by

The visits of Influencers With millions of followers to cultural places it has become a controversial trend. A few days ago, Dua Lipa closed the Prado Museum. A few weeks before, Mrbeast accessed to restricted stays only to researchers in some of the Most important Mayan enclaves from Mexico. None of those events has gone unnoticed For the public debatebut in the case of Mrbeast, the issue is about to take him before the courts, as he pointed out The New York Times. Mrbeast discovers the Mayan culture. What was going to be a video of Disclosure on Mayan culture of the youtuber with more followers of the platform, it has signs of becoming In a legal maze With the Mexican government. In it Video in question The popular YouTuber is shown accompanied by its usual collaborators exploring different Mayan archaeological places in Mexico. During the video, visitors access, accompanied by a guideto areas restricted to the public From Chichen Itzá and Calakmul, two of the most protected enclaves in the country. At certain moments of the video, Mrbeast himself is surprised by the visit. The youtuber assured in the video: “I cannot believe that the government allows us to do this.” During your visit to the interior of A camera in a Mayan pyramidthe guide took a Mayan funeral mask out of his ditch that delivered Mrbeast, who responded with eloquent “Why is this not in a museum? Why does a YouTuber hold this?” The controversy: the permits and nature of the recording. In a published statement In his X profileMrbeast, confirmed that the producer had all the necessary permits to record in the archaeological sites and that all measures had been met to protect the archaeological heritage. In addition, in A statement issued by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) it was confirmed that the visit and filming were carried out under supervision and with the corresponding authorizations. The INAH explained that the formal request for the recording was submitted by the Federal Tourism Secretariat and the governments of Yucatán and Campeche, and that Institute personnel accompanied the MRBASTI team throughout the recording to guarantee the protection of the heritage. In addition, INAH clarified that the mask shown in the video is a contemporary replica and not a pre -Hispanic piece. Controversial special effects. Despite the permits, the video generated discomfort between part of Mexican society and experts in historical heritage, especially for scenes in which Mrbeast seems to descend by helicopter on the pyramid of Chichén Itzá or fly a drone inside the temple located on the cusp of the structure. In that sense, INAH replied that these sequences are false and are part of the video edition and assembly, ensuring that such a descent was never made on the monument or a drone was introduced inside the pyramid. In the words of INAH: “It was clearly undergoing an extensive audiovisual postproduction and refers to events that did not occur.” The problem: the Maya do not advertise. Beyond denials and recording permits, the controversy by the video has climbed into intensity until it becomes a demand filed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History that had authorized the recording of the video. The demand has its origin in which, at a time of the video, Mrbeast and his team are shown in a camp tasting a dinner with Mayan food and dishes. At the end of dinner, Mrbeast presented one of his Feastable chocolate bars as “the only dessert approved by the Maya.” This act was interpreted as an undue commercial link between the private brand and the Mexican archaeological heritage. Touch the image to access the original message As published in Your X profile“The permit issued to the company Full Circle Media, representative of MR Beast, did not authorize the publication of false information or the use of the image of the archaeological sites for the advertising of commercial brands for private profit purposes.” The Institute stressed that the permission granted did not contemplate the commercial exploitation of the images or the promotion of private brands in these protected spaces. Argument that the content creator refuted saying: “They knew that we mentioned festable in the video, but out of respect for the sites, he filmed away from any national monument. The scene of the dinner where I made the feastable joke was not close to any Mayan temple.” She has reached the president’s ears. The impact of the Mrbeast video and the Maya has reached the political sphere and President Claudia Sheinbaum has requested an investigation About the facts. “You have to see exactly the content, but it is not that it has entered without the permission of the INAH,” said the president during Your press conference in the morning of the town. On the other hand, the governor of the state of Campeche, Layda Sansores, in which some of Mayan excavations who visited Mrbeast, He showed his full support to the creator of content and thanked his support for the Mayan culture and his contribution to improve living conditions of the population of Campeche. “We deeply move us to know that in Campeche you are not only leaving a mark on the communities that will now have water thanks to you, but you are also helping to promote archaeological exploration,” Sansores wrote.

