Elon Musk has said that Mars will be part of the United States. It is an unusual affront to the outdoor space treaty

by

See Elon Musk on stage in a political event is already a guarantee that In the morning the bread will upload. But this time his words have resonated beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. The echo has felt up to Mars. The phrase. During a political rally in Wisconsin, with a gigantic American flag projected behind him, and dressed in his Spacex blue jacket, Elon Musk pronounced The following phrase: “I will die in the United States. I’m not going anywhere. I could go to Mars, but it will be part of the United States.” The affront. He Treaty about outer space From 1967, signed today by 115 countries, it establishes that “the ultra -resort space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriations by claim of sovereignty, through use or occupation, or by any other means.” Musk’s statement, individually, does not directly violate the agreement, which is only binding for governments. But his words are an unusual affront if they are interpreted as a suggestion that the United States will claim Mars as his, violating international law. The contradiction. Interestingly, Spacex, Elon Musk’s aerospace company, keeps in the Starlink service terms A legal notice about Mars that contradicts the treaty and in turn the recent statements of its founder: “For the services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars through Starship or other spacecraft, the parties recognize that Mars is a free planet and that no land government has authority or sovereignty on Martian activities. Consequently, disputes will be resolved by principles of self -government, established in good faith, at the time of the Martian resolution” What is the plan. Since the foundation of Spacex in 2002, Musk’s long -term vision includes the Colonization of Mars. Its objective is to establish a self -sufficient settlement on the red planet that would guarantee the survival of humanity as a multiplaneary species if something happened on earth. Spacex is developing the Gigantic Rocket Starship To give logistical support to this titanic project, and plan launch the first unmanned missions At the end of next year. But at the time of truth, only governments and hundreds of thousands of volunteers willing not to return They would have the ability to carry out a permanently inhabited colony on Mars. Political pressure. NASA marked as a priority objective the return to the moon, but Musk, which Consider the moon “a distraction”he is pressing the agency with its political power and its enormous resources to accelerate the missions with astronauts to the red planet. You have already got Donald Trump Declare Mars the “manifest destiny” from the United States, and things could get even more on their part if Jared Isaacman, Spacex’s commercial partner, assumes NASA administration after being nominated by the president. Against the law. Of course, one thing would be to plant the American flag on Mars, something that also China intends to do with yours in 2040and another very different would be to claim the independence of a Martian colony. Any property claim on Mars, does NASA or Spacex, would be considered an American claim, due to its continuous jurisdiction, and would be prohibited. If Musk’s declaration is interpreted as a territorial claim, It would be incompatible with the principles of the international treaty. On the other hand, it is true that Musk has no problem changing his opinion. Until recently, he argued that Martian settlers would directly legislate the planet with a political self -government system for direct democracy. The laws would be voted by the people, without political intermediaries, the businessman proposed.

XAI of Elon Musk acquires X, also from Elon Musk: a movement that almost no one saw

by

Elon Musk has announced that xai, The artificial intelligence startup founded in 2023 to compete with Openaihas acquired X, the social network previously known as Twitter. As explained, the operation has been closed through a exchange exchange. The assessment. During the last months, much has been speculated on the value of XAI and X, with figures that changed according to the different financing rounds. With this transaction, there is already a clearer reference, at least according to the Musk version: XAI becomes valued at 80,000 million dollars, while X stands at 33,000 million. This last figure amounts to 45,000 million if 12,000 million are added in debt, always according to the businessman himself. {“Videid”: “X8N07SL”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Elon Musk and his obsession with the letter x that you did not know”, “Tag”: “Webedia-Prod”, “Duration”: “495”} Musk presents Xai as “one of the laboratories of the leaders in the world”, although he is still far from his main rival. Openai reached an assessment of 157,000 million dollars in 2024 And it could reach 300,000 million With the support of SoftBank. Chatgpt It remains the reference, although Xai has updated Grok with functions such as image generation and their own app. What changes with the acquisition? According to Musk, the operation will allow “combining data, models, computer, distribution and talent.” In practice, integration was already evident: Grok was integrated into X for months. What changes is the legal and corporate structure. In Xataka The fever for the chatgpt images is “melting” the OpenAi GPUs: the company has already begun to limit access It will be necessary to see if this restructuring implies offices, transfers or equipment mergers. For now, the impact for users seems minimal. Of course, with Musk in command, everything can change overnight. The promise: offer more intelligent and personalized experiences.

