With the US Presidential elections around the corner, billionaire Elon Musk's interview with Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday has irked the United Auto Workers Union. Watch in for more details!

UAW files labour complaints against Trump and Musk after threatening workers on X interview

<p>Former United States president Donald Trump on Tuesday (Aug 13) reacted to the claims of his supposed ‘slurring’ during the interview with billionaire Elon Musk on X platform. The Republican presidential candidate&nbsp;admitted that his voice was distorted but blamed it on technical issues.</p>

<p>In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump thanked Musk for a ‘strong endorsement’ but blamed the distortion of his voice on the “complexity of modern day equipment, and cellphone technology.”</p>

<p>“Unfortunately, because of the complexity of modern day equipment, and cellphone technology, my voice was, in certain areas, somewhat different and strange. Therefore, we have put out an actual, and perfect, recording of the conversation. ENJOY!!!” Trump wrote.</p>

<p>Earlier, Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris' campaign had pointed out that the former president&nbsp;was ‘lisping and slurring’ his words during the interview. The Trump campaign had earlier dismissed the allegations, saying: “It must be your ears.”</p>

<p>Several users also pointed out issues with Trump’s voice during the interview.</p>

<p>“Why does [Donald Trump] have a terrible ‘lisp’ in the [Elon Musk] X interview?” wrote one user. “Someone needs to adjust that microphone ASAP.”</p>

<p>Another wrote, “Is it just me… What is wrong with Trump’s voice?” “Sound like he has a lisp?”</p>

<p>“Trump got hit by the CIA lisp gun” posted a third.</p>

<p>The interview, which was held Monday on X, was marred by several glitches and tech issues. The discussion started 45 minutes late and users were unable to access the live-streaming link.</p>

Trump blames ‘complex technology’ for ‘strange’ voice during X interview with Musk

<p>In an interesting study, a job interview question has been found to have the potential to detect liars and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also been using this question.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2017, Musk said that he had posed the same interview question to all his candidates. The question is "Tell me about some of the most difficult problems you worked on and how you solved them."</p>

<p>He had claimed that this question helped him in catching the liars and now a study has backed his method.</p>

<p>The question falls under the 'Asymmetric Information Management' (AIM) interview technique which has been designed to provide interviewee with a way to demonstrate they are speaking the truth by telling in detail about their experience.</p>

<p>In the study, which was published in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, different ways for spotting liars with the help of the job interviewing technique have been explained.</p>

<h2><strong>What answer determines if the candidate is telling the truth?</strong></h2>

<p>If the applicant answers the open-ended question of Musk with a specific and detailed response, it is most likely they are telling the truth.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Small details are the lifeblood of forensic investigations and can provide investigators with facts to check and witnesses to question," said Cody Porter, who is one of the authors of the study, in an article.</p>

<p>"If they provide longer, more detailed statements about the event of interest, then the investigator will be better able to detect if they are telling the truth or lying. In contrast, liars wish to conceal their guilt," explained Porter.</p>

Elon Musk has a classic job interview question, experts say THIS can catch liars

<p>The United Auto Workers (UAW) Union has taken formal action against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, filing complaints with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) over alleged attempts to intimidate workers. The union claims that both Trump and Musk made statements suggesting they would fire employees engaged in protected concerted activities, including striking.</p>

<p>The controversy stems from a two-hour conversation between Trump and Musk broadcast on the social media platform X on Monday. During the exchange, Trump praised Musk's cost-cutting abilities, saying, "You're the greatest cutter. I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you just say: 'You want to quit?' They go on strike - I won't mention the name of the company - but they go on strike. And you say: 'That's okay, you're all gone.'" Musk chuckled but did not directly respond to Trump's comments.</p>

<p>UAW President Shawn Fain strongly condemned the remarks, stating, "Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It's disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns." The union emphasised that under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so violates the National Labor Relations Act.</p>

<p>The complaints come at a politically charged time, with the UAW having recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. The union is encouraging its nearly 400,000 members to support Harris over Trump, particularly in battleground states like Michigan that could prove decisive in November.</p>

