Elon Musk has shared a humorous post containing a meme that showed a fictional screenshot of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro’s confiscated iPhone, ‘revealing’ chats he had with various leaders, including US President Donald Trump, under whose orders he was extracted to the US to stand trial in alleged drug offences. The meme shows profile pics of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping, Canada’s ex-PM Justin Trudeau, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, and Trump. The idea seems to be to share the possible last messages Maduro may have received before the American military operation on January 3. The shock and absurdity of Maduro’s US capture is evident in the meme photo, which is imagined as a ‘screenshot’ of his phone’s last chat history.<h2>Maduro’s capture</h2>On January 3, US forces seized Maduro from his presidential residence in the Venezuelan capital Caracas in what was essentially a regime change operation. He was brought to New York, where he appeared before a court on Monday (Jan 6). Maduro pleaded not guilty, and claimed he was kidnapped.<h2>What is in the Maduro meme photo shared by Musk?</h2>The original meme was shared by Musk with a simple comment: ‘Banger’ and a laughing emoji. The meme has got 26 million views and thousands of replies.The satirical screenshot of Maduro’s iPhone Messages app shows texts from the leaders, with&nbsp;a “CONFIDENTIAL” watermark overlaid, adding to the faux-leaked vibe of the meme.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/-i-was-kidnapped-venezuelan-president-nicol-s-maduro-pleads-not-guilty-in-us-court-1767561352618">‘I was kidnapped’: Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro pleads not guilty in US court</a><h2>Decoding the meme: What each leader told Maduro before his capture</h2>Putin says, “We make deal, no tell Trump”, possibly referring to secretive alliances between Russia and Venezuela often involving oil, military support, or anti-US pacts.

This appears garbled or intentionally poorly translated to mock Xi’s broken English. “Berry” is probably meant as “very,” and “FAFO” could be an acronym for the internet slang “f*** around and Find Out”. This could be referring to defence secretary Pete Hegseth's remark that Maduro ‘effed around and found out’, while detailing the Caracas operation to media along with Trump on January 4.

‘Banger’: Musk shares meme of Maduro’s ‘confiscated iPhone’. Here’s what the messages in it might mean

Author and social media influencer Ashley St. Clair has accused Elon Musk-owned AI chatbot Grok of generating sexually suggestive images using a photograph of her taken when she was 14 years old. In a series of posts on X, St. Clair said the AI responded to user prompts by producing edited images that she described as disturbing and illegal.St Clair said the original image was a casual photograph taken during her teenage years. She claimed that Grok generated altered versions of the image after users instructed the chatbot to modify her appearance. She said the content remains accessible on X despite her requests for removal.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Grok is now undressing photos of me as a child. This is a website where the owner says to post photos of your children. I really don’t care if people want to call me “scorned” this is objectively horrifying, illegal, and if it has happened to anybody else, DM me. I got time.&mdash; Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) <a href="https://twitter.com/stclairashley/status/2008008827246141863?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h3>What Ashley St. Clair said on X</h3>In one of her posts, St. Clair said the incident raised serious concerns about how AI tools handle images of minors. She wrote that she did not care about personal criticism but felt the issue needed attention because of its wider impact.&nbsp;In another post, she directly addressed Grok, stating that the image used was taken when she was underage and that generating altered versions of it crossed legal and ethical lines. She also asked the platform to remove the content and share post identification details for legal purposes.&nbsp;The posts, shared publicly on X, quickly gained attention and sparked discussion about safeguards in generative AI tools. As of the time of writing, neither xAI nor Elon Musk has issued a detailed public response addressing the specific allegations.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Just saw a photo that Grok produced of a child no older than four years old in which it took off her dress, put her in a bikini + added what is intended to be semen. ChatGPT does not do this. Gemini does not do this. Another girl who appears to be just 11 or 12 with a brain…&mdash; Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) <a href="https://twitter.com/stclairashley/status/2008050483600973860?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h3>AI safety concerns and platform responsibility</h3>The incident has renewed debate around the limits of AI image generation and the need for stronger safeguards. Experts have repeatedly warned that AI tools trained on large datasets must have strict controls to prevent misuse, especially when it comes to images of children.According to existing digital safety laws in several countries, creating or modifying images of minors in a sexualised way can be considered a serious offence. St. Clair described the situation as a failure of basic content controls and called on others who may have faced similar issues to contact her.<h3>Ashley St. Clair and her past link to Elon Musk</h3>Ashley St. Clair is a US-based author and political commentator with a large online following. In February 2025, she publicly said that Elon Musk is the father of her son,&nbsp;Romulus. She said she had kept the information private to protect her child but decided to go public after media reports began circulating.&nbsp;In a post shared on Valentine’s Day 2025, St. Clair said Musk was the child’s father and later filed a lawsuit seeking sole custody and legal recognition. According to a report cited by The Wall Street Journal, a paternity test showed a 99.9999 percent probability confirming Musk’s paternity.&nbsp;The resurfacing of her claims against Grok has added to scrutiny around Musk-owned platforms and their approach to AI safety, moderation, and accountability.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk met US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for dinner on Saturday. The meeting came hours after appreciating the US president for a military operation in Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Sharing a picture from the dinner, Elon Musk said in a post on X, “Had a lovely dinner last night with @POTUS and @FLOTUS. 2026 is going to be amazing!”

