Elon Speaks About China Taking Control Of Taiwan & The Importance Of China's Economy twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Elon Musk claimed that he is "the reason OpenAI exists," citing his past investment in the entity, and that Microsoft exerts control over the AI company, an assertion strongly denied by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
Elon on the price of Teslas: "A lot of people still think Teslas are super expensive...but now we're at the point where the starting point of a Tesla is actually below the average selling price of a car in the United States."

Technology is moving so fast, it's hard to tell what's real anymore.
These 10 mind-blowing tech inventions are pushing the limits of what we thought was possible: 👇
1. A paralyzed man is now able to "speak" in his own voice, thanks to Elon's Neuralink brain chip.
Bradford Smith, who has ALS—a disease that left only his brain and eyes working—got a Neuralink implant in January. Now, he can talk with his family more normally.
He types using just his thoughts on a virtual keyboard. Then Grok AI helps complete his sentences and turns the text into speech that sounds like his real voice, recreated from old audio clips.
Bradford shared his experience and a look at the interface on Twitter, expressing how happy he is with the result.
2. Scientists in South Korea have created a liquid robot that can move through metal grates.
This flexible robot can change its shape to squeeze through tight spaces, opening up new possibilities for rescue missions, surveillance, and medical use.
They recently released Firebase Studio — an AI tool that can build and ship entire applications from a simple idea.
This isn’t just a code generator…
It’s a full-stack app builder powered by AI.
Here’s what you need to know: 🧵
1. Firebase Studio is a new cloud-based development platform made for building AI-powered apps. It brings everything you need into one place — from writing and testing your code to deploying and running apps in production.
It’s designed to save you time, reduce complexity, and help you create high-quality AI applications faster than ever. Whether you're just starting or scaling up, Firebase Studio makes the entire process smoother with built-in tools and automation.
2. Quickly Build AI Apps with Firebase Studio
Firebase Studio makes it easy to start building AI apps using simple prompts, images, or even sketches. Just use the App Prototyping agent to create working web app prototypes (starting with Next.js) in seconds.
When you click “Prototype this app,” it instantly creates a functional Next.js web app — not just the UI, but also the backend setup.
It also connects everything with Genkit and gives you a Gemini API key, so your AI features work right away without any extra setup.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇
1. OpenAI is giving college students in the US and Canada free access to ChatGPT Plus until the end of May.
This $20/month plan includes advanced tools like GPT-4o (its most powerful AI model), image creation, voice features, and better research support — all for free during final exam season. The move is seen as part of OpenAI’s push to compete with rivals like Anthropic in the education space.
2. Google introduces CURIE, a new benchmark to test how well AI can handle scientific tasks.
CURIE stands for long-Context Understanding, Reasoning, and Information Extraction. It's designed to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) can solve complex scientific problems and support researchers in real-world scientific work.