<p>In response to the UAW's action, Musk took to social media to criticise Fain, alluding to past union presidents who were imprisoned for bribery and corruption. Meanwhile, Trump's campaign dismissed the complaint as a "frivolous lawsuit" and a "shameless political stunt," asserting that Trump's proposed policies, including a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, would strengthen the industry.</p>

<p>The NLRB, which has limited power to punish unlawful labour practices, could potentially order employers to cease and desist from such conduct and post notices informing workers of their rights. However, the process often takes years to resolve. Wilma Liebman, former NLRB chair under President Obama, suggested that the UAW's action serves both political and organising purposes beyond seeking specific remedies.</p>

<p>This is not the first time Musk has faced scrutiny from the NLRB. His companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, have been involved in multiple labour disputes. In March, a U.S. appeals court upheld an NLRB decision that Musk illegally threatened Tesla employees in a 2018 tweet regarding unionisation and stock options.</p>

<p>The UAW's complaints highlight ongoing tensions between labour groups and high-profile figures in business and politics. Sean O'Brien, president of the Teamsters union, characterised the notion of firing workers for organising and striking as "economic terrorism."</p>

<p>As the 2024 presidential race heats up, the role of union support remains crucial. In the 2020 election, 62% of Michigan households with a union member voted for Joe Biden, contributing to his victory in the state. The UAW's recent actions underscore the continued importance of labour issues in shaping political allegiances and electoral outcomes.</p>

UAW files labour complaints against Trump and Musk

<p>JK Rowling always has a way to find herself in the eye of a raging controversy and this time its related to Algerian boxer and newly crowned champion Imane Khelif who won at recently concluded Paris Olympics 2024. After Imane won, many celebrities including JK Rowling and X owner Elon Musk were named in a criminal complaint over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment”.</p>

<p>Reported by Variety, Nabil Boudi who is a Paris-based attorney of Khelif confirmed that both Elon Musk and JK Rowling have been mentioned in a complaint over online hate directed towards the Olympic champion.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the lawsuit for?</strong></h2>

<p>The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons. That “ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people,” including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, said Boudi. The complaint mentions famously controversial figures.</p>

<p>Also since the complaint is against X, celebrities like Donald Trump will also be questioned because he posted on X against Imane’s win.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Imane Khelif won the Olympic gold medal in the women’s 66 kilogram boxing competition. Her participation and then subsequent win was a topic of discussion as people mentioned about gender eligibility. Despite being born female and not identifying as transgender or intersex — and being backed by the International Olympic Committee, who asserted “scientifically, this is not a man fighting a woman”, Imane Khelif was accused of cheating her way to win.</p>

<h2><strong>What was the furore against Imane Khelif's&nbsp;win?</strong></h2>

<p>Netizens targetted the Olympian and called her ineligible because she looked “manly” and “masculine” than her counterparts.&nbsp;Controversy erupted after Italy’s Angela Carini pulled out of her Round of 16 bout against Khelif after only 46 seconds. She cried and said that she had “never been hit so hard” in her life.</p>

<p>As for JK Rowling, she posted on X, a picture from Khelif’s fight with Italian boxer Angela Carini, accusing the former of being a man who was “enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>After JK Rowling posted this, she faced a barrage of comments ranging from how she had a myopic vision and that she was always looking for controversies. The novelist then again took to X and posted, "For the record, bombarding me with pictures of athletic women to ‘teach’ me that women don’t all look like Barbie is like spamming me with pics of differently-shaped potatoes to prove rocks are edible. I can still see the difference and you look frankly bonkers."</p>

The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/Q5SbKiksXQ — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 1, 2024 × After JK Rowling posted this, she faced a barrage of comments ranging from how she had a myopic vision and that she was always looking for controversies. The novelist then again took to X and posted, "For the record, bombarding me with pictures of athletic women to ‘teach’ me that women don’t all look like Barbie is like spamming me with pics of differently-shaped potatoes to prove rocks are edible. I can still see the difference and you look frankly bonkers." For the record, bombarding me with pictures of athletic women to ‘teach’ me that women don’t all look like Barbie is like spamming me with pics of differently-shaped potatoes to prove rocks are edible. I can still see the difference and you look frankly bonkers. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 7, 2024 × Elon Musk, meanwhile, shared a post from swimmer Riley Gaines that claimed “men don’t belong in women’s sports.” The X owner co-signed the message by writing: “Absolutely.” Trump posted a message with a picture from the fight with Carina. He wrore, “I will keep men out of women’s sports!” Imane Khelif’s attorney claimed that while the lawsuit was filed in France, “it could target personalities overseas,” pointing out that “the prosecutor’s office for combating online hate speech has the possibility to make requests for mutual legal assistance with other countries.” Also read: Tabu's first look from Dune: Prophecy unveiled, actress reveals she said 'yes without batting an eyelid'