Earlier on Saturday, Elon Musk reshared an image posted by the White House that showed Maduro blindfolded on board the USS Iwo Jima. "Congratulations, President Trump! This is a win for the world and a clear message to evil dictators everywhere," Musk commented on the image.&nbsp;In the early hours of Saturday, US forces carried out launched an operation in Caracas, targeting a military installation and detaining Maduro along with his wife, Cilia Flores. Both of them were taken to New York to face federal narcotics-related charges, where Maduro is currently being held at a detention facility and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.&nbsp;While addressing a press conference, President Trump said the United States would temporarily “run” Venezuela until what he described as a "safe, proper and judicious transition" is achieved.&nbsp;Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth later elaborated on the statement, saying the move meant Washington would dictate the terms. "It means we set the terms. President Trump sets the terms. It means the drugs stop flowing, it means the oil that was taken from us is returned, ultimately, and that criminals are not sent to the United States," the Defence Secretary said.<h3>Tensions grew between Trump &amp; Musk</h3>After Trump won the Presidential election, Musk became a close ally in January 2025, advising on the government efficiency effort and setting up DOGE, a task force that focused on curbing federal expenditure and streamlining operations. He emerged as one of the Republican Party’s largest financial backers, donating hundreds of millions of dollars during the 2024 election cycle, according to Reuters.&nbsp;Relations later became strained after Musk openly opposed spending measures supported by Trump, especially the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” arguing that it would significantly increase federal expenditure.

Dinner between Musk and Trump came hours after appreciating the US president for a military operation in Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Previously, Elon Musk reshared an image posted by the White House showing Maduro blindfolded on board the USS Iwo Jima.

Elon Musk has renewed debate around artificial intelligence in healthcare after an old video of him promoting Grok AI’s medical abilities resurfaced online. In the clip, first shared in June 2025, the he claimed that Grok, which is developed by xAI, can analyse X-rays and MRI scans and, in some cases, offer more accurate diagnoses than doctors.“I think AI will be very helpful with the medical stuff,” Musk said in the video. “You can upload your X-rays or MRI images to Grok and it will give you a medical diagnosis. I have seen cases where it’s actually better than what doctors tell you.” &nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">ELON MUSK: &quot;I think A.I. will be very helpful with the medical stuff.

