suing the lawyer repping more than 120 of Diddy's alleged victims, saying the attorney is "shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums from him," while threatening a lawsuit packed with "wildly false horrific allegations" if he doesn't pay up.
