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.

A post shared by DENNIS RODMAN (@dennisrodman)

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.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.

Mangione, who has pleaded not guilty, faces both state and federal charges, with prosecutors arguing the killing was a premeditated attack against the health insurance industry.
The decision has sparked intense debate online.

Online Outrage Sparks Debate Over Death Penalty Demand for Luigi Mangione

Supporters of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s announcement saw it as a necessary step in cracking down on violent crime. One user declared, “Law and order is back,” while another wrote, “BASED AF – this is what I voted for!” Others viewed it as a sign of US President Donald Trump’s tough-on-crime policies in action.

However, some were skeptical of the timing, considering the announcement came on April 1. “…April fools?” one user asked, while another claimed, “The April 1 date gave it away, happy fools day everyone…”

The decision also reignited debates about the fairness of the justice system. Some critics argued that Mangione, who has pleaded not guilty, is being treated differently because of his alleged victim’s high-profile status.

One user wrote, “This kind of pisses me off. There are plenty of people wrongfully murdered, and because they aren’t the CEO of a big company or a notable person, their cases get pushed aside. Justice should be equally available to all, no matter their status.”

Others raised concerns about due process, with one comment stating, “Guilty until proven innocent. No one even knows the evidence they used to say it was him. At this point, it’s still 100% speculative and driven by propaganda. Did he admit to it or something?”

Meanwhile, one user took a different angle, referencing Mangione’s first name in a joke about Nintendo’s famous video game brothers and wrote, “Mario is going to be so upset.”

Some users also started trending and wrote #FreeLuigiMangione to show their support, with some claiming the case is being used to “satisfy the Oligarchs’ demand for blood.”
