Trump, Musk, and the Big Beautiful Breakup
Donald Trump, left, and Elon Musk depart the White House to board Marine One en route to New Jersey, March 21, 2025, in Washington. (AP) TOI correspondent from Washington: The epic war between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man kept America -- and the world -- enthralled on Friday as attempts to bring about a truce between Elon Musk and Donald Trump failed. There was a brief prospect of reconciliation on Thursday night as mutual friends tried to patch things up after Musk ratcheted up his attacks on the President, linking Trump to the pedophile Epstein. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' he posted on X. Trump ignored the charge but he responded to the broader issue of their falling out, saying he had asked Musk to leave the White House because he was 'wearing thin,' and he (Musk) went "crazy" because the administration took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that "nobody else wanted." Things went further south when the President posted, "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' That triggered Musk to warn that he would decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, critical for NASA's International Space Station operations, a threat he later retracted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Amid the heated, real-time exchanges on social media, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman got in a word edgewise, asking the warring duo to reunite "for the benefit of our great country." Musk responded, "You're not wrong," and reportedly sought a Trump phone call, which the President rejected on Friday, characterizing Musk as the "man who has lost his mind." Officials though warned the President could change his mind. Chances of a truce appeared to have been derailed by Musk himself after he mused about the President's political mortality in the hours before, telling social media gadabout Laura Loomer that "Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…" This came after he tried to talk up JD Vance for the Oval Office following a Trump impeachment proposed by some critics. But the US vice-president smacked down the idea, saying, "President Trump has done more than any person in my lifetime to earn the trust of the movement he leads. I'm proud to stand beside him." Several GOP lawmakers rallied around Trump saying Musk had "gone too far" in the feud. Musk also posted a poll on X asking, "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?" There were more than 5 million responses, with more than 80 percent saying "yes." A variety of other characters waded into the drama, offering millions of political junkies a constant high. While Ackman and other billionaires and tech bros sought to keep a lid on the explosion, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and other MAGA hardliners, who see Musk as an interloper, poured gasoline on the fumes, demanding Trump seize's Musk's SpaceX invoking national security provisions and deport Musk, although the South Africa born Tesla boss is now a US citizen. A current Trump advisor Peter Navarro, among many in the President's inner circle happy with the departure of the man some called a "co-President," said Musk was just 'a special government employee with an expiration date.' Russia too stepped into the American swamp, offering Musk political asylum if his feud with Trump went further south. Some of the feuding bordered on the petulant, with several media outlets reporting that Trump now plans to sell the red Tesla S that he bought with great fanfare after celebrating Musk and his cars on the White House lawns just a few weeks ago. The banner headline in the NewYork Post said it all: I HATE MY X.

Surat DEO issues notices to schools for fee relief to children of diamond polishers
The Surat District Education Office (DEO) on Thursday issued notifications to all schools where children of diamond polishers study and shared a School Fees Special Assistance Application form along with a checklist of relevant documents for students and parents who are eligible for a fee relief. The state government has announced a special assistance package for people from the diamond industry, considering the recession over the last three years. Children of diamond polishers, who have been unemployed after March 2024 and are aged above 21 and have worked for at least three years at a diamond firm, will be eligible for this scheme. Surat district Education Officer Bhagirathsinh Parmar issued the notification after receiving the format from the state government. According to the format, the benefits of the scheme can be availed only for the 2025-26 session, the maximum amount of relief being Rs 13,500 per student. Diamond polisher parents should fill the School Fees Special Assistance Application form and submit it, along with necessary documents, including Aadhaar cards of both the applicant and the student, a passport-size photo of the parent, to the school between June 9 and July 23. The applicant should obtain a certificate of unemployment for a period of one year and a certificate of work experience for the previous three years from the District Employment Office, the District Industries Centre, or a request letter or certificate issued by the Surat Diamond Association. The school authorities would then submit the documents to the District Industries Centre in three phases — on June 30, July 7, and July 24. The school authorities should also attach a forwarding letter, along with a list of students, a cancelled cheque from the school, and fees in accordance with the Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC). DEO Parmar said, 'We have issued the notification to all primary, secondary and higher secondary grant-in-aid, self-finance and government schools in the city. Diamond polishers mainly reside in Varachha, Kapodara, Punagam, Katargam, Sarthana, etc. Non-Gujarati polishers who match all the eligibility criteria can also fill such forms. We have strictly instructed all schools to complete the process with the given time frame. We are coordinating with the Surat Diamond Association, the Surat District Employment Office, and the District Industries Centre, and will make sure that diamond polishers should not face any problem in obtaining the necessary documents. If they do, they should contact us or any of these three offices, and their issue will be resolved.'

