Elon Musk Merges X with xAI in a $33 Billion AI Consolidation Move
Elon Musk has undertaken another major restructuring of his business empire by merging X, formerly known as Twitter, with his artificial intelligence firm, xAI. The transaction, valued at $33 billion, is an all-stock deal that aims to strengthen Musk’s AI operations and facilitate the development of Grok, xAI’s chatbot competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Musk announced the agreement through X, highlighting the convergence of data, models, computational power, distribution, and talent among the two firms. “The union values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B minus $12B debt),” he wrote.
This strategic merger is likely to harmonize Musk’s vision for social media and AI, enabling xAI to utilize X’s huge dataset for machine learning. Nevertheless, key details on investor rewards, the future of X’s existing leadership, and potential regulatory issues are left unanswered.
Bangkok Woman Gives Birth on the Street Following Hospital Evacuation Amid Earthquake
A dramatic scene was witnessed in Bangkok when a woman had to give birth to her baby outside on a stretcher after a strong earthquake from Myanmar caused evacuations throughout the city.
The shaking caused the immediate evacuation of patients from BNH Hospital and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Some patients, including those on stretchers and wheelchairs, were relocated to a park near the hospitals while medical staff took care of them outside the hospital compound.
In the midst of the pandemonium, a woman in labor had no option but to deliver her baby on the street while hospital personnel helped deliver the child. The event serves to underscore the unexpected risks that natural disasters present to medical facilities, with healthcare workers making a heroic effort to offer urgent treatment amid difficult conditions.
YouTuber Gaurav Taneja Criticized for Moving Dog to New Location
Popular YouTube personality Gaurav Taneja, who is also popularly referred to as Flying Beast, has come under widespread criticism online after announcing in one of his vlogs that he had shifted his pet dog, Mau, to his farmhouse.
In his video titled “Where is Mau?”, Taneja said his family was also worried about having the dog at home, with his father expressing unease about Mau being around. He even cited religious reasons behind the move.
The action angered his fans in large numbers, with many calling him irresponsible as a pet owner. His fans on social media criticized him for supposedly putting convenience above the welfare of his pet, with some even threatening to cancel their subscription to his channel.
One of the users stated, “If you can’t make a commitment to taking care of a pet, don’t take one home. No religion supports abandoning a living creature you took in as family.” Another user said, “Mau was brought in for opinions, and now that he is in the way, he’s been sent away. How selfish!”

Comedian Kunal Kamra Faces Three More Cases for Remarks Against Eknath Shinde
Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has found himself in legal woes once again, with three more FIRs lodged against him in Maharashtra for reportedly making insulting comments against Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Kamra had previously sparked controversy by referring to Shinde as a “gaddar” (traitor), leading to complaints from multiple individuals, including the Mayor of Jalgaon city, a hotelier, and a businessman from Nashik. The cases have been transferred to Mumbai’s Khar police station for further investigation.
Even after being called for questioning twice, Kamra has yet to appear before the authorities. With legal action in progress, the comedian still has to endure increasing pressure from political leaders and law enforcement.
Donald Trump Hopeful of US-India Trade Negotiations, Applauds Modi

Trump has also reaffirmed plans to impose retaliatory tariffs on nations that still impose high tariffs on U.S. products, a move set to commence from April 2. Nonetheless, his recent comments signal a likely breakthrough in American-Indian trade relations.
