Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump discussed his relationship with Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk on Thursday, saying that the two have a “very good” connection. Musk “fully” endorsed Trump shortly after a would-be assassin hit the former president in the right ear at his Butler County, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13. “Elon and I have a very good relationship. As you know, he endorsed me very strongly,” Trump said during an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning. “Somebody told me he was going to give me $45 million a month. I said that sounds like a lot, and even for Elon, that’s a lot. … There was a reporter that wrote it, but he never told me he was giving me $45 million, but he did say, ‘I strongly endorse you,’ despite the fact that I’m against the electric car mandate.” Donald Trump responded to questions about his relationship with Elon Musk and addressed the WSJ hoax claiming that Musk was giving him $45 million a month: “Elon and I have a very good relationship. He endorsed me very strongly.

That is true of our competitors, but not of Tesla.” Asked to comment specifically on Trump’s proposal to end EV mandates, Musk said, “It will be fine.” The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that Musk was planning on donating $45 million a month to help elect Trump, but Musk denied that report during a DailyWire+ interview on Monday with psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true. I’m not donating $45 million a month to Trump,” Musk told Peterson. “What I have done is created a PAC [political action committee] or Super PAC … the America PAC.” In a follow-up tweet on Tuesday, Musk wrote, “I am making some donations to America PAC, but at a much lower level and the key values of the PAC are supporting a meritocracy & individual freedom. Republicans are mostly, but not entirely, on the side of merit & freedom.” Musk, who supported Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, has become increasingly critical of the Left and the Democratic Party. “Years ago, I think probably the Democratic Party was the party of meritocracy and of personal freedom,” Musk told Peterson. “They used to be the free speech party, and these days, they seem to be the censorship party under the guise of hate speech. … The Democrats are also promoting DEI, which is really just another form of racism and sexism.”

Paul McCartney was all that and more for most girls who grew up in the 1970s. When the Beatles broke up, Paul recorded solo albums “McCartney” (1970) and “Ram” (1971) before adding his talent to the Wings. Unsurprisingly, the band was the best-selling act of the 1970s in the Pop genre. From that era, Paul McCartney recently released a vintage recording of the song “Blackpool.” The recording is from 1974 sessions in the yard at Abbey Road Studios. The sessions were for the album “One Hand Clapping,” which was archived until recently. Fifty years later, the album was available on June 14, 2024. The sessions were part of a potential video documentary. The short and silly folk-blues song has an upbeat melody that prompts foot-tapping. The lyrics are unclear and contain innuendos. Numbers appear in the lyrics throughout the song. The numbers and some of the lyrics change in different versions. Paul McCartney wrote the vintage song in the early 1970s. The first recording, at Rude Studio in Scotland, featured acoustic guitars, drums, and the piano. The background noise included the sound of a barking dog throughout the recording. The Abbey Road version was just Paul and his acoustic guitar. Image from YouTube. Another recording of the short song was in 1981 for inclusion as the b-side of “The Man.” After the cancelation of that release, the song was back on the shelf until 2003. Paul McCartney played the vintage song during a soundcheck for a Dublin, Ireland concert on the Back In The World Tour. The next emergence was two years later at the Chaos And Creation At Abbey Road show. The song remained “officially unreleased” until its inclusion on the “One Hand Clapping“ album. Please share.
