‘Be Quiet, Small Man’ | Musk Humiliates Polish PM Over Ukraine’s Starlink Funding Debate | Watch

Musk clashed with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in a heated online exchange over Starlink’s role in Ukraine. Musk, who has donated over 40,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine since 2022, dismissed Sikorski’s claims that Poland funds the service at $50 million per year, calling him a “small man.” Musk warned that Ukraine’s frontline would collapse without Starlink, calling it “the backbone of the Ukrainian army.” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Musk, arguing that without Starlink, Ukraine would have already lost the war. #Musk #ElonMusk #BeQuiet #SmallMan #FreeSpeech #TwitterDebate #PublicFeud #TechGiants #MuskVsCritics #SocialMediaWar #MuskControversy #LeadershipStyle #PublicBacklash #MuskStatements #OnlineDebate ~HT.97~PR.152~GR.124~

In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he’s now “running the world” and is enjoying his second term far more than his first. He described his current leadership role as “fun,” despite calling it “serious stuff.” Trump also addressed past remarks about a potential third term, brushing them off as unlikely. His comments—while dramatic—spark new debates about power, global influence, and political ambition as the Trump era continues to stir global headlines. #DonaldTrump #Trump2028 #WorldPolitics #USPresident #TrumpNews #BreakingNews #PoliticsToday #TheAtlantic#TrumpInterview #WhiteHouse #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #ThirdTerm #Trump2024 #Leadership #TrumpPower#GlobalNews #PresidentTrump #NewsUpdate #TrumpQuotes Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.

SHOCKING VIDEO: Musk Vs Scott Bessent 'Shouting Match' At White House Over IRS Creates Ruckus

Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a heated shouting match inside the White House over who should lead the IRS. Musk backed Gary Shapley, while Bessent pushed for his deputy Michael Faulkender. The argument—filled with expletives and accusations—erupted near President Trump and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. Musk even accused Bessent of being a “Soros agent.” Days later, Bessent’s pick won out. White House aides say tensions like this aren’t unusual, but the clash exposes deep divisions within Trump’s economic inner circle. #ElonMusk #ScottBessent #IRS #WhiteHouse #TrumpAdministration #GaryShapley #MichaelFaulkender #PoliticalDrama #MuskVsBessent #TreasuryClash #SorosAgent #IRSLeadership #EconomicPolicy #TrumpNews #BreakingNews #PowerStruggle #GiorgiaMeloni #USPolitics #ShoutingMatch #TreasuryDepartment #WhiteHouseDrama #TrumpInnerCircle #WashingtonClash #PolicyTensions #MuskExplodes #IRSReform #HighStakesPolitics #VerbalShowdown #TrumpTeam #BehindClosedDoors Also Read Elon Musk To Visit India Later This Year, Calls Talk With PM Modi 'An Honour' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-to-visit-india-later-this-year-calls-talk-with-pm-modi-an-honour-4128177.html?ref=DMDesc Modi and Musk Discuss Collaboration In Technology :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-and-musk-discuss-collaboration-in-technology-4127313.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Is Now A Comic Book Villain In Canada, Elon Musk Is His Sidekick :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-is-now-a-comic-book-villain-in-canada-elon-musk-is-his-sidekick-4120951.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~
