Public Health Experts Warn Oversight Unraveling

The agency founded to guard Americans from quack cures has quietly mothballed its decades‑old milk testing program, leaving state labs scrambling just as bird flu sweeps U.S. dairies.

Elon Musk, once celebrated as a visionary, is now unraveling under the weight of his own hubris. His chaotic mismanagement of Twitter (now "X") gutted its moderation, alienated advertisers, and turned it into a haven for spambots and extremists. Tesla, once synonymous with innovation, now struggles with delays, recalls, and regulatory scrutiny over its self-driving promises. Neuralink faces ethical concerns, Hyperloop fizzled out, and SpaceX’s achievements are overshadowed by Musk’s erratic behavior.
