Elon Musk Net Worth Today: Elon Musk has added another feather to his prestigious cap after reaching a historic wealth milestone as SpaceX acquired his artificial intelligence and social media venture, xAI. The tech billionaire announced that SpaceX and xAI are being combined in a massive deal valuing the merged entity at a staggering $1.25 trillion.  The move comes as Musk sharpens his focus on artificial intelligence and space exploration, marking a significant shift within his corporate empire. What’s more surprising is the valuation behind the deal. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter, SpaceX has been valued at $1 trillion, while xAI stands at $250 billion.  Why Elon Musk’s SpaceX Acquires xAI  Add Zee News as a Preferred Source Billionaire Elon Musk said SpaceX is acquiring xAI to build data centres in space, calling it a way to escape Earth’s limitations and overcome infrastructure constraints that restrict the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.  This marks the second major merger involving Elon Musk’s companies in under a year. In March last year, he merged xAI with social media platform X, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, close to what he paid for Twitter in 2022, excluding debt.

After the merger, his stake in the combined entity rose to 43 per cent, worth around $542 billion. SpaceX has now become his largest holding by a wide margin, reports said. Musk also holds about 12 per cent of Tesla, valued at roughly $178 billion, along with Tesla stock options estimated at $124 billion. Adding further, Musk is eligible for a shareholder-approved Tesla pay package that could grant up to $1 trillion in additional Tesla stock over the next decade, before taxes, if performance targets are met and restricted shares are unlocked.  Elon Musk Net Worth  Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become the first person on the earth to cross a net worth of $800 billion (Rs 72,00,00,00,00,000) following the landmark merger of SpaceX and his artificial intelligence company, xAI. The deal boosted his personal wealth by $84 billion, taking his fortune to a staggering $852 billion. Elon Musk is now around $578 billion richer than the world’s second-wealthiest person, Larry Page, whose net worth stands at an estimated $281 billion. At this pace, Musk appears to be moving steadily toward another historic milestone: becoming the world’s first trillionaire. (Also Read: Apple CarPlay could arrive in Elon Musk-owned Tesla with its own infotainment interface: Features, limitations, and wireless connectivity) Over the past four months, Musk has crossed multiple wealth milestones, including $500 billion, $600 billion and $700 billion. This rapid rise was driven by higher valuations at SpaceX and a Delaware Supreme Court ruling that restored his Tesla stock options.

Google Gemini Import AI Chats: Google is testing a new “Import AI chats” feature for Gemini to make switching from other chatbots, such as ChatGPT, seamless. The much-anticipated feature will allow users to transfer their entire chat history to Gemini, ensuring that ongoing projects, context, and preferences are not lost during the transition. According to a report by TestingCatalog, Gemini users will be able to import chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, and other platforms.  The feature is designed to help users move easily from competing chatbot services to Google’s AI assistant. It also helps reduce ecosystem lock-in, which Google reportedly does not want to become a barrier to Gemini’s adoption. At the same time, Google continues to add new capabilities to Gemini as part of its broader effort to attract more users. The company is currently testing three new features, with chat import being one of them. (Also Read: India’s Slimmest Smartphone: iQOO 15R to come with 7,600mAh battery, Q2 gaming chip; Check display, chipset, camera, and price) The report also notes another upcoming option in Gemini’s settings called “Likeness.” At present, it redirects users to a Video Verification page. This could indicate the early development of tools aimed at authenticating or analysing video content, possibly to address growing concerns around AI-generated media. Since the feature is still in an early stage, its final purpose may change before public release. Add Zee News as a Preferred Source Meanwhile, image generation in Gemini is also set to improve. The updated interface is expected to support downloads in 2K and 4K resolution, with the highest-quality option labelled “best for print.” (Also Read: What to do if your smartphone is stolen in India: Do THESE 5 immediate things to protect your money and data) How to import chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot  Step 1: Open the Gemini chat and tap the attachments icon at the bottom of the chat box.

Smartphone Stolen What To Do In India: Losing your smartphone can feel like the end of the world. All your contacts, photos, messages, and important apps suddenly become out of reach, and the fear of someone misusing your data sets in immediately. Today, a smartphone is not just for making calls; it has become the key to your entire digital world and bank vault, giving access to Aadhaar, PAN card, UPI accounts, and banking apps.  When a smartphone gets stolen, the biggest risk is to your UPI PIN, Aadhaar data, and sensitive apps. Panic will not help, but taking the right steps quickly can protect your information and prevent trouble. In this guide, we share five crucial actions you should take immediately after your phone is stolen to ensure your data stays safe and secure.  Block your SIM without delay Add Zee News as a Preferred Source The first step after your phone is stolen is to block your SIM without delay. Contact the customer care of your mobile operator, such as Jio, Airtel, Vi, or BSNL, and request that your SIM be suspended. Once the SIM is deactivated, all calls, messages, and OTPs sent to that number will stop, significantly reducing the risk of online fraud or banking scams.  Block UPI and Wallets apps immediately After your smartphone is stolen, it is crucial to block your banking, UPI, and wallet apps immediately. Contact your bank without delay and request a temporary suspension of mobile banking and UPI services. Even if your phone is locked, these apps can sometimes be misused, so taking swift action to disable them is essential to prevent potential fraud. (Also Read: Apple CarPlay could arrive in Elon Musk-owned Tesla with its own infotainment interface: Features, limitations, and wireless connectivity) Protect your data using Find My iPhone or Find My Device  The second crucial step after your phone is stolen is to lock it or erase its data. iPhone users can use the Find My iPhone feature, while Android users can rely on Find My Device. These tools allow you to lock your phone, display a message on the screen, and track its location. This ensures that your photos, emails, and saved passwords remain safe and protected.  Change your passwords immediately Within 15 minutes of your phone being stolen, make sure to update your passwords. Begin with your email account from another device, then move on to your banking and UPI apps, followed by online shopping apps and social media accounts. Promptly changing passwords helps protect your digital data and prevents unauthorized access.

