The New York Times says president Musk “was not initially expected to be part of the dinner but joined as it was underway.” Images originally shared on a now deleted Instagram story from a person who is reportedly “at Mar-a-lago a lot,” described the scene as follows:
“At 8:30 PM Musk appears out of nowhere and sits himself down and Bezos looks completely caught off guard and uncomfortable like he had been cock-blocked... The tension between Musk and Bezos known rivals is palpable as they do their best to engage politely but clearly have no love for each other...”

From gadgets that’ll take care of the chores to smart coffee machines and cozy throws, here are some of our favorite gadgets and goods that’ll spruce up any home.
Dry Studio’s new mechanical keyboard is much more domesticated than its supercar-inspired one. The Petbrick 65 is a $239 small-format wireless board that comes in two color options: calico and “odd-eye” (like a black cat with heterochromia).
Each color includes a magnetic fluffy surround, so you can pet your cat-like board — with more colors coming later.
While the FAA has restricted airspace access for drones over much of New Jersey, it’s also posted a video that might help people figure out which flying objects might be a plane, helicopter, or properly registered and authorized drone that’s just following the rules.
That way, people might stop shining lasers at planes, a problem the FAA says is up 300 percent in the area compared to last year, mostly from people who think they see something weird.
PetaPixel’s Chris and Jordan have another installment in their year-end YouTube tradition — ranking the best and worst cameras and lenses of the year amidst an array of silly drinking games.
I’m willing to forgive them for not naming the Pentax 17 Best Camera, but only because Chris’s dog makes an adorable cameo.


Sharge has a knack for see-through power banks and quirky accessories, and it’s apparently releasing a 65W GaN charger that looks like a little turntable.
Notebookcheck found the Chinese-language listing for the translucent charger, with a built-in retractable USB-C cable and the words “Get your groove on” emblazoned on its spinning reel. 65W GaN chargers are commonplace today, but this one seems fun and fidgety.
Bluesky COO Rose Wang, in an interview with Buffer:
Where we want monetization to go is to align our incentives with our users, creators and developers. And so as they’re making more money, we should be making money, but if they’re not making money, we shouldn’t be making money. And so our goal is: let’s build a payment system so that it enables these payments to work on the app and across other apps on the ecosystem much easier. And then we’ll increase the volume of those transactions, and the creators and folks take home most of it, and we just take a percentage of the transaction fee.
It might take awhile before they arrive, Wang says. The planned subscription is also set to launch early next year.
