Elon Musk wants Elon Musk’s companies to finance Elon Musk’s AI with Elon Musk’s money

by

Elon Musk is clear that his most immediate future passes, yes or yes, due to artificial intelligence. The eccentric magnate launched two years ago Xai After resorting, among others, the resources of Tesla and Spacex to raise funds. Much has rained since then. Elon Musk already has an AI model in the market, Grokand wants to continue growing to stand up to OpenAi, Google and company. For that he needs resources, and something else, but if something has the richest man in the world they are plenty of resources. So he has put the machinery in motion. -He Elon, can you give me money? – Of course, Elon. – Thank you, Elon. The billionaire has us accustomed to mobilizing Spacex resources to finance their movements. For example, Spacex gave him a loan of 20 million dollars to finance Tesla in its first measures. Also He used Spacex resources to finance The Boring Company And even asked $ 1,000 million to face the purchase of Twitter. Why use Spacex resources? Because it is his company, he founded it with 100 million dollars from his own pocket and is not a public company, Ergo is not participated and does not have to ask the investors permission. With Tesla, a company that is also CEO, the situation is different. Tesla is a public company and has a shareholders’ board that must approve the mobilization of resources. It is true that It is a Board of Shareholders faithful to Muskbut it is a process that cannot be skipped. However, in 2016 he used his Tesla actions to Buy Solar City Company of renewables of which Musk was maximum shareholder and Lyndon Rive, his cousin, the CEO. Inverters did not like it too muchby the way. More money. Knowing that, it will surprise us less than Spacex has approved Invest 2 billion dollars in XAI, the artificial intelligence company that Elon Musk is (surprise) founder and CEO. This investment is part of a capital collection of 5,000 million Announced by Morgan Stanley Last month. It is also the largest investment that Spacex has made in another company and the first in XAI (of which you have record, of course). Grok now has an anime avatar. This, specifically | Image: Xataka Android In the background. The reality is that these movements have the objectives to increase the capabilities and assessment of XAI, as well as allow their operations to be maintained. The latter will see that it is still complex. With regard to “artificially” the valuation of XAI, the most striking movement was undoubtedly The purchase of X by XAI. That increased the valuation of X to 33,000 million dollars and that of XAI to 80,000 million dollars, according to Musk. It is no accident that Grok is integrated into X, which recently to the Starlink customer service support and that Musk wants to use it as the basis for optimus robots. Everything revolves around Xai into the spearhead of his empire. But need more. Elon Musk wants to compete against Google, Openai and Anthropic. Your latest model, Grok 4has received excellent scores in the benchmarks, although its impact has not been the same as that of Chatgpt or Gemini. Beyond that, XAI has a small big problem: AI is expensive and spends money in abundance. XAI has spent billions of dollars in data centers (Some with 200,000 gpus nvidia hopper) And he intends to create a superordinate, Colossuswith a million GPUS Blackwell. The problem, of course, is to get between 50,000 and 62.5 billion dollars that would cost this transactionespecially after recent controversies with Grok. Not to mention that maintaining and developing Grok costs Xai about 1,000 million dollars per month. For us to get an idea, it is estimated that XAI will spend $ 13,000 million in 2025, but will only generate 500 million dollars in revenues.

In Seville they are cloning voices with AI to beg for money for Bizum

by

AI has been able to clone almost perfect voices. What we did not expect is that these types of tools began to be used to cheat a Sevillian brotherhood. The event. The Archbishopric of Seville He has given the alarm to his brotherhoods. The reason: An scam attempt at the Andalusian level in which cloned voices are starting to try to impersonate the bishops. One of the brotherhoods of the capital recently received a call imitating the voice of Monsignor Teodoro Muñoz, one of the auxiliary bishops. The request. In Xataka we have been able to talk to the brotherhood, and confirm that the request was the most rocambolesco. He called the brotherhood posing as the bishop. A certain amount of money was requested through Bizum. The petition was justified to pay a succession tax necessary for the Brotherhood to collect an inheritance The voice. As the brotherhood explains, the voice was “a practically perfect clone.” In addition, it was not a voice recording, the interlocutor was talking to the auxiliary bishop until he hung after his refusal to access the required payment. It is not an isolated case. In February 2024, Jaén today echoed of an identical event. A fortnight of convents of the province received at the beginning of the year called in which he claimed to be the bishop, also requiring an economic amount in this case to help the bishopric. The new Timo del CEO. Hyperrealist scams are not new. In fact, We have spent more than four years talking about them. The Zendal Pharmaceutical Group was the victim of a scam worth 9 million euros in 2020. In this case there was not even an implementation of AI: someone passed through the head of the company by email requesting high -value transfers. With the rise of artificial intelligence tools, Scams with cloned voices are increasingly frequent. These tools allow not only to create recordings with the simulated voice, but to imitate it in real time, making the even more realistic call. Suspect, always suspect. Differentiate what is AI and what is not increasingly complicatedso the biggest protective factor will always be suspicion. If money is requested. If personal data is requested. If it does not fit the least. Hanging.

