Elon Musk to Relaunch Vine with AI: Short Video App Returns After 9 Years
He made the announcement in a post on X but did not share more details. The company has also not responded to requests from the media.
Since buying Twitter in 2022, Musk has talked several times about reviving Vine. He even ran polls asking users if they wanted it back.
Vine was launched in 2013 and allowed users to post short, six-second videos. It quickly became popular with content creators and gained millions of followers. In 2016, Twitter officially shut it down.
Now, with the rise of AI tools, short-form video content is easier and cheaper to create. Experts believe that Vine's short video format could be a good match for AI-generated content.

Satcom spectrum allocation rules likely to be in place within two months
New Delhi: Rules for the allocation of spectrum for satellite communications services are likely to be in place within two months, a government official said on Monday. The spectrum allocation rules are the last lap that will enable Elon Musk-led Starlink , Bharti Group-backed Eutelsat Oneweb and Jio SES to apply for the radiowaves and start rolling out their services. "Spectrum allocation rules are likely to be fixed in two months. After that, it will be at the discretion of satcom services when they want to roll out their services," the official said. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has recommended that the government should allocate spectrum without auction and through an administrative process-- a move that has seen huge resistance from telecom operators Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel initially. The regulator has suggested that spectrum for satcom services can be for a period of up to five years and considering the market conditions, the government may extend it for a further period of up to two years. Trai has suggested that spectrum charges for both GSO-based and Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) Fixed Satellite Services should be levied at 4 per cent of adjusted gross revenue (AGR). OneWeb and Starlink fall into the LEO (low earth orbit) category which are considered to be Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellites. Besides, NGSO-based Fixed Satellite service providers should also pay an additional per subscriber charge of ₹500 per annum in urban areas while exempting the rural and remote areas from this additional charge. While allaying the threat to land-based telecom networks from satcom services, Union Minister Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar said that Musk-led satellite communication services provider Starlink can have only 20 lakh connections in India with a peak speed of 200 megabits per second. A government official mentioned that the limit on Starlink connections is due to its existing capacity. The minister said that the upfront cost for satcom services will be too high and the monthly cost may be around ₹3,000. PTI

Zerodha's next growth challenge: Why are Tier 2 and 3 investors swiping left on Zerodha? asks Nithin Kamath
No ads, no incentives, by design Live Events Nithin Kamath's open question Feedback floods in (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Zerodha's Nithin Kamath has never shied away from straight talk. This week, he laid out a rare self-assessment of his company's recent growth, or the lack of it, in public. In a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), Kamath shared that while Zerodha continues to manage increasing volumes of investor wealth, the number of new accounts being opened on the platform has dropped.'Our AUM share is growing (people with more money trust us), but our demat share is shrinking (fewer new accounts),' Kamath acknowledged that the decline is likely linked to younger investors and users from tier 2 and tier 3 cities choosing other platforms. 'The people with money are sticking with us, but many others aren't opening accounts with us. Most likely, the newer and younger, and people from tier 2 and 3 towns, are probably investing elsewhere,' he has long positioned itself apart from the crowd. It does not run advertisements. It does not offer cashbacks or signup offers. That's not by accident. Kamath was clear: 'We won't advertise. We won't offer account-opening incentives.'The company has grown into one of the largest brokerages in India largely through word of mouth and content. But Kamath admitted that approach might not be enough anymore. Or at least, not in its current form.'So, how do you grow when you can't play the traditional acquisition game?' he asked. 'The obvious answer may be 'content,' and we have significantly improved on it, but it's hard to measure the impact.'Rather than offering a quick fix, Kamath used his post to start a conversation. He posed a direct question to founders and marketers: 'Can brands still rely on the same tactics and strategies that worked in the past, or do changing times demand new strategies?'He also asked, 'If you were in our shoes, what would you do?'That one post triggered a wave of responses, both critical and user pointed out what they saw as a gap in Zerodha's outreach. 'I've not done massive research into this but most of your content with Zerodha and its initiatives that I see are English. They are premium. Maybe it's time to invest in creators/channels that people want to hear in their language.'Another raised a concern about discoverability: 'Advertising is awareness as well. If it's the newer/younger gen from tier 2/3 that's not coming to Z I think it's because their mindspace is already taken up by someone else. Maybe they don't even know you exist and why are you better?'A different voice praised the long-term approach: 'You've scaled without content (except Varsity) and still done well because you stayed true to your principles. I think continuous product improvement and the initiatives (maybe a bit more in Hindi also) can help. And it's okay to not have all the customers.'Some praised Kamath directly for his transparency. One comment read: 'Wow. This is the reason why a lot of people admire you. Sticking to the core values while managing the business is very tough in this competitive world.'Zerodha has always taken a different route. Unlike many of its rivals in the broking space, it has avoided burn-driven growth, stayed profitable, and invested early in financial education through platforms like the broking business is changing. Younger users today are less likely to follow traditional finance brands, and more likely to be swayed by influencers, regional creators, and aggressive digital post suggests that he knows this shift is happening. The question now is whether sticking to Zerodha's core principles can carry it through the next wave of growth, or if the company will need to evolve its playbook while still keeping its identity way, the conversation he started is one that many in India's startup and fintech circles are watching closely.
