Musk's Daring Gambit Has Managed to Do Something Remarkable: Alienate Democrats AND Republicans

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-17 09:45:29

It appears that Elon Musk has seriously overestimated his sustained popularity among his right-wing fans. In another masterful display of cunning, the world's richest man turned coat and viciously lashed out at his former best-friend-in-chief Donald Trump this month. It was a very public affair, as both parties traded blows over social media — and Trump at his many press conferences — but it was Musk who came out looking worse for wear, unable to equal the president's threats, squirming at the

Shortly after joining MIT in 2012, Williams created the Civic Data Design Lab to bridge that divide. Over the years, she and her colleagues have pushed the narrative and expository bounds of urban planning data using the latest technologies available—making numbers vivid and accessible through human stories and striking graphics. One project she was involved in, on rates of incarceration in New York City by neighborhood, is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable
