Trump: By sea, by ocean, by water. A lot of people say, “what do you mean by sea? Is it see? Like vision?” No, it’s sea, SEA.

A LOT of people are dunking on Elon for this. They are making a big mistake. I dislike Elon, but this is a silly attack. Common sense should have stopped people from making it. Common sense is in short supply. Folks are claiming that when "Maye Musk's" tweet refers to "your mom," "she's" referring to Elon's mom, which is, of course, herself, which would be pretty weird. So, they conclude Elon must be using alt accounts. According to this theory, when Elon sent the tweet, he thought he was logged into his dad's account, which is why he was referring to "your mom," but he accidentally logged into his mom's account and ended up looking foolish. Superficially plausible, except for one giant flaw... According to this theory, "your mom," Elon's mom, Maye Musk, was "cleaning toilets in a Liverpool boarding house as a child." But Maye Musk was born in Canada and grew up in South Africa! Maye Musk was never cleaning Liverpool toilets! Who was cleaning toilets? Elon's DAD's mom. His paternal grandmother. His grandmother (Cora Robinson) grew up in Liverpool! In other words, when Maye Musk refers to "your mom," it's a typo, and she's clearly referring to "your dad's mom," who is the only one of the two of them who grew up in Liverpool! This is all very obvious once you look at their bios, but people who don't like Musk want to believe the worst of him, so they jumped on the story. I admit, my first reaction was glee, "Aha, silly Elon, this is awesome," but I knew I had to double-check before tweeting a dunk. And immediately the theory fell apart. I wouldn't bother writing this long clarification, but Maye Musk's tweet has received hundreds of replies making fun of Elon's supposed error. I've also seen big accounts spreading this story. Be careful out there, people. Don't spread misinformation!

Russia did not manage to hold a ceasefire initiated by #Ukraine even for 10 minutes. The ceasefire, that was supposed to start at 00.00 hours on the night from May 5 to May 6 was violated by aggressor’s blatant attacks. Yet another eye-opener for the world of Russia‘s true terrorist and genocidal intentions. No-one shall believe Russia has ever been serious to end its war of aggression against Ukraine and to comply with the norms and principles of international law. There is only one way to end all this nightmare – to step up our support to Ukraine, its defence, macro-economic stability and resilience, and to increase our collective pressure on the aggressor, Russia – through further sanctions, through even deeper international isolation, and through eventual accountability and reparations. #Lithuania stands with Ukraine and its people, as we did so since the beginning of the aggression in February 2014.



Hegseth: As I've said before, the world needs this waterway a lot more than we do. We expect the world to step up. At the appropriate time, and soon, we will hand responsibility back to you.