The Prado Museum closed its doors so that Dua Lipa could create content. That has generated a furious debate

by

Even the most venerable institutions are taking notes of the latest trends in communication, and that is why dean museums (but not necessarily anchored in the past and the analog) undertake promotion and communication strategies that come out of the normal. The latest: Pop influencers and stars visit Museums. Often, with the buildings closed for them alone. Dua Lipa likes Bosco. This happened with Dua Lipa, who, taking advantage of the fact that he was going through Madrid with the Radical Optimism tour, published some of his leisure plans through the city. One of them was look at the one who affirms that it is his favorite picture‘The Garden of Delights’. Of course, he did it with the closed building, in a promotional maneuver that was conveniently redifested by The Prado Museum account. Dua Lipa is not the first or the only one. What can be done. These types of actions are a content very desired by museums, since they give them a lot of visibility between an audience that is not the usual of their social networks. Among the activities that are usually carried out and that are analyzed in studies like this company Evespecialized in innovative museum projects, highlights private visits with the closed museum, advertising campaigns in which celebrities lend their image, special events and, as is the case, mutual creation of content for networks, disputed in struggle for every second of attention. More cases. As we say, the case of Dua Lipa is not the only one. In 2020 the influencer Italian Chiara Ferragni visited the Uffizi gallery of Florence, in a session for the magazine ‘Vogue Hong Kong’ and with a guided tour of the director of the Pinacoteca. The museum knew how to make good use of the influence of the influencer when comparing its physique with the Renaissance muse Simonetta Vespucci. The photos of other celebrities of high turns, Jay Z and Beyoncé are also controversial, when they are photographed by eclipsing works of art Like Nefertiti’s headimage for which they needed a special permit of the Berlin Museum Neues. Museums are modernized. Actions such as these obey a task of modernization of museums, which of course affect their contents in social networks. El Prado, in fact, has been Very praised for its studied mixture of entertainment and dissemination with a relaxed tone. They started with house experts that explained the intrígulis of the Great works and his restorationbut they currently have a very varied content, with all kinds of disseminators expanding the meaning of the works. It is one New form of art criticism. International tendency. It is a modernization of networks that other museums, such as Carnegie Museum of Art wave Tate GalleryThey have also put into practice. Pioneer was the New York Metone of the first artistic institutions with a Tiktok account and that reached a remarkable impact before the pandemic with initiatives such as #Metgalastyle, where they asked users to create their own content inspired by the famous annual gala. The complaints. Of course, sometimes so isolated proposals from your consumer-type as some of these can collide with the usual ones. For example, Dua Lipa’s videos have been Very criticized In networks because they see how he takes photos in the museum, something that is prohibited for normal users. But there is more: there is talk of a Banalization of artif the Influencers And your concern for Figure in the foreground and ahead of the works (as Beyoncé does) is the correct form to disseminate this type of contentand if This type of digital strategies They end up damaging institutions rather than spreading their catalogs. In any case, it is another symptom of the popularization of culture and how after a while, Art molar again. Much of the fault is the trends that dictate Influencers And superstar, but also, let’s not take me out of merit, that the Instagram account of El Museo del Prado is frankly well.

The Ribeira Sacra is becoming a lethal trap for tourist buses: there are too closed curves

