Elon Musk its Person of the Year. True, that designation doesn't necessarily equate to a stamp of approval. But the magazine's coverage of Musk at the time was very favorable, almost fawning, highlighting his assertion that «my career is Mars and cars.» A lot of people would disagree with that declaration now. Of course, Tesla and SpaceX remain big businesses. But Musk himself is largely defined in many minds by the way he changed X, the site formerly known as Twitter — making more room for right-wing extremists, including a substantial number of pro-Nazi accounts, and his own embrace of antisemitic and racist conspiracy theories. Musk's right-wing turn isn't universal or even typical: Reporting suggests that even with the rightward turn of several boldface names, Silicon Valley remains heavily Democratic. Political contributions from the internet industry, in particular, remain strongly tilted toward Democrats. But right-wing tech bros are exerting a significant and, I'd argue, malign influence on the political landscape.

Donald Trump, the Republican Presidential candidate has been seen to be losing his grip in recent days, and has not focused very steadily on his Presidential campaign. Moreover, he seems to be one of those Presidential candidates, who may be very active throughout the campaign, and his essence is also very attracting, but he is yet to get footing in major battleground, which the former US President lost after Kamala Harris entered the Presidential race.

football season, Travis Kelce is feeling the heat over his Taylor Swift romance. When Travis Kelce stumbled on the football field, Taylor Swift was going to be held accountable for his poor performance somehow. On Monday, September 24, sports analyst Todd McShay joined the Ryen Russell Podcast and suggested that Taylor Swift was influencing Travis Kelce's performance. He stated that for weeks, every show he had watched, whether pregame, halftime, postgame, or broadcast, had made him wonder if it was wrong to point out that Kelce was not in good shape and had spent the offseason partying. McShay speculated that Kelce had been jetsetting with one of the world's most famous people. Although he didn't have to mention Swift by name, it is implied that the romance has kept him from paying attention to the football game. A photo taken in preseason 2022 and another in preseason 2024; they are hardly the same person, McShay went on. The bottom line with Kelce is this: while the athlete is not receiving the same level of respect and coverage.
