The rumor that former President Donald Trump put Elon Musk on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a call has sparked a whirlwind of speculation and outrage online.

The fact that Netanyahu is reaching out to Trump, who is no longer the sitting President, raises eyebrows. Is this a political ploy to garner support or a genuine attempt to establish ties with a powerful figure?… Continue reading