So many second -hand cars from Tesla have never been sold. It is the nth proof of the crisis created by Elon Musk

by

American policies have taken a 180º turn as far as electric mobility and automobile industry are concerned. In recent years we had become accustomed to fiscal incentives for the purchase of electric cars and their production in North America. In just a few months, Donald Trump has confirmed what we already suspected: is determined to end it. First eliminating tax incentives To buy an electric car, a project that is still underway and that would eliminate the subsidy of 7,500 euros for the purchase of cars of this type. Second with the imposition of 25% tariffs to everything that between its borders. Joe Biden’s government made the Inflation reduction lawin which they contemplated Fiscal aid to those who produce in the country but also to those who centralize their production in North America, including Mexico and Canada with whom the United States has a special commercial treaty. However, the tariffs approved by the new Government of Donald Trump will tax with 25% all cars or pieces for the manufacture of them that enter through their borders, including these last two countries. Curiously, Tesla benefits of both measures. It is not that he draws a direct benefit on them, the problem for the competition is that it affects them more than the company of Elon Musk. Tesla leads in the sale of electric cars in the United States with solvency since they have the best autonomy/price ratio and A supercargators’ own network. Two key aspects in a country with a network of poor loaders. Secondly because they are the only ones that manufacture in the United States all the electric cars that sell in the country. Yeah, Elon Musk has gone to x to throw balls out And say that Tesla will also be affected by tariffs but, of course, It will be to a lesser extent that those who manufacture outside the borders of the United States. And, despite everything, Tesla have to demonstrate that he can keep holding rhythm. Good for the political positions of Donald Trump or because the company begins to find its roof, more and more Tesla electric cars are more in the second -hand market. In fact, according to Reutersthey have never been so much. A second -hand market that is a reflection of much more So many Tesla had never put themselves in the second -hand market in the United States. Is what he states Reuters. The Communication Agency has used the data of Edmundsa well-known portal of second-hand cars in the country. The agency indicates that last month, Tesla represented 1.4% of the transactions that were carried out on the platform. It does not seem a figure too high if it were not because in the same month last year they barely represented 0.4%. That is, in February 2025 they were sold three times more second -hand tesla That a year ago. From the Purchase Portal, they point out that the data is a reflection of how “loyalty to the brand is being reduced (…) Elon Musk’s public participation in the government, concerns about Tesla depreciation and saturation in metropolitan areas are making some owners Insights of Edmunds. The depreciation of cars that have been put on the market, for the moment, has not been felt significantly, collect in Motorpasion. However, they are echoing the notices of the portal itself that warn that if the trend is maintained if they should be noticed very soon. The company is immersed in a Huge image crisis Derived from Elon Musk’s policies, their public appearances and their comments on social networks. Since the new president of the United States took the direction of the country we have seen the Tesla CEO Make Nazi greeting, show off the sound of deportation chains either say goodbye to thousands of people of the American public administration. All this has led to a Boicot to the companywith manifestations, attacks on concessionaires and even a bit more imaginative proposals (such as projecting images In the Tesla factory in Berlin either In Cybertruck themselves) that have been more numerous in France, Germany and, of course, the United States. That image crisis may be deriving in a Substantial Sales Fall of new cars and in the appearance of cars in second -hand portals, although more time is needed To verify to what extent is a trend or it is an internal and structural issue of the company, with a delay in the enrollments due to the arrival of the renewed Tesla Model and. What is palpable is that the disenchantment with the brand has been accentuated over time and, especially, during the last weeks. We have owners who have “disguised” their teslas as vehicles from other companies and, above all, we have a good handful of influencers publishing the sale of their electric cars. Already in September 2024, Automotive News He collected the tendency that Tesla’s owners began to put their cars embarrassed by Elon Musk’s statements during the US elections campaign. These decisions have been extended until they reach personalities with a large public speaker in the United States. From singer Sheryl Crow to actors like Jason Bateman. As we say, to finish understanding these manifestations and that media speaker is generating a real impact On Tesla’s sales we should see how the months continue to advance and check what real impact the arrival of Tesla Model Y. What is certain is that the company has a real problem to sell other vehicles, such as Cybertruck. And also that the number of vehicles in the second -hand market seems to be growing very substantially. Photo | Robbie and Maxim In Xataka | Tesla sold less cars in 2024 than in 2023.

