Fans demand Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami contract ‘terminated ASAP’ after spotting what he did during loss to Vissel Kobe
FANS are labelled Lionel Messi ‘disgusting’ and called for his contract to be terminated for laughing after his team-mate missed a penalty.
Inter Miami took on Vissel Kobe in a friendly at the Japan National Stadium.
The clash saw Messi line up alongside Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez but the former Barcelona trio could not find a breakthrough in the 0-0 draw.
A penalty shoot-out followed to decide the winner and Vissel Kobe blinked first, but then Robert Taylor blazed over the bar from 12 yards.
That bizarrely sparked laughter from Messi and his team-mates Jordi Alba and DeAndre Yedlin.
Fans fumed in response as Vissel Kobe went on to win the shoot-out, with one labelling the superstar a “disgusting leader”.
Another added: “His contract should be terminated ASAP. Ridiculous.”
A third wrote: “Such a disgusting guy man, how can he laugh?”
And another commented: “My captain would NEVER.”
Inter Miami are in the Far East on their pre-season tour and took on a Hong Kong XI last week.

But fans were left outraged and demanded their money back after Messi was left on the bench, with Miami owner David Beckham even booed by the crowd.
Messi, 36, revealed he was injured and expressed his disappointment that he was unable to play.
He said: “Unfortunately in football things can happen in any game, that we may have an injury. It happened to me.
“I couldn’t play in the Hong Kong match, and it was a shame because I always wanted to participate, I wanted to be there and even more so when it came to these matches.
“When we travelled so far and people were so excited to see our matches…I hope we can return and we play another game and I can play as I do whenever I can.
“But the truth is that it is a game that I was not able to participate.”
Harvard Astronomy Professor Thinks He Has New Evidence of Alien Spacecraft
“What we did is compare 55 elements from the periodic table in coal ash to those special spherules that we found,” Loeb said. “And it’s clearly very different.” From the report: He said his work follows the scientific method: collecting materials, analyzing them and following the evidence. “It’s not based on opinions,” Loeb said. “And, of course, if you’re not part of this scientific process and you are jealous of the attention that it gets, then you can raise a lot of criticism.” When asked how he deals with that criticism, he said that, “by now, my skin turned into titanium.” […]
He believes more observatories should be built to expand on research of what’s passing through closer to Earth, since astronomers are often fixated on faraway objects. “The best approach to figure it out is actually to do the scientific work of building observatories that look out and check what these objects are,” Loeb said. “And if they happen to be birds, or airplanes, or Chinese balloons, so be it. We can move on after that. But we need to figure it out, it’s our civil duty as scientists. “The universe is so vast that, rather than keep telling ourselves that there is nothing like us, we should search for it,” he added.

Elon Musk claimed he gave $100 million to OpenAI. Filings show he gave far less.
Elon Musk has made it quite clear over the past few months: He’s no fan of OpenAI, the creator of the popular ChatGPT AI chatbot.
Musk’s critiques of one of the biggest companies in the growing AI space is especially poignant being that Musk himself was a founder in the company. Musk has said on numerous occasions that he put $100 million into OpenAI in its earliest days, back when he agreed with its non-profit, open-source ethos.
OpenAI’s new less-transparent, more for-profit direction has been a major issue for Musk, who has since cut ties with the company.These are legitimate critiques, made even more substantial due to the fact that a former co-founder and investor in the company is making them.
But a new report from TechCrunch calls into question just how much Musk actually gave to OpenAI. And it appears Musk has revised the amount he claims to have provided the AI company as a result.
According to this report by Mark Harris of TechCrunch, tax filings show that OpenAI’s non-profit received no more than $133.2 million since its inception through 2021. Based on all non-Musk investment into OpenAI, Musk could not have given more than around $57 million to the organization.
However, as for publicly recorded donations tied to Musk, that number is even lower. In 2016, through his 501(c)3 non-profit, the Musk Foundation, a $10 million donation was made to a non-profit connected to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, which in turn donated the $10 million to OpenAI.
According to TechCrunch, that is the only “publicly disclosed cash contribution” that backs up Musk’s financial ties to OpenAI. However, TechCrunch believes that Musk provided an additional $5 million in cash in 2017, as part of a larger donation to OpenAI from that same Altman-connected nonprofit.
The report also found non-cash contributions in the form of nearly $250k worth of Tesla vehicles, gifted to OpenAI in 2017. In 2018, Musk provided an additional $14k in vehicle upgrades.
As TechCrunch points out, there are ways for rich donors to give money anonymously, so it’s possible Musk provided more than $15 million cash and some Tesla vehicles. However, based on the amount given by other donors, Musk’s previous $100 million figure can’t be true.
And Musk seems to have come to that conclusion as well. After TechCrunch reached out for comment regarding their findings, Musk revised his claims. In a CNBC interview earlier this week, Musk was asked about how much he donated to OpenAI. He didn’t drop the $100 million number as he previously did.
“I’m not sure the exact number but it’s some number on the order of $50 million,” he said.
In the big picture, tens of millions of dollars may seem inconsequential when we’re talking about billionaires and multi-billion dollar valued companies. Musk has made many valid critiques about OpenAI and this report on how much he actually gave the organization doesn’t really affect his points. But, if one is going to put themselves out there as a uniquely qualified critic of OpenAI, it seems very important that they get these basic facts and figures right.
