Now, let’s get started…
📌 So, why does Elon Musk want to get pregnant?
The man is at it again - this time hinting that he wishes he could experience pregnancy. Yep, you read that right.
It all started when someone joked, "If men could give birth, Elon would be on his 17th pregnancy." And what did Elon do? He quote-tweeted with a big ol’ "1000%." This is coming from the guy who already has 12 kids and an obsession with reproduction.
Btw trans men can and do get pregnant, but Musk and folks like him seem to lose their minds over that reality. So what’s the deal? Is Elon secretly fascinated with motherhood? Maybe he just likes to stir the pot. Either way, science isn’t quite there yet for people assigned male at birth (AMAB) to carry a baby - though some experts say uterus transplants could make it possible someday. Bold move if any cis men are up for it.
📌 Beware! Dogs are turning into 'werewolves' after chewing on these bones
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has raised concerns about chew bones and cheese sticks from the brand Barkoo. Turns out, these treats might be causing a condition called "werewolf syndrome" in dogs.
A few dogs in the Netherlands who ate these chews started showing bizarre neurological symptoms. Some even became aggressive or had epileptic fits. Tragically, one dog passed away, and another had to be rushed to the vet. Vets think the treats might have been contaminated during manufacturing, which is really scary.
This isn't just a local problem either – similar cases have popped up in Germany, Switzerland, Finland, and Belgium.
📌 A Samsung fridge is now talking back!
So, get this: A TikToker, Felicia Zicardi, recently shared a chilling experience where she claims her Samsung smart fridge whispered to her at night - despite her turning off its microphone. Yeah, you heard that right!
Her spooky story blew up, racking up 2.8 million views and sparking a major debate about privacy. Samsung, of course, is sticking to their guns, saying their fridges are totally secure and that the strange sounds are just harmless mechanical glitches. But, of course, viewers are having a field day, joking about hacking fridges and wondering if smart tech is more trouble than it's worth.
📌 Oh, and this woman got married thinking it’s a prank
So here's a wild story from Australia: a couple's marriage was annulled after the bride testified that she thought the whole thing was just a prank for social media! The bride, who's 24, filed for an annulment after realizing the "wedding" she thought was a staged video for Instagram was actually a real ceremony.
The couple met on a dating app in 2023, and after a brief romance, the groom - who's a social media influencer - invited her to what he called a "white party" in December 2023. When she showed up, she was shocked to find out it was a wedding. According to her, the groom told her it was just a "prank" to boost his Instagram content. She didn't leave, though, and even called a friend for advice. The groom insisted it was all for his social media, but the bride testified she didn’t think she was actually getting married.
Things took an even crazier turn when the groom claimed the marriage was legitimate, but the bride argued she never intended to marry him so quickly, especially without her family present (which is a cultural requirement). In the end, the judge sided with the bride, concluding that she likely thought it was just a social media stunt, and declared the marriage void.

Elon Musk - An Analysis of His Behaviour
( Roman/Nazi Salute)
In a meticulous analysis of the recent inauguration event for former President Donald Trump, it has been observed that Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, executed two conspicuous gestures reminiscent of the Hitler salute. These actions were deliberate and unambiguous, embodying a symbol historically associated with the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime, which resulted in the deaths of millions. The pertinent inquiry arises: what motivated such a display?
Upon rigorous examination, it becomes evident that Musk’s actions were not merely performative but emblematic of a deeper ideological alignment. Historical records indicate that Musk’s maternal lineage harboured sympathies towards Nazi ideology, with documented instances of Holocaust denial. His father, Errol Musk, has been characterized by pronounced elitist and eugenicist beliefs, further complicating the familial narrative.
The nomenclature of “Elon” is purportedly derived from Errol’s fascination with rocketry during the apartheid era in South Africa, specifically influenced by Wernher von Braun, a former Nazi scientist. This connection is further substantiated by references to von Braun’s science fiction work, “Marsprojekt,” wherein a leader named “Elon” governs a Martian colony. Such historical intersections suggest a deliberate cultivation of ideological continuity.
Musk’s public persona reveals inclinations towards eugenicist thought, advocating for increased reproduction among certain demographics and expressing views that can be interpreted as supportive of hierarchical social structures. His endeavours, ranging from support for specific political movements in Europe to ambitious projects like Mars colonization, can be viewed through a lens that perceives a pursuit of ideological propagation.
The public execution of gestures associated with Nazi symbolism serves multiple functions. It acts as a litmus test for societal tolerance, gauging the extent to which such actions can be normalized or dismissed. The relative silence or muted response from mainstream media and political entities may indicate a broader desensitization or unwillingness to confront such displays, potentially due to complex socio-political dynamics.
In summation, Musk’s actions and historical affiliations suggest a nuanced and deliberate engagement with ideologies that warrant critical examination. The interplay between personal history, public behaviour, and societal response underscores the importance of vigilance in recognizing and addressing the resurgence of such ideologies in contemporary contexts.