by

In April a bus full of retirees was heading to the cannons of Sil, one of the tourist points more striking of the Ribeira Sacra. When trying to turn in one of the curves that gives access to this location, the bus He got stuck. Not only that: its front part was on the edge of the road and exposed dangerously to the slope that led to the river. It is the third incident of this type in the last two months. Curves too closed. Last weekend another bus full of tourists was caught on the Lu P-4103 road, between Ferreira de Pantón and Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil, in the province of Lugo. As they point out In Galicia Newsthat section is already known for its closed curves, which are not a problem for cars, but that are for buses. A misleading road. As they point out In the voice of Galiciathe road that has become a nightmare for buses cheats at the beginning. When Ferreira de Pantón leaves “it seems safe, but its final stretch, the descent to the bridge that crosses the SIL near the Santo Estevo train station, not only narrows, but earns pending and is filled with curves.” It is in the two worst, 180 degrees, in which buses can get stuck. The narrowness and slope join the problem and turn these curves into a true trap for buses. Black Points in La Ribeira Sacra. To that black point are joined by the entries to the Tourism Parador of Santo Estevo, in Nogueira de Ramuín, and to the abandoned monastery of Santa Cristina, in Sil Parada. Access to Playa de A Cova is also complicated. GPS browsers don’t help. In that incident the driver, alerted by a neighbor, was able to maneuver and turn to continue the journey by an alternative route, the N-120. The problem in many cases is that the GPS browsers used by drivers indicate that LU P-4103 is the fastest route, but do not offer notices about those paths that can be an important problem for heavy vehicles. The two possible routes: La Corta (Lu P-4103) is the one that makes us go through closed curves that can become a bus trap. Better the longest route. To go from Ferreira de Pantón to the jetty of Santo Estevo, from where the guided tours of boat to the cannons of the Sil, there are two possible routes. The browsers They show both. The fastest is that of the Lu P-4103 road, 18 km away and that is traveled on average in 28 minutes. The second, adequate for heavy vehicles as buses, is what is made along the N-120 road, with a 28 km route that is completed on average in 36 minutes. In this second case there are no closed curves that threaten buses and other heavy vehicles. And it is not easy for them to be updated. Today we depend on companies such as Google and Apple and their maps to use their browsers, but it is not easy to suggest changes in these maps to prevent such problems. Each of the three major alternatives acts as follows: WAZE: It only allows you to warn of incidents andn real time (Works, cars in the gutter, bumps, objects), but there is no way to suggest that this type of notices are added to the map permanently. Is A very voted request In your suggestion mailbox, but for now there is no update that allows you to do something like that. Google Maps: It allows to contribute With data or content errors, such as Add or correct roads, although this option is “only available in some countries and regions.” Although we can notify on cut roads, it is apparently not possible to mark that road as narrow or with curves too closed for heavy vehicles, for example. Apple Maps: In Apple’s service there is also the option of Notify incidents In real time, and also to inform with a problem And the signage, what? The neighbors themselves expressed in the voice of Galicia their opinion on a problem that has an obvious solution: signaling these roads to warn of these closed curves. As those neighbors indicated, “it is not understood that they have not yet placed warning signs on the roads.” Spokesmen of the Diputación de Lugo indicated in that newspaper that that is effectively the solution, and confirm that they will “reinforce and improve signaling” on that road to “anticipate these situations, protect both users of the road and the environment and guarantee a safer and more orderly circulation.” Image | Saxad Isz In Xataka | Painting color asphalt is the latest trend on half -world roads.

The largest nuclear power plant in Europe has been closed by the war in Ukraine. Now the United States wants to reopen

by

At the beginning of the Ukraine War, the first thing the Russian Army did It was taking control of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe: Zaporiyia. During these three years, the Kremlin has established a military base and has been the objective of attacksso it has remained closed. Recently, the United States has decided to reopen this booty. Your part of the cake. There was no agreement with any of the two parties around To the rare earthsnow the focus is positioned in the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. In a telephone call, Trump suggested to Zelenski that the United States could help to manage, and possibly possess, Ukraine nuclear energy plants, according to a statement by the US presidential administration to which which has had access Reuters. All this to guarantee the energy security of Ukraine. The problem with “property.” From the same medium They have pointed out that the problem came with the word: “property.” The Ukrainian president has revealed that he would have no problem that the US investing money, only in the Zaporiyia nuclear power plant to rebuild it once again recover it. However, reject in a resounding way Give the central because they do not want to lose energy sovereignty in the country. A strategic central. The control of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe has reinforced Moscow’s power over the region, making it an energy pressure tool. According to The Washington PostRussian Foreign Minister has declared that the transfer of the central to any other nation is “impossible”, a position that highlights the strategic importance. A great loss for Ukraine. The largest nuclear plant in Europe is a great booty of war. In fact, for the nation of Zelensky it has meant a very large loss, since before the occupation it represented 20% of the country’s electrical production, such as They have reported in The Washington Post. In addition, the Ukrainian nation is now forced to allocate its limited resources to avoid a nuclear crisis. However, since the Russian occupation it has remained closed. Security problems From the closure of the plant, both parties They have accused mutually bombarding her repeatedly, so they had to close it for the risk of attacks and the growing concern for the integrity of cooling systems. Until today, the nuclear power plant has not produced energy again and has been negatively reflected in the Ukrainian electricity network. Can it be reactivated? The central was operated by Energoatom a Ukrainian public society. Its executive director, Petro Kotin, has warned in an interview for The Guardian on the problems that exist safely restart the Zaporiyia nuclear power plant. The senior executive stressed that there is a lack of trained personnel, the damage to infrastructure and the insufficiency of cooling water, after the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in 2023 reduced access to the water of the Dnieper river. In an assumption that Ukraine recovered control of the central, Kotin explained that the restart process would take a long time between two months and two years, depending on the state of the nuclear plant. Moscow’s position. Russia has made it clear that it has no intention of giving control of the Zaporiyia plant and has plans to reactivate the plant, but it has not yet specified when it would happen. According to The Washington Postthe future of the Zaporiyia plant remains one of the main challenges that will define not only the energy balance of the region, but also the course of the Ukraine War.

