    No mention of the gullible 'investors' that surely must take a chunk of the responsibility.

    Musk and X defeat Twitter severance lawsuit

    X, formerly known as Twitter, is now conducting its accounting transactions in ZAR, a source close to the company revealed. A request for a comment was sent to X, but none was received at the time of publishing.

    Takealot says e-commerce sector needs improved protection from international businesses

    No one can compete with the Chinese. In the days when SA was largely cut off from global shopping we were screwed left right and centre. It's only going to get worse.

    Shein says its secret to keeping prices low is to reduce waste

    Machinery, raw materials or fully manufactured product, everyone buys from China, everyone.

    Tax hikes on sub-R500 Temu and Shein clothing orders

    Can't tax your way to competitiveness.

    BYD unveils new hybrid powertrain with 2,000km+ range

    Nonsense! ICE cars are 60 times more likely to catch fire than battery powered. You only know about BYD and Tesla fires because that's what the media feeds you.

    South Africa wants to confront online retailers allegedly exploiting tariff loopholes

    Looks like Takelot doesn't like competition. Their merchant fees are too high and too many layers of middlemen between the manufacturer and consumer. It's darn near impossible to compete with the Chinese.

    Tesla's largest-ever staff cuts include two top execs

    Well, 18 years service and now a multi millionaire, I suppose his departure is overdue. A "refresh" of new talent is in order.

    xAI valued at R337 billion in possible investment offer

    Musk will have no issues raising capital evidenced by the ease with which he raises cash for SpaceX and how he corralled investors for acquiring Twitter, now X. Venture capital is an inside club and Musk has a premium membership.

    BYD executive warns Musk over Tesla's AI focus

    The media insists on pitting these companies against each other for the sensationalism of course, albeit manufactured drama. These two are leading the electric auto industry AGAINST the legacy OEMs, not each other.

    Starlink is already bigger than ADSL in South Africa

    The most industrialised nation in Africa trails the rest of the continent in high-speed satellite internet adoption is a stupefying irony all for stubborn political reasons.

    BYD poised to pass Tesla in fully-electric car sales

    Tesla and BYD have vastly different sales strategies with the latter focusing on the low end of the market where volumes are high. A bloody good job nonetheless.

    Twitter/X gets new subscription tiers — from R54 to R289

    If you believe some features will be useful to you, pay for it. If not, don't. BUT, don't try and convince the rest of the world which way to go based on some narrow view.

    Elon's fortune takes a hit — now only worth R4 trillion

    He may be up 20 or 30 billion $ next week, who knows? Just the nature of stock markets you see.

    Twitter/X will test X Premium with three tiers

    I see most media outlets still use the name Twitter in their headlines as the name still holds some value. Like an X girlfriend you going to have to let go at some point.
