Musk vs Trump: Elon Musk fan Ian Miles Cheon asks him to move space program to UAE
Image generated by AI for creative and illustrative purposes only There's always one tweet that distills geopolitical fantasy into 280 characters. This time, it came from Elon Musk loyalist Ian Miles Cheong: 'Elon Musk should simply move his entire SpaceX operation to the United Arab Emirates. The UAE stands at the forefront of technological progress and mankind's ascent to the stars.' The idea sounds far-fetched. But it also speaks to something very real: the UAE's growing ambition to become a serious player in the global space race, just as Musk finds himself increasingly disillusioned with Washington, and estranged from his on-again-off-again political ally, Donald Trump. A Rift at the Edge of Orbit The Musk–Trump relationship, once a spectacle of anti-establishment synergy, has hit turbulence. Musk, long the poster boy for public-private innovation, turned sharply against Trump's latest bloated federal spending bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump, ever retaliatory, suggested the US could save 'billions' by cutting off Musk's federal contracts. In MAGA-speak, that's a declaration of war. As Tesla and X stocks tanked, erasing over $150 billion in market value, Musk threatened to decommission the Dragon capsule, the spacecraft that connects Earth to the International Space Station. That post came just minutes after Trump floated cancelling SpaceX subsidies. For a brief moment, the world's most influential entrepreneur looked ready to break orbit, not just from Earth, but from America. That's when the UAE entered the chat. A Desert with Dreams of the Stars While the Musk-Trump bromance combusts on X, the United Arab Emirates has been quietly, and not so quietly, building the infrastructure of a spacefaring nation. The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) in Dubai is now home to a replica Falcon 9 booster, a symbolic tribute to Musk's engineering triumph. In 2020, the UAE launched its Hope probe to Mars, making it the first Arab nation to embark on an interplanetary mission. It reached Martian orbit in 2021. Unlike many space programs that began with Cold War posturing, the UAE's ambitions are rooted in a long-term economic and technological vision. Its Mars 2117 project imagines a human settlement on the Red Planet within a century. The country has invested heavily in satellite tech, astronaut training (two UAE astronauts have now flown to space), and international partnerships with NASA , Roscosmos, and JAXA. And most crucially, it has money. Oil money. Sovereign wealth fund money. The kind of money that could theoretically bankroll a massive SpaceX relocation, if only US export laws allowed it. Reality Check: Can Musk Really Move? While the fantasy of a SpaceX launch site in Abu Dhabi sparks excitement, it hits a hard wall named ITAR, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Aerospace technology like Falcon rockets and Dragon capsules is tightly controlled by the US government, especially because of SpaceX's work with NASA and the Pentagon. Relocating operations overseas would require navigating a minefield of national security laws, intellectual property battles, and contract obligations. Then there's the infrastructure: SpaceX's launch pads in Florida and Texas, its Starlink deployment network, and its deep entanglement with the US military-industrial complex. Even for someone as unpredictable as Musk, uprooting an entire space ecosystem is more fever dream than flight plan. But what is serious, and worth watching, is how quickly the idea caught fire. Because when powerful partnerships fall apart, when the emperor of disruption turns on the emperor of MAGA, imagination fills the vacuum. And the UAE, with its deep pockets and deeper ambitions, is perfectly poised to be the world's favourite hypothetical. A Marriage of Convenience, Deorbited The collapse of the Musk-Trump dynamic is more than just a tech billionaire breaking up with a former President. It symbolises the end of a political alliance that once seemed like the future of American populism. Musk was the brains, Trump the brawn. Their combined disdain for bureaucracy made them the heroes of a Silicon Valley–meets–Talk Radio voter base. But now? Trump accuses Musk of 'losing it' after his subsidies began to vanish. Musk retaliates by quoting House Republicans and teasing a centrist third party. Their shared fantasy of dismantling the 'deep state' has devolved into petty poll wars and social media jabs. And in that vacuum, the UAE has emerged, not as a saviour, but as a symbol of what a forward-looking, well-funded, and ideologically agnostic space agenda might look like. Between Hope and Hype The truth is, Elon Musk isn't moving to the Emirates anytime soon. But the fact that people think he could is a testament to what the UAE has managed to build, credibility. In the span of two decades, it has gone from oil-rich sandbox to serious contender in the celestial stakes. Its universities are training aerospace engineers. Its astronauts are flying with NASA. Its space centre has a waiting list for international collaborations. So, while the Dragon capsule remains on US soil, the battle for the future of space may not be limited to the US, Russia, and China anymore. The UAE is still in the early innings, but it's playing to win. And as for Musk and Trump? Their Cold War is far from over. But in the echoes of that fallout, a new contender has quietly entered the arena, bathed in desert light, aiming for the stars.