Case that brought Grok back into focus The video gained attention again after Musk reposted a claim shared by a Doge designer account on X. In the post a medical case involving a 49-year-old Norwegian man who said Grok helped save his life.As per that, a man suffered from severe abdominal pain for more than 24 hours. During his first visit to an emergency room, doctors reportedly diagnosed acid reflux and gave him antacids. As the pain continued, he later consulted Grok AI, which suggested the symptoms could point to appendicitis or a perforated ulcer and advised immediate medical imaging.When the man returned to hospital and underwent a CT scan, doctors found that his appendix was severely inflamed and close to rupturing. He underwent emergency surgery and later recovered fully, according to the post shared online.

<h2>What Musk claims Grok can do</h2> Musk has said Grok can analyse medical images quickly and highlight possible risks that may need urgent attention. Supporters argue that AI systems can scan images in seconds, while patients in many hospitals wait hours or even days for radiology reports.One X user backing Musk’s claim said that Grok delivers results within seconds, compared to hospital waiting times that can stretch to three days for MRI reports in some cases. However, Musk has not shared clinical trial data or peer-reviewed studies to support his broader claims.<h2>AI’s growing role in healthcare</h2>According to multiple healthcare studies published over the past few years, AI tools are increasingly being tested to assist radiologists in spotting tumours, fractures and internal injuries. However, regulators in many countries still require human doctors to make the final diagnosis.Grok’s reported case has added fresh attention to this debate, highlighting both the promise and limits of AI in medical diagnosis.&nbsp;&nbsp;For now, experts say AI tools may help flag risks early, but patients should always seek professional medical advice.

Elon Musk claimed that Grok can analyse medical reports accurately and, in some cases, offer more accurate diagnoses than doctors. a viral post described how Grok allegedly helped a Norwegian man detect a life-threatening appendix condition after an initial hospital misdiagnosis.

Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk indicated on Wednesday that his social media company X was considering increasing payments to creators to compete with YouTube. Responding to a post on X of a user calling for higher payouts to creators, Elon Musk tagged the head of product Nikita Bier on the post, saying flat out “Ok, let's do it, but rigorously enforcing no gaming of the system.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">if i were at x or elon, i’d crank creator payouts way way way way up. maybe even more than youtube (you can eat the cost to try to win agi). because the platforms that actually pay will be the only ones that will have any authoritative content left once the llms finish eating…&mdash; signüll (@signulll) <a href="https://twitter.com/signulll/status/2005851213070254393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Elon Musk's response came after a user on X wrote,"if i were at x or elon, i’d crank creator payouts way way way way up. maybe even more than youtube (you can eat the cost to try to win agi). Because the platforms that actually pay will be the only ones that will have any authoritative content left once the llms finish eating the rest of the internet’s homework (which they have already done so for the most part)."&nbsp;Bier also responded promptly to the tagged post of Musk, stating, "On it." "We have a new method that should wipe out 99% fraud," Bier added, addressing the second part of Musk's suggestion.<h3>Netizens call it a ‘game changer’</h3>Musk’s post also drew an enthusiastic reaction from independent journalist Nick Shirley, who recently gained attention for uncovering a daycare centre fraud in Minnesota. "Yes this would be amazing, X so far hasn’t been able to compete with YouTube Adsense but is a much more effective platform for videos to be shared and seen by the masses without censorship," Shirley said."I’ve been telling my friends for months to be posting on X but they haven’t made the effort because their time is better used (monetarily) on other platforms," he added.&nbsp;Meanwhile, several other users joined the discussion as well, with many describing the move as a “game changer”. Some argued that platforms offering better payouts to creators would ultimately retain more credible content, as large language models increasingly consume much of the material available online. &nbsp;

