SpaceX reportedly fired employees behind letter criticizing Elon Musk

June 17, 2022

SpaceX has fired employees who participated in writing and distributing an open letter criticizing Elon Musk, The New York Times has reported. First revealed yesterday, the letter called Musk's behavior on social media "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment" and asked SpaceX to condemn his actions.

According to three unnamed employees and an email from SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell seen by the NYT, SpaceX fired some of the letter's organizers, but there's no indication of how many were let go.

"[SpaceX has] terminated a number of employees involved" with the letter, she wrote. "The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views. We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism."

The open letter from the employees referenced recent accusations of sexual misconduct involving Musk that reportedly prompted a $250,000 settlement. Musk said the allegations were "utterly untrue" and made a crude joke about some of the details on Twitter. SpaceX defended Musk, with Shotwell saying she "personally" believed the accusations were false.

Another subject in the letter was distractions due to Musk's Twitter use. In February, the SEC opened an investigation into Musk over possible insider trading, and a court recently ruled that Tesla company lawyers must continue to approve his tweets. (Earlier this week, Musk appealed that decision). Prior to the letter, Musk reportedly told SpaceX employees that they must spend at least 40 hours a week in the office or risk being fired.

In her email, Shotwell added that "blanketing thousands of people across the company with repeated unsolicited emails and asking them to sign letters and fill out unsponsored surveys during the work day is not acceptable. Please stay focused on the SpaceX mission, and use your time to do your best work. This is how we will get to Mars."

Employees are protected against retaliation by OSHA's whistleblower rules, but those generally apply to issues like safety, fraud, environmental issues and health insurance. Still, the firings are likely to create another round of controversy involving Musk.

Kuwait returns five Pharaonic relics to Egypt

June 17, 2022

Kuwait handed on Thursday five pharaonic artifacts to Egypt, confiscated by the customs department at Kuwait airport in 2019. Director of Artifacts and Museums at the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) Sultan Al-Duwaish told KUNA that these invaluable artifacts, smuggled from Luxor, were closely examined by experts from Kuwait University, Poland and Egypt, who concluded that three were original pieces dating back to 1400 BC, while two were of questionable origins.

Duwaish said a number of Kuwaiti entities including the foreign ministry, the customs department and NCCAL cooperated with the Egyptian Embassy in Kuwait to examine and return these relics to their rightful place as stipulated in international treaties. He indicated that this is the second handover of historical artifacts by Kuwait to Egypt, the first being in 2018 of a wooden casket cover.

Egyptian Ambassador to Kuwait Osama Shaltout commended the role of Kuwaiti entities and their tireless efforts in returning the artifacts to their original place. He added that this cooperation includes investigating those involved in the smuggling, adding a delegation from the Egyptian public prosecution came to Kuwait in March to follow up the case.

Shaltout said this stems from Egypt’s quest to recover missing pieces, adding that France has already returned hundreds of items, while tens came from Italy and Spain. Four of the items confiscated in Kuwait were statues of Egyptian pharaohs including Amenhotep III and Amun-Ra, and the ancient Egyptian god Horus, as well as an ornate stone mural. – KUNA

Kuwaiti MPs demand action against India for insults to Prophet

June 17, 2022

Kuwaiti MPs called on their government on Thursday to apply all forms of pressure against India following insults against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by government, party and media officials in the South Asian nation that sparked protests by millions of Muslims around the world. A statement signed by 30 MPs of the 50-member National Assembly also condemned what it called atrocities by Indian police against “our Indian Muslim brethren” who protested peacefully against the insults.

Meanwhile, thousands of social media activists have demanded that all Arab countries, and especially Gulf states, where some eight million Indians live and work, deport Hindutva supporters in retaliation for the insults to Islam and the Prophet (PBUH) and atrocities against peaceful Muslim demonstrators.

