    Vendetta: Trump revokes IT security company's security clearances The IT security company SentinelOne has hired the former head of CISA. Trump has now withdrawn the company's security clearances.

    US President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of the renowned IT security company SentinelOne. His arbitrary style of government is now also affecting the IT security industry. SentinelOne had hired Chris Krebs, then head of the US IT security agency CISA, who was appointed by Trump during his first term in office. As Reuters reports, the US president resents Krebs for not supporting Trump's false claims of alleged voter fraud in the 2020 US elections during his time in office. As Krebs did not support the myth of the "election stolen by Joe Biden", Trump fired him on Twitter in 2020. "Suppression of conservative views"

    According to Reuters, a White House memo discussing the matter states that Trump accused the Republican Krebs of "suppressing conservative views". The memo does not provide any evidence – or any indication of what SentinelOne had to do with the matter. Reuters goes on to say that Krebs' refusal to support Trump's false claims about the election made him a hero in Washington IT circles. Now, however, support for Krebs or SentinelOne from the IT security industry is not apparent in light of Trump's actions. The founder of Luta Security, Katie Moussouris, said she doubted the industry would publicly support SentinelOne in light of the White House's actions. "I don't think it's feasible for cybersecurity companies to have a broader public response to this," she said, "the risk is just too great." Reuters asked a total of 33 of the largest US IT security companies about the Trump action against SentinelOne – Only one responded, the rest declined to respond or did not respond at all. These include really big IT companies such as Microsoft, where Krebs worked from 2014 to 2017, and Crowdstrike. The only group that responded was the Washington-based Cyber Threat Alliance. Its chairman, Michael Daniel, said: "Targeting a company because the president doesn't like someone at that company is an example of the very misuse of the federal government as a weapon that the memo purports to combat." SentinelOne said it did not expect the restrictions to materially affect its business. However, its share price fell 7 percent on Thursday. An IT security executive, who wished to remain anonymous, said Trump had silenced the IT security industry. "If they're willing to crush Krebs, what do you think they're going to do to me or others like me?" Krebs himself did not issue a statement, but posted his statement again on social media after the 2020 resignation: "We are honored to serve. We did it right. Defending today, securing tomorrow."

    The current US president is keeping the world on tenterhooks with his arbitrary, sometimes autocratic government actions. For example, only a few hours after the tariffs on various countries came into force, they were suspended again, initially leading to heavy stock market losses, a brief recovery and ultimately to an unstable situation.

  • Blackstone (BX) has agreed to buy an industrial portfolio in Texas for $718 million, the firm announced Thursday. Blackstone is set to acquire a 95 percent stake in Crow Holdings’ industrial portfolio, while Crow and its partners will retain 5 percent ownership, the announcement said. SEE ALSO: Nuveen Sells NoVA Office for 76% Less Than What It Paid in 2006 The portfolio comprises 25 buildings spanning a total of 6 million square feet, according to the announcement. The industrial buildings are predominantly around Dallas and Houston. “This transaction is another example of Blackstone Real Estate deploying capital during this period of market volatility,” David Levine, co-head of Americas acquisitions for Blackstone Real Estate, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to acquire this high-quality portfolio located in some of the best-performing U.S. industrial markets,” Levine added. “With limited vacancy and new construction starts down over 80 percent from the 2022 peak, logistics remains a high-conviction theme for us.” Blackstone currently owns more than $90 billion worth of warehouses in North America and nearly $170 billion in total industrial properties around the world, Levine said. The transaction with Crow is expected to close before the end of June, according to the announcement. “We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Blackstone in this investment portfolio,” Crow Holdings CEO Michael Levy said in a statement. “We are extremely proud of our team for developing such a high-quality portfolio that attracted Blackstone, a global leader in the logistics industry, and we look forward to the partnership’s possibilities.” Blackstone has been quite active recently in industrial deals — in both buying and selling. In January, Blackstone sold a portfolio of 21 industrial buildings spread across Nevada, Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania to Goldman Sachs and Texas-based investment firm Dalfen Industrial for $293 million, as Commercial Observer previously reported. And in November, Blackstone offloaded a 1.4 million-square-foot industrial portfolio in South Florida to Longpoint Partners for $331.3 million, CO reported.

    Elon Musk rage quit a livestream of the video game Path of Exile 2 on Saturday night after repeatedly dying while also being ruthlessly cyberbullied in the chat.

    Path of Exile 2 is one of Musk’s favorite games—so much so that he once claimed to be one of the world’s top players in an attempt to boost his gamer cred, before later backtracking and admitting that he had been secretly paying people to level up his account to make him appear more talented at it than he was.

    Nevertheless, while attempting to show off Starlink’s in-flight WiFi capabilities while onboard his private jet over the weekend, Musk streamed himself playing some PoE2 on the hardest difficulty, which was broadcast live on X.

    The DOGE chief was, predictably, terrible at the game, but that was the least of his problems—Less than five minutes into the stream, a player logged on and asked Musk if he could “please jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack.” It only got worse from there.

    For the next hour and a half, Musk sat in stony-faced silence and blasted techno music while dozens of users with names such as ELON_IS_A_PEEDOPHILE and ELON_MUSK_IS_PATHETIC repeatedly spammed the chat to tell him “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE” and “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.”

    Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” said an account pretending to be the conservative influencer currently locked in a custody battle with Musk over their five-month-old child, while another said his estranged daughter Vivian “was right” about him being terrible at video games.

    Some streamers attempted to help Musk out by trying to show him how to mute the chat function, while others encouraged people to “Buy TSLA” and thanked him for his work with Starlink and DOGE, but they were drowned out by a cavalcade of abuse from gamers relished the opportunity to give the billionaire a piece of their mind.

WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?”

    But aside from muting a couple of the loudest trolls after almost an hour of sustained abuse, Musk did little to stop the army of trolls from relentlessly mocking him.

    Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.
