Elon Musk's telling the people of Germany to move on from their country's past mistakes and embrace their culture with open arms ... and, many online are drawing more connections to the Third Reich.

The tech entrepreneur made a surprise speech to the Alternative for Germany party -- also known as (AfD), a far-right political party -- Saturday ... and, he talked a lot about preserving and finding pride in German culture.

Listen to the speech for all of it ... but, his basic point is that Germans shouldn't feel bad for being proud of their ethnicity, their culture and their country's shared value system.

Aryna Sabalenka won't win her third Australian Open in a row ... and, while she usually wins the break point, she reached her breaking point after the heartbreaking L -- taking it out on her trusty racket.

The Belarusian tennis standout was playing American Madison Keys in the final ... and, ended up losing the third set 7-5, dropping two out of three after battling back down 1-0 to force a tiebreaker.

After a hard-fought final point, Keys emerged victorious ... walking up to Sabalenka to hug -- which the superstar did politely, if a bit stony-faced.

Jewel is reaching out to her fans after performing at one of Donald Trump's inauguration celebrations ... issuing a big "I'm sorry" for her participation in the political weekend.

For those who missed it, the singer-songwriter performed at the "Make America Healthy Again" inauguration ball hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines ... after which she faced criticism for seemingly supporting Trump's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services -- and, indirectly supporting the new administration.

After Trump signed several executive orders ending diversity initiatives and announcing his administration will only recognize "2 genders -- male and female" ... Jewel is expressing regret for her participation in the inaugural festivities.

1/21/25, 9:00 AM PT -- Elon Musk has responded on his platform, X, to accusations he performed a Nazi salute, twice, in a speech after Donald Trump's inauguration yesterday.

He re-tweets a Libs of TikTok post featuring Democratic politicians with their arms up at similar angles ... Musk comments, "The legacy media is pure propaganda. You are the media now."

Elon Musk gave a speech to enthusiastic Donald Trump fans Monday, hours after the presidential inauguration ... and he made a gesture that harkened back to a dark time.

At Capital One Arena, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO strode to the podium, laughing maniacally, and thanked the cheering crowd ... and then slapped his right hand hard to his chest, and extended it out in front of him, palm down -- in what looks very suspiciously like a Nazi salute. He then repeated the same action to those seated behind him.

The provocative signal has many people online and on-air comparing the expression to the WWII-era "Sieg Heil" salute to Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler. That salute reportedly derives from an Ancient Roman Empire salute, more commonly performed with the slapped chest. Both salutes are generally associated with fascist history in Europe.

Billy Ray Cyrus was hit with brutal tech issues during his performance at the Liberty Ball to celebrate Trump’s inauguration -- and yeah, it was a total cringe-fest.

It all went down Monday night, and Billy was already on the struggle bus -- rocking a hoarse voice, no band, and attempting an a cappella version of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ... yeah, the one he featured on.

It was already heading toward an epic fail, and Billy seemed to know it -- trying to hype up the crowd to sing along. But then ... dun, dun, dun -- his guitar cut out.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is sticking to his signature style -- and nothing, not even freezing weather or Donald Trump’s inauguration can make him budge!

Fetterman strolled through D.C. Monday in shorts and a hoodie, looking more like he was heading to a barbecue than bracing for politics' biggest day of the year.

It’s unclear if Fetterman plans to switch up his look later or if he’s just built differently -- but to give you an idea of how cold it was, they had to move the entire inauguration indoors to the Capitol Rotunda to escape the chill.

Talk about a "holy s***" moment ... check out this insane video of a boy in China getting literally blown off his feet after a sewer explodes underneath him.

The wild footage was shot last Friday by a witness in China's Gansu Province, where you see the youngster walk up to a sewer opening and drop a firecracker inside.

Suddenly, the street detonates beneath his feet, sending him flying high into the air with all the debris. Soon, the kid comes crashing back down to earth on cement steps, causing him to suffer serious injuries.