“I don’t want money. They fly without suitcases”

by

Ryanair entered more than 13,400 million euros in 2024. Of them, 4,299 million euros had nothing to do with the explicit transport of passengers. That is, money that came from the “extras” that the company already offers those that must be folded if, for example, we want to fly with a cabin suitcase. Michael O’Leary, his CEO, says what happens of them (and their money). “I don’t want it”. “I don’t want any suitcase money. I prefer passengers to fly without suitcases.” O’Leary’s words have resonated in Dublin (Ireland), during a meeting with journalists, as he has collected eldiario.es. In the talk he was asked about the Internal conflicts in Europe and those who are facing the airline on the occasion of the hand or cabin suitcase. That for which Ryanair charges an extra, for which sanctions those who have not billed her And they exceed its limits and, above all, that same that Ryanair wants to eliminate. The costs. During his talk, O’Leary has insisted that suitcases cost him too much money because “we have people used to put our bags on the plane, the plane weighs more and consume more fuel.” Before taking into account the fuel, Ryanair figure the cost of a passenger at 34 euros, according to an internal slide projected in Milan and exposed by The Flight Club. That cost is more compensated with each invoiced suitcase … or not invoiced, although its CEO ensures that it would prefer that passengers forget it. To keep it in mind, bill a suitcase of up to 10 kg (allowed in free cabin by other companies) costs Ryanair between 23.99 and 44.99 euros. But if the passenger has not chosen this option in his ticket and exceeds the measures agreed by the company, the cost of sending the luggage to the winery will be 46 euros in the best case. In fact, it could reach 60 euros, as they reflect On your own website. A business. As my partner Javier Lacort explained In this exhaustive analysis From the company, Ryanair does not make money with the flight in itself. Your business is in everything that orbits around the plane ticket, from the billing of the suitcase to the soda that is taken on board, through the choice of seat or commissions to hire on its website services such as hotels or rental cars. And to this we must add that the company punishes very hard to whom the rules skip. Not only on the occasion of hand luggage, too If the customer behaves badly Or, simply, he has not made the billing for himself at home. Very soon wants to charge us If we do not wear our ticket on the mobile phone. An open battle. O’Leary’s statements come just when the debate on the hand suitcase is more open than ever. A few days ago, The Council of Europe took a step forward to impose minimal measures in the hand luggage allowed by airlines. The problem is extremely concise and coincide with the proposal of the airlines Low Cost. The road seemed marked but The European Parliament has taken the opposite sense and his proposal becomes significantly increasing the agreed measures in the other European institution. To move forward a regulation in which the minimum measures allowed are explained, it is necessary for both parties to reach a final agreement. Some changes. At the same time, Ryanair has made a very slight concession. Since this summer, they will allow handbill with a maximum size of 40 x 30 x 20 cm, after the Airlines For Europe (A4E) association, which Ryanair is a member, will sign an agreement so that the minimum of the suitcases admitted as hand luggage is 40 × 30 × 15 cm. Until now, Ryanair allowed access with packages of up to 40 x 25 x 20 cm. With the agreement, it will maintain the depth and height but let the suitcases be five wider cenimeters. This, according to BBCIt will allow expanding the capacity of the backpack in four liters, moving from the current 20 liters to a maximum of 24 liters. Yes, but. This change is not accidental. Those 40 × 30 × 15 cm to which the members of Airlines For Europe (A4E) are committed to the European Parliament Proposalthat he wants the suitcase for free but the proposed measures are, as we have seen, almost traced to which Ryanair already applied, so it is understood as a sample of good will to the changes. He Europe Council bet Retail for hand luggage although the proposed measures to travel with him in the cabin are exactly the same. That is, what Ryanair is doing is simply adapting to what seems to be the new standard. Thus demonstrates good will and facilitates understanding. Meanwhile… Meanwhile, at least in Spain, we live in a limbo. Because Justice is not fully clear whether or not we can travel with a suitcase superior to the measures that Ryanair demands. In current regulations there is talk of a lump that allows “essential” luggage but exact measures are not mentioned. That has made some judgments in our country They have proved the airline And others, however, have opted for Strengthen user thesis. The government is clear about its position: what Ryanair is doing is illegal And that’s why he fined it.