<p>Elon Musk's highly anticipated interview with former President Donald Trump commenced with the conversation by asking Trump about the assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally last month.</p>

<p>"I didn't know I had that much blood," Trump remarked about the shooting, adding that it was the "best alternative you could think of," considering he wasn't more seriously injured.</p>

<p>“I’m a believer, now. I’m more of a believer in God, I think,” Trump said.</p>

<p>Trump further claimed that he was targeted because of his stance on immigration.</p>

US presidential election: After Donald Trump, Elon Musk invites Kamala Harris for online discussion on X

<p>Former US President Donald Trump has once again dismissed the threat of climate change, saying that rising sea levels would lead to more oceanfront properties being developed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump was speaking to&nbsp;Elon Musk on Monday (Aug 12) on X (formerly Twitter) when he made the rather bizarre comment which reiterated his campaign policy regarding climate change.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years," Trump told Musk.</p>

<p>"You'll have more oceanfront property, right? The biggest threat is not that. The biggest threat is nuclear warming, because we have five countries now that have significant nuclear power, and we have to not allow anything to happen with stupid people like Biden."</p>

<p>It is not the first instance when Trump has sidestepped the conversation around global warming. After the first presidential debate, Trump criticised Joe Biden for the latter's claim that the "only existential threat to humanity is climate change".&nbsp;</p>

<p>“He [Biden] said it again last night, that global warming is an existential threat. And I say that the thing that’s an existential threat is not global warming, where the ocean will rise – maybe, it may go down, also – but it may rise one-eighth of an inch in the next 497 years, they say.

Former US President Donald Trump has once again dismissed the threat of climate change, saying that rising sea levels would lead to more oceanfront properties being developed.

Former US President Donald Trump has once again dismissed the threat of climate change, saying that rising sea levels would lead to more oceanfront properties being developed. Trump was speaking to Elon Musk on Monday (Aug 12) on X (formerly Twitter) when he made the rather bizarre comment which reiterated his campaign policy regarding climate change. "The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years," Trump told Musk. "You'll have more oceanfront property, right? The biggest threat is not that. The biggest threat is nuclear warming, because we have five countries now that have significant nuclear power, and we have to not allow anything to happen with stupid people like Biden." It is not the first instance when Trump has sidestepped the conversation around global warming. After the first presidential debate, Trump criticised Joe Biden for the latter's claim that the "only existential threat to humanity is climate change". “He [Biden] said it again last night, that global warming is an existential threat. And I say that the thing that’s an existential threat is not global warming, where the ocean will rise – maybe, it may go down, also – but it may rise one-eighth of an inch in the next 497 years, they say. One-eighth," said Trump at a rally in Virginia. Watch | Trump rally shooting: Elon Musk condemns attack endorses Trump What does data suggest?

'More oceanfront property, right?': Trump dismisses climate change threat leading to sea-level rise

<p>Former United States president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt last month, said on Monday (Aug 12) that he would go back in October to the same place where he was shot.</p>

<p>Trump was shot on July 13 while he was addressing a rally in&nbsp;Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter, identified as Thomas Crooks, was shot dead by Secret Service agents. Trump was not seriously wounded but was injured in his right ear.</p>

<h2><strong>'We're going back to Butler...'</strong></h2>

<p>During a social media discussion with billionaire Elon Musk on X, Trump said on Monday, "...we're going back to&nbsp;Butler&nbsp;and we're going to come back in October. We're all set up and the people are fantastic in&nbsp;Butler. It's a big, it's a great area."</p>

