Elon Musk reveals why he doesn't like cryptos except Dogecoin
's
SpaceX
is believed to have 6,900 Bitcoins worth $810 million but the tech billionaire says he doesn't like crypto currency.
A video has surfaced on Twitter (now X), ironically owned by Musk himself, in which Musk says that he won't promote cyrptos, the execption being the Dogecoin. Hillariously, Musk says he is promoting
Dogecoin
because he likes dogs and
memes

"I'm not going to be promoting crypto, at most, in a joking way. If you see me pumping crypto, it's not me. I do think there's merit in
Bitcoin
. I've sort of got a soft spot for Dogecoin because I like dogs and memes," he could be heard saying in the video put out by @cb_doge.

Musk's remarks come at a time when Dogecoin is showing signs of a potential price breakout. The coin, trading around $0.234, has seen renewed momentum in recent weeks and is projected to surge by as much as 80% in the coming two months.
The optimism stems from a bullish chart pattern called the "double bottom," a technical formation that suggests a possible trend reversal after a sustained downtrend. According to popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts), if this pattern plays out, Dogecoin could rally toward
$0.42 by September

Musk has played a pivotal role in Dogecoin's rise from meme to mainstream. Often calling it the 'people's crypto,' he has floated the idea of integrating DOGE into his businesses—including X (formerly Twitter) and even Tesla's payment system. Although he hasn't commented on the latest price rally, past evidence shows that even a casual mention from Musk can send the token's value soaring.
Dogecoin vs Bitcoin: A Meme With Momentum?
Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a satirical take on Bitcoin, has evolved far beyond its joke origins. While Bitcoin remains the gold standard for institutional investment and corporate treasury holdings, Dogecoin is slowly gaining acceptance in the business world.
One notable example is Bit Origin (Nasdaq: BTOG), which has reportedly added DOGE to its corporate treasury—highlighting growing confidence in meme-based assets.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin recently hit an all-time high of
$123,091.61
, reinforcing bullish sentiment across the
crypto market
and lifting altcoins like Dogecoin in its wake.

Elon Musk's Neuralink lets paralysed woman write her name after 20 years using only her mind
Earlier this month, Neuralink, the brain–computer interface (BCI) company founded by Elon Musk, announced that it had successfully completed two implant surgeries in a single day for the first time. The company shared that both procedures were carried out on the same day and that the patients are now recovering. 'We successfully completed both P8 and P9 this weekend, our first time performing two surgeries in one day,' the company wrote in its post on X (formerly Twitter). Following up on this announcement, one of the recipients of the Neuralink implant has now shared that she is able to write her name and play games on a computer for the first time in 20 of the recipients of the Neualink implant, Audrey Crews, who has identified herself as 'P9', is now sharing her progress publicly. 'I would like to announce that I am P9. I am the first woman in the world with a Neuralink BCI. I can't wait for the world to meet me and follow me on my journey,' she wrote on revealed that she has been paralysed for 20 years and underwent the surgery in the hope of regaining some abilities. Now after the surgery, she reveals that she is now able to write her name for the first time since her injury. 'I tried writing my name for the first time in 20 years. I'm working on it,' she posted. In a follow-up post, Crews revealed that she underwent brain surgery to receive the Neuralink implant at the University of Miami Health Centre. The procedure involved drilling a small hole in her skull and meticulously placing 128 threads into her motor cortex. Notably, doctors use robotic assistance during the procedure to ensure greater precision. The chip itself is roughly the size of a 10p then shared that the surgery had been a success and that everything was progressing 'amazingly'. 'The BCI lets me control my computer using my mind. I'll be able to control more electronic devices in the near future. I also want to clarify that this implant will not allow me to walk again or regain movement. It's strictly for telepathy only,' she Musk, also shared Crews' story and commented on X: 'She is controlling her computer just by thinking. Most people don't realise this is possible.' But how exactly does the Neuralink implant work?Founded in 2016, Neuralink is developing implantable brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). At the core of the system is a small device, referred to as 'The Link' or the 'N1 Implant', which is surgically placed in the skull. From this implant, thin, flexible threads are positioned into specific regions of the brain, particularly the motor cortex, which is involved in movement threads contain electrodes designed to detect and record the electrical signals generated by neurons. When an individual thinks of an action – in Crews' case, what she describes as 'telepathy' – their neurons produce specific electrical patterns. The Neuralink implant captures these neural signals and transmits them wirelessly to an external device, such as a on the external device then interpret these brain signals, converting them into commands that can operate digital interfaces. In Audrey Crews' case, her thoughts are translated into actions on a computer screen, allowing her to manipulate a cursor, type, or interact with software without any physical has previously shared that the primary aim of Neuralink at this stage is to provide individuals with severe paralysis or neurological conditions a way to interact with digital devices purely by thought. Crews herself has been posting regular updates on her recovery, showing how she is able to do things like play games, write her name and even draw on a computer screen – all simply by thinking.- Ends

