GOP senator floats role for Elon Musk that may make people 'lose their ever-lovin' minds'
With House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) increasingly on the ropes, many Republicans are looking for a potential replacement.Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Thursday floated an outside-the-box possibility: X owner Elon Musk."The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress," wrote Paul on X. "Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds)."Paul is correct that the speaker of the House of Representatives does not need to be an elected member, which makes it theoretically possible for Musk to get the job should enough members of Congress choose him.ALSO READ: 'Way off base': Ex-prosecutor stunned by GOP report that 'crosses the line'However, electing Musk as speaker would certainly raise massive questions about conflicts of interest given the fact that his companies, most notably the private space exploration firm SpaceX, have contracts with the federal government."Can the richest man in the world with tens of billions in government contracts serve as both house speaker and shadow president?" wondered The Bulwark's Sam Stein.Musk also has a long history of promoting conspiracy theories and outright anti-Semitism that could potentially cause political headaches for some swing-district Republicans.

How to find Photo Investigation: The Floof Triplets in Infinity Nikki
Companion's Day in Infinity Nikki has added a few new quests, and the Photo Investigation: The Floof Triplets is arguably one of the cutest additions you can find.Like other investigative quests, you'll have to find certain items and take their snaps to complete the mission. In this case, however, you're not clicking any inanimate object. Instead, you will be taking snaps of three cute kittens and deciphering the correct one from three identical triplets. Naturally, it's not as easy as you first think, and here's how you can complete this specific quest.Photo Investigation: The Floof Triplets quest location in Infinity NikkiYou can begin this quest at Florawish, right across the Stylist Guild. You can find the spot near the Whimscotch playing field, where you'll find Fresnay sitting in front of the kiosks (marked in the blue box). Image via DestructoidThis specific quest doesn't have any prerequisite at all, and anyone can complete it. Whether you're someone who has started playing recently or spent the last couple of weeks grinding out the content, this quest is the perfect addition. That said, the Companion's Day quests are going to be a time-limited affair, and they will be available till the end of the event on December 30, 2024. Hence, try to complete this and all the other Comapnion's Day quests as soon as possible.How to complete the Photo Investigation: The Floof Triplets in Infinity NikkiThe main objective is to take a snap of the pup who is called Ace. The other two, Deuce and Trey, can also be found in the same spot, but they aren't part of the quest. The only clue you have about Ace is the fact that he loves to hide. Hence, he's the one sitting near the purple flowers.Once you take a snap of Ace, the quest is complete, and you'll get 100 Thread of Purity and 30 Diamonds as part of the total quest rewards.The post How to find Photo Investigation: The Floof Triplets in Infinity Nikki appeared first on Destructoid.

How to unlock Gas Fruit in Blox Fruits
The Gas Fruit power-up in Blox Fruits might be new and rare, but it comes with incredible potential to help you clear in-game content.Whether you're playing PvE or PvP, Gas Fruit is extremely potent in both. It offers a powerful set of attacks and abilities, which makes it a top-tier choice currently. However, finding it might not be the easiest job in the world, and you'll need to do a fair amount of hard work to get it.How to get the Gas Fruit in Blox FruitsThe Gas Fruit is a legendary fruit, and the overall chances of getting it are low. The main way to find it is from the inventory of the Blox Fruits dealer and buy it from him. However, this item isn't going to be available at all times, and it will rotate periodically. Hence, you're relying entirely on your luck to find it in the first place. If you do manage to find it eventually, you'll need the required amount of Beli to buy it from the trader.To make your life a bit easier, you can also use the Fruit Notifier Game Pass, which will alert you if the Gas Fruit becomes available. However, you'll need to spend Robux to get the Fruit Notifier Game Pass.If these methods don't work out for you, trading with other players might work. Then again, the Blox Fruit is extremely rare in the first place, so expecting it from another player right after the update might not be too fruitful at all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk8EPEzTVCoGas Fruit moveset in Blox FruitsWhile the basic attack is decent, the fun begins when you start getting the Mastery points to unlock different moves.Suffocating Fumes (1 Mastery): It does a lot of high-burst damage and is great for clearing weaker enemies.Bursting Vapor (100 Mastery): Does a lot of AoE damage and helps to clear crows of different enemies.Smog Demons (200 Mastery): Summon gas demons to do your bidding for you, and they also attack airborne enemies.Vapor Condensation (300 Mastery): Yet to be unlocked.Traveling Gas (50 Mastery): Helps to boost your movement and fly across the map. If you move through an enemy, they will take damage.Additionally, the Gas Fruit also offers a powerful transformation ability as well. Activating it will change you to a gas demon with a dangerous blade. In the demon form, all your abilities and their effects will be enhanced as well.Buying this power-up is going to set you back by 3.2 million in-game credits or 2,500 Robux. It's expensive, but the abilities and power-up stats make it worth your resources.The post How to unlock Gas Fruit in Blox Fruits appeared first on Destructoid.
