Democrats saw a high-profile victory in Wisconsin, where Susan Crawford defeated GOP-backed Brad Svhimel in the judicial race.

Through his PAC, Musk poured over $21 million into the campaign backing Schimel, he held a townhall where he handed out $1 million checks and other giveaways to registered voters who signed a petition or referred others to sign.

Musk’s money made the Supreme Court election one of the most closely watched ones and Musk said the race would determine “the future of America and Western civilization”. It was electorally the first big test of the second Trump term.

Following the defeat, Musk had to face a wave of gloating on X while the Trump administration busied itself with the Liberation Day announcement. The Democrats’ official account posted a picture of Musk donning a cheese head and accompanied with the single word “Loser”.

“As a little girl, I never could have imagined that I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won,” Crawford said after the win.

Well-known Elon-hater Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat House member from Texas, posted: “Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F off!,” she wrote.

Trump confirmed Musk would be back to his business

After the election result, it was reported that Trump told his inner circle that Musk would soon leave his role and will go back to his business. Elon Musk too confirmed the same before Trump that his DOGE team was nearing the completion of their primary objective.

Garbage: White House

The White House maintained that Elon Musk was not the administrator of DOGE and is a special government employee who joins the government for a short and specific period of time — 130 days or less.

The tenure of a special government employee, however, may increase.
After Politico’s Rachel Bade claimed it as a ‘scoop’, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the “scoop” is garbage because this is already known.

“Elon Musk and President Trump have both *publicly* stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete,” Karoline said.

Picture this: You’re scrolling through social media, and suddenly, you see posts claiming Dennis Rodman, the NBA icon, has passed away. Panic sets in—could it be true? Thankfully, the 63-year-old basketball legend was quick to set the record straight, proving he’s very much alive with a cheeky Instagram update. Here’s the full story behind the bizarre rumor and how Rodman turned it into a moment of triumph.

What Sparked the Dennis Rodman Death Hoax?

It all kicked off on April 1, 2025—yep, April Fools’ Day. Social media lit up with whispers that Dennis Rodman, the five-time NBA champ famous for his wild style and rebounding skills, had died. Some even threw in a dramatic twist, saying it was due to an “autoerotic asphyxiation accident.” Talk about a jaw-dropper! With no official word from Rodman’s camp at first, fans were left wondering if this was a sick joke or a tragic reality. Given the date, though, it didn’t take long for people to suspect it was just a tasteless prank.

Dennis Rodman wasn’t about to let the rumor mill have the last word. On Tuesday afternoon, he hopped on Instagram with a photo that screamed confidence—rocking a Chicago Bulls cap, shades, and his signature swagger. His caption? “Yesss Sirr Alive and Well, What’s up #alive #imhere.” Classic Rodman—short, bold, and straight to the point. That one post was all it took to squash the rumors and reassure his legion of followers that the “Worm” is still very much in the game.

Fans React to the Wild April Fools’ Prank

Once Rodman dropped his update, the internet exhaled a collective sigh of relief—followed by some serious shade-throwing. Fans flooded his comments with love and frustration. “I swear I was just coming to check,” one wrote, while another chimed in, “Definitely came straight here.” Others weren’t so forgiving, blasting the pranksters: “Death is not a joke even on April Fools’ Day,” one fumed. Another added, “Why y’all playing with Dennis Rodman like that?

It’s clear the hoax hit a nerve, but it also reminded everyone just how much the NBA legend is still adored.

Hollywood has lost a legend. Val Kilmer, the actor who brought unforgettable characters like Iceman, Jim Morrison, and Batman to life, died on April 1, 2025, at age 65 in Los Angeles. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to The New York Times that pneumonia was the cause, a final chapter for a star who had already beaten throat cancer in 2014. Let’s take a heartfelt look at Kilmer’s journey, his standout roles, and the legacy he leaves behind.

From Top Secret! to Top Gun: A Star is Born

Val Kilmer’s Hollywood story began with a bang in 1984’s Top Secret!, a zany spy spoof where he played a rock star tangled in Cold War antics. His charm and good looks hinted at big things to come. By 1986, he was soaring as Iceman in Top Gun, opposite Tom Cruise. That role made him a heartthrob and a box-office draw, setting the tone for a career full of surprises.

Kilmer wasn’t just a pretty face—he had depth. In 1991, he stunned audiences as Jim Morrison in The Doors, capturing the rock star’s wild energy so perfectly it’s still a fan favorite. His voice, his swagger—it was like Morrison had come back to life.

Becoming Batman and Beyond

In 1995, Kilmer stepped into the Batsuit for Batman Forever. Sandwiched between Michael Keaton’s brooding take and George Clooney’s lighter spin, Kilmer’s Batman was cool and collected, even if the film’s over-the-top style didn’t win everyone over. Critics like Janet Maslin noted the gimmicks overshadowed the depth, but Kilmer’s presence held its own.

He kept mixing it up with roles like an FBI agent in Thunderheart (1992) and a slick thief in The Saint (1997). Then, in 2022, he returned as Iceman in Top Gun: Maverick. Despite his voice being altered by cancer treatments, his scene with Cruise was a tear-jerker, showing the world he still had that magic.

A Fighter to the End

Kilmer’s life wasn’t all glitz. Diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, he fought hard and came out the other side, only to face pneumonia in 2025. His daughter Mercedes shared with The New York Times that he passed on Tuesday, April 1—a loss felt deeply by fans who admired his grit as much as his talent.

Off-screen, Kilmer was a puzzle: magnetic, a bit elusive, and always true to himself. He took a decade-long break from Hollywood at one point, proving fame wasn’t his only drive. But when he was on, he was unforgettable.

Val Kilmer wasn’t just an actor—he was a storyteller who lived his roles. From rocking out as Morrison to suiting up as Batman, he brought something special every time. His films raked in nearly $2 billion worldwide, but it’s the memories he created that really count.

As tributes pour in, one thing’s clear: Kilmer’s work will live on. Whether you’re rewatching Top Gun or discovering The Doors for the first time, his spirit shines through. Rest in peace, Val—you’ll always be our Iceman.