“Members of the Kuwait National Assembly express their rejection of insults made by the Indian government, party and media officials against the Prophet (PBUH), Islamic religion and Islamic holy sites,” the statement said. The statement also condemned violent actions by the Indian government against Indian Muslims and their properties and called for providing protection to them.

The lawmakers also urged the government of Kuwait and world governments to apply diplomatic, economic and media pressure and other means of pressure in a bid to stop insults against the Prophet (PBUH) and attacks against Indian Muslims.

Meanwhile, the Assembly’s budgets committee failed to meet for the second time in three days due to a lack of quorum, head of the panel MP Annan Abdulsamad said. He said the meeting is necessary to vote on the state budget for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, which started on April 1, and also approve some 45 independent budgets of state-run agencies and departments.

Abdulsamad warned that if the committee fails to meet next week, the Assembly will likely do what it did last year and withdraw the budgets from the committee and approve them in the Assembly without the need for the panel’s report. Also on Thursday, 17 opposition MPs continued their sit-in protest at the National Assembly to press for an end to what they claimed are violations to the country’s constitution and preventing the Assembly from holding sessions./KT

World's central banks now face an uneasy crowd

June 17, 2022

Global central bankers, who shared the limelight for skirting a pandemic-driven depression with quick action two years ago, are now stumbling through the aftermath as they try to quell an inflation surge none predicted or have been able to forestall.

If their response to the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic seemed bold and forward-looking, with its laundry list of new programs and massive monetary stimulus, the last few months have been an erratic, even awkward phase of failed forecasts, embarrassing mea culpas, increased political scrutiny and some evidence of lost trust.

Managing inflation is core to a central bank's mission, and from major players like the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan to regional institutions like the Bank of Canada and the Reserve Bank of Australia, recent events have dealt a blow to their credibility as they play catch up with policy and, in the process, raise the likelihood of recession.

"They had horse blinders on. They didn't want to entertain any talk of stable or upside risk to inflation in response to massive stimulus around the world, government and monetary," said Derek Holt, head of capital markets economics at Scotiabank in Toronto. "I think they had that evidence even as 2020 unfolded," yet held onto emergency programs for another year, and discounted an initial rise in inflation as transitory.

The result: Over little more than a week the Fed has whipsawed financial markets with a 75-basis-point interest rate increase, its first hike of that size since 1994; the European Central Bank scrambled towards new emergency plans to control government bond spreads; the Swiss National Bank approved an unexpected rate hike; Bank of England forecasts hinted at a developing stagflation; and Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda was forced to apologize after stinging criticism of remarks that households had become "accepting" of higher prices.

Kuroda's predicament was emblematic.

Inflation in Japan crept just over 2 per cent on an annual basis in April, low compared to the more than 8 per cent increases in consumer prices seen recently in the United States, for example, and effectively meeting the BOJ's 2 per cent target after decades of concern about the opposite problem of deflation.

Yet the notion of households accepting higher prices proved taboo, something that central bankers and elected officials across the world are fast relearning after a generation when prices were held down by a variety of forces, including globalization, that the pandemic may have eroded.

"Every one of these central banks is operating in some kind of risk management framework and really since the (2007-2009) financial crisis ... the race was who was going to outease the other" in order to sustain growth and jobs in a low and even falling price environment, said Ed Al-Hussainy, a senior rates analyst with Columbia Threadneedle. "Now that is going in reverse ... The risk of error has shifted to the other side of the street," in the form of inflation that threatens to stay higher and take public wage and price expectations with it.

BLINDSIDED

Critics say the central banks themselves are to blame for keeping interest rates too low for too long, and printing too much money for the economy to absorb - particularly an economy in which the supply of goods and services suffered its own setbacks.

Central bankers argue that much of the current price shock is beyond their control, with inflation made more intense and persistent by events such as the Ukraine war or the still uncertain return of China to its place in the global goods supply chain.

