NEW YORK – Thousands of mourners filled St.

As tensions flared online between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Thursday, Musk briefly declared he would start shutting down one of SpaceX’s most crucial spacecrafts — the Dragon capsule — used to transport both astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station. The dramatic statement came as a direct response to Trump’s warning that government contracts with Musk’s aerospace and satellite ventures might be cut.
Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, to say that SpaceX “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.” The severity of the claim was unclear at first. But hours later, Musk walked it back in a reply to another user on the platform, confirming he didn’t actually plan to follow through.

New York state education leaders have made it clear they will not back down from their decision to prohibit the use of Native American-themed mascots and team names in public schools, despite mounting pressure from the Trump administration, which warned that continuing the ban could result in the loss of federal funding.
In response to the U.S. Department of Education’s criticism, New York officials sent a letter on Thursday suggesting that rather than reversing the ban, they may expand it to include mascots and nicknames referencing any racial or ethnic identity that could be viewed as offensive by federal standards.

In an appearance on Al Arabiya English’s “Global News Today” on Friday, Errol Musk, father of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, weighed in on the recent tensions between his son and President Donald Trump, expressing confidence that Trump would ultimately come out on top.
“It seems a bit silly to me,” Musk remarked when asked about the conflict.
During the interview, host Tom Burges Watson posed a question about whether the situation signaled a permanent rift or a temporary clash. “Do you think this is a bump in the road, or do you think this is the end of the road for the relationship between your son and Mr. Trump?” he asked.
“Just a bump in the road. It will fizzle out in a few days,” Errol Musk responded.

A French rabbi reported being physically attacked for the second time in just a week, underscoring a disturbing increase in hate crimes sweeping across the country. Speaking with Reuters, Rabbi Elie Lemmel described the assault as part of a troubling pattern of antisemitic violence.
Rabbi Lemmel recounted that the incident took place while he was sitting peacefully at a café in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris. Without warning, someone struck him on the head with a chair.
“I found myself on the ground, I immediately felt blood flowing,” he says.
At first, he couldn’t make sense of what had happened. He thought an object might have fallen on him from above before realizing the painful truth—it had been a deliberate attack.

President Trump remained unfazed Friday morning when asked about his recent rift with Elon Musk, steering the conversation during a brief exchange with The New York Post toward economic achievements and his strong polling, rather than diving into the fallout with his once-close supporter.
“Nothing catches me by surprise. Nothing,” the president remarked when questioned about Musk’s pointed attacks from the previous day, made in the wake of his resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency.
“The numbers are through the roof, the stock market is up, billions are pouring in from tariffs, and my poll numbers are the highest they’ve ever been. Other than that, what can I tell you, right?” he added, sounding upbeat and relaxed.
