There is an “anti-musk” movement in the US. And the concessionaires, cars and load stations of Tesla are paying it with fire

It all started with some stickers. He continued with demonstrations. And ended with attacks on cars, dealers and load stations. The political positioning of Elon Musk has raised the anger of people who are clear that their way of protesting against one of the most controversial voices of the United States government is to directly attack its most recognized brand. And the owners of their cars. A first warning. “I bought this car before Elon went crazy.” That was the message that the owners of some Tesla began to send in November 2024. At that time, the United States elections had already occurred and Elon Musk was outlined as one of the singing voices of the new government of the country. Elon Musk vs Jeff Bezos: The Galaxies War However, the figure of the owner of Tesla was going to fit in the new administration of Donald Trump. Had promised that I would lead Dogethe Government Efficiency Department dedicated to cleaning all expenses (supposedly) superfluous within the administration. But, in addition, during his electoral campaign he already defended that They will withdraw the aid to the purchase of electric cars and all support will be dismantled to jump to this type of technology. A measure that, in the short term, should benefit Tesla given Leadership in the market. “Extremely Hardcore”. They were the Words used by Elon Musk to define the future of his work at the head of Doge and the application of his measures in the state administration. But it could define, without a clipper, everything that has been experienced since Donald Trump took power in the White House. Let’s remember quickly: Concentrations. All these decisions have been heating the atmosphere in the streets. A week ago the movement Tesla Tekadown. The movement encouraged to get rid of Tesla’s actions to make them go down and try reduce the richest man portfolio in the world. Little by little they started join repentant to the campaign like those of those stickers on the political turn of Elon Musk. The movement also encouraged to concentrate in front of the company’s dealers and even has A map where you can see future demonstrations against the company. In Europe only four are counted for the next few days but in the United States there are dozens of them. And to this we must add the viral campaign in the United Kingdom where Elon Musk was compared with Hitler and pointed to Tesla as the company that would take you from “0 to 1939 in three seconds”. Click on the photo to go to the original tweet Of less to more. But of concentrations and messages in concessionaires (and even In the company factory in Berlin) It has gone to more violent actions. Messages of “Kill Elon” in a concessionaire who was broken all the crystals. The superior image corresponds to an Oregon dealership (United States) but also Cases have been given in Europe. In France, for example, an anarchist group has claimed the Fire of a dealership which has ended with several partially calcined cars. In California, a few weeks ago, a group of students published their notice: “The Tesla hunting season opens”. A few days later, in Florida, a good number of vehicles waiting to be delivered They vandalized. And if that were not enough, Seven Load Stations In the United States they have been burned as a boycott measure against the company.

To avoid being victims of possible attacks, the owners of some Tesla have chosen to “disguise” their cars from other brands. Thus, it is possible to see Tesla Model 3 converted to Audi, Mazda U Honda cars. And instead of damaging cars, there are those who have opted for more creative solutions: project images in the Tesla Cybertruck found on the street. Taking advantage of the night, they use the rear of the electric SUV to launch messages that remember the number of vehicle reviews or the political drift of Elon Musk.

All this has caused the community to divide even more among those who support Elon Musk, who are shown in favor of this type of protests and who simply, They try to separate the artist from the work. Other acquaintances influencers, Like Jerry Rig Eventhing (9.2 million followers on YouTube), they have assured that undoing all Tesla They have on their property. Chopped.

In an unexpected turn of events, Apple TV+ has reached Android. It is a necessary movement

by

In an unexpected turn of events, Apple TV has officially landed on Android. Since its launch in 2021, the platform had been exclusive to Apple and, although we paid the subscription, it was only possible to reproduce the contents on Apple devices. There was only one exception: Google TV. As of today, Apple TV is available on Google Play Store, so you can download on Android devices (tablets and mobile phones). Thus, it will be possible to subscribe to the Apple TV+ service from these devices. Apple needed this movement, a lot. Available in Play Store. Apple TV in Play Store, see to believe. The app can be downloaded for free, allowing APPLE TV+subscription. It is available for all devices with Android 10 or higher, and has practically the same basic functions of the app that we find on Apple devices. The main difference is that, in Apple TV for Android, purchases or rentals that we have active through iTunes Store will not be shown. This simplifies the design of the app, optimized for tablets and mobiles. Apple needs scale, no exclusivity. Apple likes that its products are within its ecosystem but, like every company, it needs its products to generate money. Apple TV+ has been facing a few storms and temporary for years, and increasing the number of users seems essential to clean up the situation. 1,000 million a yearthis is the figure that Apple was willing to spend on films that wanted to take cinemas, Like Napoleon. Failures like ‘Argylle’ Nor did they help, an ambitious comedy blockbuster who failed to reap hubble successes. Apple TV remains a very minority platform, to the point of having less viewed a month than Netflix in one day. The translation? Production cuts, Price increases of subscriptions, and Little optimistic numbers. Bad times for streaming. The streaming economy It is broken. The current race is to maintain a audience without this platform migration, and bring Apple TV to Android is precisely Apple’s plan for users to start migrating from other platforms. Shown that The price increase is not as harmful as it could be thoughtthis movement in search of the mass public is the logical and necessary for Apple. Moment of aiming the date and starting counting until next year, to check whether or not the strategy has felt.