Whatever the causes, the impact has been felt acutely by households. Blindsided by rising food and energy prices they were told would be temporary, faith has begun to erode that central banks will hit their typical 2 per cent inflation targets any time soon - a worrisome development that's begun shaping central banks' own reactions.

After the Fed unveiled its large rate hike on Wednesday, Chair Jerome Powell was blunt in tying the historical action to fears the Fed was losing the battle in shaping public expectations about inflation.

Some economists downplay such expectations, measured in surveys of households, as being overly sensitive to things like gas and food prices that are excluded from the "core" inflation trends typically given importance in setting monetary policy.

But "headline inflation is what people experience," Powell said in a news conference after the policy decision. "They don't know what 'core' is. Why would they? They have no reason to. So expectations are very much at risk" the longer headline inflation stays elevated.

"Central banks have persuaded themselves that longer-term inflation expectations were the whole story," and took comfort from surveys showing households expect inflation to fall years into the future, said Karen Dynan, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics and a professor at Harvard University. But "people look backwards too, and there is inertia. They think about what changes in wages and prices help them keep up," and begin demanding them in ways that can drive prices and wages higher.

If households are getting less trustful, politicians are taking note as well.

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has faced calls for his removal, and the central bank has promised a public vetting this summer of its mistaken inflation forecasts. Australia is planning a review of central bank operations after the Reserve Bank of Australia's misread of inflation led it to start rate increases in May after saying until late last year that rises in borrowing costs were unlikely until 2024.

Powell next week will testify twice before lawmakers in the U.S. Congress as part of his regular biannual monetary policy updates. The sessions will likely focus on the threat of high inflation and what's become the central question as interest rates spike and key markets start to slow: How bad will it get?

Maintaining central bank independence "was easier when central banks were making progress - not when a situation is deteriorating," said Vincent Reinhart, a former Fed official who is now the chief economist at Dreyfus and Mellon. He noted that the collective missteps have occurred during "the relatively easier part of the tightening spell," when rates are rising from near zero and the price to be paid in terms of slower economic growth and higher unemployment is not yet apparent.

"What happens when you are closer to the destination ... but the destination is much less popular. That is where they are headed."/agencies

Islamophobia

Opinion: The U.S. must oppose India’s rising Islamophobia

June 17, 2022

India’s relations with majority-Muslim countries have been strained this month after two officials in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made demeaning comments about the prophet Muhammad. Stores in countries such as Kuwait pulled Indian products off their shelves, and protesters continue to call for boycotts of Indian-made goods; more than a dozen governments in majority-Muslim countries and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned the comments. Good. Religious intolerance under Mr. Modi has gone unchallenged long enough.

The backlash produced some modest results. In response, the BJP suspended spokeswoman Nupur Sharma and expelled spokesman Naveen Jindal. The ruling party also issued a statement June 5 denouncing the “insult of any religious personalities of any religion,” stating that the BJP opposes “any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion,” as the party “respects all religions.”

This is not how Mr. Modi or the BJP has governed. India, founded as a secular nation despite its 79 percent Hindu majority and 15 percent Muslim minority, has slid toward Hindu nationalism under BJP rule. Bulldozers have razed houses in majority-Muslim neighborhoods under dubious pretenses, with local officials even boasting of the demolitions. The BJP-run state government of Karnataka banned hijabs in schools, a motion the state court upheld in March. Hate crimes against Indian Muslims and other religious minorities number in the hundreds each year, as local and state BJP officials engage in hate speech themselves. Amid all this, Mr. Modi and the national BJP have been quiet — until now.

Given this history, it seems unlikely the BJP’s nice-sounding statements reflect a sudden concern for religious tolerance. Indeed, two people were killed and dozens more injured as police charged a crowd of protesters last Friday.

