White House Senior Advisor to the President and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk departs the U.S. Capitol Building on March 5, 2025 in Washington, DC. Musk was meeting with Republican senators at a closed door lunch.  

Elon Musk continues to attack Zohran Mamdani amid his latest announcement about a price plan for city-owned grocery stores in New York.

The SpaceX CEO took to his own social media platform, X, to share a video of the New York City mayor discussing how free, taxpayer-funded, city-run grocery stores would now require IDs to curb reselling.

"Oh, the irony is too much …" Musk penned. "What they’re doing won’t matter. AI & robots will actually deliver the free goods & services that those thieves pretend to offer, while actually stealing from others. Mamdani is a thief and a liar, plain and simple," he said in another post.

 He responded that the RFP (Request for Proposal) is succinct about the program being a way for New Yorkers to be able to afford food, not for people to make "a quick buck" by reselling. He yielded the floor to EDC head Jean Pak, who then explained that the RFP ensures that it targets New Yorkers, be it at "sort of a library-card-esque system," and also who will be purchasing.

MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has become one of the most influential philanthropists in America by pioneering large-scale medical debt relief.

According to a report by Fortune, through her donations to Undue Medical Debt (formerly known as RIP Medical Debt) Scott helped transform a small non-profit into a national force.

Since 2020, her gifts totaling more than. $100 million have enabled the organization to abolish more than $40 billion medical debt across all 50 states, providing relief to millions of families.

The initiative of cutting down the medical debt is a small part of Scott’s larger philanthropic footprint. 

Scott has also given away more than $26 billion to more than 2,500 organizations which include Black colleges and universities, environmental groups, and economic equity nonprofits and more. As per Fortune report, the recent estimates suggest that her net worth stands at around $33.8 billion.

Fauci..

 

In one February 2, 2020, email—just one day after the now-infamous “Proximal Origins” call— a conversation between Jeremy Farrar, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Francis Collins shows their intent to “get ahead of the science and narrative of” the origins of COVID-19. 

Later, Dr. Fauci instructed then-NIH Director Francis Collins: “Please delete this e-mail after you read it.”

In another email, dated July 20, 2020, Dr. Fauci displayed a blatant disregard for congressional oversight, remarking “As usual [Rand Paul]’s full of s..t” and wrote to his Chief of Staff: “please delete this e-mail after you read it.”

“Dr. Fauci misled Congress and the American people. The evidence is clear: while publicly posturing as a champion of science, he was privately directing his staff to destroy federal records,” said Dr. Paul. 

“This is a blatant violation, a betrayal of the public trust, and further proof that Fauci engaged in a coverup from the very beginning of the pandemic.”

Despite..

 

Despite Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “rent freeze,” the costs for New York apartments continues to soar — except it’s not really “despite” at all: His policies either don’t touch the problems, or make them worse.

The average rent of an open Manhattan unit just hit an eye-watering $6,655 a month, report industry pros, a 10% jump from last year.

An average studio is now going for more than four grand;  

One major reason: Rent regulation insulates 1 million apartments more than one quarter of the entire city’s housing stock from market pricing.

Those tenants rarely leave, making open units more scarce, and so forcing up prices for the 1 million market-rate apartments.

And the rent freeze (which actually benefits higher-income folks more that lower earners) only makes things worse.

Plus, when a longtime rent-stabilized tenant finally moves out, 2019 state “reforms” make it unaffordable for landlords to bring the unit up to code, so even vacated apartments can’t get offered to new tenants.

All of this makes the city’s “rent inequities” even worse, with would-be newcomers facing the most ridiculous rents while the “haves” already here get an ever-better break.
