Elon Musk is once again showing his a** on his X platform. The Tesla chief is pushing conspiracy theories in response to a video of immigrants assaulting a New York City police officer.

The X owner is back on his bullsh*t. Spotted on Crooks and Liars, Musk decided to add his unwanted two cents into the “migrant crisis” after a video of migrants beating an NYPD officer went viral.

Dipping into the white supremacist bag, Musk used the great replacement theory, describing it as a tool the Biden Administration is using to influence the 2024 presidential election.
“This explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote. As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported!! Outrageous,” Musk wrote in a quote post on X, formerly Twitter.

Elon Musk Is Also Helping MAGA Lover Gina Carano
Musk wasn’t done showing his a**. Actor and former professional MMA fighter Gina Carano, who got canned from The Mandalorian for her MAGA-influenced political views, announced she is suing Disney and that Musk and X will be backing her.
Per NBC News:
“A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated,” the lawsuit says. “And so it was with Carano.”
X is helping cover the costs of the lawsuit, Carano confirmed Tuesday in a post to the social media platform.
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light,” she wrote.
Carano also claims that she was the victim of a “bullying smear campaign” and that Disney wanted to “make an example” out of her.
Okay girl.
Elon Musk continues to prove he has an allegiance to losers.

This Is The Way: The Mandalorian & Grogu Announced By Lucasfilm

This isn’t shocking news, but it’s very much welcomed. Tuesday, Lucasfilm announced that Din Djarin and his lovable sidekick, Grogu, aka Baby Yoda’s adventure, will also reach the big screen.

This is the way.
The Mandalorian and his trusty sidekick lived on Disney+ for three seasons, with rumblings of the duo possibly teaming up for the feature-length film.

Finally, Lucasfilm has made the dreams of fans of The Mandalorian come true by announcing that a film based on Star Wars favorite duo is happening with Jon Favreau directing and producing alongside Kathleen Kennedy and the current architect of the Star Wars universe, Dave Filoni.
The film’s name will be The Mandalorian & Grogu, but it’s always subject to change. Production of the movie will begin later this year.

The Star Wars film franchise has been in limbo following 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, closing the chapter of The Skywalker saga and leaving fans arguing about how good the last three films were.
A Rogue Squadron movie from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was originally on the slate before Disney removed it from the slate. It looks like the House of the Mouse is relying on one of its most popular franchises to reinvigorate the Star Wars film machine.
Lucasfilm wasn’t done with the announcements. Fans of the most recent Star Wars Disney+ series, Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson, will be happy to learn the show will be getting a second season.

The production company announced that the show’s next season is in development, and Dave Filoni will oversee the project.
It looks like the future is bright for Star Wars fans.

Former Jar-Jar Binks Actor Returns As A Bad A** Jedi In ‘The Mandalorian,’ Twitter Says This Is The Way

The latest episode of The Mandalorian was a redemption story for a longtime Star Wars actor.
Ahmed Best, known for his role as clumsy Gungan/Senator Jar-Jar Binks from the polarizing Star Wars prequel films, is back in a galaxy far, far away. Best appeared in Wednesday’s episode of the popular Disney+ original series The Mandalorian as the Jedi Knight, Kelleran Beq.
Beq answered a major question revealing himself to the Jedi Knight who got our favorite youngling, Baby Yoda, to safety and out of the crosshairs of clone troopers who were killing the force-sensitive warriors as part of Emperor Palpatine’s Order 66.
Best has taken on three roles in the Star Wars universe, Jar-Jar Binks, Achk Med-Beq in Attack of The Clones, and Kelleran Beq, a game show host for Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge, basically Legend of The Hidden Temple with a Stars Wars spin on it.
Beq was never considered Star Wars canon until his appearance in The Mandalorian, so who knows, that might not be the last time we see Kelleran Beq wielding two lightsabers.
To celebrate his return to the sci-fi/fantasy franchise, Best shared a photo of himself in the gym with the caption, “Gratitude! Good to be back. There is so much to say and share. It’s going to take a couple of days. But, for now, I’ll just say thank you to all that have held me up and made me better.”

Twitter Loves Seeing Best Return As Kelleran Beq
A much brighter outlook from the actor, who wrote in his book, he was deeply depressed, leading to career setbacks and even death threats following Jar-Jar Binks’s poor reception.
Twitter has been praising the actor’s return to the franchise and the fact Beq is officially canon.

This is the way.
