Elon Musk is pushing back hard against Bill Gates, following sharp criticism from the Microsoft co-founder that accused Musk of putting the lives of poor children around the globe at risk by undermining America’s foreign aid programs.
“Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children?” Musk said during a conversation at the Bloomberg Qatar Economic Forum. He was directly addressing Gates’ claims that Musk’s influence has negatively impacted vulnerable communities around the world.
Musk, who reaffirmed his commitment to remain at the helm of Tesla for at least another half-decade, was adamant in rejecting Gates’ allegations. “Show us any evidence whatsoever that that is true. It’s false,” he declared.

In an early-morning session Thursday, the House of Representatives passed President Donald Trump’s landmark tax reform package, which includes the creation of special savings accounts for children that will receive an initial $1,000 federal contribution.
Dubbed “Trump Accounts,” these savings vehicles were previously introduced under the name “Money Accounts for Growth and Advancement” — also referred to as “MAGA Accounts.” The funds in these accounts can later be used toward educational pursuits, purchasing a first home, or starting a small business.
While the House has now given the green light to the legislation, it still awaits potential amendments or resistance in the Senate before becoming law.

The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against four municipalities in New Jersey—Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Hoboken—accusing them of obstructing federal immigration enforcement through their sanctuary city policies, The NY Post reports.
Federal prosecutors allege that these cities have been actively preventing cooperation between local and federal authorities, thereby making it harder to apprehend and deport individuals residing in the country illegally.

IDF Maj. Gen. David Zini, recently named by Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu as the next head of the Shin Bet, is said to have expressed firm opposition to negotiating hostage exchanges with Hamas.
According to Channel 12, Zini made his stance clear during a recent internal security briefing, reportedly stating, “I’m against hostage deals. This is an eternal war.”
Despite his qualifications, Zini – who is affiliated with the national religious community – was passed over last year for the role of military secretary. Haaretz reported at the time that Netanyahu declined to appoint him due to concerns that Zini was “too messianic,” a sentiment the prime minister allegedly shared with close associates.

JACKSON, NJ – The two yeshiva students killed in a de

The tragic suicide of a 26-year-old police officer from Pennsylvania, believed to be linked to complications following LASIK surgery, is not an isolated case, according to patients and physicians interviewed by The New York Post. Others have reported similar outcomes — debilitating symptoms that have altered their lives and, in some cases, led to suicidal thoughts.
While LASIK clinics often claim the procedure carries a success rate of 95% to 99%, one woman who underwent the operation in 2000 described her experience as devastating. She said it took her two years to recover from the emotional fallout and contended that many others didn’t survive the aftermath.