That India’s ruling party did anything to condemn religious intolerance probably reflects concern about alienating Middle Eastern states, on which India depends heavily for natural gas, economic cooperation, infrastructure projects, counterterrorism and intelligence. Millions of Indians work and live in the Persian Gulf region, sending home remittances. Mr. Modi wants to make India a leader on the global stage; the recent backlash shows that he and his party might respond when other countries object to rife anti-Muslim sentiment in India, tolerated or encouraged by his party.

The United States should increase the pressure. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in April that the Biden administration is monitoring human rights abuses in India; this month, he named India as a country with deteriorating religious freedoms. But the White House has been silent as this most recent controversy has unfolded. India could be a pluralistic democracy or a country defined by a dark, intolerant nationalism. The United States should work actively in favor of the former./WP

EU Parliament leader demands to warn Greece against illegal pushbacks

June 17, 2022

The centre-right political group of the Greek governing party tried to block in the European Parliament a letter reminding Greece to respect international court rulings against illegal pushbacks at the Greek-Turkish border, Anadolu Agency learned on Thursday.

The chair of the European Parliament’s civil liberties committee, Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar, has written a letter to EU Commissioners in charge of migration and human rights.

Lopez Aguilar reminds the EU executive body of reports about “dozens of persons seeking international protection pushed back from Greece to Turkey through the land border area of the Evros River.”

The letter points out that the “situation has been escalating during the last month” and reports raise significant concerns that “loss of life, inhumane treatment, denial of access to the asylum procedure and refoulement are taking place at the EU’s external borders with the involvement of the Greek police authorities.”

Lopez Aguilar also warns the European Commission that it has “the duty and the responsibility to condemn any use of violence” and to ensure that Greece implements the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights, instructing Greek authorities to provide immediate humanitarian and medical assistance for asylum-seekers.

The European People Party, the political group that has Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s party, the New Democracy belongs, has tried to block the letter with a committee vote, an EU official familiar with the file told Anadolu Agency.

“The move did not succeed and the letter will be sent to the European Commission by tomorrow at the latest,” the source said.

Following the lawsuit of human rights organizations, the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights has recently issued 13 interim measures instructing Greek authorities to provide food, water, and adequate medical treatment for asylum-seekers stranded on the Turkish-Greek border near the Evros river.

Many of the migrants have reported pushbacks.

Human rights advocates and leading media outlets have frequently reported illegal pushbacks and other rights breaches by Greek authorities violating EU and international law.

Besides seaborne pushbacks, Greek border forces are also accused of apprehending and forcibly expelling migrants who manage to cross into the country by land.

In February, at least 19 irregular migrants were found frozen to death near the Turkish-Greek border after being pushed back to Türkiye by Greece.

Turkish officials criticized Athens for the inhumane and degrading treatment of irregular migrants, saying those who were found dead had been stripped of their clothes and shoes by the Greek border guards.

Greece denied any involvement./aa

Omicron may be less likely to cause long Covid than prior variants, study suggests

June 17, 2022

The omicron variant of Covid-19 appears less likely than delta to lead to long Covid, according to British researchers.

But because omicron is much more contagious than previous variants, the enormous number of people who have been infected since it began spreading in the winter means there will still be many who are struggling with long-lasting symptoms, such as brain fog, headaches and debilitating fatigue.

The new research, which was published Thursday in The Lancet, is an observational analysis of people who signed up for a smartphone app-led project called the ZOE Covid Study. Users regularly report any Covid symptoms, vaccination status and other demographic information.

Since the app's launch in March 2020, approximately 4.7 million people, most of whom reside in the U.K., have signed on.

"For each successive wave of virus, we've been looking at whether the likelihood of going on to get long Covid is affected by different variants," said Claire Steves, an author of the new study and senior clinical lecturer at King's College London.

Steves and her team found no differences in long Covid prevalence when they compared the original strain of the virus to subsequent variants up through delta.

"We were really keen when omicron came in, especially because it went through our population really, very quickly," Steves said. "We wanted to find out as quick as possible what this meant for long Covid."

