Elon Musk creates his own private city in Texas, despite protests from environmental groups

Elon Musk, having failed to establish the first city on Mars - a plan he plans to start in 2026 - has pushed for the creation of a new private municipality in the United States, the second of its kind after Irvine, California. This new city is located in Boca Chica, Texas, where the SpaceX space base and Starship launcher is located. Although it already has official status as a city, it does not have an elected government: its management will be in the hands of a senior company official.NYPD responded with violence! Tesla showroom in Manhattan was occupied by protest against MuskThe initiative, approved almost unanimously by the 300 SpaceX employees and resident collaborators, was formalized after an internal vote. Musk had requested at the end of 2024 the incorporation of this town, which was named "Starbase," covering about […]

České eso bez reprezentace cítí křivdu. Je to nefér, tvrdí

Bylo to drama do poslední jízdy. Po dvou závodech minulý týden na Trnávce a dvou v pražské Troji si reprezentaci vysloužili s dvoubodovým náskokem Jiří Prskavec a Jakub Krejčí, za nimi měli stejný součet tří ze čtyř nejlepších výsledků Přindiš a o jedenáct let mladší Jan Bárta.V případě rovnosti rozhoduje poměr vzájemných výsledků, který byl 2:2, dalším kritériem je výsledek posledního nedělního závodu. A v něm byl Bárta na druhém místě o 61 setin rychlejší a poprvé si zajistil seniorskou reprezentaci.Přindiš tak byl trochu kuriózně jako jediný ve všech závodech na stupních vítězů, ale na celkovou elitní trojici to nestačilo. „Myslím, že jsem měl mít reprezentaci jistou už v sobotu.

Milton Neves crava time “condenado” no Brasileirão: “Quem mandou?”

Milton Neves em registro no podcast "Flow" (Reprodução - YouTube) Milton Neves está cada vez mais convencido de que o Santos é um forte candidato ao descenso no Brasileirão 2025. Em texto publicado neste domingo (04), após revés do Peixe para o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre, ele voltou a ligar o alerta sobre o time da Baixada correr sérios riscos de nova queda. Crítico da contratação de Neymar, o jornalista acredita que o alvinegro tem mergulhado em um buraco perigoso e pode pagar caro por ter apostado no camisa 10 como ‘salvador da pátria’, uma vez que o atacante acumula mais tempo inativo do que dentro das quatro linhas desde que retornou ao clube. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O meu Santos também parece condenado neste Brasileirão. Hoje, até que não jogou mal, mas mesmo assim acabou derrotado pelo Grêmio lá em Porto […]
