1. Elon slams Trump mega-bill as “disgusting abomination” after farewell

X: Elon Musk.

  • “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,” Elon Musk said.

  • May: Musk fueled GOP criticism of Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill, saying it lacked deficit cuts.

  • Musk’s latest comments come just in a week after leaving the Trump admin.

  • The bill is estimated to increase budget deficits by $2.7T through 2034.

3. $TRUMP wallet announced by Magic Eden, but Trump sons deny involvement, threaten lawsuit

X: Magic Eden.

  • Wed.: Magic Eden, a crypto firm, announced the launch after the wallet appeared online.

  • “The Trump Organization has zero involvement with this wallet project,” Donald Trump Jr. posted on X following the website appearance.

  • The @TrumpWalletApp account on X was suspended after Trump’s sons’ comments.

  • Eric reportedly threatened legal action against Magic Eden over the project.

  • The $TRUMP memecoin project is separate to the Trump sons’ crypto project World Liberty Financial, so there is likely some internal competition going on here.

4. Manus unveils text-to-video service to rival OpenAI’s Sora, Google’s Veo3

X: ManusAI.
