Boris Johnson "wanted to be injected with Covid-19 on television" to calm public fears, an ex-aide has said.

On Sunday, Musk aimed a series of tweets at Wikipedia and its co-founder Jimmy Wales, mocking a call for more funding before immediately implying that the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation was mismanaging its funds. Not to be outdone by his own tweet, Musk immediately followed it up with a challenge: β€œI will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia.” "
