The billionaire tech CEOs — who helm Tesla and SpaceX, and Facebook, respectively — have been feuding since at least 2016, when a SpaceX rocket explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite.

A secret audio recording obtained by ITV News has revealed Post Office boss Paula Vennells was told directly about problems with the Horizon system and warned not to cover them up. In a meeting with independent investigators from Second Sight on July 2, 2013, Ms Vennells was made aware of allegations that sub-postmaster branch accounts could be accessed remotely. This is something the Post Office had denied for years. She was also told by investigators that the company’s position in denying Horizon faults was both “dangerous” and "stupid", according to the recording. Report by Czubalam.

According to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the company's
long-term playbook aims at making Meta
a leader in advanced AI products and services.
In order to accomplish this, Meta will develop
"full general intelligence" that will rely upon
"world-class compute infrastructure.".
Zuckerberg said that because of the "lessons
that we learned from Reels," the company
has bolstered efforts to amass compute. .
We initially under-built our GPU
clusters for Reels, and when we were
going through that I decided that we
should build enough capacity to support
both Reels and another Reels-sized AI
service that we expected to emerge so
we wouldn’t be in that situation again, Mark Zuckerberg, via VentureBeat.
Zuckerberg went on to stress the importance
of the company's open source AI strategy.
Our long-standing strategy
has been to build and open
source general infrastructure
while keeping our specific product
implementations proprietary, Mark Zuckerberg, via VentureBeat.
This approach to open source
has unlocked a lot of innovation
across the industry and it’s
something that we believe in deeply, Mark Zuckerberg, via VentureBeat

SpaceX's Third Test of Its , Starship Succeeds Ahead, of Crewed Lunar Mission.
'The Independent' reports that SpaceX's third test of its
Starship has ended successfully, with the spacecraft
falling to Earth somewhere in the Indian ocean. .

moments before ultimately exploding.
The third test saw the Starship successfully launch,
separate from its booster, arrive in space, open its
payload door and then fly halfway around the Earth.
This means that the test successfully
accomplished all of the major tests
SpaceX had laid out prior to launch.
Starship is the largest and most
powerful rocket ever built, with
a towering height of 397 feet. .
CEO Elon Musk said prior to launch that the
company had made thousands of upgrades and
fixes to improve the chances of a successful test.
