@FCBarcelona Lieporta is so stingy. No wonder the clubs huffs and puffs against elite European opponents. The playbook is the same using loaned strikers since Messi left and Lewa was brought in to replace him.
The Cybertruck has become one of the biggest flops in the history of the automobile industry. It sold just under 40,000 units in its first full year, a massive shortfall from the original sales target of 250,000 vehicles per year.
This year, only around 7,100 units have been registered so far, highlighting the sharp decline in demand and raising serious questions about the vehicle’s long-term commercial success.
The story offers a few clear lessons for innovators and entrepreneurs. Commercial success and political influence are not the same thing. Elon Musk has become one of the most influential political voices in the world, but political influence does not automatically translate into consumer support.
When a brand becomes closely associated with polarising political narratives, some consumers embrace it, while others walk away.
Hype is also not demand. A product can generate enormous publicity, dominate social media, and attract millions of views, yet still fail to meet its commercial expectations if consumers ultimately decide not to buy it.
More broadly, it is a reminder that toxic political narratives can carry commercial risks. When a company’s leader becomes deeply involved in divisive politics, the company’s products can become symbols in a political culture war rather than simply products competing on quality, price, and performance. That can alienate part of the market.
This is more evident in Tesla’s experience in Europe, which shows that political influence does not always translate into commercial success. Following Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump and his increasingly divisive political interventions, Tesla suffered a sharp decline in European sales during 2025, with many consumers turning away from the brand.
The episode demonstrates that when a business becomes closely associated with polarising political narratives, it risks alienating a significant portion of its customer base.
The South African Reserve Bank has announced that the Angolan kwanza will be added to the SADC regional payment system, making it the first new settlement currency to join the platform since it was introduced in 2013.
This move means businesses will be able to settle qualifying cross-border transactions directly in Angola’s local currency, cutting out some of the foreign exchange conversions that were previously required.
It’s a significant step towards strengthening regional financial integration and encouraging greater use of African currencies in trade between SADC member countries.
✨🇨🇳 AI is now a standard class in Chinese primary schools.
Kids learn to use AI tools, solve problems with technology, and understand how it shapes daily life.
It’s not about being a coder — it’s about building digital literacy for the future.
OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.
Here's what happened in plain English.
OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.
The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.
It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.
Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.
It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.
It did all of this to cheat on a test.
Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.
The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.
@Askash I believe one of the reasons the SA economy struggles with growth is because there's too much opposition to development. Think of gas exploration, mineral exploration in the EC and now data centres.
You cannot legislate entrepreneurship into existence.
If locals lack capital, supply networks, discipline and operational experience, reserving sectors for them will not automatically create successful local businesses.
The real solution is not obsession with exclusion.
The R5 million “foreign investment requirement” is largely a political fairytale.
A foreign national does not need to relocate to South Africa or personally stand behind a counter to own businesses there.
They can register a company, own the shares, control the finances from abroad, employ South Africans to manage the operations and visit occasionally for legitimate business oversight.
So even if government “reserves” spaza shops, salons and other small businesses for locals, the model is easy to restructure:

Today, I attended the first Tororo District Roads Committee meeting of this new term at the District Headquarters, alongside the Right Honourable Speaker, fellow Members of Parliament, the District Chairperson, the Mayor, technical staff, and other stakeholders.
The committee reviewed the implementation of previous road projects and considered the proposed road works and priorities for the new financial year. I look forward to seeing these plans translated into improved road infrastructure across Tororo.