He has just closed a key laboratory in Shanghai, according to SCMP

by

Microsoft is one of the American technology with the greatest experience in China. Began operating in the country in 1992 and has since maintained several research centers. However, in recent months it has given replication signs in a context of growing geopolitical tensions. In May last year, It transpired that the company had started efforts to relocate between 700 and 800 employees, in addition to having carried out layoffs and to close their physical stores in the country. Now adds a new step: the closure of one of its most relevant laboratories in Zhangjiang, Shanghai. The label disappears, Microsoft too. According to Asian media as South China Morning E Post and it Homehe IoT & AI Insider Labcreated to boost national development in Internet Technologies of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), closed its doors earlier this year. The offices are empty and the company’s poster has already been removed. The laboratory was in a strategic area of ​​Shanghai, surrounded by key names of the technological sector. In that environment, companies such as Infineon Technologies, German semiconductor manufacturer, Baidu, the Chinese giant of internet searches, and the Commercial Aircraft manufacturer, have a presence. Zhangjiang High Technology Park (Baidu Maps capture) A Center with Global Ambition. The laboratory was inaugurated in May 2019 as a joint initiative between Microsoft China and the Zhangjiang state group. Its objective was to support the development of IA E IOT technologies applied to sectors such as industry, health, finance or retail trade. The IoT & AI Insider Lab in its inauguration in 2019 With an area of ​​2,800 square meters, it became the largest center of this type of Microsoft outside the United States. During his five years of operation, he supported 258 projects of about 100 companies. More than 50 of them captured financing worth 9.4 billion yuan (about 1.3 billion dollars). He also generated 139 technological developments and trained about 10,000 professionals. A replication underway. As we point out above, the closure of this center does not arrive by surprise. In 2023, Microsoft had already begun to offer relocations to employees of the Artificial Intelligence Area, in addition to closing all its physical stores in China and applying personnel cuts. In parallel, the company has hardened its internal security policies. According to BloombergIn 2024 he urged all his employees in China to use exclusively iPhones to access corporate platforms. The measure was related to the lack of access to Google Play in the country, which prevented the use of applications such as Microsoft Authenticator or Identity Pass on Android. In the search for greater security The withdrawal in China coincides with a Internal Security Review in Microsoftafter a wave of criticism for the management of computer attacks. A Russian group, identified as Midnight Blizzard, accessed corporate accounts and stole sensitive emails sent between federal agencies and the company.

