Elon Musk Says Tesla Used “Al Copone” Style Testing On Cybertruck To Ensure It’s Bulletproof

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk says that Tesla used Tommy guns in an Al Capone-style test to determine whether the Cybertruck is truly bulletproof. Musk explained the process during a post on Twitter, last week.

Musk’s comment was prompted by YouTuber Farzad Mesbahi sharing a video of a pre-release Cybertruck covered in bullet indentations driving on the highway. “We emptied the entire drum magazine of a Tommy gun into the driver door Al Capone style,” Musk wrote. “No bullets penetrated into the passenger compartment.”

Users on Twitter had mixed responses to Musk’s post. One wrote: “Maybe you can spend less time shooting guns at it and more time making it a feasible car for production that is a compelling truck for things like off roading and hauling things. No? Guns instead? Alright boss.” Another wrote back in support of Musk: “Jesus dude, it’s just a fun little test. The bulletproofness is just a coincidental side effect of the structural steel required for the exoskeleton design. Off-roading & hauling are all designed in and well tested.”

Outside of his work with Tesla, Musk has found himself in various headlines regarding his ex, Grimes, in recent weeks. The singer is currently seeking to dismiss the parental rights lawsuit that Musk filed in Texas, last month. She argues, she and the kids no longer live in the state and that Musk himself even spends two to three days a week in California. The former couple shares three. Be on the lookout for further updates on Musk and the Cybertruck when the car is delivered to owners, next month.

Kanye West Claims Car Crash Gave Him Autism In Desperate Text To Elon Musk

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Elon Musk used to be very good friends. Overall, Musk was a huge supporter of Ye and even went to some of his Donda listening parties. However, things eventually soured once Musk bought Twitter. Ye returned to the platform and immediately started trolling Elon. He posted unflattering pictures of the man, and it was all because of his supposed crackdown on anti-semitic content on the platform. This was in the midst of Ye’s alt-right meltdown, and Musk eventually took action.

Since that time, the two are no longer on speaking terms. However, that doesn’t mean Ye hasn’t tried to reach out. In fact, it seems as though the artist actually misses his friendship with Elon. We know this thanks to Ian Connor, surprisingly. In some texts posted to Instagram, you can see that Ye took a screenshot of a message he sent Elon, and told Ian to broadcast the message to the world. As you will read, there is one very unique revelation that was being made here.

Kanye West Speaks Out

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Firstly, the message begins with Kanye telling Elon that he wants to talk to him. However, he understands that Musk has no moral obligation to speak. Subsequently, Ye notes that he and Elon’s relationship can’t stay the same once they are on speaking terms again. Additionally, he drops the bombshell that he doesn’t think he is bipolar. Instead, he is under the belief that his infamous car crash from the early 2000s gave him autism. We’re sure there are plenty of medical professionals who dispute such a claim.

He then finishes it all off by claiming that Kim is keeping his children from him. He also tells Elon that he could help out Twitter, which is a “struggling platform.” All-in-all, these are all statements that are fairly in line with how Ye has been moving over these past couple of years. Let us know your thoughts on all of it, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Elon Musk Threatened Warner Bros With “Scorched-Earth” Letter If Amber Heard Was Fired From “Aquaman 2”: Report

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk was reportedly ready to “burn the house down” if Warner Bros. fired Amber Heard from Aquaman 2, according to a new report from Variety. The outlet says that fans of Johnny Depp paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes, which stem from her infamous defamation trial with the actor. The notes reveal that Heard viewed the Aquaman 2 set as hostile and feature claims that Momoa would dress like Johnny Depp while wanting her fired.

“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes say. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.” Momoa hasn’t addressed the comments, but a DC spokesperson told the outlet: “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Another insider on the set added: “Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set… And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.”

When the outlet looked into why Heard was never fired, a source revealed that Musk, Heard’s former boyfriend, had one of his litigators send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if she was let go. Musk also hasn’t commented on the report. Musk and Heard dated for the year following her divorce from Johnny Depp.

Aquaman 2 will finally be hitting theaters on December 20. When Heard’s presence was barely included in the trailer for the film, rumors began floating that her role was edited down due to the highly-publicized defamation trial with Johnny Depp. Director James Wan has said that this isn’t the case.

Elon Musk’s Father Sides With Grimes Amid Custody Battle

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk and Grimes are currently seeking custody of their three children together. If you remember, Musk and Grimes only revealed their third child together, last month. Overall, this came as a surprise to many, especially since they broke up a long time ago. However, Musk is no stranger to having children. He has had 11 throughout the course of his life, and 10 are currently living. This can create some messy situations, although he doesn’t seem to mind, whatsoever.

