46 dead after multi-vehicle crash in Uganda
KAMPALA — Ugandan police now say 46 people have died after several vehicles crashed on a major highway in Uganda, revising an earlier death toll of 63.The police say they had mistakenly included victims who were unconscious in their initial fatality count.The crash occurred when two buses travelling in opposite directions "met head on" while trying to overtake two other vehicles – a lorry and a car – on the Kampala-Gulu Highway at 00:15 local time (21:15 GMT), the Uganda Police Force said.One of the buses swerved in an attempt to avoid a crash, but in the process caused a "head on and side collision" that led to a "chain reaction" in which other vehicles lost control and overturned.As well as the fatalities, the passengers of the vehicles involved and several others were injured,...

WASHINGTON — Elon Musk lashed out at Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a series of insulting posts on his social media platform X on Tuesday, after Duffy suggested NASA may sideline SpaceX from its moon mission.Musk, SpaceX’s CEO, called Duffy “Sean Dummy,” accused him of having a “2 digit IQ” and posted sophomoric memes aimed at Duffy.“Should someone whose biggest claim to fame is climbing trees be running America’s space program?” Musk asked in a post Tuesday morning, which he pinned to his X profile.