Donald Trump's DOGE AI tool aims to wipe out half of US federal regulations, says report
The US government under Donald Trump is reportedly using an artificial intelligence tool to identify and scrap nearly half of all federal regulations. A new report by The Washington Post reveals that the AI system, known as the DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool, is part of a larger plan to cut down thousands of rules by the first anniversary of Trump's return to tool is being operated by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and has been trained to review over 200,000 federal rules. Based on early estimates, around 100,000 of these regulations may be marked for removal. The AI tool has already been used at agencies like the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), where it reportedly reviewed and suggested deletions for more than 1,000 regulatory sections within two weeks. At the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), it is said to have been responsible for writing all of the agency's recent officials told The Post that the AI system was created by engineers brought into the administration during Elon Musk's involvement in DOGE. While some agencies have embraced the tool, others remain cautious about depending on an AI model to review sensitive and often complex federal rules. According to a presentation reviewed by The Post, the tool is being positioned as a solution to save both time and money. The Trump administration believes this AI-driven approach could reduce the federal budget, cut red tape, and attract more investment by easing compliance burdens for broader deregulation agenda is not new. In January, he signed an executive order aimed at fast-tracking deregulation efforts, asking agencies to repeal 10 rules for every new one. Since then, departments like Transportation and Labor have publicly announced large-scale cuts to existing rules and regulatory legal experts warn that the process may not be as straightforward. Scrapping a federal rule often requires going through detailed procedures under administrative law. There are also concerns that using AI to make such decisions could lead to mistakes or House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in a statement that the administration is still exploring all options and that nothing has been finalized. But he praised the DOGE team for bringing new ideas into government the tool's full impact remains to be seen, it has already created tension within the federal workforce. Some staff members worry that relying on AI for complex legal decisions may lead to unintended consequences. Others point out that ongoing staff cuts within agencies are slowing down the overall deregulation push, even as pressure builds from the White House to deliver faster results.- Ends

Musk says Samsung will produce Tesla's AI6 chip at US plant
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has said Samsung Electronics will manufacture the US electric vehicle maker's next-generation AI6 chip at its semiconductor plant in the state of Texas. Musk made the announcement on Sunday (U.S. time) on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, "The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate." He added that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which has just completed its design phase, will initially produce the AI5 chip in Taiwan, reports Yonhap news agency. Musk also said Samsung, which currently manufactures the AI4 chip, has agreed to allow Tesla to collaborate in efforts to maximise manufacturing efficiency. Tesla's AI6 chip is designed to be scalable -- small enough for use in humanoid robots and self-driving cars but powerful enough for artificial intelligence (AI) data centre. Samsung Electronics said on Monday it has secured a 22.8 trillion-won (US$16.4 billion) order to supply semiconductors to a major undisclosed customer. In a regulatory filing, the South Korean tech giant said it signed a foundry contract set to be completed by December 31, 2033. The contract accounts for 7.6 percent of the company's total revenue of 300.9 trillion won last year and marks the largest chip order ever won by Samsung Electronics. The deal is expected to give a much-needed boost to its foundry division, which has long struggled to catch up with global industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). In its earnings guideline released earlier this month, Samsung Electronics estimated an operating profit of 4.59 trillion won and sales of 74 trillion won for the second quarter. In particular, operating profit failed to meet market expectations, mainly due to the sluggish performance of the foundry and the System Large Scale Integration (LSI) divisions, according to the report.