Elon Musk has fired thousands of US officials. China and Russia want to offer them a new job: spies

by

Since Donald Trump put Elon Musk at the head of Doge, the officials have been at his point look. Instead of considering them as public employees who were hired to do a job in the administration, the millionaire first used a derogatory language towards them, for later dismiss them in bad ways. Now, China, Russia, North Korea and other enemies of the US seek to approach these officials dismissed to take advantage of their anger who has fired them to offer them a new job: informant. Fishing in a scrambled river. According to published CBS Newsaround 100,000 federal officials leave their jobs every year, either by retirement, search for new opportunities or changes in their professional career. However, the recent wave of layoffs, marked by indiscriminately dismissed more than 113,361 federal employees, has generated resentment and discontent with the government. Such and as he published CNN citing sources from the CIA, that can become a breeding ground for Russia, China, North Korea or other US adversary countries Take the opportunity to try to recruit to some of those federal employees that had access to sensitive information. “It does not need much imagination to see that these marginalized federal workers with a wealth of institutional knowledge represent amazingly attractive objectives for the intelligence services of our competitors and adversaries,” the American media told the US medium close to the government. LinkedIn: A job bag for spies. Intelligence sources told CNN that both Russia and China are focusing their efforts on those federal ex -employed who had access to confidential information, such as those of the Department of Energy, the Pentagon or the US trade office, whose information could weaken the security and strategies of the country. “This information is extremely valuable, and should not surprise that Russia, China and other organizations – as, for example, criminal organizations – are aggressively recruiting government employees,” said Theresa Payton, former information director of the White House during the presidency of George W. Bush to CBS News. As published CNNAt least two countries have already created recruitment websites and have begun to actively capture federal employees in LinkedIn, two sources indicated. John Schindler, former counterintelligence official, says it is currently very easy to locate these employees “enter LinkedIn, you see someone who ‘before was in the Department of Defense and is now looking for work’ and you think: ‘Bingo’,” said Schindler. Before, Soviet intelligence officers had to wait for a former resentful employee to contact them. Now they are announced on LinkedIn. False employment offers. As CBS News pointed out, one of the simplest ways to approach one of these ex -employed employees is to contact him through LinkedIn and offer them a job interview for false job. In the interview, the agent would discover if he had access to relevant information and could hire him as “consultants” of a cover company and receive a payment for his experience, without even knowing that he is providing information to an enemy. ANDS say, their new company could use them to obtain information discreetly without the former officials being aware of it. Fire with chainsaw. One of the problems of dismissing massively in certain strategic departments, is that they do not adopt mitigation measures. According to experts, the probability that an ex -employed angry will contact a foreign power increases as many federal employees are left without work. According to CNN sources, when an official leaves his job, he undergoes an exit interview designed to avoid the presence of moles or informantsand to remind outgoing employees their duty to preserve secrets and warn them of the security risks they face. However, Doge’s layoffs have not occurred in those terms. The spies are rubbing their hands. According to published The New York Timesthe accelerated rhythm that Elon Musk has imposed on Doge to achieve its cut goals, could have already left exposed to CIA agents and workers. In an effort to comply with the executive order of Donald Trump to reduce the template of officials, the CIA sent an email to the White House with the list of all the new employees who had been in the agency for two years or less, including CIA officers who were preparing to operate undercover, through an unqualified email server.