China is closely monitoring the United States movement with Stargate. And your answer has already prepared

by

The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) cost what it costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’it will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX. These companies will support the construction during the next four years of an advanced data centers that will house the high performance computing infrastructure necessary to keep the US at the head in the field of AI. Interestingly, the spearhead of these facilities is already being built in Texas (USA). For China, this ambitious US project represents a threat to the same extent that for the country led by Donald Trump Chinese advances in AI constitute a problem. China’s response is already underway The administration headed by Xi Jinping has rushed to make the US know that its Stargate plan will receive an answer from your country. “China has made impressive advances in the construction of smart computer centers. While maintaining the current rhythm, the gap in the field of computing infrastructure that separates them from the US will be reduced even more … despite the Stargate project,” has declared Lian JyeChief analyst of the British consultant OMDIA. China has advanced a lot during the last 24 months in the field of high performance computing infrastructure SANCTIONS TO CHINA deployed by the US and its allies During the last two and a half years they pursue the development of their semiconductor industry, and Also from its AI infrastructure. In the field of integrated circuits Chinese manufacturers face the enormous challenge of producing their own equipment from extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) necessary to be able to manufacture avant -garde semiconductors. However, in the field of Chinese high performance computing infrastructures it has advanced a lot during the last 24 months. In fact, Official data They reflect that in June 2024 they were recently finished or under construction at least 250 advanced data centers and other computer facilities in China. According to the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the country led by Xi Jinping is only behind the US. Although This source is interestedhis conclusion is very credible. “We hope that China significantly increase its investments in AI and semiconductors in response to the US domain in AI,” CBM consultancy analysts foresee. It makes sense. These two great powers world supremacy are being disputedso it is understandable that each significant step that give one of the two Receive a more or less overwhelming answer from the other. We can be sure that 2025 will be a year even more agitated than 2024 in the geopolitical and technological fields, so we will be attentive to the steps that US and China will surely give.

the movement that shows that it is serious about mixed reality

by

At this point, it is already evident that the Pixels have completely changed the Android mobile sector, in a way that Google could not achieve with the Nexus (although it is not that it wanted to). Instead of simply being the reference mobile phones, the Pixels are full-fledged competitors in the market, and the new Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro This is how they demonstrate it. That is why the company’s latest move is so important for its future. In 2017, Google bought a good part of HTC’s smartphone divisionadding approximately 2,000 employees specialized in mobile development. The results of this multimillion-dollar investment have already been noticeable, with the Pixel phones, which since the sixth generation have used a processor designed by Google itself and which are already one of the most recommended phones in the Android sector. It can already be said that the investment of 1.1 billion dollars in purchasing HTC equipment has been worth it. Today, Google may have repeated history. Google announced today that it has acquired part of the HTC Vive virtual and mixed reality engineering team; The movement, which has cost him 250 million dollars, will be very familiar to readers of EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre who have been with us for a while. In fact, the goal seems to be the same: to make it easier for Google to gain a foothold in the relatively new mixed reality sector. Google itself is very clear with the objective of this acquisition: accelerate the development of the Android XR platformalthough for the moment, it has avoided confirming whether it will create its own mixed reality glasses. Let us remember that Android XR will be released thanks to a collaboration with Samsung, which will be the creator of the glasses that for now have the code name Moohan, a collaboration in which Qualcomm also participates with its new chip for wearable devices. Samsung The Free Android However, Google has already hinted that this acquisition may have important consequences for its future products. Although the main motivation for this move has been to get HTC software engineers to work on Android XR, Google has also confirmed that it has received a license to use HTC’s intellectual property, and has even opened up to the possibility of “explore future collaboration opportunities” between HTC and Google. Therefore, the possibility of Google mixed reality glasses created in collaboration with HTC is on the table. An important detail is that HTC has not sold its Vive division to Google, and will continue with the development of virtual reality and augmented vision glasses for video games and companies, such as the HTC Vive Focus Vision launched last year. Therefore, this news does not mean the end of HTC in the sector, as the sale of its smartphone division unfortunately did; Although HTC has continued to launch mobile phones from time to time, it has done so in a very limited way and only in some markets.