Amid job loss fears due to automation, a shocking new report reveals how AI is actually making workers ‘more valuable'
As anxiety mounts over artificial intelligence (AI) threatening jobs and wages, a groundbreaking new study by professional services giant PwC turns the narrative on its head. Contrary to fears that AI will lead to widespread layoffs and wage suppression, the research shows that AI is making workers more valuable — boosting both employment and pay across industries. The Speed of AI Innovation: A Double-Edged Sword? Joe Atkinson, PwC's Global Chief AI Officer, emphasizes the unprecedented pace of AI advancements. Speaking to CNBC Make It , Atkinson noted, 'The tech innovation is moving really, really fast — faster than anything we've ever seen.' Yet, instead of causing disruption through job losses, AI is creating new roles and opportunities. 'What the report suggests, actually, is AI is creating jobs,' he said. Jobs and Wages Climb in AI-Exposed Occupations The 2025 AI Jobs Barometer report, analyzing over 800 million job ads worldwide, reveals a surprising trend: jobs and wages are growing in nearly every role where AI can be applied. This includes occupations considered highly automatable, such as customer service and software development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Gel Makes Mold Disappear Like Magic CleanLix Learn More Undo Carol Stubbings, PwC UK's Global Chief Commercial Officer, highlights a crucial challenge — not the loss of jobs but the evolving skillsets required. 'Workers need to be prepared to take the new jobs that AI is creating,' she said. The report warns against complacency, urging workforce adaptation as the key to thriving alongside AI. — KirkDBorne (@KirkDBorne) Busting the Biggest AI Myths PwC's extensive research debunks six common misconceptions about AI's impact on the labor market. Far from stagnating productivity, industries most exposed to AI have seen productivity growth nearly quadruple since 2022. Contrary to fears of wage suppression, workers with AI skills earn on average 56% more than their peers without those skills—a significant rise from 25% last year.

Occupations less exposed to AI grew by 65% from 2019 to 2024, while AI-exposed jobs still posted a robust 38% growth. Furthermore, the report finds AI does not worsen inequality; wages and job opportunities are rising in AI-augmented and automatable roles, with employer demand for formal degrees decreasing in these sectors—potentially widening access. AI as a Job Enricher, Not a Job Killer Another surprise: AI is enriching jobs traditionally seen as vulnerable to automation. By automating mundane tasks, AI frees workers to develop more complex, creative skills. Data entry clerks, for example, are evolving into data analysts, increasing their value in the workplace. The report also shows that even jobs highly susceptible to automation are becoming more complex and creative, ultimately enhancing human worth rather than devaluing it. Could Gentler Job Growth Be a Hidden Blessing? With many countries facing declining working-age populations, the study suggests that moderated job growth in AI-affected fields might be beneficial. AI-driven productivity gains create a multiplier effect, filling workforce gaps and enabling companies to grow more efficiently.

Turing Award-winning professor Yoshua Bengio sounds the alarm Atkinson concludes, 'It's a prediction supported by the productivity data we're seeing… It could absolutely and will be a good thing.' AI: From Efficiency Tool to Growth Strategy The report urges companies to rethink AI as more than a cost-cutting tool. Instead, AI should be embraced as a powerful growth engine. Businesses are encouraged to help employees adapt, innovate, and collaborate to create new markets and revenue streams. 'It is critical to avoid the trap of low ambition. Instead of limiting our focus to automating yesterday's jobs, let's create the new jobs and industries of the future,' the report advocates. Historically, technology has been a wellspring of new jobs — with two-thirds of today's U.S. jobs nonexistent in 1940. PwC's research suggests AI could ignite a similar wave of innovation, reshaping the workforce for decades to come.
