According to U.Today, Elon Musk, the tech centibillionaire, has announced a significant achievement by SpaceX, one of his oldest and largest companies. The news was met with immediate response from the community on the X platform, including crypto-themed accounts predicting a rise in SpaceX's crypto holdings.
Musk congratulated the SpaceX team on reaching three million customers in 99 countries. He also thanked SpaceX customers for purchasing Starlink, a space-internet connection that recently became available in Indonesia. Musk visited Bali as part of the promotional campaign for this service.
Crypto user @XRPcryptowolf tweeted his expectation that SpaceX's crypto holdings, which include Bitcoin and Dogecoin, would increase significantly. As of March 1, SpaceX and Tesla together held $1.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, with profits exceeding half a million U.S. dollars following a bull run. DOGE is the only cryptocurrency accepted by both SpaceX and Tesla for their online merchandise.
In other news, Musk expressed concern over a recent AI innovation introduced by Microsoft Corporation. The new feature, named 'Recall', creates photographic memories for users by taking screenshots of all user activity on a PC and processing it with AI. Users can later search through this archive.
Musk likened the feature to an episode of 'Black Mirror', a TV series depicting dystopian futures dominated by technology, and stated that he would certainly switch this feature off. Ripple CTO David Schwartz also questioned the utility of this feature, suggesting that people might not want to use it. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella assured users that Recall would operate locally and would not transfer personal user data from their PCs.