It will be normal for companies to win more money with fewer people

by

Microsoft is at your best economic moment. At the same time, he is saying goodbye to Much of its template in different departments and key divisions such as Xbox and some of their European studies. The paradox of the company led by Satya Nadella is clear: it is completely normal for companies to win more money with fewer people. The layoffs.

Microsoft is leading the company model towards which the technology industry is directed: more income, more efficiency and less workers. The context. Since 2022, layoffs are becoming usual. They do not arrive in a context of recession, they arrive in the midst of an increase in the valuations of technological actions.

A figure still distant from The 400,000 that were recorded in 2023but symptom of a trend that will not be reversed. Mainly for three reasons. Because. In the years immediately after pandemic, technological ones launched themselves to an aggressive hiring strategy. Thousands and thousands of job offers in a context after which Andy Jassy himself, CEO of Amazon, admitted that had hired too much people. Superstar.

Netflix has left the fever by the Korean series: they are drowning in their own money

by

Although they have not yet arrived in the mainstream As they have done, for example, The Turkish soapsKorean fictions are followed by millions of people worldwide and have transcended the borders of Asian countries. Netflix is ​​to blameand has led to South Korea to be known for much more diverse and varied productions than the one that remains its greatest success, ‘the squid game’. However, Netflix machinery He also has his dark side and has been about to crack the solid bases of the genre. Korean explosion. In recent years, Korean or K-Drams fictions have experienced unprecedented growth. Netflix has been a key actor in this phenomenon, positioning the South Korean content as The second most watched globallyonly behind American productions. Since 2023, K-Drams are between 8% and 9% of the total visualization hours in Netflix, highlighting titles such as ‘The Squid’s game’, but also ‘The Queen of Tears’, ‘Crash Landing on You’ or ‘Love at the door next door.’ Cloud expenses. Netflix investment in Korean products It is very important: More than half of the popular Korean titles on the platform are originals of Netflix herself, and about a third are exclusive, many of them made in collaboration with local studies. However, The costs have shot: At present, the average price per episode is about $ 700,000, arriving in some cases, such as ‘the squid game’, to exceed two million dollars per episode, more than double what they cost in 2020, and much more than they cost before the arrival of Netflix (about 200,000 dollars). Success series such as ‘If life gives you mandarins’ cost more than 40 million dollars per season. In Xataka Netflix’s best Korean series (because not everything is ‘the squid game’) Fall in production. The consequences that Netflix, a powerful platform and with financial muscle, has multiplied costs to generate luxurious and interesting productions for the international public are multiple. On the one hand, production has fallen, especially the one that comes from medium -sized companies and produced by traditional Korean channels: From 141 in 2022 to 123 in 2023 already just 100 in 2024. A pressure has also been generated so that the series are more expensive, which has multiplied the number of blockbustersbut it has reduced the average productions. The superstars. The architects of the Korean series know that the deals are often the authentic causing causes a series to succeed, which leads to a good part of the budgets to be invested in the protagonists, which can come to charge around 500,000 dollars per episode. One of the decisions that Netflix has taken to stop is climbing in the series budgets that can make the industry crackimitate the salaries of the actorswhich has set 400 million WON (just under $ 300,000) per episode. {“Videid”: “x850eq5”, “Autoplay”: false, “Title”: “The game of the squid”, “Tag”: “The game of the squid”, “Duration”: “476”} Goodbye to risk. The Korean fiction industry is at a key moment, where it is continually discussed between profitability and quality. The increase in budgets has raised expectations on the series, but has also increased financial risk, to the point that, unlike the situation before the arrival of Netflix, The series need to be global successes To recover the investment. This entails an added danger: to greater financial risk, less taste for risk, more will tend to be conservative, to embrace proven success formulas. What can make the Korean series lose one of their indisputable strengths for the global public: the ability to surprise. Has Netflix charged the Korean fiction industry? Of course, it has immersed it in a dynamic of inflated budgets and the need for show that at the moment, it is affecting medium, authentic mortar productions that give solidity to the industry with volume and stability. Korea has a clear benchmark to not look for mistakes: Hollywood, plunged into a creative crisis and an elephantiasis in the productions that question its near future. For now, the South Korean industry has a margin to react. If Netflix allows it.