The US has drawn its polygraph. The person who leaked that Elon Musk has the secret plan of a war with China is sought

by

The story began Last Thursday. Apparently, the Pentagon had organized an informative meeting for Elon Musk. So far, all more or less “normal” The government role who has obtained the richest man in the world since Trump was re -elected. The problem was the task of the apparent meeting, According to the New York Times: Put Musk aware of the Military Secret Plan that has in the United States before a possible war war with China. The schism has been such that Pentagon itself seeks at this time to the culprit. Presidential denial. After the Times articlePresident Donald Trump did not take long in reject publicly The possibility that Musk has access to secret military plans related to a potential conflict with China. As we said, according to the newspaper, Musk would have been scheduled to receive a high -level informative session in the Pentagon on US military strategies against Chinawhat aroused concern due to their extensive commercial links With that country. Trump denied the existence of this session and said that, although Musk is significantly helping the government, identifying “waste, fraud and abuse,” It would not be appropriate Sharing high sensitivity information, emphasizing that, in his opinion, Musk himself would not want to put himself in that position. The visit and multiple interpretations. Musk, CEO of Spacex and Tesla, in addition to part -time government advisor, visited the pentagon the day after the exclusive Times, on Friday, March 22, and said A private meeting Of more than an hour with the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and with the Vice Chief of the Joint General Staff, Admiral Christopher W. Gray. Originally, according to two officials cited by the TimesMusk was going to be received in “The Tank”, a high security conference room within the building, to discuss defense strategies in case of a confrontation with China. It was also mentioned that the meeting would include Admiral Samuel J. Paparo, head of the United States Indo-Pacific Command. However, this last session seems that It was finally canceled After the publication of the article. Musk finally met at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, not in the “Safe Sala”, which could have limited access to classified material. Postures and ambiguity. During an event in the Oval office in which Trump and Hegseth announced a new defense contract for the new Air Force hunting, Both denied The version of Times, describing it as “a false story.” Hegseth insisted that the visit It was informal and revolved around government efficiency issues. Trump claimed to have learned of the alleged classified session Through the newspaper And he declared that he had called his chief of Cabinet and Hegseth to confirm the veracity of the information, who discarded it as absurd. Despite this, Trump took the opportunity to underline that, due to Musk’s businesses in China, It would be reckless Share sensitive military plans, marking one of the clearest limits so far regarding the relationship between the tycoon and the administration. Lack of clarity. I counted in Another later article The Times there are areas Gray at the meeting. Neither Musk nor Hegseth answered questions from the press at the end of it. When questioned by a reporter of the Times about the content of the meeting, Hegseth replied Dry: “Why would I tell you?”, Before retiring without clarifications. A senior defense official, speaking under condition of anonymity, said Musk attended to provide, and not receive, an informative session focused on industrial policy and sharing experiences linked to their companies. Trump, meanwhile, He reaffirmed this version Subsequently, stating that the visit was related to Musk’s efforts to reduce the size of the government and improve the efficiency of public spending. Tension after controversy. Be that as it may, the United States Department of Defense has started formal investigationwhich includes the use of polygraph tests, to identify those responsible for internal leaks after the accusations arising around Musk’s recent visit to Pentagon. The decision was promoted after Musk itself publicly demandedthrough Your social network Xthe prosecution of Pentagon officials that would be disseminating “maliciously false information” about their relationship with the military institution. Criminal implications. Before the magnitude of the scandal, Joe Kasper, Hegseth Cabinet Chief, announced the immediate start of research to identify unauthorized leaks of information on national security. In a memorandum issued on March 21, Kasper indicated that the investigation will collect A complete record of unauthorized disseminations within the Department of Defense and will issue recommendations to improve confidentiality protocols. Who are responsible will be referred to criminal authorities corresponding for prosecution. This investigative offensive, which includes interrogations with lies detector, represents an unprecedented response within the American defense apparatus and reflects the level of concern generated by filtration. Tesla and China. The truth is that the controversy that has emerged is much less trivial, and has to do with the Musk’s delicate balance Between the two powers. Tesla, Musk’s automotive company, has been one of The big beneficiaries of Chinese policies in favor of electric vehicles. His factory in Shanghai is the biggest and company productive, and represents approximately 37% of its global sales. To fully operate in the country, Tesla has received incentivesregulatory approvals and privileged access to the market, including authorizations to display autonomous driving technology. Starlink and China. In parallel, Spacex and its Starlink satellite system, essential for the operations of the Department of Defense, place Musk in a dual position: as a key supplier for the national security of the United States and as an entrepreneur with strong interests in a rival power. Dissonance becomes even more evident for the past comments of Musk himself, who Taiwan has described as “an integral part of China” and has proposed a reintegration model similar to Hong Kong’s, ideas that have been Well received in Beijing But harshly criticized by Taipei and by US officials.

