So if I understand this…send a bot to catch a bot?

Israeli tech start-up Cyabra, which worked with Elon Musk to evaluate the presence of bots on Twitter, released a new tool that can detect AI-generated text, images and profiles.

Elon Musk on Friday announced plans to remove the block feature on X, the microblogging social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

It’s a move many users are decrying as a step toward openly allowing harassment on the platform, and if he goes through with it, the change would appear to violate the rules of both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

And it wouldn’t be the first time the billionaire has gotten what he wanted despite existing rules on the App Store.

Musk may be turning to FromSoftware’s 2022 RPG for ideas on how to make the X app more ‘beautiful’.

Warren Buffett missed a trick when he passed on Tesla early on, Elon Musk said.

“He could’ve invested in Tesla when we were worth basically nothing and didn’t,” the SpaceX and Tesla CEO posted on X, the website formerly called Twitter, on Thursday.

He was responding to a post highlighting Buffett’s vast wealth and the enormous value of his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate.

The price of bitcoin plunged about 10% hours after it was revealed that Elon Musk’s SpaceX sold the cryptocurrency.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that SpaceX, which first purchased bitcoin in 2021, wrote down the value of its bitcoin holdings by a total of $373 million in 2021 and 2022 and has sold the crypto.

The write-down coincides with a steep drop in bitcoin’s price, which crashed in late 2021, setting off a “crypto winter” that extended through most of 2022.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, revealed that one of the toughest choices he’s had to make in his life was when he had “$30 million dollars left.”

Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, revealed that choosing which company to invest his last $30 million in was tough.

Elon Musk’s biography writer Walter Isaacson says that the billionaire has been motivated by French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

In the latest controversial change at Elon Musk’s social network, the service formerly named Twitter reportedly added a five-second delay when users load links to certain news sites and rival social networks. The New York Times and Reuters were affected by the delay with the t.co link-shortening service used by X, according to several news reports published yesterday.

X eliminated the delay in links to news sites yesterday afternoon, according to Reuters and The Washington Post. “When contacted for comment, X confirmed the delay was removed but did not elaborate,” Reuters wrote.

Links from X to the NYT and Reuters loaded almost instantly for us today. But we still found delays of three to five seconds in links to Substack, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads today in our tests.
