  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s X Sued For $20 Million In Shares By Ex-Twitter Chairman |

    New York: Billionaire Elon Musk-run X social media platform has been sued by a former Twitter board member for $20 million. Omid Kordestani, former Twitter (now called X) executive chairman, has sued the social media platform, claiming that Musk refused to cash out more than $20 million worth of shares that belong to him, according to reports.

    Reports further said that Kordestani had received most of his compensation in stock but after Musk bought the company, he allegedly refused to pay him for those shares, according to the lawsuit.

    Musk or X were yet to comment on the lawsuit filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco. Kordestani had joined Twitter’s board in 2015. He supervised the sale of the company to Musk in October 2022.

    According to the lawsuit, the X platform “seeks to reap the benefits of Kordestani’s seven years of service to Twitter without paying him for it”.
    The Musk-run platform “refuses to meet those obligations, adding to a long list of unpaid bills accruing under Musk’s watch,” the lawsuit added.

    Earlier, Parag Agrawal, former CEO of Twitter (now called X), and three other employees sued Elon Musk for about $128 million in unpaid severance. Agrawal, along with ex-chief financial officer Ned Segal, former Twitter head of legal and policy Vijaya Gadde and former Twitter General Counsel, Sean Edgett, filed the lawsuit.

    The lawsuit claimed that the Tesla CEO showed “special ire” towards them by “publicly vowing to withhold their severance payments of around $200 million”, when he took over Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion.

    According to earlier reports, the three top executives had an exit package of more than $100 million when they left the company.

  • Elon Musk’s Trans Daughter Makes Bold Claims About Billionaire, Ex-Girlfriend Shows Support For Vivian |

    New Delhi: Tesla Chief Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has launched a fresh attack on the SpaceX CEO, days after alleging that she was “killed” by the “woke mind virus.”

    Vivian, who came out as trans at 18, also dropped the surname ‘Musk.’ She stated that the 53-year-old “just won’t stop lying” about her and lives in his “own delusional fantasy land.”

    This attack came out after the Tesla CEO shared a photo of himself with his kids on X and wrote, “All 5 boys super happy.” On the X’s rival platform Threads, Vivian defamed her father and said how he has been attempting an image makeover in a bid to gain favour in conservative Christian circles.

    Adding further, Vivian Jenna Wilson also claimed that he cheated on all of his partners and had lied about her several times in interviews in an attempt to make himself look better.  

    In another post on X, Musk stated that Wilson was “born gay and slightly autistic,” and by the age of 4, she adored musicals and exclaimed “fabulous!” to describe his jacket. 

    Meanwhile, Musk’s ex-girlfriend singer-songwriter Grimes also gave a shoutout to Vivian. In July, she took to X and wrote, “I love and am forever, endlessly proud of Vivian.” 

    It is important to note that the 20-year-old legally changed her name and gender at the age of 18. This legal transition occurred on June 22, 2022, at a court in California. 

    She also questioned his climate change claims and his space exploration programs. She wrote on the social media platform, “You are not ‘saving the planet’, you do not give a f*** about climate change and you’re lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One.” 

    Notably, the world’s richest man recently claimed in an interview that he was deceived into signing documents for his older child, Vivian Jenna Wilson, during the pandemic. He stated, “My son is dead,” and referred to gender-reassignment surgery as “child mutilation and sterilization.”

    After purchasing X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2022, Musk faced allegations of turning the platform into a “toxic” space for LGBTQ+ users by eliminating several inclusive policies, including the ban on deadnaming and misgendering individuals. 

  • Elon Musk Denies Claims of Offering Sperm to Colonize Mars In Next 20 Years- Details Here |

    New Delhi: Elon Musk has denied rumors that he offered his sperm to help start a colony on Mars. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO went on X (formerly Twitter) to reject a recent New York Times report that made this claim.

    Musk made a statement via X and wrote, “I have not, for what it’s worth, ‘volunteered my sperm.’” He further clarified that while colonizing Mars remains a long-term goal, SpaceX is currently focused on achieving the fundamental challenge of reaching the red planet. Furthermore, he said, “No one at SpaceX has been directed to work on a Mars city. When people have asked to do so, I’ve said we need to focus on getting there first.”

    According to a report in The New York Times, Elon Musk has offered to donate his sperm to help colonize Mars as SpaceX aims to reach the planet. Musk, 53, has asked SpaceX employees over the past year to start designing a city on Mars. He has also instructed SpaceX staff to create spacesuits, plan dome homes, and research if humans can reproduce on Mars.

    Musk reportedly hopes to establish a self-sufficient Martian colony and may even bioengineer new species to thrive there. His suggestions include using solar panels for energy and utilizing thermonuclear explosions to warm the planet.

    Adding further, a medical team is studying whether people could have children on Mars. The Times reported that billionaire Elon Musk is interested in creating his own species on the planet. These plans might involve Musk using his sperm to help start a colony. However, it’s still uncertain if humans can reproduce on Mars. Elon Musk has previously stated that it could take 40 to 100 years to establish a self-sustaining civilization on the red planet.

    Adam Watkins, associate professor of reproductive biology at the University of Nottingham, said that “studies have shown that you can send freeze-dried sperm into space sealed, like freeze-dried coffee effectively,” as reported by Business Insider.

    Adding further, he explained that “You would then do something like IVF with those sperm and eggs and transfer the embryos into females who are already established at the other end,” such as in a Mars settlement.

    Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to colonize Mars faces several challenges, including barren landscapes, frigid temperatures, dust storms, and an unbreathable atmosphere. Unlike NASA, which aims to send humans to Mars in the 2040s, Musk aspires to achieve this milestone much sooner.