Elon Musk shared a message that apologized to Stalin, Hitler and Mao. Then closed an office that nobody had heard

by

Elon Musk’s role in Donald Trump’s administration, at least the public nature, is to face To the cuts and expenses within the US government. In the last 48 hours there have been two circumstances that reflect The climate of a certain chaos that is breathed at the passage of the richest man on the planet. It all started when he shared a controversial message in X. Excuse Hitler. Last Friday morning, Musk shared in X a publication that claimed that Stalin, Hitler and Mao They were not directly responsible Of the millions of deaths that occurred under their regimes, but the guilt fell to public sector workers. Obviously, the post was received with an immediate reaction and generalized criticisms, being seen as a trivialization of genocides and an anti -Semitic narrative. Given the growing pressure, Musk eliminated the publication, but the damage already seemed done: historians, human rights organizations and thousands of users They condemned him for giving visibility to historical distortion. Political ties and affinity. The truth is that it was not the first time that Musk faced accusations for sharing or supporting controversial content on his network. Also, for example, supported an anti -Semitic postwhich led to a massive leakage of advertisers of the platform. In another case he generated controversy by suggesting that it was “strange” that no one would have tried Killer the former president Biden Oa Kamala Harris, shortly after the trump murder attempt in the elections. In addition, Musk has openly shown sympathy for Right and extreme right leaders worldwide. He has praised and backed figures such as Javier Milei (Argentina), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil) and Narendra Modi (India), all leaders in countries where he has commercial interests. Recently, he even offered A platform to the ultra -rightist Alternative for Germany (AFD), organizing A Town Hall Online With your chancellor candidate. Unions and organizations in arms. No doubt, the apology message was perceived as an attack on public sector workers in the United States aligning with Musk’s rhetoric against the federal government. In recent months, he has accused public employees of hiding fraud and waste resources, encouraging that give up their positions. The Public Employee Union (AFSCME) strongly rejected the publicationarguing that public servants such as nurses, firefighters, teachers and librarians cannot be compared to genocides. In turn, the Anti -Diffamation League (ADL) described Musk’s action as “Disturbing and irresponsible”since it contributes to minimizing historical crimes and encouraging dangerous narratives. Musk defended himself alleging that his critics were the true allies of Nazism and suggested that there was a conspiracy against him. A strange dismissal. Shortly after, it was made public The last “cut” that has taken the firm of Musk. It all started last February 3When Musk published in X a message stating that 18F, an unknown office of the US government dedicated to technological services, it had “eliminated.” His tweet was an answer to A publication by Alex Lorussoa right -wing activist and producer of conservative influencer Benny Johnson, who falsely said that 18F was a group of extreme left in charge of making bureaucrats prepare the tax statements of citizens. What seemed like a harmless comment on social networks unleashed confusion and alarm within 18F, as we said, an unknown agency that works on technological projects to improve government efficiency and, paradoxically, to reduce costs. The employees did not know if the office had really been dissolved, what would happen to their ongoing projects and/or how to respond to other agencies that depended on their work. The definitive closure. As The Guardian told This weekend, already in March, weeks after Musk’s controversial tweet, 18F employees received an email at 1:00 am notifying them that they would be fired and that the office would close. The order came from the high levels of government and the administration of general services (GSA), the agency that supervised 18F. The official motive given by the government was that employee’s time costs They were too high and that hiring external consultants would be cheaper. However, 18F ex -women and GSA current employees pointed out that this explanation was false, since the office saved money by avoiding unnecessary contracts with private companies. Obvious, many suspect that the closure was A political decision promoted by Musk and its anti -government ideology. Disinformation. As in the case of the publication of the Defense to dictators18F is Another example of what seems like a recurring pattern in the way Musk handles X. Since he acquired the platform, he has used his influence to amplify messages from the radical right and attack government institutions. His tweet on 18F was an example of how misinformation in social networks can translate into real and harmful actions within the government. Lorusso, activist whose tweet Musk amplified, was A nearby collaborator of his political campaign and has worked as Consultant paid for your Super Pac. His post over 18F was denied by X itself, which clarified that the agency did not prepare taxes, but had developed a free platform in the shadow for citizens to They will present their statements without paying third parties. Hence, the disappearance of 18F seems to fit with the objective of Musk to dismantle state structures in favor of private solutions, even when the data shows that the agency saved money to taxpayersas he pointed out The Guardian. In addition, the danger of misinformation in media figures networks, where one day the story is modified by spreading dangerous narratives, and others end up closing offices with all their workers.

