Breaking: Elon Musk lost the lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

Breaking: Elon Musk lost the lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

A federal jury in Oakland unanimously ruled against him after less than two hours of deliberation, finding that his claims (breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment) were filed too late under the statute of limitations.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted the advisory jury's verdict as her own and dismissed the claims. She noted there was substantial evidence supporting the timing issue and said she was prepared to dismiss it herself.

Musk's team immediately preserved their right to appeal. His lead counsel, Steven Molo, told the court they intend to appeal, and another attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed the same to reporters.

Moldova #2 in topul fostelor republici sovietice (turism, ospitalitate)👏 - travel vlogger

In cel mai recent video al sau, renumitul vlogger 'Bald and Bankrupt' considera Moldova a doua destinatie favorita dintre toate cele 15 republici foste- sovietice vizitate.

👏

https://youtu.be/PtVlklC28WM?t=1454

Principalele atu-uri:

  1. ospitalitatea oamenilor
  2. poarta de intrare pt Transnistria ca "atractie" sovietica.

Toate cele 15 foste republici sovietice sunt evaluate, de la: usurinta de a ajunge, atractii turistice si atitudinea oamenilor. (Turkmenistan - cea mai izolata, Georgia - cea mai inospitaliera, etc)

UAP Files released

The gist: the Pentagon / “Department of War” has started a public UAP/UFO file-release portal called PURSUE, apparently in response to Trump’s February directive to identify, declassify, and release government records about UFOs, UAPs, “alien and extraterrestrial life,” etc. The first release went live today, May 8, 2026.

What’s actually in it: not alien bodies, not flying saucers, not a smoking gun. It is a mixed tranche of unresolved UAP material from agencies like DoD/DOW, FBI, NASA, State, etc. Axios highlights witness accounts from federal employees who saw orange “orbs” launching smaller red “orbs” over the Western U.S., plus Apollo 12/17 imagery with marked “anomalies.”

The most interesting bit is the Western U.S. “orbs launching orbs” case: multiple teams of federal law-enforcement special agents reportedly saw orange orbs appear briefly, emit smaller red orbs, then vanish, over two dusk sightings. A related account describes a large glowing orb near a rock pinnacle, later estimated by AARO at roughly 12–18 meters in diameter and about 1,050 meters away from observers.

Official release page

The official framing is careful: these are “unresolved cases,” not proof of extraterrestrials. The portal says unresolved can simply mean there is not enough data to identify the phenomenon, and that many materials have not yet been fully analyzed. More releases are expected every few weeks.

My read: high-symbolic disclosure, low-hard-evidence so far. Politically, it lets Trump/Hegseth say “we are opening the files.” Substantively, the first batch is more like: “Here are strange, under-analyzed reports and imagery, public can inspect them.” The edge signal is not “aliens confirmed,” but a new rolling public archive of unresolved cases, which could become interesting if later tranches include sensor data, full-motion video, metadata, chain-of-custody, or interagency disagreement.

NBC News reported this, tonight.

President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation, according to two U.S. officials.

Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in Saudi Arabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said.

A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue, the two U.S. officials said, forcing the president to pause Project Freedom in order to restore U.S. military access to the critical airspace.

This is significant, since US doesn't seem to have a plan C, therefore Trump is it's floatingg now the "one-page" memorandum of understanding as a "deal"🫤

An IDF soldier was seen placing a cigarette into the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary, in a Christian village in southern Lebanon, in a photo shared online on Wednesday.

After identifying the soldier, the Israel Defense Forces said he will be disciplined.

[...]

An initial inquiry conducted by the IDF found that the photo was taken in the village of Debel several weeks ago, although it was only shared online on Wednesday.

The incident joins several other occurrences in which footage has been published of Israeli soldiers - oftentimes by the troops themselves - destroying or looting property. Debel was the village where a soldier smashed a statue of Jesus last month, as well as where soldiers were seen in footage showing military excavators damaging solar panels.
