Amid the ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and his ex-closest ally Elon Musk, Chinese people have stormed social media with posts supporting the American billionaire as most of them were on Team Musk.All this ignited when Musk pledged to found a new political party, the American Party, if Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill passed the Senate. However, the US president's "big and beautiful bill" did pass the Senate on Tuesday.The bill is expected to increase the US national debt by $3.3 trillion. Musk has described the bill as "insane" and has vowed to unseat lawmakers who supported Trump's tax and spending measure.Hours after the bill passed the US Senate, the hashtag #MuskWantsToBuildAnAmericaParty went viral on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, similar to Musk's X, which received more than 37 million views.“If Elon Musk were to found a political party, his tech-driven mindset could inject fresh energy into politics. The potential for change is significant – and worth watching,” one of the Weibo users wrote.Another user in support of Musk wrote, “When you’ve had enough, there’s no need to keep putting up with it."One user even stressed that billions of people are supporting Musk against Trump. "Brother Musk, you’ve got over a billion people on our side backing you.”Musk is widely respected and honoured in China for his technological achievements as Tesla's electric vehicles are the only Western brand on the roads of China. Moreover, Tesla's biggest factory is located in Shanghai.Notably, Musk shares a good relationship with China's Premier Li Qiang. While, US President Trump is not that popular in China and people are not fond of him, with some claiming that he has launched the most aggressive trade war on China in recent history.'Trump, Musk grow up'Some of the users also wrote that Trump and Musk should grow up, stressing that they are arguing over the smallest things.“These two grown men argue nonstop over the smallest things – and the whole world ends up knowing about it,” wrote one user, while another joked: “Every day, Musk is basically live-streaming ‘How Billionaires Argue’”.&nbsp;

Elon Musk has been distancing himself from the Trump administration and appears to be making amends for his actions. The former DOGE chief has now apologised for wielding and waving a chainsaw at a Conservative Political Action Conference in February. Argentinian president Javier Milei presented Musk with the deadly tool, which the SpaceX CEO brandished in the air, apparently as a message that DOGE was going to cut down the federal government's budget massively. Now, Musk said in a comment on a post on X that he regretted holding the chainsaw and "running away" with it, and that it lacked empathy. "Milei gave me the chainsaw backstage and I ran with it, but, in retrospect, it lacked empathy," he wrote. Musk was responding to a post in which a user suggested that if he hadn't been "worried about looking cool" and had not acted like a "fool", he "could have gotten more done."&nbsp;<h2>Musk and DOGE massive fallout for the vulnerable</h2>&nbsp;What DOGE did had a huge fallout. Musk cut costs left, right and centre, and now the results of those actions are visible.

As US President Donald Trump's US Agency for International Development (USAID) funding cuts, former presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush have criticised the closure of USAID, in a video farewell for USAID staffers on its last day as an independent organisation.In a recorded message played in a video conference for USAID staffers on Monday, Obama said that dismantling the agency was “a colossal mistake”.“Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has secured a total of $10 billion in fresh funding, $5 billion in debt and $5 billion in equity as it ramps up efforts to expand its AI infrastructure and accelerate development of its flagship Grok platform, Morgan Stanley announced on June 30. The debt raise, structured through secured notes and term loans, was oversubscribed and attracted several prominent global debt investors, according to a statement shared by Morgan Stanley on social media platform X. In parallel, xAI closed a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment, underscoring growing interest in the AI sector despite early concerns about investor appetite.The proceeds from both the debt and equity deals will be channelled into developing advanced AI models, building one of the world’s largest data centres, and further expanding the capabilities of xAI’s Grok platform. The company’s flagship product, Grok, is deeply integrated into the X social media platform, which Musk owns. Founded in early 2023, xAI merged with X in March 2025 to more tightly align Musk’s AI ambitions with his broader ecosystem of tech ventures. The company began operating what it claims is the world’s largest supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, in December 2024.<h2>Valuation could cross $120 billion</h2>In addition to the latest capital infusion, xAI is reportedly in talks to raise up to $20 billion in further equity, which could push its valuation above $120 billion. Some investors are said to be valuing the company as high as $200 billion, reflecting the rapidly growing interest in next-generation AI infrastructure and tools.Morgan Stanley’s announcement comes amid intensifying competition among AI developers, as companies race to build more powerful models and data centres. With rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind making significant strides, xAI is positioning itself as a formidable challenger by aggressively scaling its resources.Musk recently teased the launch of Grok 4, an updated version of the AI model, expected shortly after the July 4 holiday. As the industry heats up, the new funding marks a pivotal moment for xAI in its mission to be at the forefront of artificial general intelligence development.

Billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk once again slammed the "Big Beautiful Bill" of the US President Donald Trump. Taking to his social media platform X, Musk reshared a poll on the bill and wrote, “Polls show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party." In a consecutive post, Musk called the bill “utterly insane and destructive.” “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” he wrote, adding that the bill was “utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”&nbsp;A screenshot of the poll, shared by Trump, said, "Elon Musk claims that this legislation is an outrageous pork-filled spending bill that will massively increase the budget deficit and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt." The poll, conducted by The Tarrance Group, showed that 58 per cent of the total voters in the November presidential election voted in agreement with Trump's bill. Meanwhile, 37 per cent disagree with it, and the first 5 per cent of the voters were unsure about it.

'Political suicide, split govt better': Musk continues tirade against Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Here's what he says now

Elon Musk launched a fresh wave of criticism against President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending legislation on June 28, calling the Senate’s revised 940-page bill “utterly insane and destructive”. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO warned that the legislation would lead to “immense strategic harm” and cost millions of American jobs. “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote on X. “It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”The Senate is working through the weekend in a race against time, as Republicans aim to pass the bill before Trump’s self-imposed Independence Day deadline. The newly released 940-page draft includes significant changes from the House version passed last month by a single vote. In a bid to satisfy budget rules and shore up wavering GOP (Grand Old Party) support, the updated bill features steeper cuts to Medicaid, reworked tax provisions, and modified timelines for phasing out clean energy subsidies.A central criticism of the bill, including from some Republicans, is its projected $3 trillion increase to the federal deficit over the next decade, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). While the GOP holds a majority in both chambers, the bill has sparked internal divisions, particularly over its deep spending cuts and subsidies for fossil fuel sectors, including a new credit for coal used in steel production.<h2>Musk’s energy interests in the crosshairs</h2>Musk’s criticism highlights the bill’s potential blow to clean energy sectors. The legislation includes provisions that would raise taxes on solar, battery, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy projects, areas central to Tesla’s energy business. He warned that the bill would undermine America’s future industries while artificially propping up outdated sectors like coal.One controversial inclusion: a subsidy for coal used in steel production. Simultaneously, the Senate version proposes a gradual rollback of clean energy tax credits, offering reduced incentives through 2027 before eliminating them entirely in 2028.Tesla produces battery storage systems and solar photovoltaic solutions, and Musk warned the bill could cripple innovation just as global demand for clean tech is growing. “This is political suicide for the Republican Party,” he later added, warning of long-term consequences.<h2>A feud rekindled</h2>Musk’s remarks come just weeks after a public fallout with President Trump, sparked by the tech magnate’s earlier denunciation of the bill as a “disgusting abomination”. Musk, a major GOP donor who once led the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), briefly reconciled with Trump after walking back some of his harsher posts.However, the comments suggest renewed tensions. Musk previously threatened to withhold political donations and called out lawmakers who supported the legislation, accusing them of betraying the American public.In a particularly heated exchange earlier this month, Musk insinuated Trump was connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, an allegation made without evidence. While both parties had attempted to move past the dispute, it remains unclear whether Musk’s latest broadside will rupture the uneasy peace.<h2>What else is inside the new draft?</h2>The latest version includes a swathe of policy changes designed to appease various GOP factions:Social security tax breaks: The Senate bill enhances tax deductions for seniors, raising the amount from $4,000 (in the House version) to $6,000. However, these benefits taper off for higher-income individuals.Medicaid overhaul: The Senate draft imposes the strictest-ever work requirements on enrollees, including adults with children aged 15 and over. It also reduces provider taxes from 6 per cent to 3.5 per cent by 2031, although a $25 billion rural hospital fund was added to placate critics.SNAP restrictions: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) would see new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults, and states would be required to contribute more funding.Overtime and tips tax relief: The Senate version retains the House’s promise to eliminate taxes on overtime pay and tips—a key Trump campaign pledge—but phases out the benefit for individuals earning over $150,000.Child tax credit: The Senate proposes a permanent increase to $2,200 (versus $2,500 in the House bill) and lowers eligibility thresholds by requiring only one parent to have a Social Security number.State and local tax (SALT) cap: To win over moderates, the cap on SALT deductions would rise from $10,000 to $40,000 for joint filers under $500,000 income, but only until 2030.<h2>Activist backlash</h2>Tesla shares fell 14 per cent following Musk’s initial attacks on the bill, as Trump hinted at reconsidering government contracts involving Musk’s companies.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries labelled it a “reckless, regressive and reprehensible GOP tax scam” and vowed to use it as campaign fodder in next year’s midterms.Trump, meanwhile, has taken to social media to push for swift passage: “It’s time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work and send this bill to my desk as soon as possible!”

