MEMPHIS, Tenn. — LeBron James glared at the Los Angeles Lakers bench, another chance squandered, another run from the Grizzlies delivered. There wasn’t much else he could do Wednesday night on the final game of the Lakers’ first road trip. But as his team saw a two-point deficit turn to a 11-point deficit after Memphis his three straight threes, James looked at the bench. So did former Lakers two-way center Jay Huff. Scotty Pippen Jr., another former Lakers two-way prospect, posed at his former bench after hitting one of his three threes.

Elon Musk Drives Trump To Victory With Unprecedented Support Tech mogul’s influence reshapes election dynamics and impacts future policiesThe recent U.S. presidential election has shaken many traditional political landscapes, with Donald Trump reclaiming the presidency, much to the surprise of critics and analysts. A loud and proud advocate for Trump, Musk brought his extensive social media influence and considerable resources to the table, making him one of the former president’s most important allies. Reports estimate Musk dedicated approximately $120 million to help support Trump's political action committee, making him one of the largest backers of Trump's campaign, alongside Timothy Mellon. Through his media channels and enthusiastic backing, Musk helped ignite a surprising groundswell of support for Trump among this demographic. Additionally, Musk's recent inheritance of X and the potential legal measures surrounding social media influence adds another layer of complexity.

A thunderstruck world took in Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S presidential election, with ordinary people and political titans voicing jubilation, dismay or bafflement on Wednesday as allies and adversaries struggled to recalibrate their vision of a vastly altered American landscape. “In the bigger picture, the war isn’t going anywhere,” said Serhiy, a Ukrainian marine sergeant serving on the southern frontlines. “I am beginning to wonder if the U.S. might actually break out in civil war,” she said. In Europe, where several dozen heads of state were set to gather Thursday at a summit in Budapest, Hungary, Trump’s victory was seen as holding major consequences for security, the economy and climate change. Raphaël Glucksmann, a leading French socialist in the European Parliament, said Trump’s return to the White House will threaten Europe’s alliance with the United States.
