The complainers didn't build the country. These people built the country, whether it's fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me. They built the country.”Unprompted, he went on to attack Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), the first Somali American to serve in Congress, and immigrants in her state — a now familiar rant.“Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia.

It is unclear who erected the shirtless 40-foot blow-up figure, but WIRED reported that event organizers wanted to draw attention to the SpaceX CEO's AI bot Grok ahead of SpaceX going public Friday.Sprawled across the effigy's bare stomach and back were tattoos stating: "SpaceX's Grok makes AI Child porn." Another tattoo on the effigy's arm features a heart with the words "ketamine" written across it. Prosecutors in Paris have been investigating claims that child sex abuse material has proliferated on Musk's media platform, X. And a U.K. lawmaker last week said she is suing Musk over Grok's deepfakes of her in a bikini. The "ketamine" tattoo appears to be a reference to reports that have surfaced since last year about Musk's alleged drug use.Key MomentTrump Lauds Supposed Iran Peace Deal, But Will Be Oddly Absent For SigningPresident Donald Trump opened a signing ceremony in the Oval Office by stating his administration had “just made a great settlement” in the Iran war — but he suggested he would not be able to travel to the signing.“The Strait [of Hormuz] will officially open when we sign, which could be soon, very soon,” Trump said, speaking with low energy. “Maybe over the weekend.
