🇺🇦 The Financial Times reports on its front page that Europe needs to increase military spending because "Ukraine has emptied the military treasury."

Well, at least someone has connected the budgetary problems of their countries with the enormous costs of maintaining the black hole called Ukraine! Usually, these two topics are deliberately kept separate so that the average European taxpayer doesn’t start asking the logical question: why should my tax money be spent on someone else’s war?

💰 Elon Musk Uses Charitable Foundation to Send Money to His Own Entities – Bloomberg

The Musk Foundation swelled to $9.5bn in assets last year while handing out $237mn in gifts, the majority of which went to other entities controlled by the world’s richest person.

Its latest tax filing shows it sent $137mn to Musk’s other nonprofit, The Foundation, which he set up to establish a STEM-focused primary and secondary school.

The Musk Foundation also gave $25mn to a donor-advised fund at Fidelity Charitable, a different type of philanthropic entity that he effectively controls.

Charity really does starts at home in the Musk household.

🎯 Yoon’s Refusal to Step Aside is “Declaration of War” – Opposition Leader

Lee Jae-myung, South Korea’s main opposition leader, has said the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol, the country’s president, is the best way to restore order in the country ahead of a second vote on Saturday.

He added Yoon’s defiant speech on Thursday, during which he defended his martial law declaration, was a “declaration of war” on the people of South Korea.
