Social media users criticized Errol Musk, the father of Elon Musk, for making baseless assertions that former First Lady Michelle Obama is "a man" during a podcast appearance, as reported by Marca on Saturday, February 15. This unfounded rumor has persisted within far-right communities despite lacking any evidence. Errol tried to present this discredited claim as "widely known information" while also making other highly inappropriate comments about Michelle.

During his guest spot on the 'Wide Awake Podcast' with host Joshua Rubin, Errol first targeted former president Barack Obama by stating, "We found out Obama is a queer who is married to a man who wears women's clothes. We all discovered that. It's not general knowledge."
When Rubin expressed shock at Errol's assertion that Michelle Obama is a "man," Errol insisted, "Certainly, you aren't aware of that? Joan Rivers said it in public, and she died two weeks after, by the way. They got rid of her, yes. So that's general knowledge. You can search for it anywhere."
According to Marca, Rivers, a comedian, had joked about Michelle's gender identity in 2014. Two weeks later, she died from complications during brain surgery. No reliable connection has ever been shown between these events.
Errol Musk's Remarks About His Son Elon

In the same discussion, Errol Musk spoke against his son Elon, the technology billionaire, regarding his parenting methods, alleging that he "has not been a good dad." He mentioned the sad death of Elon's first child from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at only 10 weeks old and said, "The baby received too much care from nannies and, unfortunately, died while under their supervision. If Elon hears me saying this, he might shoot me or something. But anyway, that's my opinion."
He also found fault with how his other grandchildren were raised, stating, "They were too rich, too many nannies."
He then fathered five children with the same woman. Each child had their own nanny. The situation was truly strange."
Elon, reportedly the father of at least 12 children, has a strained relationship with his father and has previously called him "evil" and "a terrible human being."
Scientists left shocked after discovering that sperm breaks one of the laws of physics
Experts have been amazed to discover that sperm appears to violate one of Isaac Newton's basic laws of motion. Most people possess basic knowledge about sperm - it resembles a tiny tadpole that swims until it encounters an egg. Yet, sperm can apparently contradict a physics principle that researchers have relied upon for centuries.
This remarkable finding came from Kenta Ishimoto, a mathematical scientist, working with fellow researchers at Kyoto University. The group examined the sperm's ability to overcome Newton's third law of motion, which states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Newton's principle indicates that opposing forces counteract each other. This effect appears when two identical marbles collide and subsequently transfer their energy and bounce apart. Sperm, however, operates differently.

The researchers discovered that sperm cells can drive themselves through thick fluids without creating the expected equal and opposite reaction or meeting typical resistance. Ishimoto and his team investigated these non-reciprocal interactions to understand the mechanism, analyzing experimental data on human sperm and also creating models of green algae (Chlamydomonas) movement.
Both organisms use flagella - the small tail section on sperm - to push cells forward, but while highly viscous liquids would normally disperse their energy, sperm flagella continue to thrust the cells ahead. The study revealed that sperm tails possess an "odd elasticity," allowing them to move without significant energy loss to surrounding fluid.
This property alone, however, did not fully clarify the propulsion generated by the wave-like flagella motion. To better explain this phenomenon, the scientists developed a new concept called "odd elastic modulus" to characterize the internal flagella mechanics. As flagella bend in response to liquid, they manage to avoid the equal and opposite reaction and preserve energy.
The research team noted: "From solvable simple models to biological flagellar waveforms for Chlamydomonas and sperm cells, we studied the odd-bending modulus to decipher the nonlocal, nonreciprocal inner interactions within the material."

They added: "Odd elasticity is not a generic term for activity in solids, but rather a well-defined physical mechanism that generates active forces in solids or in other systems in which a generalized elasticity can be defined without using an elastic potential."
The scientists suggested their discoveries could have practical applications by aiding the design of tiny, self-assembling robots that imitate living materials, or by enhancing our understanding of collective behavior principles.
Musk's Fertility Concerns Extend Beyond Public Statements
The recent scientific breakthrough holds great interest, but prepare yourself for a somewhat disturbing sperm-related detail. An unsettling fact many would prefer not to know is that the globe's wealthiest individual, Elon Musk, isn't merely a multi-billionaire but also appears to be an enthusiastic contributor of genetic material.

Musk has previously utilized his Twitter platform to voice apprehension regarding birth rates, potentially viewing himself as part of the solution. He posted: "A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far."
In another tweet, he stated: "Many countries are already well below replacement rate, and the trend is that almost all will be. This is simply a fact, not a 'debunked theory.' 2.1 kids is replacement rate, and obviously the world as a whole will soon drop below that point."
A New York Times investigation revealed that the Tesla Chief Executive has allegedly offered his reproductive cells to several friends and acquaintances throughout the years. While this information might be something most would rather not contemplate, it certainly provides food for thought.
Elon Completely Burns the Bridge, Agrees That Trump Should Be Impeached
About two days have passed since former Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk posted harsh criticism on social media platform X. His comments about the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act surprised many observers.
Musk labeled the congressional spending bill a "disgusting abomination" in his Tuesday post.
The following day, Musk increased his attacks. He expressed strong worries about the bill's budget effects and demanded its elimination. President Donald Trump supports the legislation but stayed unusually quiet.
Trump responded on Thursday and showed his disappointment with his former DOGE leader.