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Not Selling Well? Here's What Reports Have Said
Last Updated: Samsung has taken a bold step with the Galaxy S25 Edge version and it seems the company is slowly finding if people are warming up to the new product. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch brought some concerns about its thin design affecting its demand and need in the market. And it seems the new model is struggling to find buyers since its debut last month. Reports this week have talked about Samsung finding the Galaxy S25 Edge sale figures lower than its expectations that have already put some question marks over its future prospects. The report here quoting industry sources claims that Samsung has not managed to gather a large crowd for its bold device and could become an ambitious experiment that eventually fails in the market. The Galaxy S25 Edge Conundrum Most people were concerned about the need for the Galaxy S25 Edge version especially with its thin and lightweight design. Granted, the phone has the durability to help you feel confident about its usage but the price tag and some of its limitations because of the size were also going to be questioned. The company usually shares sales figures for new launches that shows its excitement around the product. Samsung has not done that for the Galaxy S25 Edge in its home market or other regions, which tells you something is amiss. We'll probably get a clearer idea in the next few months but early signs are not encouraging to say the least. It seems people are finding the same reasons to look beyond the S25 Edge model, and probably waiting to see what Apple has in store with the rumoured iPhone 17 Air version later this year. Samsung should ideally continue with the Edge moniker for a few years, and maybe reduce its SKUs by replacing the Plus with the Edge variant and see if a newer pricing strategy gathers more buyers. We still find it early to judge a product that only made its way in May 2025. It is also possible that a unique form factor like the S25 Edge needs a different marketing push from the brand and maybe get the device into the hands of the consumers to at least let them experience it in person. Our time with the S25 Edge was surprisingly pleasant thanks to the premium design and flagship cameras. Yes, the battery life is a concern because of its dimensions but the novelty value of the product is hard to deny. First Published: June 05, 2025, 13:26 IST

Google's 'Find My Device' officially becomes 'Find Hub' across platforms
Google has officially rebranded its Find My Device service to Find Hub, completing a platform-wide rollout that began at the Android Show I/O Edition in May. The updated name is now visible not only on the Play Store, but also across the Settings app in Android devices and on the web platform. According to reports, the rebranding appears with Play services version 25.20.37, replacing all instances of "Find My Device" with "Find Hub". The option to activate the service, previously listed under Security & Privacy, is also now labelled as Find Hub. While Business Standard could not independently verify the update at the time of writing, the broader rollout is in motion. As part of this update, Google has also made privacy-related UI changes. User account details, including name and email previously linked to account settings, are now hidden by default. Google Find Hub: What's new At the Android Show, Google outlined new features for Find Hub, including: Ultra-wideband (UWB) support, enabling more precise location tracking. Initially, this will support Motorola's Moto Tags. Satellite connectivity for offline tracking, expected to arrive later in 2025. Two-tab design: One tab for locating personal devices and another for tracking or sharing real-time location with friends and family. Flexible sharing: Users can share location either temporarily or indefinitely. Expanded partnerships for smart tracking To boost travel-related features, Google has partnered with: These collaborations will allow users to track luggage in real-time and share tracking info with airline partners to aid recovery. Apple's Find My network already integrates with over a dozen airlines, including Air India—Google is likely moving in a similar direction.