“I wasn’t surprised [by Musk’s input], I guess you could say, because from the beginning, the second that my case was kind of made public, it has been about appearances and because, ‘oh, she’s blonde and she’s white!’ And so the thing he said in of itself wasn’t shocking to me, but coming from him, yes, it was definitely...I was floored.” said Morris to Daily Beast.The remark drew significant flak from the social media users, with many branding him “creepy”.&nbsp;She lamented that she hoped it would have drawn attention to the legal aspect of her case instead of her physical appearance. “It would’ve been really cool if he commented something like, ‘Oh wow, look how many academic things she’s reached,’ or whatever. That would’ve been great. It could have been so helpful,” she said. Morris, however, was granted a residency permit for 10 years; her brother and mother had citizenship.&nbsp;Being a teenager, she could not help but notice the bright side, she added, no matter what the embarrassment, if this brings attention to people who care, then it was a win for her. Morris had been living a major part of his life in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-biggest city. The prospect of her deportation was so dire that she was preparing for contingency plan to live in the US.&nbsp;“I have my grandparents and some friends in the USA. But Denmark is my home. One hundred per cent. I am as Danish as a foreigner can possibly be," she told Stifstidende in January.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's net worth soared to 749 billion dollars after a major legal victory. A U.S. high court restored a controversial pay deal first agreed back in 2018. The Delaware Supreme Court ruled Friday that the pay deal must be restored, overturning a lower court decision that had scrapped it two years ago. Elon Musk has now become the first person in history to be worth more than 700 billion dollars.

Elon Musk's Net Worth Tops $700 Billion

The world's richest man got even richer after a US court decision. The Delaware Supreme Court on Friday (Dec 20) cleared Tech Billionaire Elon Musk's long-contested $56 billion Tesla pay package, reversing an earlier judgment of a lower court. The court ruled that the earlier decision of the lower court to cancel Musk's 2018 pay plan was too extreme a remedy and that the lower court did not give Tesla a chance to say what fair compensation should be.&nbsp;Following the decision, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s net worth rose to $749 billion, nearly three times that of the world’s second-richest person, Google co-founder Larry Page, who is worth $252.6 billion. Musk is now closer than ever to becoming the first trillionaire, according to Forbes' billionaires index.&nbsp;The five-judge appeals panel determined that Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the state's Court of Chancery ruled improperly in ordering a rescission, the invalidating of Musk's package in its entirety. Musk's 2018 package has the approval of the majority shareholders of the company, but it ended up in court after a Tesla Shareholder, Richard Tornetta, challenged the compensation as excessive.&nbsp;The court struck down the award in January 2024 after a five-day trial, describing the process as “deeply flawed.” McCormick noted that Tesla’s board was vulnerable to manipulation by Musk, the paradigmatic ‘Superstar CEO,’ and she upheld her ruling in December 2024 following an appeal.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-critical-documents-missing-in-new-epstein-file-release-says-ro-khannabill-clinton-ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-files-release-1766233062120">‘Critical documents missing’ in new Epstein file release, says Ro Khanna, ‘likely shielding other rich and powerful’</a>&nbsp;Despite this, Tesla’s board has consistently supported Musk, approving an “interim” compensation award of around $29 billion in August and later announcing a pay package that could reach $1 trillion.&nbsp;Elon Musk made his wealth by co-founding seven companies, including electric car maker Tesla, rocket company SpaceX, and AI startup xAI.&nbsp;He owns about 12% of Tesla, which he first invested in 2004 and has led as CEO since 2008. &nbsp;SpaceX, founded in 2002, is valued at $800 billion based on a private tender offer in December 2025, with Musk owning an estimated 42% stake.&nbsp;In 2022, Musk bought Twitter in a $44 billion deal and merged it with xAI in March 2025. The combined company is valued at around $125 billion, including debt.&nbsp;Musk also founded The Boring Company, which focuses on tunnelling, and Neuralink, a brain-implant startup.

