Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

Chemical pollution a threat comparable to climate change, scientists warn
More than 100 million ‘novel entity’ chemicals are in circulation, with health impact not widely recognised
Chemical pollution is “a threat to the thriving of humans and nature of a similar order as climate change” but decades behind global heating in terms of public awareness and action, a report has warned.
The industrial economy has created more than 100 million “novel entities”, or chemicals not found in nature, with somewhere between 40,000 and 350,000 in commercial use and production, the report says.

Trump’s DOJ is targeting political opponents with blatantly false charges. But does it even matter if he loses in court? And while it's tempting to say "the cruelty is the point" when it comes to Trump, it's worth looking closer at his motives behind it. The Big Picture has some incisive deep dives.