After years with its closed borders, North Korea has opened to foreign tourism. The price: more than $ 600

by

Very shy, limited and with restrictions, but North Korea begins to open to foreign tourism five years after have sealed its borders to protect yourself from the propagation of COVID-19. The hermetic nation led by Kim Jong-un is about to be somewhat less hermetic, both for travelers from China and Western. Of course, at least for the moment and despite the fact that the country is building His own ‘Benidorm’ In Wonsan, the tours will focus on a specific (and controlled) area: Rason. No visits to Pyongyang. Border closure. Five years ago, even in the initial bars of the Covid-19 Pandemia, North Korea took A radical decision: At the end of January 2020, the view of how the virus spread for the Chinese neighbor, the authorities decided to close foreign tourists. The measure made sense if one takes into account that in 2019, tens of thousands of travelers arrived from the Asian giant had visited North Korea. Some sources speak of 350,000. Others point out that the country received in total 300,000 tourists foreigners, of which 90% were Chinese. One (long) temporary measure. The idea was that the borders remained “temporarily” as “preventive measure against coronavirus.” Or so He announced it In January 2022 Young Pioneer Tours, an agency that was dedicated to organizing trips to the country of Kimg Jong-un. What was not clarified was what exactly “temporary” meant, an uncertain horizon that extended one, two, three … until five yearswhich is what has ended up lasting the closure. The government already made A first gesture In 2024, allowing Russian tourist delegations, which were already pointed out as The first foreign travelers who accessed the country from the pandemic; But now North Korean authorities have decided to go one step further. Coinciding almost with the fifth anniversary of the closing of the borders, the country has allowed The passage of several travel companies and a very small group of visitors. What exactly? The Straits Times Explain that at the beginning of February the North Korean authorities allowed the country of a select group of travel operators. Select and Very small. Experience served to tote the land for the really important date: tourism reopening February 20although the latter has also been done in a limited way. Among the operators who stepped on North Korean soil after years of border closure was the Australian Rowan Beard, of the Pioneer Tours agency, based in Beijing. His business was expected to take A dozen tourists To the country, a figure similar to the one that was handled by another of the selected operators, Koryo Tours, who when Corea’s apartment already had a group of 15 people eager to walk around the country. And who have visited it? After the first trip of recognition and “familiarization”, that of Beard, foreign tourists have arrived, including people from Singapore, Australia, Germany or Romania, according to Precise The country. Other media They holdthat among visitors there are also citizens of the United Kingdom and Jamaica. The CNN even assures That among the “pioneers” is an American, Justin Martell, who would have mocked the prohibition of his country after becoming a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis, a Caribbean nation. Looking at China. After A first approach To Russia, the nation of Kim Jong-un already looks at its great tourism market: China. Kyodo News agency I advanced A few days ago the country prepares to resume tourist trips of the Asian giant, which until the closing of borders moved a flow of tens of thousands of travelers a year. The perspective of knowing North Korea may be more or less appealing from countries such as Spain, where the government even advised The visitbut it has its market. Packages for $ 670. Beard remember that when his agency announced the trips the company’s email “saturated” consultations. And that the experience requires scratching the pocket: Young Pioneer Tours, one of the few authorized, offers a five -day and four night package for $ 670. Another option is to pay $ 720 With several nights in Yanji, China. “For many people it is a very mysterious country,” Beard comments: “Technically there is no Internet or is limited. So life there works in a similar way to what we had in the 1980s.” Those who have already been in the country after reopening ensure that the rules when taking photos have relaxed, which does not mean that visitors can film what they want. “They only scold me once,” Recognize the CNN Gerg Vaczi, by Korko Tours, “and was to film a guide.” Opening, but with quotes. North Korea’s policy change has been important, but also limited. That he has decided to allow the passage of tourists again does not mean that they will move freely through the country or move to the capital, Pyongyang, supposedly closed For any tourist who Do not come from Russia. Visitors must settle at least for the moment with Rasona special economic zone established in the early 90s and presents certain important peculiarities. A special destination. To begin its location, it is strategic, northwest of the country, near the borders of China and Russia. It also does not have an international airport, with what the only way to arrive is to cross the limit with China under the control of the Border guards. The area also has peculiar administrative conditions and has been raised, Precise ABC News, as a kind of evidence field to test new economic policies. The idea It is that tourists who can reach drops visit spaces such as a factory, an aquaculture farm, Schoolsor have the experience of open an account Banking in the Golden Triangle Bank. Rason is also in a border and coastal area. Beard Recognize In any case that the area presents certain “logistics limitations”, such as the number of hotel places, guides and buses. And why now? The other big question. It is estimated that before the pandemic the country received hundreds of thousands of Chinese tourists generated … Read more