A Chinese billionaire, who has fathered more than 100 children in the United States through surrogacy agencies, dreams of some of them marrying Tesla CEO Elon Musk's children to build a great family dynasty. Xu Bo, 48, made his fortune by founding online gaming company Duoyi in China and is obsessed with building his legacy by fathering numerous offspring.&nbsp;Xu, who calls himself “China’s first father,” publicly declared that he aims to sire at least "50 high-quality sons," on social media posts which were verified by the Wall Street Journal. His company, Duyoi, later, in a social media post, said that he had produced over 100 offspring through surrogacy in the United States. The story got more interesting after Xu's ex-girlfriend, Tang Jing, made shocking claims that Xu had fathered more than 300 children, adding that she herself raised 11 of those for years. "That number can be undercounted, but surely not overreported," Jing said in a social media post, according to the India Times.&nbsp;Xu is now fighting a custody battle with his former girlfriend, Jing, over the two daughters they parented together. The Duoyi founder claimed that he has paid his ex tens of crores in expenses over the years and declined to challenge her post about his hundreds of children.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-stay-indoors-singapore-advises-its-nationals-amid-delhi-air-pollution-crisis-air-quality-delhi-ncr-rekha-gupta-pm-modi-india-1765794337239">Delhi air crisis: UK, Canada and Singapore issue advisory as AQI remains in ‘severe’ category</a>&nbsp;Xu’s ambition to create a sprawling family lineage was reportedly influenced by Elon Musk, whom Xu admired for his views on population growth.

Billionaire Elon Musk again had an outburst on social media over his estranged transgender daughter. The tech mogul said on X that her transition was a “tragic mental illness" caused by “the evil woke mind virus". This was in response to a jibe by California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office. The remark was made after Newsom told a podcaster that he wanted to see more transgender students.&nbsp;In response to the video shared by Elon Musk’s Public Action Committee (PAC) on X, Newsom’s office said, “Correct. We’re sorry your daughter hates you, Elon."&nbsp;“I assume you’re referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children. I love Xavier very much and hope he recovers.

In the past as well, Musk has repeatedly referred to his daughter using her birth name and described her transition as the work of a “woke mind virus." The Tesla CEO had previously accused Wilson of adopting extreme ideologies, saying, “She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil."&nbsp;An internet user wrote, “No matter what you think about Elon, hitting him with his children is the lowest you can get.”&nbsp;Another said, “Kids are off limits. What Gavin Newsom’s team did was shameful. I’m sorry you were put in a situation where you had to defend your kid, Elon.”&nbsp;“Elon, why don’t you support your daughter?” said another.&nbsp;“Classy move from a governor’s office: just mock a father’s estrangement from his child. Real moral high ground there," wrote another.

The Founder &amp; CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, refuted the reports claiming that his rocket and satellite maker SpaceX is seeking a valuation of $800 billion through a share sale. In a post on X, Musk noted that SpaceX has generated positive cash flow for many years and conducts share buybacks twice annually.&nbsp;“There has been a lot of press claiming SpaceX is raising money at $800B, which is not accurate,” Elon Musk said in a post on his social media platform X. “SpaceX has been cash flow positive for many years and does periodic stock buybacks twice a year to provide liquidity for employees and investors,” he said.&nbsp;“Valuation increments are a function of progress with Starship and Starlink and securing global direct-to-cell spectrum that greatly increases our addressable market. And one other thing that is arguably most significant by far,” he added.

Musk's response came after the news came to light following the sources hinting to Bloomberg News that SpaceX is gearing up to offer insider shares in a deal that will value the firm at almost $800 billion. The report also indicated that the sale would enable some employees and investors to liquidate part of their stake.<h3>SpaceX to Offer Insider Shares?</h3>Earlier, on December 5, a source told Bloomberg News that SpaceX is reportedly preparing a new insider shares sale in a transaction that would value Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite maker at more than OpenAI’s record-setting $500 billion valuation. Another source indicated that the proposed share price, above $400 per share, would place SpaceX’s valuation between $750 billion and $800 billion, though final terms are still subject to change.&nbsp;The board of the company discussed the tender offer on Thursday at its Starbase hub in Texas. If finalised, it would make SpaceX once again the most valuable privately held company in the world, surpassing the past record of $500 billion that ChatGPT owner OpenAI set in October.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the valuation marks a sharp jump in the company from July, when shares were priced at $212 each during a funding round that valued the company at $400 billion. As the world’s leading rocket operator, SpaceX continues to dominate the aerospace sector with its Falcon 9 missions that regularly send satellites and astronauts to orbit.
