Elon Musk Accuses Bill Clinton of Importing Hundreds of Thousands of Somalians Amid Somali Fraud in Minnesota

Elon Musk celebrated the end of 2024 on December 31 with his family at Mar-A-Lago with Donald and Melania. He also played a practical joke on his 210 million followers on X-Twitter by changing his profile name to “Kekius Maximus” for a day. He also changed his profile photo to an image of the popular character Pepe the Frog dressed in gladiator armor, inspired by the film THE GLADIATOR starring Russel Crowe.