Elon Musk says GOP megabill will destroy jobs and hurt innovation as the legislation proposes provisions that would raise taxes on solar, battery, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy projects.

Elon Musk launched a fresh wave of criticism against President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending legislation on June 28, calling the Senate’s revised 940-page bill “utterly insane and destructive”. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO warned that the legislation would lead to “immense strategic harm” and cost millions of American jobs. “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote on X. “It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.” The Senate is working through the weekend in a race against time, as Republicans aim to pass the bill before Trump’s self-imposed Independence Day deadline. The newly released 940-page draft includes significant changes from the House version passed last month by a single vote. In a bid to satisfy budget rules and shore up wavering GOP (Grand Old Party) support, the updated bill features steeper cuts to Medicaid, reworked tax provisions, and modified timelines for phasing out clean energy subsidies. A central criticism of the bill, including from some Republicans, is its projected $3 trillion increase to the federal deficit over the next decade, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). While the GOP holds a majority in both chambers, the bill has sparked internal divisions, particularly over its deep spending cuts and subsidies for fossil fuel sectors, including a new credit for coal used in steel production. Musk’s energy interests in the crosshairs Musk’s criticism highlights the bill’s potential blow to clean energy sectors. The legislation includes provisions that would raise taxes on solar, battery, wind, geothermal, and nuclear energy projects, areas central to Tesla’s energy business. He warned that the bill would undermine America’s future industries while artificially propping up outdated sectors like coal. One controversial inclusion: a subsidy for coal used in steel production. Simultaneously, the Senate version proposes a gradual rollback of clean energy tax credits, offering reduced incentives through 2027 before eliminating them entirely in 2028. Tesla produces battery storage systems and solar photovoltaic solutions, and Musk warned the bill could cripple innovation just as global demand for clean tech is growing. “This is political suicide for the Republican Party,” he later added, warning of long-term consequences. A feud rekindled Musk’s remarks come just weeks after a public fallout with President Trump, sparked by the tech magnate’s earlier denunciation of the bill as a “disgusting abomination”. Musk, a major GOP donor who once led the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), briefly reconciled with Trump after walking back some of his harsher posts. However, the comments suggest renewed tensions. Musk previously threatened to withhold political donations and called out lawmakers who supported the legislation, accusing them of betraying the American public. In a particularly heated exchange earlier this month, Musk insinuated Trump was connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, an allegation made without evidence. While both parties had attempted to move past the dispute, it remains unclear whether Musk’s latest broadside will rupture the uneasy peace. What else is inside the new draft?

Elon Musk slams Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ as Senate vote nears

One of Elon Musk's close confidants and a powerful executive at Tesla, Omead Afshar, has left the company. The high-level exit comes at a time when the electric car company is struggling amid uncertainty. Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The reason for his exit and his future plans were not clear. The news has circulated among some employees internally in recent days, added the report. Afshar's name no longer appeared in an internal directory.&nbsp;According to a Forbes report, Afshar, who was the head of operations in North America and Europe, was fired by Musk amid the declining sales in both regions and a decline in the popularity of the brand.&nbsp;Earlier in 2022, Afshar had been a subject of an internal investigation, according to Bloomberg. The probe focused on his orders of hard-to-get construction materials. This also included a special kind of glass for a secret project for Musk.&nbsp;After the investigation, Afshar worked for Musk's space company, SpaceX, but later returned to Tesla and was promoted to the vice president role.&nbsp;Afshar's X profile still says he works at Tesla. Earlier this week, he praised Musk after the company launched its pilot Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. He wrote on X, “Absolutely historic day for Tesla. This has been *years* of hard work and focus by so many people within the company. Thank you, Elon, for pushing us all!”&nbsp;Earlier this month, Tesla’s head of Optimus humanoid robotics program, Milan Kovac, resigned. In an X post, Kovac said that he was leaving to spend more time with his family.&nbsp;Tesla has seen a decline of 19 per cent in its stock price this year. The company's sales in Europe have fallen for a fifth straight month in May, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, or ACEA.&nbsp;The brand has also faced severe backlash this year due to Musk's political activities in the Trump administration and his work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).&nbsp;