Now that Musk is looking to take custody and move his children out of California, Grimes has replied with full force. In fact, she just got a huge win in their legal battle, as a judge will not let the kids leave the state. This is good news for Grimes, although it is not ideal for Elon. That said, in a new report from Page Six, Elon’s father Errol seems to be taking Grimes’ side.

Errol Musk Speaks On Elon Musk

“A woman is a very essential part of a home, a woman is the center of the home. The mother is the sun and the rest of the family are the planets. If a father went away for a few weeks, it would make no difference, but a woman is essential,” Errol Musk explained. “A father and two sons living together is not really a family, it’s just three men; a mother and two sons is a family.”

Elon probably won’t appreciate his father weighing in like this. However, his father has always been critical of him, so this should come as no surprise. Let us know your thoughts on the situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the entertainment world.

Elon Musk Trolled By Twitter Users With Death Hoax

October 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

News for Elon Musk hasn’t been particularly great for a while. Earlier this week he was sued by his ex Grimes to establish parental rights to their three children. If it goes in her favor that could lead to eventual custody or child support battles. It comes after a concerning few weeks for the couple where Grimes was forced to publicly beg Elon to let her see their son. It also follows controversial details in Musk’s biography where he sent pictures of Grimes’ c-section to numerous people without her consent.

For the past few months Musk also faced backlash online. He’s been accused by fellow celebs and a mass of users on Twitter for ruining the platform. One notable recent moment was when Ice Cube came after the tech billionaire for his poor handling of the social media app. Now even more changes he’s making to the once beloved app have fans trolling him even further. Accounts are spreading fake information all over the site claiming that Musk has died. One parody account in particular made a tweet reading “Elon Musk found dead at Twitter HQ of apparent suicide.” Check out the post and some of the responses below.

Musk also caught a lot of backlash for defending Russell Brand. The actor is in the midst of some damning sexual assault allegations in a new lawsuit. Musk described the lawsuits claims as a witch hunt and dismissed others coming forward with their own stories of abuse from Brand.

In one of the more weird and less damning stories for Musk recently, the name of his third child with Grimes was revealed. Techno Mechanicus is the expectedly strange name of the child whose existence was only revealed through Musk’s biography.

Grimes Files Lawsuit Against Elon Musk To Establish Parental Rights Of Their Children

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drama continues to follow Elon Musk wherever he goes. Some of it spawns from his relationship with his ex Grimes, which continues to be dragged into the public light. Last month that spawned an online beef with Shivon Zills, another woman who has children with Musk. Ultimately, they settled the beef pretty quickly showing off their co-parenting ability. But the weird energy between Musk and his respective exes re-emerged when a biography about the tech billionaire was released.

In the biography, it was unveiled that Grimes and Elon Musk actually have a third child that was previously unknown to the public. The existence of the child and their name, Techno Mechanicus, caught a lot of attention online. What spoke even more directly to Musk’s attitude was a story about the mother’s c-section. Musk reportedly sent pictures of the procedure to numerous people unprompted including Grimes’ brother and father. He also reportedly didn’t understand why she was upset by the move. Now the tension between the two is moving into a legal format.

Now according to Page Six the singer, whose real name is Claire Boucher, is suing Musk. She filed a a petition to establish parental relationship which could lead the court to identify the legal parents of a child when they’re unmarried. Though the filings have been sealed they report that Musk is yet to respond to the legal maneuver. If the move to establish parenthood works it could lead to an opportunity for Boucher to seek out custody or child support in the future.

Grimes hasn’t released a new album since 2020’s Miss Anthropocene. Earlier this year she teamed up with Illangelo for a new single called “I Wanna Be Software.” There have also been dozens of tracks released with the singer’s AI-generated vocals through her GrimesAI platform. What do you think of Grimes having to sue Elon Musk to establish parenthood of their three children? Let us know in the comment section below.

September 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk shared a video of himself firing a Barrett .50-caliber sniper on Twitter, Friday night. The slow-motion clip is generating tons of traffic on the site. Within 24 hours, the video has racked up over 72 million views.

“Hip-firing my Barrett 50 cal,” Musk captioned the video. One follower joked in response: “In the distance, you can hear anti-gun democrats screaming…” Another wrote: “How will Zuck copy this?” referencing the recent feud between the two billionaires.

