Kosovo in political stalemate as parliament fails to elect speaker

Kosovo's parliament failed to elect a new speaker for the fourth time on Friday, prolonging a legislative crisis that has prevented efforts to form a new government more than two months after an inconclusive election. Under Kosovo's constitution, a parliamentary speaker must be voted in before the election winner can form a government, but without cross-party support that is proving difficult, and the stalemate has exposed deep divisions in Europe's newest state. In the February 9 parliamentary election, following an acrimonious campaign in which outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the opposition "animals" and "thieves", his Vetevendosje party came first but did not secure an outright majority.

Elon Musk's government role gets even murkier

Elon Musk said he would keep doing part-time work for the Trump administration beyond next month, raising more questions about his role and whether the White House is following the rules.
Elon Musk's involvement with the U.S. government has become increasingly complex, as highlighted by recent developments. Musk's companies, SpaceX and Tesla, have significant contracts with the government, including a $2.9 billion contract for SpaceX to develop a spacecraft for NASA's Artemis program and Tesla's electric vehicles being used by various government agencies. Additionally, Musk has been vocal about his political views, often criticizing government policies on social media, which has led to tensions with some politicians. The situation has become murkier with reports that the Pentagon has been using Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, for military operations in Ukraine, raising questions about the blurred lines between Musk's business interests and his role in government affairs. As Musk's influence grows, so do the concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the need for clearer boundaries between his private enterprises and public responsibilities.
