  • Elon Musk Terms India Not Having Permanent Seat In UNSC As ‘Absurd’ | world news

    Tesla founder and owner of social media platform Musk made the remarks while replying to a post of American-Israeli businessman Michael Eisenberg who confronted Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres’ post backing Africa for a permanent seat.

    “How can we accept that Africa still lacks a single Permanent Member in the Security Council? Institutions must reflect today’s world, not that of 80 years ago. September’s Summit of the Future will be an opportunity to consider global governance reforms & rebuild trust,” said Guterres.

    To this, Eisenberg responded, “And what about India? Better yet is to dismantle the UN and build something new with real leadership.”

    And what about India?

    Musk responded to Eisenberg’s post saying there needs to be a revision of the UN bodies. “At some point, there needs to be a revision of the UN bodies. Problem is that those with excess power don’t want to give it up. India not having a permanent seat on the Security Council, despite being the most populous country on Earth, is absurd. Africa collectively should also have a permanent seat imo,” said Musk.

    India has been vying for a permanent seat in the UNSC but its bid has been blocked by China time and again. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had questioned the credibility and effectiveness of the UNSC. PM Modi had once said that the credibility and effectiveness of global institutions is being questioned as there has been no change in these institutions despite the passage of time. “These institutions reflect the mindset and realities of the world 75 years ago,” he had said.

    The reform of the United Nations Security Council has been under discussion for over a decade, yet member nations have not reached a consensus on the council’s size and whether additional nations should possess veto powers. Consequently, the Security Council still mirrors the global power dynamics of 1945, with the P-5 (the USA, UK, France, Russia, and China) retaining their privileged status as victors of the Second World War.

    Countries such as India, Germany, Japan, and Brazil have been advocating for the acquisition of permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council. These nations aspire to have a more significant role in global governance and decision-making within the UN, reflecting their economic and geopolitical importance on the world stage.

  • Elon Musk’s X To Bring Audio And Video Calls For Android Users; Details Inside |

    New Delhi: Elon Musk’s project in a recent update of X(formerly twitter) is unveiling a new functionality that enables Android users to initiate audio and video calls directly within the app. This information was shared by Enrique, an engineer at X, who mentioned that Android users can utilize this feature by performing a effortless app update.

    Launched in its initial version on iOS in October, the calls feature enables users to connect directly on the platform without the need for phone numbers. X engineer Enrique on Friday announced in a post “Audio and video calls on X slowly rolling out for Android users today! Update your app and call your mother,” 

    This feature will be limited to premium users. Users can control their preferences for audio and video calls by going to Settings > Privacy and Safety > Direct Messages. Within these settings, users can specify who can start calls, with choices ranging from people in their address book, those they follow, and verified users. Users also have the option to choose multiple preferences from these categories.

    X introduced a new entry-level paid subscription for verified organizations earlier this month available at $200 per month or $2,000 per year. This basic tier for verified organizations includes a gold check-mark badge and various extra advantages, providing a more affordable option compared to the “full access” tier which is priced at $1,000 per month.

    The company recently clarified that the new subscription tier, tailored for smaller businesses offers subscribers benefits such as advertising credits and priority support. This strategic move is intended to assist smaller organizations in achieving faster growth on the X platform by providing them with a cost-effective yet impactful way to enhance their visibility and engagement.

  • X, Formerly Twitter, May Go Bankrupt Under Elon Musk If Advertisers Keep Fleeing |

    London: The loans Elon Musk took out to buy Twitter (now called X) was about $13 billion and the social media company has to pay about $1.2 billion in interest payments every year.

    As big advertisers quit the platform and X cannot pay the interest on its loans or pay employees, then it could actually go bankrupt, the BBC reported on Sunday. “But that would be an extreme scenario that Musk would surely want to avoid,” the report mentioned.

    However, for a company he bought for $44 billion, bankruptcy might sound unthinkable but “it is possible”. Disney and Apple are no longer advertising on X and Musk told companies last week to “Go f*** yourself.”

    Retail giant Walmart has confirmed that it is not advertising on X. “We aren’t advertising on X as we’ve found other platforms to better reach our customers,” a Walmart spokesperson was quoted as saying in reports.

    The departure of Walmart adds to the growing list of firms leaving X after Musk endorsed an antisemitic post last month (for which, he apologised last week). Apple, Disney, IBM, Comcast and Warner Bros. Discovery are among the companies no longer buying ads on X.

    Last year, around 90 per cent of X’s revenue came from advertising. Not any more. Musk has warned that the loss of big advertisers would spell the end of X. “If the company fails, it will fail because of an advertiser boycott. And that will be what bankrupts the company.” he said.

    “What this advertising boycott is going to do is kill the company. And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great detail,” Musk had told the audience at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit.

    In 2022, Twitter’s advertising revenue was around $4 billion. Insider Intelligence estimates that this year, it will drop to $1.9 billion. After Musk’s outburst against big advertisers, X is reportedly aiming to tap small and medium businesses (SMBs) to offset the advertising loss from big companies.

    A new report by The Financial Times has claimed X will now turn to SMBs to shore up revenue after Musk angered big brands by supporting antisemitic content.

    “Small and medium businesses are a very significant engine that we have definitely underplayed for a long time,” a company spokesperson was quoted as saying. “It was always part of the plan, now we will go even further with it,” the company added.

In retaliation, Israel has hit the main base of Hamas in ‘Gaza Strip’ with bombs and missile attacks. Common people are losing their lives on both sides. Meanwhile, social media is being used to portray Hamas as a victim of this war and create an atmosphere in its favor.

  • Twitter fined Rs 50 lakh for not obeying central government’s order, know the whole matter

    The Karnataka High Court on Friday rejected Twitter’s petition against the central government’s order. The Center had asked Twitter to block some accounts, tweets and URLs, which the company did not agree to. The order was challenged in court. The court said that the company’s petition has no basis. While hearing the case, Justice Krishna S. Dixit’s single bench imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh on Twitter and directed to deposit the fine amount within 45 days. According to PTI report, Justice Dixit, while rejecting Twitter’s plea, said that he agreed with the Centre’s argument that the government has the power to block tweets and ban accounts. Between 10 different orders issued by the Central Government were challenged. Twitter had earlier claimed that the government had directed it to block 1474 Twitter accounts, 175 tweets, 256 URLs and one hashtag, but only the orders related to 39 URLs were challenged in the court. The court had reserved its decision in this case on April 21, which was pronounced today. Twitter had described the government orders as arbitrary and against freedom of expression. Despite knowing that there is a provision of 7 years imprisonment and fine for not following the Centre’s order, Twitter did not follow the orders. In its decision, the court told Twitter that you are a company worth billions of dollars, not a farmer or a common man who is not aware of the law. The Central Government Minister has also reacted to this decision. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrashekhar has said that Twitter’s decision to challenge the government notice in court to block some accounts was actually part of the ‘fictitious story’ put forward by the company’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

    It is noteworthy that former Twitter CEO Dorsey had recently claimed that the Indian government had warned of shutting down the company in the country and raiding its employees if Twitter posts were not removed and Twitter accounts were not banned. Dorsey had claimed that the posts and accounts that were pressured to be removed were related to protests against agricultural laws and criticism of the government. The minister said that the court order makes it clear that all platforms should be banned in India. The law has to be followed.