The post came just a day after Musk traveled to the Texas-Mexico border in Eagle Pass. While sharing pictures from the trip, Musk voiced his complaints about immigration in America. “US Border Patrol just reported the highest number of recorded illegal immigrants in history at over 260,000 this month. The full number, including unrecorded, may be over half a million per month, which is the population of Wyoming,” he said.

While replying to a user who suggested the U.S. hire more judges and lawyers to process the immigrants, Musk shot down the idea. “We need a greatly simplified process and at least some evidence for asylum,” he began. “Right now, no evidence at all is required. Just say the magic phrase ‘I seek asylum’ and you’re in. There simply aren’t enough qualified judges in the country to hire. The wait is 5 to 7 years! And, even if the case is lost, there is almost no repatriation. Btw, the officials at the border say that things were sensible under Obama, so this is not just an R vs D issue. They said open borders started 2 years ago.”

Elon Musk Supports Russell Brand Amid Sexual Assault Accusations

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The allegations of sexual assault against Russell Brand took the pop culture world by storm as of late, sparking a lot of debate. On one hand, many stand by the four women who anonymously spoke out against him via an exposé from The UK Times, who claim he mistreated them between 2006 and 2013. On the other, many others support the actor’s staunch denial of these claims, a group that seems to include Elon Musk. Moreover, the tech giant recently addressed the topic while conversing with Ben Shapiro. In his remarks, he invoked the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” and how that’s flipped in his eyes as people aim to “destroy” his life.

“There needs to be, obviously, a conviction here,” Elon Musk said of Russell Brand on Thursday (September 28). “It can’t be guilty until proven innocent. Because, obviously, we’re just sort of in the witch burning phase here. Just being declared a witch is enough to make you a witch and be burnt. Seems like an odd coincidence that it’s happening when Russell is really gaining traction, questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom. I think we’re running out of conspiracy theories that didn’t turn out to be true.”

Russell Brand In Los Angeles In 2020

Furthermore, one of Brand’s accusers alleges that he assaulted her when she was just 16, and another claimed he did so in Los Angeles in 2012. In addition, the younger of the two described her bond with Russell Brand as an “emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. According to her testimony, the 48-year-old “forced his penis down her throat” to the point of choking, and she had to punch him for him to stop. As a result of all this controversy, Brand postponed his U.K. comedy tour and lost his YouTube commerce perks.

Meanwhile, he continues to deny accusations and thank supporters for their outreach despite the backlash. In fact, Musk suggested that “the potential of false accusations” is by no means coincidental because he’s currently “rattling the cage” of the “powers that be.” Debate like this is all too common online, and will likely continue until authorities reveal the truth. For more news and the latest updates on Russell Brand and Elon Musk, stay up to date on HNHH.

Ice Cube Claps Back At Twitter User Over Crack Epidemic Claim

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Cube is no stranger to generating controversy from some of his political takes. Back in July, he drew a lot of controversy from fans and rappers online for appearing on an episode of conservative pundit Tucker Carlson’s Twitter show. During the interview, the pair dug into Cube’s anti-vaccine sentiments. He told a story about how he had turned down a major payday from a film that would have required him to be vaccinated while on set. More recently, he’s been vocal about Elon Musk and how the tech billionaire has largely failed to improve Twitter since purchasing it. He posted a meme intended to troll Musk earlier this month.

Despite his issues with the platform, Ice Cube recently gave his Twitter fans the chance to ask him anything they wanted to. One fan asked an evocatively phrased question about NWA’s role in the diminishing of conscious rap. “Was NWA part of the agenda to destroy conscious rap which was growing in popularity at the time, and promote sex violence and gangster behaviour amongst the youth?” their questions read. As you’d expect fans in the comments have mixed reactions to the question but some agree. “Unfortunately music did play a part with the crack being pumped into our black and latino neighborhoods,” his response read.

Ice Cube Refutes Claims Of NWA’s Impact On Crack Epidemic

— Ice Cube (@icecube) September 25, 2023

Ice Cube responded to both fans, clapping back at their assertions. “Bullsh*t. Crack was in the neighborhoods a decade before gangsta rap. In the 70s they called it freebase. So was heroine, weed, Mollys, gangbanging, drive bys, pimping and hoing, dropping out of school, young girls getting pregnant, cussing and the using the word N*gga. It was all here before NWA,” his detailed response reads.

Ice Cube was letting fans ask him questions to celebrate the announcement of his new album. The project is called Man Down and he will reportedly be putting the finishing touches on it in a few weeks. What do you think of Ice Cube’s response to questions about NWA and the crack epidemic? Let us know in the comment section below.
