Earlier this week, xAI added what can only be described as an AI anime girlfriend named Ani to its Grok chatbot. Which is how I ended up on a virtual starry beach as an AI waifu avatar tried to give me a “spicy” kiss.

Elon Musk has just unveiled “Companions,” a new feature for his AI chatbot, Grok, that allows users to interact with AI personas. These include Ani, a gothic anime girl who communicates with emojis, flirtatious messages, and facts, as well as Rudy, a friendly red panda.

It was Musk himself who wrenched the Epstein affair back into public consciousness during his first open spat with Trump in June. In a now-deleted X post, Musk wrote, “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” Trump has not been officially accused of any wrongdoing connected to Epstein.

The world's richest man backed US President Donald Trump's successful campaign with his funds and high profile. Even after his falling out with Trump, his impact on politics could only be just beginning.

Tesla Inc. opened its first India showroom, showcasing Model Y cars with a starting price of nearly $70,000, as Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle maker looks to tap new markets and offset slowing sales where it’s already well established.

Tesla has launched its Model Y in India, priced at ₹60 lakh, amid high import tariffs. While the entry is strategic, analysts believe the immediate impact on sales and stock may be limited, but long-term potential exists in India's growing EV market.