Trump's comments appeared to anger Musk completely. The tech billionaire launched into an angry series of posts on X.
Musk's fury included finding old, fiscally conservative X posts from Trump. He used the president's previous statements against him.
Musk wrote: "Where is the man who wrote these words? Was he replaced by a body double!?"
The exchanges became more personal. Musk eventually made a comment that likely destroyed any chance of making peace. He challenged the president's position directly.
Musk crossed a line that MAGA Republican circles consider unforgivable. He discussed impeachment by openly supporting the idea of Vice President J.D. Vance replacing an impeached Trump.
Conservative social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong posted: "President vs Elon. Who wins? My money's on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him."
Musk shared Cheong's post and wrote "Yes." This response showed his apparent agreement with the Vance-replacing-Trump idea.
Vance had not publicly responded to Musk's comments by late Thursday afternoon.

The One Big Beautiful Bill's future becomes less clear each day. The Senate makes temporary changes before the final vote. Musk has declared war on the bill and, indirectly, on Trump.
The former DOGE head has expanded his criticisms beyond the spending bill. He now attacks the administration on other issues.
Musk has claimed Trump's widely promoted tariffs would harm America's economy quickly.
He posted: "The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year."
Musk recently left his DOGE position with a friendly farewell. He wanted to focus better on his businesses. These companies include X, electric vehicle company Tesla, and space travel company SpaceX.
Musk officially steps down from DOGE after wrapping work streamlining government
Elon Musk has started the exit process from his position as leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX announced on X Wednesday night that his time as a special government employee is ending, and he expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump for the chance to reduce wasteful spending.
"The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government," Musk stated in his post.
The White House verified to FOX that Musk's statement is correct and departure procedures will start Wednesday night. Musk has represented DOGE publicly since Trump created the office through an executive order on January 20. DOGE has examined federal government agencies to find and stop government overspending, corruption and fraud.

Musk was hired as a "special government employee," a position Congress established in 1962 that allows the executive or legislative branch to recruit temporary employees for specific short-term projects. Special government employees can work for the federal government for "no more than 130 days in a 365-day period," according to the Office of Government Ethics data. Musk's 130-day period, which began on Inauguration Day, was set to end on May 30.
DOGE operates as a temporary cross-departmental organization created to reduce and improve the federal government. The group will disband on July 4, 2026, according to Trump's executive order.
Both Musk and Trump previously indicated that Musk's role was temporary and would conclude in spring. During an exclusive April interview with Musk and DOGE team members, Fox News' Bret Baier asked, "You, technically, are a special government employee and you're supposed to be 130 days. Are you going to continue past that or do you think that's what you're going to do?"
"I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that timeframe," Musk answered.
Trump suggested Musk's departure in remarks to reporters on March 31 when asked if he wanted Musk to stay in a government role longer than the set 130 days.
"I think he's amazing. But I also think he's got a big company to run," Trump said in March. "And so at some point he's going to be going back."
"I'd keep him as long as I can keep him," Trump stated. "He's a very talented guy. You know, I love very smart people. He's very smart. And he's done a good job," the president added.

Musk stated recently, "DOGE has discovered figures that are truly astonishing to everyone." During a Tesla earnings call on April 22, Musk announced his intention to reduce his involvement as DOGE's leader.
"I expect that starting likely in the coming month, May, my time dedicated to DOGE will decrease considerably," Musk explained during Tesla's earnings conference call. "I will need to maintain some involvement for, I believe, the rest of the president's term to ensure the waste and fraud we've stopped does not return forcefully, which it certainly will if given the opportunity. I think I'll continue to devote about one or two days weekly to government matters as long as the president wishes me to and as long as I remain helpful."
"But beginning next month," he continued, "I'll be giving much more of my time to Tesla now that the major work of establishing the Department of Government Efficiency is complete."
Throughout Musk's tenure with DOGE, Democrats and activist groups have organized protests against the tech billionaire and his businesses, including attempts to negatively impact Tesla stocks. While Musk has been the public representative of DOGE for months, he is not employed by the United States DOGE Service and does not answer to the acting DOGE chief, according to a March court document that provided additional insight into the office's internal structure.
"Elon Musk is not employed at USDS. I do not report to him, and he does not report to me. To my knowledge, he serves as a Senior Advisor to the White House," Amy Gleason, the acting administrator of DOGE, wrote in a declaration included in a court filing.
Gleason previously served at the United States Digital Service, established in 2014 by former President Barack Obama as a technology office within the Executive Office of the President. Trump signed an executive order in January that changed the office name to the United States DOGE Service, creating DOGE.
Although Musk has been the public face of DOGE, he "possesses no actual or formal power to make government decisions himself" and works as a senior advisor to the president, a White House official stated in a separate court document filed in February.
Musk became a strong supporter of Trump during the peak of the election cycle last summer, officially endorsing Trump after the first assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.
Musk posted on X immediately after the assassination attempt, "I fully endorse President Trump and wish him a quick recovery," along with video showing Trump raising his fist and yelling "Fight, fight, fight!" after being wounded in the attack.
Musk conducted a comprehensive interview with Trump on X during the campaign. Throughout Musk's time as a special government employee, Trump has commended the tech entrepreneur for his efforts to improve government efficiency and reduce excessive spending, including during his first speech to a joint Congress session following his second inauguration.
"Thank you, Elon. He's working very hard. He didn't need this. He didn't need this. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe. They just don't want to admit that," Trump remarked in March during his address, joking that even Democrats were thankful for Musk's contributions at DOGE.