Elon Musk fired 6,000 employees two weeks ago. Now the US faces the massive entry of invasive species

by

Elon Musk had several weeks ago that his efficiency department (Doge) has an advantage over the rest: they work 120 hours a week. Incredible that their words are, the facts seem to be proved, because the strenuous working days have led more than an alarming calculation error between mass dismissals and dismantling key programs. Latest: release To so many people that the country’s health controls have weakened. Administrative errors. It Wired counted in a report where he took stock since the creation of the Doge office. In just a few weeks, their actions had included the publication of classified information by accidentthe desperate dismissal and recontraction of Nuclear Safety Expertsor the erroneous inflation of governmental “savings” In 7,992 million dollars. For the medium, the failures They reflect a combination of technological arrogance and absolute ignorance of the government’s functioning, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Risks in food safety. Doge has implemented an unprecedented purge within several government agencies, but few dismissals reflect the climate of chaos such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) such an excessive scissors that has triggered a Crisis in Food Safety and trade, leaving the country vulnerable to invasive species and the increase in food. The reason? With the elimination of 6,000 jobs in Februarythe USDA lost a significant part of its highly trained personnel, including inspectors, biologists and coaches of detector dogs that protected American agriculture of pest and zoonotic diseases. In fact, Derek Copeland, former National Dog Detection Training Center coach, warned that the reduction Personnel affects the ability to detect threats such as the giant African snail or the Asian beetle of long horns, which could have devastating consequences for local crops and ecosystems. Blow to inspection and biosafety. There are more. The protection and quarantine units have been of the most affectedwith the loss of hundreds of inspectors, which has significantly reduced controls on agricultural imports. According to experts, this lack of personnel has converted inspections into A chaotic and disorganized processespecially in key ports such as Los Angeles and Miami, who have seen 35% reductions in their quarantine staff and up to 60% in their smuggling detection team. This, in turn, has generated delays in merchandise processing, which could translate into a price increase in supermarkets and a massive waste of foods that are spoiled while waiting to be inspected. Impact on economy and commerce. The damage is not limited to agricultural security. Mike Lahar, regulatory affairs manager at the Deringer customs broken National Security. It’s not A trivial theme. A single error in the detection of a plague I could tithe whole cropswhich would affect not only farmers but the entire food supply chain. In addition, the accumulation of containers without inspection is affecting other industrial sectors, as shipments are being stranded, reducing the availability of essential goods and raising costs for consumers and companies. Legal uncertainty. Trump’s government has defended cuts as An efficiency measurebut the repercussions have generated alarm. Republican senators, like Joni Ernst, previously They supported the program Of pest detection with dogs, but they have avoided ruling on the dismissals. Two federal judges have ordered reinstallation Of dismissed employees, but the White House has described these decisions as “absurd and unconstitutional,” leaving thousands of workers in uncertainty. Meanwhile, the USDA has announced a 45 -day break in the dismissals, but without guarantees of rectation for those affected. Collapse in agri -food security. If the crisis persists, experts warn about a possible scenario similar to that of pandemic, with a shortage of certain products and a Food inflation driven by lack of control in the ports. In this regard, Joe Hudicka, veteran of the supply chain industry, anticipates that large cities and supermarkets can better absorb the impact, but rural communities and small businesses will be the most affected. For his part, Kit Johnson, director of Commercial Compliance at John S. James, warns that the reduction of inspections could lead to An agricultural catastrophe If invasive species manage to establish themselves without being detected. Undecatization? Wired counted that experts slide two hypotheses to try to explain the disaster caused by Doge. The first is that the initiative never intended to make the government more efficient, but simply dismantle agencies to pave the path to privatization and obtain access to sensitive government data. Under this logic, the elimination of regulations and administrative chaos would favor the intervention of private companies in key sectors such as defense, agriculture and security. The second hypothesis is that Musk and his team really believe in their mission, but they completely lack the skills to execute it, replicating that arrogance that is presupposed to Silicon Valley by assuming that the ability to build software translates into competition to handle the government apparatus. In other words: Musk can be a genius in certain areas, but his performance as a “de facto CEO” of the government is increasingly close to a failure. Consequences. Thus, the destruction caused by Doge not only affects government efficiency, but can have economic and geopolitical implications In the long term. The purge of thousands of employees has triggered unemployment and generated instability in key sectors, which could have recessive effects on the economy. The decision to dismantle critical areas such as those of the USDA have weakened key plots such as Food security and agricultural protection of the nation at a time when the supply chain already faces challenges such as The aviar flu and the Commercial disputes with China. Meanwhile, as ports begin to feel the effects of the lack of inspections, concern grows between farmers, merchants and consumers. If the situation is not reversed, the country could face an unprecedented agricultural crisis.

