“Hi, it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Wednesday, July 17, Kylian Mbappé is “a happy child” after having realized his dream of signing for Real Madrid. On Tuesday, he was presented in front of 85,000 supporters at the Bernabeu stadium, a record, a marketing operation but also a successful seduction operation with emotion.

The French Football Federation will contact FIFA and file a complaint after a video was released showing the newly crowned Argentine players in the Copa America singing a racist chant against French footballers. One of them, Enzo Fernandez, is the subject of disciplinary proceedings by his club Chelsea.

And then “it’s the last straw,” writes Elon Musk on X. The richest man in the world will move the headquarters of his social network and SpaceX to Texas, because of a new law on transgender students in California. After supporting Donald Trump on Saturday, Elon Musk thus continues his politicization towards the conservative ideas of the Republican party.