You can register a complaint at your nearest police station or use online portals to report the lost or stolen phone. Filing an FIR helps you track or block your phone and also simplifies insurance claims. 

Tesla Apple CarPlay Support: CarPlay Ultra promises a major upgrade to in-car infotainment by offering much deeper integration with a vehicle’s core systems. Apple officially launched CarPlay Ultra last year, but it is currently limited to Aston Martin vehicles. Now, reports suggest that Elon Musk-owned Tesla is working on adding CarPlay support, which marks a significant shift from the company’s earlier stance.  CarPlay Ultra is the next-generation version of Apple’s in-car platform that was first showcased at WWDC 2022, featuring a redesigned interface and tighter integration with the car itself. According to a Bloomberg report, Tesla will integrate CarPlay with its own infotainment interface. This means the two platforms will coexist, rather than CarPlay completely taking over as it does in some cars. However, Apple’s CarPlay will not integrate with features like Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Adding further, Tesla plans to support wireless CarPlay, so you won’t need to plug in your iPhone. The system will connect automatically as soon as you get into the car. Add Zee News as a Preferred Source Tesla keeps control, CarPlay adds convenience  For Tesla, this hybrid approach feels like a natural next step. After years of refining one of the most advanced in-car software systems in the industry, the company is not giving that up. Instead, it blends the best of both worlds. Drivers can continue relying on Tesla’s interface for essentials like charging, driver assistance, and climate control, while CarPlay quietly takes care of Apple Maps, music, and everyday apps in the background. However, Tesla does offer native apps for Apple Music and Apple Podcasts, it lacks the breadth of apps available via CarPlay.   Hyundai IONIQ 3 EV to get Apple CarPlay Ultra  This is not the first time CarPlay Ultra has been linked to a Hyundai vehicle. Last year, Top Gear reported that Hyundai’s upcoming IONIQ 3 EV will support the platform. The IONIQ 3 EV is expected to be officially unveiled in April, with a market launch planned for later this year.

iPhone Air 2 India Launch Date: In September 2025, Apple made a big move by launching its first ultra-slim iPhone Air. While the standard iPhone 17 and Pro models drove record iPhone sales, the Air didn’t get much attention. Now, Apple is reportedly planning a major upgrade with the iPhone Air 2.

Supreme Court on WhatsApp, Meta privacy policy: The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a strong warning to WhatsApp and its parent company, Meta, over concerns related to user data sharing. The apex court made it clear that citizens’ right to privacy cannot be compromised in the name of technology or business interests.  A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, along with Justice Joymalya Bagchi, strongly reprimanded the US-based company, saying, “You cannot play with privacy… we will not allow you to share even a single digit of our data.” The court added that it would not tolerate the exploitation of Indian users. The hearing was related to WhatsApp’s 2021 “take it or leave it” privacy policy and the company law tribunal’s decision to uphold the Competition Commission of India’s Rs 213 crore fine on the company. Meta has also challenged the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s November 4 ruling, which largely upheld the Competition Commission of India’s findings and the penalty, but removed a key restriction. Add Zee News as a Preferred Source The court also directed Meta to file an affidavit clearly stating that it will not share WhatsApp user data for advertising purposes. It warned that failure to do so could lead to the dismissal of Meta’s case. However, there was also a cross-appeal by the CCI about sharing of user data for advertising purposes, which the tribunal allowed after ruling there was no ‘abuse of power’ by the company.  Adding further, the Supreme Court on Tuesday described the practice as a “mockery of constitutionalism” and questioned how user consent could be considered valid when acceptance of the policy was enforced on a “take it or leave it” basis. Justice Joymalya Bagchi said the issue against the companies was that the consent obtained was “manufactured consent.” Now, the court gave Meta and WhatsApp time to file a detailed response and scheduled the case for next Monday (February 9). WhatsApp–Meta privacy policy case In November 2024, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) ruled that WhatsApp had abused its dominant position with its 2021 privacy policy update. The regulator said the company was effectively forcing users to accept the new terms to continue using the app. The CCI specifically objected to WhatsApp requiring users to share data with other Meta platforms. As a result, it imposed a Rs 213 crore fine, which senior lawyers Mukul Rohatgi and Kapil Sibal informed the court had already been paid. In January 2025, Meta and WhatsApp challenged the CCI’s decision. By November 2025, the company law tribunal lifted the five-year restriction on WhatsApp sharing user data, while keeping the fine intact.