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday (Jun 25) threatened to take legal action against Elon Musk’s SpaceX over falling debris and contamination from rocket launches across the border in the United States. During a press conference, Sheinbaum told reporters that the Mexican government was studying which international laws were being violated by the space company to file “the necessary lawsuits” as “there is indeed contamination”.&nbsp;On several occasions, SpaceX rocket explosions have resulted in debris washing up on Mexican beaches. Last week, a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded during a routine ground test at the Starbase headquarters in southern Texas, close to the Mexican border. &nbsp;Following the blast, a large fireball was seen erupting into the air, suggesting a setback to Musk’s dream of sending humans to Mars.&nbsp;Weeks before, debris from SpaceX’s Starship test flight reportedly washed up along the beaches in northern Mexico and parts of southern Texas, sparking concern among environmental groups. The debris included fragments of aluminium, plastic shards and several large tanks, said Conibio Global AC, a nonprofit environmental organisation.&nbsp;Sheinbaum added that Mexican officials are carrying out a “comprehensive review” of the environmental impacts of rocket launches in the bordering state of Tamaulipas.&nbsp;In early May, the US Federal Aviation Administration approved an increase in the annual for rocket launches for Musk’s space company from five to 25. It said that the increased frequency would not impact the environment adversely. The decision came despite conservative groups warning that the expansion could endanger sea turtles and shorebirds.&nbsp;The lawsuit would be the latest legal battle between Mexico and a US corporate giant. In May, Sheinbaum’s administration sued Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the ‘Gulf of America’ in their Google Maps application. The tech giant made the changes for US users after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to change its name.

The first human whose brain was implanted with &nbsp;Elon Musk's Neuralink chip is showing off more skills. Noland Arbaugh, from Arizona, says he can draw using just his mind, and also depicted the amazing feat. A diving accident left him paralysed below the shoulders in 2016. That same year, US neurotechnology firm Neuralink was launched. However, the first human tests were only allowed in 2023, and in January 2024, Noland became the first person to receive the brain chip implant. The brain-computer interface (BCI) chip is extremely small.Entrepreneur and author of Neuraleap: HOW BCI will redefine communication, business and governance, Velco Dar, talked to Noland recently and drew some lines with him. He shared the experience on X, saying he used a computer trackpad to draw on a shared canvas, while Noland controlled the cursor with his brain for the same."Last week I spoke to Noland Arbaugh &nbsp;@ModdedQuad about his journey &amp; his views on a BCI future. Then we drew some lines together on a shared canvas: him controlling the cursor using his thoughts (via @neuralink ), and me - the old school way, using a computer trackpad," Dar wrote. &nbsp;

Noland said in the interview that he is "not artistic at all". But he demonstrated how he uses the N1 chip to draw digital photos on screen. He controlled the cursor with his mind, and drew flowers, the sun and a house. Dar noted that it was incredible to see Noland move something using just his mind. Noland said that he sometimes forgets that what he does with his brain is not something people are used to seeing. “I forget that people haven’t seen this constantly. I think, 'Oh yeah, this is just my life, this is how I use it and what I do with it.'”He added, “I use it around people who’ve never seen it before, and their jaws drop.” Noland said that while trying to move the cursor, he imagines certain scenarios in his mind. He told Dar that he "clicks and drags" the cursor in his mind. Other actions he thinks about include "flicking his thumb out to the left, while the other is pinky out to the right." Earlier, Noland had shown himself playing chess, video games and learning languages.

