Elon Musk is infamous for his constant tweeting and this time, he has tweeted about his possible death. With the billionaire’s takeover of Twitter for $44 billion dominating headlines at the moment, Musk tweeted that he may die ‘under mysterious circumstances’ sparking a lot of chatter on the site.

"If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowin ya", the Tesla CEO tweeted.

However, the tweet did not go down well with his mother and former supermodel Maye Musk who was visibly angry with it and even replied to the tweet saying "That's not funny".

Musk was quick to apologise as he said “Sorry! I will do my best to stay alive".

The tweet from Musk comes only a day after he posted a note on Twitter where Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin accused him of&nbsp;associating with Nazis. Musk also said that Rogozin had sent a note to Russian media accusing him of arming “fascists”.

This was in connection to Musk’s decision to send Starlink hardware to maintain the internet connection in various Ukrainian cities during the ongoing conflict with Russia.

"From the testimony of the captured chief of staff of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it follows that the ground-based subscriber equipment of the Starlink satellite company Elon Musk was delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Mariupol by military helicopters," the note read.

"According to our information, the delivery and transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine of PO boxes for receiving and transmitting the Internet from Starlink was carried out by the Pentagon. Elon Musk is thus involved in the supply of fascist forces in Ukraine with military communications. And for this you will have to answer in an adult way, Elon, no matter how you turn on the fool," it added.

The subjects of gun ownership and gun violence have always been quite polarising in the United States and a new set of data shows quite an alarming problem when it comes to stolen guns.

A new data analysis, conducted by the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety, stated that more guns are being stoles from vehicles in the United States. This has given rise to the number of illegal firearms around the country and as shootings rise, this makes it difficult to trace the weapons.

According to the data, 180 cities around the country saw a rise in guns stolen from vehicles between 2019 and 2022. It also pointed out that vehicles are the major source of stolen guns at the moment.

In 2020 alone, around 77,000 guns were reported stolen in the 271 cities included in the study and almost half of them were taken from the vehicles of the gun owners. This is a relatively new trend in the US where burglaries were the main source of stolen guns for a very long stretch of time.

The data showed that the trend is more or less consistent in a number of states in the country and according to police records, a number of these stolen guns have turned up at various crime scenes.

The study did not offer any specific reason behind this trend but according to NBC News, the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to the rise of guns stolen from vehicles as most people were indoors and the cars were left unattended for a long time making it easier for the guns to be stolen.

More guns are being stolen out of cars in the United States, study finds

A major demand from Ukraine from the start of the Russian invasion has been an accelerated process to include them in the European Union. However, although western countries have helped them with ammunition and funds, the EU membership still remains a far-fetched dream.

France president Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that it can take decades before Ukraine becomes a member of the European Union. During his speech at the EU parliament, he suggested that Ukraine should consider joining a "parallel European community" in the meantime.

"We all know perfectly well that the process to allow [Ukraine] to join would take several years indeed, probably several decades," Macron said on Monday according to the BBC.

"That is the truth, unless we decide to lower the standards for accession. And rethink the unity of our Europe," he added while talking about the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There have been talks about accelerating the membership process but it seems unlikely considering the past record of the EU. Macron insisted that the introduction of another parallel organisation can be "a way of anchoring countries which are geographically in Europe and share our values."

Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky has asked for a special consideration from the EU and the Ukrainian authorities submitted the second part of their application on Monday.

However, the membership of the European Union is generally granted keeping a number of factors in mind like the economic and global standing of the nations but considering the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, there is a slight chance that the EU may decide to treat this as a special situation.

Top 10 news: Sri Lanka PM Mahinda Rajapaksa resigns, Bongbong Marcos to become Philippines president and more

Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos, the son of former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, is well on his way to complete a huge victory in the country’s presidential elections, according to an unofficial tally.

According to AFP who quoted local reports, the data provided by the Philippines Commission on Elections showed that Bongbong&nbsp;Marcos had a huge lead over his main rival Leni Robredo and with almost half of the 70,000 polling stations submitting their results, his victory is just a matter of time.

There were ten candidates in the Philippines elections this year who were looking to succeed President Rodrigo Duterte but Bongbong&nbsp;Marcos and Robredo emerged as the main contenders.

It has been around 35 years since his father was removed as the dictator following a popular revolution. However, according to the unofficial tally, the 64-year-old had 21.7 million votes as opposed to the 10.3 million votes for Leni Robredo, who has served as the vice president.

Two killed and 139 injured as government supporters attack protesters in Sri Lanka

There are a number of social media influencers who are quite young and although the internet has given them a lot of popularity and income, there are not many laws protecting them from exploitation. As a result, they face a considerable amount of risk when it comes to the payment received by them or in some cases, pressure from the parents to continue making content.

According to British MPs, there needs to be some sort of legislation that can protect the ‘kidfluencers’ from exploitation and also enforce proper regulations regarding sponsored content.

Julian Knight, the Conservative chair of the House of Commons digital, culture, media and sport committee, said that the growing number of influencers has made the situation even worse.

“The rise of influencer culture online has brought significant new opportunities for those working in the creative industries and a boost to the UK economy,” he said according to The Guardian.

“However, as is so often the case where social media is involved, if you dig below the shiny surface of what you see on screen you will discover an altogether murkier world where both the influencers and their followers are at risk of exploitation and harm online,” he added.

The report from the committee explained that the ‘kidfluencers’ need to be included in the UK child labour and performance regulations to make sure that they are not forced into the sector.

“We are deeply concerned that a lack of action in the booming influencer market will lead to even more children in the industry being exploited,” said the report submitted by the report.

It was a scene right out of an ‘end of the world’ movie as the sky turned red under a thick layer of fog in the Chinese city of Zhoushan. A number of videos were posted by the citizens of the city and there was considerable panic among them as the phenomenon is not common in the region.

There was a lot of chatter on the social media as many users called it ‘beautiful’ while others went on to call it ‘apocalyptic’. There were also mentions of a Japanese study in 2017 which said that a number of countries experienced a red sky back in 1770 due to a huge solar activity.