There are already French asking for back the money they paid for their teslas. And the reason has a name and surname

“Some customers no longer dare or do not want to use their vehicle.” With this phrase summarizes Patrick Klugman, lawyer for a future demand against Tesla in France, the feeling of his represented. A group of Tesla owners accuse the company that its public image has directly affected its vehicles and, of course, themselves. This is what they argue. Enjoy. That is, exactly, what the 10 Tesla owners who plan to denounce the company for the possible damage caused by the damage to the public image … of the company itself can not do with their vehicles. They ensure that Elon Musk’s political approach to the extreme right prevents them from circulating with tranquility, as explained to Le Parisien. Among the future plaintiffs are stories of all kinds. There is the one who says that one day he reached his car and found that he had been vandalized with the graffiti of a swastika. In other cases, they point to moral damage because they are owners who feel “betrayed”, in the words of lawyer Patrick Klugman, who is behind the defense of these consumers. “A Responsible Eco -Ciudadean approach”. Thus, they ensure this dozen owners, who received the company when they were made with one of their vehicles. “It was a 100% electric brand (…) buyers were willing to pay more money for their car to participate in the ecological transition … This vehicle (Tesla) became a sample of commitment,” explains the lawyer. They claim that with Elon Musk’s approach to the extreme right and the brand’s image degradation they cannot have a “peaceful possession” of the vehicle. A detail that is key to the demand that they want to present that, they point out in the middle, it cannot be defined as “collective” for the moment. Despite this, the lawyer encourages every owner who wants to add to the cause to accompany them. What are they based on? As we said, that “peaceful possession” is key. This is collected in the Article 1625 of the Civil Code In France. It specifies: “The guarantee that the seller owes to the buyer has two objects: the first is the peaceful possession of the thing sold; the second, the hidden defects of this thing or the prohibitive vices” To this “peaceful possession” is to which the owners of the Tesla grab ensuring that given the attacks against the vehicles that extended a few months ago and the reputational loss of the company, they do not dare to take the car out to the street or, to do so, they cannot enjoy it with the same conditions that were sold. What do they claim? The ultimate intention of these owners is simply that they return the purchase money or that the loan they maintain with the company is canceled if they are paying the car in installments. Bad image. What is clear is that Elon Musk’s passage through the United States government has seriously damaged the public image of the company. From the protests before your company’s concessionaires to direct attacks against their vehicles. But, above all, the company has seen how its sales have sunk into what we have been for the year. The problem is especially serious in Europe. In its two main markets (Germany and France) their sales are on the floor. Right where issues related to extreme right and the Nazism are more sensitive among public opinion. To this is added the increase in the second -hand market of Tesla cars. Beyond that some influencers have shown publicly How they got rid of their carsIn France the volume of ads selling second -hand Tesla cars shot in the first months of 2025, to the point that increased 30% Regarding the ads published in the first half of 2024.

Someone has calculated which EU countries lose more money due to the falsification of wines and spirits. Bad news, Spain