It turns out that in Spain there was a company dedicated to spy software and has closed after declaring in bankruptcy

by

In Spain we can boast many things, but having known companies globally for the development of spy softwareNo. Although Barcelona is becoming An unexpected Startup Hub related to this sectorthe reality is that we do not have a great NSO GroupFor example. The closest thing was an unknown company called Mollitiam Industries. We talked in the past because it has broken. Where does Mollitiam Industries come from. According to The recordsthe company was founded in 2018 and its headquarters was in Toledo. As pray Your websiteactive at the time of writing these lines, was specialized in “offering a deep tracking capacity in highly specialized and complementary areas”, such as the “interception and surveillance of communications”, for “through invisible capabilities of capture, management and security active data in the context of cyberspace and encrypted telecommunications “, allow” those responsible for decision making identify, anticipate, degrade or neutralize possible attacks of connected objectives. “ In other words, he was specialized in cyberinteligence and espionage software.

This is reflected in public records and has transcended the media through the specialized magazine Online intelligence (via Techcrunch). The reasons are unknown, but the magazine argues that it has been due to economic problems. Techcrunch also feeds that it may be due to lack of international attention as it is a Spanish company since it has not been involved in too many controversial cases. From Xataka we have tried to contact the company through its networks (the web form gives error) and a phone that appears on its Google Maps card, but we have not received an answer in any of the cases.

Then we explain that the project was barely three years old when Lei Jun, CEO of the company, The Xiaomi Su7 definitely showed ushe First electric car of the company. That December 28, 2023 we could not imagine that in just one year we would have seen Xiaomi dispatch tens of thousands of units (almost 90,000 reservations in just 24 hours)get A record in nürburgring And, directly, present a Second SUV body. A meteoric advance that has ended up finding last December. In the last month of the year, Xiaomi has ended up taking an important bite in the sales of the electric car in China. It is an advance of what will come in 2025. A small victory that plays Tesla placed Specifically, it has been in December and in the electricity sedan market where Xiaomi has managed to overcome Tesla Model 3 as one of the best -selling cars. Collect in CNEVPOST That the Xiaomi Su7 delivered 25,815 units last December 2024, compared to 21,046 units delivered to Tesla Model 3 by Elon Musk’s company. The result is especially relevant since Tesla’s electricity directly competed with vehicles that cost a very small part of its price. The Xiaomi Su7 was launched with a price of 215,900 Chinese yuan (about 28,500 euros) slightly below the 235,500 Chinese yuan (about 31,100 euros) of Tesla Model 3. But, above all, especially far from the rivals it has for on. The Xiaomi Su7 was the fourth best -selling electric sedan in the country.

The month of December is always a month where the company of Elon Musk delivers more vehicles (it usually does so in the last months of each quarter) but this year it seems that it stepped on the accelerator to try to avoid what finally happened: Sell ​​less cars than the previous year for the first time in its history. In this final push, Tesla got record figures in China, Delivering 657,000 units in 2024. Only in December managed to place in the Market more than 83,000 vehicles.

Lei Jun not only confirmed that Xiaomi had put on the market More than 135,000 vehicles In 2024. In addition, he ventured that in 2025 they will get Sell ​​300,000 cars. That would leave Xiaomi in a 45% production of what Tesla sold in China last year. That is, it is still far but in two years they hope to place almost halfway from the company of Elon Musk. To understand how this impulse is possible, it is expected that half of the year Xiaomi will throw its first electric SUV. He Xiaomi Yu7 It will fight directly with the Tesla Model and, just when Chinese buyers seem to be turning their backs on foreign manufacturers in favor of the premises. We will have to wait to know to what extent The soda in the image of the Tesla car It is enough to remain one of the best -selling cars.