<p>The discussion on X was hit by a massive cyber attack. Musk blamed the difficulties&nbsp;on a distributed denial-of-service attack, a type of cyber attack in which a server or network is flooded with traffic in an attempt to shut it down, though his claim was not confirmed.</p>

<p>More than 1 million people were listening as the conversation started, according to a counter on X.</p>

<p>Talking about the day when he was shot, Trump said there was a small group of people behind him and his team in the grandstand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And you look at it as it was taking place and normally they'd be running. They didn't leave, they saw that I was hurt. They saw a lot of blood and they saw that I went down. And it's almost like they wanted to be with me," the Republican presidential candidate added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>A warning by local police before assassination attempt</strong></h2>

<p>Last week, the Secret Service's Acting Director Ronald Rowe said that&nbsp;local police in Pennsylvania warned that there was a man with a gun on a roof before the July 13 attempted assassination of&nbsp;Donald&nbsp;Trump, but the message did not reach its agents on time.</p>

Elon Musk a ‘teenager on the bus with no headphones’, should face ‘arrest warrant’, says ex-Twitter chief

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidS25G6jR41NYL" /></p>

<p>Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), a tech industry&nbsp;counter-terrorism organisation, has expressed concerns over content posted on Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) by Hamas and is worried about the social media platform's membership on its board.</p>

<p>According to a report by The Sunday Times, on Monday (Aug 12), the GIFCT believed&nbsp;that the group's credibility was undermined by&nbsp;X's membership and position on its board. X has not yet reacted to this development.</p>

<p>Microsoft, Facebook, and YouTube are part of the GIFCT and X is a founding member of the organisation. The GIFCT was created in 2017 under pressure from the United States (US) and European countries.</p>

<h2><strong>'The easiest social media platform to find Hamas videos'</strong></h2>

<p>Citing the&nbsp;Community Security Trust (CST), The Sunday Times report said that X was now the easiest&nbsp;social media platform to find Hamas videos. The report added that within 10 minutes,&nbsp;researchers were able to find X propaganda videos from UK government-proscribed terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.</p>

<p>Earlier, a statement in the GIFCT's independent advisory committee annual 2023 report had expressed concerns over online trust and safety directed at X.</p>

<p>The advisory body said&nbsp;it had become "increasingly concerned by significant reductions in online trust and safety capabilities for certain platforms, and a perceived decrease in the priority of the issue, negatively impacting companies' ability to moderate extremist content online."</p>

<h2><strong>'Musk let banned extremists back on X'</strong></h2>

<p>The Sunday Times report also alleged that&nbsp;Musk&nbsp;had let banned extremists back on to X, allowed anyone to pay for a verification mark and sacked a large part of its content moderation team. The report added this was part of his strategy of turning X into a "free speech"&nbsp;platform.</p>

Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), a tech industry counter-terrorism organisation, has expressed concerns over content posted on Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) by Hamas and is worried about the social media platform's membership on its board.

Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), a tech industry counter-terrorism organisation, has expressed concerns over content posted on Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) by Hamas and is worried about the social media platform's membership on its board. According to a report by The Sunday Times, on Monday (Aug 12), the GIFCT believed that the group's credibility was undermined by X's membership and position on its board. X has not yet reacted to this development. Microsoft, Facebook, and YouTube are part of the GIFCT and X is a founding member of the organisation. The GIFCT was created in 2017 under pressure from the United States (US) and European countries. 'The easiest social media platform to find Hamas videos' Citing the Community Security Trust (CST), The Sunday Times report said that X was now the easiest social media platform to find Hamas videos. The report added that within 10 minutes, researchers were able to find X propaganda videos from UK government-proscribed terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The advisory body said it had become "increasingly concerned by significant reductions in online trust and safety capabilities for certain platforms, and a perceived decrease in the priority of the issue, negatively impacting companies' ability to moderate extremist content online." 'Musk let banned extremists back on X' The Sunday Times report also alleged that Musk had let banned extremists back on to X, allowed anyone to pay for a verification mark and sacked a large part of its content moderation team. The report added this was part of his strategy of turning X into a "free speech" platform. These above developments come days after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro banned X from his country for 10 days amid a furore over the July 28 disputed presidential election.