Elon Musk described Tesla as $ 25,000 as an “absurd idea.” Now he needs it to compete in China

by

The electric car market is squeezed. And the brand that has made the most popularize technology faces an uncertain future. The risk of Tesla staying behind begins to be evident without a 25,000 euros car in its range. It was the opportunity to open market but something has had to happen within the company so that we do not see a product that promised to be groundbreaking when everything was in its favor. A promise that is no longer clear if it is a promise. We are five years listening to the car of the $ 25,000 of Tesla. The first time the company put a price and date to the concept was in the Battery Day of 2020. Then the company said we should see the project materialized in 2023. Like so many other promises of the company, this did not happen. And it’s not just that it didn’t happen. Last year, taking advantage of the presentation of its short -term robotaxis project, Elon Musk himself came to qualify that $ 25,000 car as “Absurd idea”. More necessary than ever. The company’s performance has lived in a roller coaster in recent months. Donald Trump’s election as the new president of the United States fired optimism among investors Given Musk’s approach to the new executive. Since the start of the year, performance has been deflated to place in pre-elections. In that growth and subsequent puncture there is a lot of Cult stock but also of bad results. 2024 was, after many years, the first year in which Tesla did not grow And the first months of 2025 are being really bad. As hope, the renewal of a Tesla Model and which should be felt in registration records as of this March. But, in addition, Tesla is seeing how the rivals squeeze. The last to join has been Mazda with its first big electric carlarger than the Tesla Model 3 But rivaling in price. It is not the only case, useful electric cars For day to day and long trips for 30,000 euros They also begin to emerge. And all before the arrival of Toyota. China, a symptom. Of the concerns within the company, its plans in China tell us a lot. The country was first to receive the renewal of Tesla Model Y. In the most competitive market for the electric car, the renewal was essential. Byd’s response has been ambitious shortly after: give away your driving aid systems. The movement is a missile to Tesla that until a few months ago He had not achieved permits to continue improving his functions of driving aid in the country. Of course, it is an argument of sale in front of a more expensive car and that lacks smaller options. That is, it does not have a proposal where they are Great sales of the Chinese market. In Tesla’s bosom they must be more than aware of the problem and, in fact, in Reuters They ensure that the company prepares a cut version of Tesla Model and current. It should be at least 20% less expensive to produce. Later he would arrive in the United States and Europe, according to the sources of the news agency. Something broke. But what happened for Tesla to “abandon” the car of the 25,000 euros? It is difficult to believe that the company has taken a radical turn in its proposal simply by Elon Musk’s designs. In fact, there was already investors who questioned the change strategy when the project was announced Tesla Cybercab. In recent years, Tesla said she had solid bases to think she could reduce production by 50% of their cars. The idea was to make the electric car a kind of small puzzle. But the greater the Gigacasting That so many benefits has given the company, it is more complicated to create the first mother piece. A problem that had been entrenched, according to Reuters. And to this we must add that Tesla does not get the expected economic performance in its 4680 batteries. They were the great promise to lower the electric car and approach the desired $ 25,000 but The results are not being expected. In fact, a group of researchers have evaluated these batteries by confronting them with those of ByD and ensure that Those of the Chinese manufacturer are much cheaper to produce. A thread of hope. As we say, it seems difficult to think that the company has completely abandoned a project that needs irremediably to aspire to be the manufacturer of Dozens of millions of cars which (assures) aspires to be. The appearance of a Tesla Model and trimmed for China is one of those symptoms. But, in addition, rumors have consistency because at the end of 2024 The Wall Street Journal He also claimed that the company is determined to launch a smaller SUV than Model and, although it would not reach the long -awaited border. Therefore, it seems not so much that Tesla does not want to launch an electric car of $ 25,000. Everything indicates that it cannot. The productive processes that sought to save a very high percentage of the costs seem to be struck but the intention to continue offering new more affordable models does seem to be present within the company.