Snoop Dogg's bringing Doggystyle to D.C. performing at an event for Donald Trump's inauguration ... and, the crowd didn't seem super into it.

The rapper performed at the Crypto Ball in Washington D.C. last night ... the first of several events marking Trump's ascension to the highest office in the land.

Check it out ... Snoop took the stage in front of a crowded audience and performed some of his hit songs -- including "Drop It Like It's Hot."

Savannah Guthrie is letting everyone know it's a new era at the "Today" show -- with a dash of humor -- after Hoda Kotb's departure and Craig Melvin taking her seat on the couch.

Guthrie and Melvin sat down with host Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show Thursday — and talked about Kotb's high-profile exit from the morning show after nearly 18 years.

Gutherie told a funny little tale about how she tossed out all of Hoda's "s***" after Kotb officially left the show last Friday.

Tennis star Daniil Medvedev paused his Australian Open match to beat the crap out of a net camera this week ... an epic meltdown that apparently worked wonders, as he went on to win by the skin of his teeth.

The outburst happened as the Russian was on the verge of going down two sets to one ... when he lost a point on a solid rally with Kasidit Samrej, the 418th-ranked player in the world.

After the tough moment, Medvedev approached the net and unloaded his racket on a camera that was sitting on the net ... shattering it -- and damaging his racket -- in the process.

Police in Florida are asking the public to keep their eyes peeled — and their noses sealed — for a couple of purported shoplifters who successfully carried out a poopy plan.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office released photos and a video of the suspects who allegedly robbed a Family Dollar store in Mulberry, FL — with one of them taking a dump right on the floor!!!

Yup, you read it right. Even the police were shocked by the crappy situation and said as much in their press release posted on X this past week.

Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ... saying she's a woman of steel -- and, people are unfairly criticizing her because of her race.

We caught up with the two stars in L.A. Saturday ... and, we asked them about Mayor Bass' response to the devastating wildfires -- 'cause both of them ardently supported Bass' run for the job.

You've gotta watch the clip ... YNB and KW get pretty heated just thinking about all the criticism Karen's received in recent days.

A Florida cop's outta work after a wild incident -- his own body cam captured him slamming his patrol car into a civilian's vehicle ... while he was distracted by porn on his phone.

The video shows Lake County Sheriff's Deputy Tristan Macomber slamming into another vehicle, his airbag deploying on impact -- moments later, he’s outside the car, picking up the phone from the floor and casually tossing it onto the seat, then checking on the other driver.

An internal affairs report from 2 weeks after the November crash claimed Macomber initially blamed the wreck on his brakes locking up when the car ahead stopped for a school bus.

Nikki Glaser’s Diddy jokes at the 2025 Golden Globes aren’t getting any laughs from two lawyers representing several of the rapper’s accusers.

Attorney Ariel Mitchell -- who represents alleged Diddy rape victim Ashley Parham and other Diddy accusers -- blasted Nikki Glaser for making jokes at the expense of others. Mitchell tells TMZ she hopes Nikki herself has never been sexually assaulted or mocked for it.

Mitchell also pointed out that, as a woman, one would think Nikki would know better, saying that making light of this ugly situation is exactly why so many sexual assault victims never come forward and report their abuse.

Nikki Glaser says the after-party of this year's Golden Globes just won't be the same ... 'cause Diddy's locked up -- and, the baby oil won't be flowing.

The comedian kicked off the 2025 ceremony with an approximately 11-minute long monologue ... and, she couldn't help but make a few jokes about the allegations the rap producer is facing in New York City.

Check out the clip ... Glaser jokes that Zendaya's movie "Challengers" is "more sexually charged than a Diddy credit card."

Mary Steenburgen says she thought her husband Ted Danson was a cool guy before they met ... until he punctuated a roll in the hay with a lame phrase.

The actress revealed the news to People at the Golden Gala red carpet on Friday ... explaining she always thought TD was a pretty cool guy because of his onscreen persona.

That all changed after they first had sex, MS says ... 'cause when they finished, she swears Danson couldn't help but say "gosh-a-rooni."
