Recently, A Scottish soccer team has alleged Elon Musk and SpaceX of stealing their logo and ended up being bought by the billionaire.

This story started on Musk’s social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, after SpaceX shared a photograph of Starship integrated flight and the team posing with the sky-height rocket.

The bottom of the rocket launch pad holder has a logo with a crescent moon and an “X” letter. Social media users took note of this inclusion and found that it’s identical to Haddington Town AFC. It is an amateur football club, based 15 miles outside of Edinburgh, that uses the goat in all of its branding as a nod to the acronym “greatest of all time.”

The club wrote on X “Why has @ElonMusk stole our badge? Give it back!” Haddington Town tweeted alongside laughing emojis and a photo of the supposedly “stolen” symbol, where SpaceX replaced the soccer team’s name with the space exploration company’s signature “X.”.

In a separate statement to The Times of London, Ryan Leishman, a club representative for Haddington Town confirmed that the organization had no desire to fight legally against Musk for copyright infringement.

However, he showed interest in taking investment from the billionaire.

“We don’t want to fight Elon Musk. If he wants to come and invest in us, we’ll back him when he fights Mark Zuckerberg,” Leishman told The Times.

“I believe they have been calling themselves the ‘goat of space travel’ so I have a feeling they just searched ‘goat badge’ and found us. We just can’t believe it. It is such a weird thing to happen to an amateur football team,” Leishman added.

Later that day, Haddington Town announced that Musk bought the team with an announcement that said “Welcome Elon Musk” and “Position: Owner.”

“We can officially announce after the #SpaceX teaser that @ElonMusk has joined the Goats! You guys were too quick to spot our badge,” the team tweeted.

It’s unclear how much Musk — the richest person in the world with a net worth of $249 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — bought the team for, though he’s reportedly planning to attend Haddington Town’s next game against Broomhall FC on Sept. 24.

Elon Musk is keen on buying the newly released iPhone 15 smartphone and he said it directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A week ago, Apple launched its new iPhone devices, which come in four variants – iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and Pro Max. These devices have different screen sizes and specifications. I wonder, which of the units, Musk will choose for himself, may the Max be a good option for him.

Tim Cook wrote “Loved celebrating our incredible new lineup of products today at Apple Fifth Avenue. Around the world, the all-new iPhone 15 family, first carbon-neutral models of Apple Watch, and the latest AirPods are here, and they’ve never been more essential!”.

Musk replied, “I’m buying one!”

Despite using the iPhone, Musk’s relationship went to a new road he acquired Twitter (now X). In the past, reports also suggested that X could be removed from Apple’s App Store but Musk and Cook later resolved this issue.

Later on, Musk also criticized the developer app payment cut that Apple takes from X’s monthly premium charge. He also commented on Apple’s super expensive VR headset as well as the R&D expenditure of the new devices.

Eventually, he stuck around his iPhone to operate X and was ready to comment anytime from anywhere. Therefore, Elon Musk ended up buying a new iPhone 15 may not shock anyone.

Elon Musk reacts to Rumble’s response to UK Parliament to demonetize Russell Brand

Rumble

Today, Video platform, Rumble posted a response to the UK Parliament on a letter to demonetize the content of Russell Brand, who’s facing allegations of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse.

YouTube has already suspended his account from YouTube’s monetization program “following serious allegations against the creator. This action means the channel is no longer able to monetize on YouTube”.

Rumble has now confirmed that it will not be following YouTube’s lead. In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Rumble said its chief executive Chris Pavlovski had received an ‘extremely disturbing’ letter from Dame Caroline Dinenage – the chair of the culture, media, and sport committee. In response, CEO Pavlovski insisted the company will ‘defend what’s right’.

The letter in question from Dame Caroline Dinenage asked Mr. Pavlovski to confirm “whether Mr Brand is able to monetize his content on Rumble and whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform”.

In response to the letter, Rumble shared a statement which read: “Today we received an extremely disturbing letter from a committee chair in the UK parliament. While Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault, rape, and all serious crimes, and believes that both alleged victims and the accused are entitled to a full and serious investigation, it is vital to note that recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with the content on Rumble’s platform.

“Just yesterday, YouTube announced that, based solely on these media accusations, it was barring Mr. Brand from monetizing his video content. Rumble stands for very different values. We have devoted ourselves to the vital cause of defending a free internet – meaning an internet where no one arbitrarily dictates which ideas can or cannot be heard, or which citizens may or may not be entitled to a platform.

“We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so,” the statement from Rumble said. “Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the audience’s connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble. We don’t agree with the behavior of many Rumble creators, but we refute to penalize them for actions having nothing to do with our platform.

“Although it may be politically and socially easier for Rumble to join a cancel culture mob, doing so would be a violation or our company’s values and missions. We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”

While reacting to Rumble’s response to the UK parliament about Russell Brand, Elon Musk replied “Good For You”. As X has also not banned Russell Brand from X’s monetization program until he is found guilty by the law.