Elon Musk has revealed the formula of his team’s success. The problem is that they barely have time to sleep and eat

by

Facing The experiments and tests around the world that seek to establish a four -day workdaythe richest man on the planet proposes a hardly justifiable leap against. Elon Musk recently revealed which is the “formula of success” of the efficiency office it manages in the United States government. The keys: work So many hours that sleep deprivation threatens the health of the workers themselves. The culture of the extreme. He did it a few weeks ago through Your X account. Elon Musk revealed then that he and his department of government efficiety (Doge) work work nothing less than 120 hours per weeka figure that triples the standard day 40 hours. Musk argued that this titanic effort is what allows them to overcome their “bureaucratic opponents,” who operate with conventional schedules. What does science say to all this? Divide the day. Making the accounts more or less standard, and since a week has 168 hours, working 120 hours is to leave alone 48 hours for any other activityincluding in the eating equation, bathing, moving to work/return home and, of course, sleeping. In the best case, if an employee allocated those 48 hours only to sleep, he would get a maximum of 6.8 hours per night, well below The 8 recommended hours by health experts. However, it is still a utopia considering the time of displacement and any other of the basic needs, so it is likely that real rest is much lower. Science. In Fortune They collected several studies that warn about the serious consequences of working in excess. Mayo Clinic points out that sleep less than 7 hours At night it can contribute to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke and depression. WHO data already indicated in 2016 that 745,000 people died by cardiovascular diseases associated with working days of 55 hours or more. Microsueños. Since the 1950s, scientists Like William Dement They have documented The effects of sleep In the brain, identifying the IMPORTANCE OF REM DREAM and discovering the phenomenon of The so -called “microsueños”episodes of momentary unconsciousness that can cause fatal errors at work. More recently, studies have shown that lack of sleep reduces activity in The prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and in The hippocampus (key in memory). The impact is not just neurological. The study of the World Health Organization indicated that working more than 55 hours per week increases by 35% the risk of stroke and in 17% the risk of heart disease. In terms of productivity, an investigation from Stanford University concluded that it falls dramatically After 50 hours a weekand that working 70 hours per week generates almost The same production as 56 hourswhich suggests decreasing yields beyond a certain point. Musk’s obsession. The truth is that it was already known that Musk was a recognized WORLKAHOLIC. In A 2022 interview With investor Ron Baron, he confessed to having lived three years within his factories in Tesla and Spacex, sleeping in sofastents on the roofs and even under his desk, surrounded by metallic dust and the most uncomfortable conditions. No doubt, his labor philosophy of “more hours is equal to more efficiency” has been widely criticizedsince scientific evidence suggests that imposing extreme days does not guarantee better results and, instead, It affects health and the well -being of workers. Govern without sleep. They counted in a VOX medium report that the extreme work rhythm in Doge has already generated serious mistakes In public administration. From multimillionaire mathematical failures to the accidental dissemination of classified information, fatigue seems to be affecting the capacity of the Musk team to make key decisions. The recent dismissal and Hurrying reaction of essential personnel in areas such as nuclear safety and Avian flu response It is a sign that the policy of exhaustion could be having real and dangerous consequences. Plus: Trump administration is implementing Mass dismissals in the IRS In full tax season, which could generate an administrative collapse. In short, these types of measures, promoted by an apparently exhausted team, arouse concerns about the efficacy and stability of the government Under this new hyperproductivity model. The failures of “hacking” the dream. Paradoxically, Musk and other technological leaders have recognized that The dream cannot be replaced. Companies like Eight Sleepthat sold rest capsules From no less than 4,600 dollars to Musk and his team, they reinforce the idea that, although the culture of extreme work remains promoted, they are also looking for more efficient ways to achieve that eight -hour standard. Even figures such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have defended the Importance of rest In productivity. On the other sidewalk, while Musk insists on that exhausting routine, he himself has admitted that his ancient habits caused “brain pain”, in fact, his Erratic behavior in networks Social raises doubts about whether you are really improving your rest. Sleep more, no less. Despite the alleged glamor that some try to grant sleep deprivation, scientific evidence is overwhelming: The rest is indispensable For the optimal functioning of brain and body. Instead of glorifying days of 120 hours per week, the real challenge should be to find ways to maximize productivity without compromising health. One thing seems clearly clear: at the end of the day, not even the brightest and most innovative minds can escape human biology. Musk either.