Tesla’s long-awaited foray into autonomous ride-hailing began on June 22, in Austin, Texas, marking a pivotal moment in Elon Musk's ambitious vision for the future of transportation. A fleet of approximately 10 Model Y SUVs will operate in a geofenced area of the city, offering a limited, invitation-only robotaxi service to early testers.&nbsp;This marks the first real-world deployment of Tesla's autonomous driving technology, but the service will be heavily restricted. Trips will be unavailable in bad weather, and passengers under 18 will be excluded. Additionally, a Tesla safety monitor will sit in the front passenger seat during the initial phase of testing.Tesla plans to expand the service to up to 1,000 vehicles within months, with Musk teasing the eventual introduction of a fully autonomous “cybercab” that will operate without pedals or a steering wheel.&nbsp;However, Tesla has made it clear that safety will remain a priority, with Musk admitting to being “super paranoid” about the rollout’s potential risks. For now, the general public will have to wait as Tesla fine-tunes the technology.<h2>A gamble for Tesla’s future amid growing competition</h2>The robotaxi service is seen as a critical test for both Tesla’s self-driving capabilities and the company’s future business prospects. Investors are banking on autonomous vehicles as a key driver of Tesla’s next phase of growth. Wall Street analysts predict that if the service succeeds, it could push Tesla's market capitalisation to over $2 trillion by the end of next year.&nbsp;However, as Tesla enters the crowded autonomous vehicle space, it faces strong competition from Alphabet’s Waymo, which already operates a commercial robotaxi service in several US cities.Tesla is betting that its vision of using cameras alone, rather than the more commonly employed lidar and radar systems, will be both safer and more cost-effective. But the company is also acutely aware of the risks, having seen competitors like GM’s Cruise and Uber pull back from their own self-driving ambitions following incidents involving fatalities.<h2>Teleoperation and safety concerns</h2>As part of its cautious approach, Tesla will rely on a teleoperation system where remote operators can take control of the robotaxis in certain situations. This method, used by other autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo, allows humans to intervene when a vehicle encounters a scenario it cannot handle on its own.&nbsp;However, experts warn that teleoperation has inherent risks, particularly when it comes to cellular data connectivity, which could experience lag or drop entirely in crucial moments.“The technology may work for a small test deployment, but once scaled up, the risks become more significant,” Philip Koopman, a Carnegie Mellon University engineering professor and autonomous-vehicle safety expert, told Reuters. Tesla’s strategy will be closely scrutinised by regulators and safety advocates, especially as the company pushes for broader deployment.Despite these hurdles, the stakes for Tesla are high. The robotaxi service is poised to redefine the transportation landscape and could serve as a pivotal factor in Tesla’s efforts to maintain its leadership in the electric vehicle and AI-driven industries.

A SpaceX Starship prototype erupted into flames during a routine test at the company's facility in Tesla late Wednesday night (June 18). As it exploded, the rocket was seen bursting into a giant ball of fire during the test. The incident has raised concerns about the timeline for SpaceX's next launch attempt.The shocking video has been going viral on social media, showing the Starship 36 rocket, that was undergoing a static fire test at Elon Musk's Starbase site, and its nose suddenly burst open.Even there was a flash on the screen for a moment as the blast happened. As the light faded, a giant fireball spread across the ground while thick black smoke engulfed into the sky.This test is done as final systems check before flight. As it exploded, no injuries have been reported. &nbsp;"On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for," SpaceX said in a post on X.<h2>WATCH video here</h2>

"On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for," SpaceX said in a post on X. WATCH video here

Elon Musk has released the results of a drug test following claims that he had been using illegal substances during his involvement in Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.Last month, The New York Times published a report alleging that Musk, who was described as Trump’s biggest financial backer, had taken drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms. The report cited unnamed sources familiar with his behaviour.On Tuesday, Musk posted what he claimed were lab results on X, with a caption ‘LOL’. The test was conducted on 11 June by “Fastest Labs of South Austin” in Texas.According to the lab report, Musk tested negative for a range of substances, including amphetamines, MDMA (ecstasy), cocaine, ketamine, marijuana, and fentanyl.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">lol <a href="https://t.co/pMe3YfXFxS">pic.twitter.com/pMe3YfXFxS</a>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1934879919059947788?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h3>Only urine test conducted, not hair or blood analysis</h3>The lab results Musk shared only show the outcome of a urine test. Experts note that urine tests are limited in scope, they can only detect drugs used in the past few days.In comparison, hair follicle tests can detect drug use over a longer period, often up to 90 days, while blood and saliva tests have different detection windows.This means that Musk’s test results do not necessarily disprove allegations of past drug use, particularly claims of drug-taking earlier in 2024.<h2>Musk denies chronic drug use allegations</h2>Responding to the original allegations, Musk stated, “I tried prescription ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.” He also accused the New York Times of “lying.”The newspaper’s report alleged that Musk kept various pills in a daily medication box and described his ketamine use as “chronic”, even claiming it caused bladder issues.<h2>Musk–Trump tensions deepen over drug claims</h2>The timing of the drug allegations coincided with Musk’s departure from the White House, following a 130-day stint as “DOGE leader."Soon after, Musk and Trump began clashing publicly, with Musk criticising Trump’s legislative efforts and accusing him of being linked to Jeffrey Epstein.Musk wrote on X, “Trump is in the Epstein files… the real reason they haven’t been released.” Trump denied the accusation.In private, Trump reportedly called Musk a “Big-Time drug addict”, according to a Washington Post report. However, when asked by reporters whether he had seen Musk take drugs, Trump replied, “I don’t think so. I hope not. I wish him well.”A few days later, Musk appeared to soften his tone. He wrote, “I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far.”

According to the lab report, Musk tested negative for a range of substances, including amphetamines, MDMA (ecstasy), cocaine, ketamine, marijuana, and fentanyl.