Venezuela President blocks social media platform X for 10 days

<p>The United Auto Workers (UAW) president, Shawn Fain, has levelled a scathing attack on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's close ties with billionaire Elon Musk while actively campaigning for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.</p>

<p>Fain's criticisms come at a time of heightened political tensions, with the upcoming November election looming large. The UAW leader's strategic decision to align with Harris and denounce Trump's association with Musk is a clear indication of the union's priorities and the importance it places on maintaining a strong relationship with the Democratic party.</p>

<p>During his campaign appearances, Fain did not mince his words when addressing Trump's relationship with Musk. "For months, Donald Trump has gone around trashing our state, trashing our industry, trashing the American autoworker, saying he was against electric vehicles. And then something happened," Fain said, citing reports that Musk had planned to commit around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super political-action committee.</p>

<p>Fain's remarks were a direct reference to the Wall Street Journal's report, which suggested that Musk was poised to provide substantial financial support to Trump's political endeavours. However, both Musk and Trump later refuted the claims, stating that the Tesla CEO had never pledged any such donation.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, Fain seized the opportunity to attack Trump, labelling him a "sellout" and accusing the former president of changing his tune on electric vehicles after Musk's alleged endorsement. "And all of a sudden, guess what, Trump changed his tune," Fain said, highlighting the perceived hypocrisy in Trump's stance on the electric vehicle industry.</p>

<p>Trump's history of opposition to electric car mandates and criticism of EV policies under the Biden administration has been well-documented. However, in a recent rally, the former president claimed to be "for electric cars," attributing his newfound support to Musk's endorsement. "I'm for electric cars. I have to be, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice," Trump stated, though he added that he still supports other types of vehicles, including gas-powered and hybrid cars.</p>

<p>Fain's scathing critique of Trump's relationship with Musk is a strategic move by the UAW to align itself with the Democratic party and, more specifically, Harris, who recently became the Democratic presidential candidate after Biden stepped aside. The union's endorsement of Harris is a clear indication of its desire to maintain a strong partnership with the Democratic administration, which it believes will be more favourable to the interests of autoworkers.</p>

Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has sued a global advertising group and several major companies, including Mars and CVS Health. The lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court, accuses the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), Unilever, Orsted, Mars, and CVS Health of unlawfully conspiring to boycott X, leading to substantial revenue losses.

Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has sued a global advertising group and several major companies, including Mars and CVS Health. The lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court, accuses the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), Unilever, Orsted, Mars, and CVS Health of unlawfully conspiring to boycott X, leading to substantial revenue losses. A conspiracy? X claims that these advertisers, through the WFA's Global Alliance for Responsible Media initiative, collectively withheld "billions of dollars in ad revenue" from the social media giant. The lawsuit argues this action was a conspiracy that violated US antitrust law, and claims that the companies acted against their economic interests to harm X.

No small group of people should monopolize what gets monetised". Why is X suing advertisers now? After Musk took over Twitter, now X, in 2022, the company saw a significant decline in its ad revenue. It has been widely reported that advertisers were wary of their brands appearing next to harmful content that might not have been removed under Musk's leadership. According to Christine Bartholomew, an antitrust expert and professor at the University at Buffalo's law school, proving unlawful boycotts can be challenging. In a conversation with Reuters, Bartholomew said that X must show there was an explicit agreement to boycott the platform.

Even if X does succeed in this near impossible task, it cannot force companies to spend ad revenue on the platform," she added. Filed in the Northern District of Texas and assigned to US District Judge Reed O'Connor, the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a court order to prevent further efforts to withhold ad dollars from X. The company argues that it has applied brand-safety standards that "meet or exceed" its competitors and meet the Global Alliance for Responsible Media's specifications. It further argues that the alleged boycott made X a "less effective competitor" in the sale of digital advertising. (With inputs from agencies)

Elon Musk's X sues Mars, Unilever and other major advertisers, alleges unlawful boycott

<p>Downing Street has condemned Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO said that "civil war is inevitable" in the UK. Musk, the billionaire owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), made these comments on his social media platform in response to a video showing protesters shooting fireworks at police.</p>

<p>Musk replied to the post with "civil war is inevitable" and also responded with an exclamation mark to another post showing fireworks being thrown during the disorder in Liverpool.</p>