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.

Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg and Altman believe that our mobiles have the days counted. Tim cook doesn’t have it so clear

Substitute is sought for the mobile phone. We have been looking for it for years, but it is that smartphones continue to prove to be perfect products in almost all the scenarios. However, several great technological leaders They seem clear that the mobile has an expiration dateand the AI ​​and a potential change in the way we interact with technology have the fault. Elon Musk and Neuralink. The tycoon has been trying to win the AI ​​career for some time With his startup XAI And his Grok model, but also has another startup that will end up being the one that makes the mobile disappear. It is neither more nor less than Neuralinkwhose implants could become an extraordinary option to communicate with technological devices. Bill Gates and the tattoos. The Microsoft co -founder converted to Philanthropist has already advanced in 2022 that one of the potential substitutes (or rather, accessories, at least in this case) of mobiles They are electronic tattoos. He himself ended up investing in a startup called Chaotic Moon —What was acquired by Accenture in 2015 – that combines aesthetics and biotechnology. The orientation of these tattoos is for the health moment, but it could be used for other uses. Mark Zuckerberg and glasses. Much more plausible looks like Meta and Mark Zuckerberg, than with their Ray-Ban Meta connected glasses It proposes an increasingly promising alternative to the mobile. Maybe not for everything, of course, but every time for more things. These devices can win many integers thanks to artificial intelligence, and in fact we saw how their evolution, the Project Orionit does raise a future in which perhaps the mobile is much less relevant. He already said it: His prediction is that In 2030 we will not get so much the pocket smartphone Thanks to connected glasses. Sam Altman and the AI ​​iPhone. Meanwhile, the OpenAi CEO, Sam Altman, also seems to be clear that hardware can end up being the perfect substitute for our mobile devices. We still do not know what type of device is raising, but it has joined the famous Jony Ive who for years was the head of Industrial Design in Apple. Together they have the objective of Create the “AI iPhone”. Tim Cook continues to believe on the mobile. Faced with all of them, Tim Cook believes that mobile phones still have a long way ahead. In the presentation of results of the first fiscal quarter of 2015, the Apple CEO highlighted its optimism about the future of mobiles When saying “I think there is still a lot of innovation in smartphones.” Its pro vision are for example a product that is not raised to be used outdoors, but they seem to have a rival for the finish line in study through the Project Atlas. Hardware with AI has been a failure. The truth is that a year ago the fever of devices with AI seemed to promise a turning point. However both the Humane Ai Pin like him Rabbit R1 They ended up being two great technological fiascos. None met expectations, and today both products are practically missing from the map. The optimism of Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg or Altman is striking, but today the mobile seems to continue having rope for (much) time.
