Elon Musk calls 2024 a 'must-win situation' for free speech, touts Trump's character after being 'under fire

October 06, 2024 0

Elon Musk stood behind bulletproof glass as he spoke to a packed crowd of Trump rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening.

"The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire," he said, donning a dark "MAGA" hat and a shirt that read, "Occupy Mars."

"We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot," he continued. "America is the home of the brave, and there's no truer test than courage under fire, so who do you want representing America?"

 The crowd erupted, waving signs that read "Never Surrender" and "Fight, Fight, Fight" behind the stage.

Election 2024 Trump

The multi-billionaire business magnate joined former President Trump on stage during his first return to Butler since facing an assassination attempt at the hands of 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks at the site just 12 weeks prior.

Musk, who has outspokenly defended free speech, warned that next month's Nov. 5 faceoff between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will be the "most important election of our lifetime," with basic freedoms that are the bedrock of democracy at stake. 

"This is a must-win situation," he told the crowd of 60,000.

"This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively. You've got 14 states now that don't require voter I.D. California, where I used to live, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting. I still can't believe that's real. So, how are you supposed to have a good, proper election if there's no ID? It's meaningless."

Musk metamorphosed the Trump base's "Fight, Fight, Fight" slogan into a call to action – "Vote, Vote, Vote" – a chant embodying his pressure on those present to "be a pest" by repeatedly telling others to get out, register and vote.

"If there's one takeaway for anything that will matter is getting those registrations and then and then getting everyone to actually vote. That is what will decide this election, especially in Pennsylvania," he added.

Anne Hathaway confirms 'Princess Diaries 3

October 05, 2024 0

 Twenty years since "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" hit theaters, fans are still dying see more of Queen Mia. Now, it appears as if they will!



On Oct. 4, Hathaway confirmed that the third installment is in the works.

The video shows Hathaway lounging in a chair and holding up one finger and saying, "One." Her character Mia Thermopolis from the first film the says her iconic phrase, "A princess? Shut up!" followed by Julie Andrews' Queen Clarisse Rinaldi also saying "shut up" in the second film. Hathaway then holds up three fingers and smiles as she says, "Shut up!"

“Miracles happen ✨👑 Back to Genovia with @Disney Studios & @Somewhere Pictures. The fairy tale continues,” she captioned her TikTok.

Plot details and Andrews' involvement are unknown at this time, according to Deadline's report. "Joy Ride" director Adele Lim confirmed on Instagram she has been tapped to direct.

What is the ‘Princess Diaries’ franchise about?

The movies follow San Francisco resident Mia Thermopolis, played by Hathaway, as she learns she is actually the princess of the small kingdom of Genovia. Andrews plays her regal grandmother who has to teach the American teenager to fit in to their royal family.

In the second film, Mia gets accustomed to life as a royal and is expected to get married to able to become queen.

What has been said before about a 'Princess Diaries 3'?

TODAY.com previously went straight to the top to ask Queen Clarisse Rinaldi herself — ahem, Andrews — for the inside scoop.

“Ah, I have been asked that so many times,” Andrews said in April 2024, while chatting about the new picture book she wrote with her daughter, Emma Watson Hamilton.

“There was dialogue about it,” she said, but “nothing had been realized. And I think I may be wrong, but I think it’s been shelved now. I can’t be sure.”

At the time, Andrews didn't think the franchise would live on in some form, however: “I’m sure there will be another version on another day.”

Pausing to muse about the possibility of a third movie, Andrews said, “It’s quite a long time now since the two ‘Diaries’ were done, and I’m not sure, but sometimes it’s best to leave a good thing alone. I don’t like it when people milk and milk and milk the subject, you know, ‘til it’s dead.”

However, she added, “I’d be very happy if we did do another one. But I don’t expect to.”

In 2019, Hathaway said there was a script for the third movie on an episode of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live.”

She told Andy Cohen, “I want to do it. Julie (Andrews) wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen.”

In 2022, Andrews told The Hollywood Reporter prior to being honored with an AFI Life Achievement Award that it was likely “too late” for a third film, especially after director Garry Marshall died in 2016.

October 03, 2024 0

 Thousands of Bank of America customers encountered difficulties accessing their online accounts on Wednesday afternoon, as the bank experienced a large-scale outage. Customers took to social media to report issues, stating they were unable to view their account balances. Even more concerning, some users who managed to access their accounts found their balances displayed as $0, sparking widespread alarm and concern.




Reports of problems spiked around 12:45 pm ET on Downdetector, a platform that tracks outages. Complains about the issue flooded in from major cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, and Chicago, according to Downdetector's outage map

Affected customers received error messages stating "accounts temporarily unavailable" or "some accounts and balances are temporarily unavailable". For many, a ''Connection Error'' message popped up while trying to log into the banking app. The message said it was ''unable to complete your request'' and asked the user to ''try again later.''

Customers affected by the Bank of America outage flocked to social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, to share their experiences and seek confirmation that others were facing similar issues. Frustrated customers also expressed challenges in reaching Bank of America's customer service, citing long wait times, unsuccessful attempts to contact representatives, and automated messages with no resolution.