by

Spain is Wine landsparkling, beers, ciderliquors … and falsifications. This is revealed at least The last balance of the EU Intellectual Property Office (Euipo), which has launched a notice to navigators: fraudulent copies are hitting the alcohol industry, subtracting billions of euros in sales, destroying thousands of jobs and depriving public coffers of large income via taxes. And the one who is spending it worse is Spain. Here the wineries and companies that lose more money are located. The bottle, the most affected. When we talk about falsifications, the mind usually goes to luxury articlesgarments, wallets and bags of large brands, watches or exclusive jewels. The shadow of pirate copies is however elongated and extends to many other merchandise, including food. Moreover, the Euipo assures that in 2020 the falsifications of food were among the most common found at the EU borders. And by “food” not only refers to Iberian sausages. In the list there are also cookies, pasta, potatoes or sweets. If there is a sector that is suffering alarmingly the mazazo of the copies is nevertheless that of wine and spirits. “It was one of the most affected during the 2013-2017 period”, Clarifies the organism Before sliding a couple of figures. “It is estimated that 2,289 million euros were lost in sales and almost 5,700 jobs were destroyed a year in the EU due to falsifications in this sector.” In tax only 2,068 million euros vanished. Spain, in the focus. The sector does not happen as evil throughout the EU. Euipo estimates for example that the Portuguese industry falsified some 33 million of euros in sales and just over 200 jobs every year. In Austria, illicit copies subtract the winemakers and other professionals in the sector near 28 million of euros and in Greece that invoice amounts to 49 million. The blow is more severe in Germany, with losses of 279 million of euros, Italy (302 millionor France, where that hole amounts to 316 million of euros. They are high figures, but not as much as those suffered by Spain, one of the world’s great wine powers with Italy or France. He warns Euipo clearly, which launches a warning: “Spain is the first EU country in direct economic loss in this sector, with 380 million in sales not made by falsifications.” The Spanish sector is also one of the ones that loses the most for that cause: more than 1,100 positions per year, a fact that only exceeds France. Old problem, new challenges. The falsifications of wines and spirits are no novelty, but the authorities continue to encounter new challenges. The EUIPO notes that the rise of online trade “has opened new roads” for the sale of copies and makes customers “increasingly difficult” when distinguishing between an authentic and a falsified article, a problem that does not only affect the industry of alcoholic beverages. “Criminal networks manipulate labels, containers and even alter the manufacturing processes, focusing on value products,” duck The organism. In the specific case of alcohol, what experts do perceive is that counterfeiters are resorting to “sophisticated methods” to mock controls, which includes from the reuse of original bottles to the impression of false labels. Two countries: China and Türkiye. Community authorities have not only detected the most punished nations (at an economic and employment level) for falsifications. The report From Euipo does something else: pointing out the countries of origin that are most frequently related to food and drink falsifications. And there are two that stand out if we focus on the pirate copies that were seized between 2019 and 2020 on the EU borders: China and Türkiye. As a conclusion, the text slides another equally important idea. Falses are not a problem just because of the damage they cause to the sector or their ability to destroy employment. The Euipo adds another more important handicap: public health. “Recent reports alert about the risks of these consumer health products,” warns Before remembering that food and drink has been detected with “dangerous substances”, such as methanol, mercury or pesticides.

China is stopping money and is starting to charge it. They are not good news for Spain

by

The golden age of Chinese financing is over. Beijing no longer gives money to build ports and railroads, now it is demanding payment of what it lent at the time. Why is it important. China has lent more than 800,000 million dollars to 150 countries since 2013 With its initiative of the ‘Silk route‘. Today, 60% of that portfolio is in the hands of technical bankruptcy or on the edge of the financial collapse. The facts. The money that countries must return to China every year already exceed the “new” money that China lends. It is the end of the expansive model of the last decade: the country is going from being a generous lender to becoming a relentless creditor. The strategy. China has divided its debtors into two categories, and each group applies a radically different treatment: Large countries with huge debts (80% of the portfolio): They receive bailouts, bridge loans and special facilities. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Argentina, Angola … Small countries with minor debts (Remaining 20%): Only payment extensions. Zero money new. Zambia, Ghana, Mongolia, Tayikistan, Republic of Congo … Of course, the treatment that the first group receives has nothing to do with generosity but with self -preservation. China is rescuing those who, to break, could make their state banks sink. The rest are abandoned to their fate. The context. The crisis began soon. Specifically in 2015, two years after starting this strategy, when the prices of some raw materials collapsed. Covid accelerated the problems, as well as the war in Ukraine. The rise in interest rates at a global level It was the lace. The money trail. China is replicating the Western Banks Manual of the 1980s and nineties, when Wall Street and the City massively lent petrodollars after the oil crises of the seventies. When the eighties debt crisis arrived, they went from financing development to demand structural adjustment programs. The same banks that had pushed indebtedness became the toughest creditors. China is in that transition: of “Strategic Development Partner” to creditor which prioritizes their banking balances on the stability of debtor countries. It is the market, friend. Deepen. For Spain, the change has three impact vectors: The big construction and Spanish engineering (ACS, Actiona, Sacyr) lose access to megaprojects financed by Chinese banks, especially in Infrastructure in Africa and Asia. Direct Chinese investment in Spain will be more selective: less strategic purchases and more demand for immediate profitability in sectors such as energy and technology. Financial instability in African and Latin American countries where Spanish companies (Telefónica, Iberdrola, Repsol) operate increases political and exchange risk, complicating its operations in markets that depended on Chinese financial oxygen. In summary. China has completed its emerging power metamorphosis to established power, and its financial policy reflects it. The Silk Route was the last great expansive project of a country that sought global influence buying loyalty with cheap money. Now that it has that influence, it acts like any mature creditor: charging. It is the end of an era and the beginning of a more predictable global financial order, but also more ruthless.
