Elon Musk pledged that his social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), will pay legal bills of those people who were "unfairly treated" at workplaces by their employers for posts and likes on the platform
He added that there would be "no limit" to funding the bills and called on people to inform the platform of such cases.
In late October 2022, Musk finalized the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. Twitter Corporation ceased to exist as a separate company as a result of its merger with X Corp. founded by Musk in 2006.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 The US and Russia should avoid any nuclear threat rhetoric and enter a serious dialogue on risk reduction, US think tank head Daryl Kimball told Sputnik, reflecting on the lessons to be learnt from the first and only use of nuclear weapons in world history in 1945
Kimball called the two anniversaries "solemn reminders" that any threats to use nuclear weapons are unacceptable. He also pointed out the destructive power of nuclear weapons.
💬 "If a Russian or US President were to use nuclear weapons in a conflict in Europe today, for any reason, there is no guarantee it would not escalate and eventually involve the use of hundreds of nuclear weapons, many times more powerful than those that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki" Kimball said.

The situation around Taiwan has aggravated as the Chinese leadership thinks that US President Joe Biden is "incompetent," Donald Trump said
The former president claimed that the Chinese leader "has no respect for our country anymore," adding that Xi "respected our country so much" during Trump's presidential term.
Tensions over Taiwan significantly increased last August after then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Taipei despite Beijing's warnings against such a visit.

Kiev’s allies from the Western countries are “getting tired of the Ukrainian counteroffensive,” US analyst Johnston Harewood has argued
In an article for an American media outlet, he noted that it is becoming “increasingly difficult” for Western officials to conceal their irritation when it comes to the issues regarding Ukraine, not least its counteroffensive, which is “not progressing as originally envisioned.”
According to Harewood, those foreign partners of Ukraine who previously expressed strong support for Kiev, “are gradually changing their rhetoric, backing it up with difficult decisions for the Ukrainian government."