The researchers zeroed in on data from 41,361 adults who tested positive for Covid-19 between June 2021 and late November 2021 —when the delta variant was dominant — comparing them to 56,003 adults who tested positive after omicron took hold between December 2021 and March 2022, when more than 70% of cases in the U.K. were estimated to be omicron.

Long Covid is defined by the U.K. team as having new or ongoing symptoms at least one month after initial infection.

Nearly 11% of people who became infected during the delta period met the criteria. When researchers looked at people infected during the omicron wave, the percentage of long Covid patients fell to 4.5%.

All participants had been vaccinated prior to their infection. Some research has suggested that vaccines may offer little protection against long Covid.

When Steves and her team accounted for vaccination status, they continued to see a reduction in long Covid risk during the omicron wave. "That's a robust finding," Steves said.

The research does not, however, provide details on how long people were experiencing long Covid or the severity of the symptoms.

"This is an important piece of data," said Andrea Lerner, a medical officer at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. She is affiliated with a major study of long Covid called RECOVER, which aims to recruit at least 18,000 people.

"But what it doesn't tell us is the clinical details about what they're experiencing or how long they're experiencing symptoms or effects," Lerner said.

Rising cases of long Covid

There is no definitive data on how many people may have long Covid. Estimates generally settle on a range of 20% to 30% of all Covid infections.

Even if omicron is less likely to cause long-lasting symptoms, particularly for people who have been vaccinated, the actual number of people that are affected by long Covid isn't going down, Steves said.

"In fact, it's going up," she said.

Download the NBC News app for full coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic

Because the U.K. report tracked infections when the omicron version BA.1 was dominant, it's not clear yet whether the newer subvariants BA.2.12.1 and BA.4 and BA.5, which are gaining a foothold in the U.S., will lead to more or less long Covid symptoms.

Clinics specializing in long Covid in the U.S., which is currently averaging more than 100,000 cases a day, according to NBC News data, are seeing plenty of new patients who have recovered from omicron and are still experiencing a range of symptoms.

"We've seen patients who were infected in December, January and February in our clinic," said Dr. Upinder Singh, a professor of infectious diseases and division chief for infectious diseases at Stanford Medicine in California.

But while the ZOE app can gather user-driven data in real time, a backlog in long Covid appointments makes it difficult for physicians treating long Covid to know whether patients were infected during the delta or omicron waves.

"I don't have the numbers to know whether it's more or less than after delta, to be honest," Singh said. "We're scheduling so far out."

Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, an occupational medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, said that his team is seeing long Covid patients who were infected during the omicron wave, as well.

"While the omicron variant may have less risk for long Covid, the sheer number of people with omicron means that there can be a rapid increase in long Covid cases around the world," Vanichkachorn said.

"Long-haul Covid continues to be a public health concern that must be addressed," he said./Agencies

Tesla to charge more for cars in United States as inflation bites

June 17, 2022

(Reuters) -Tesla Inc again raised prices for all its car models in the United States in response to persistent global supply-chain problems and soaring raw material costs.

The electric carmaker increased its Model Y long-range price to $65,990 from $62,990, its website showed on Thursday, after delaying U.S. deliveries of some long-range models by up to a month.

The 5% price hike comes as costs of raw materials for aluminum to lithium used in cars and batteries surge, while automakers struggle to source chips and other supplies due to an industry-wide shortage.

Credit Suisse said the price hike represents in some cases the fourth one in the United States in 2022. "While some concerned price hikes will destroy demand, for now Tesla remains supply constrained," the brokerage said.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has previously said that lithium is responsible for cost increases and "a limiting factor" to EV growth, encouraging carmakers to get into the lithium business.

Rival Rivian Automotive Inc has also raised prices by more than $10,000 for new orders of its base model.

Rivian Chief Financial Officer Claire McDonough said on Thursday during Deutsche Bank's Global Auto Industry Conference that customers were opting for the most high-end models despite the price increases.

"(That's) leverage as we think about the world of inflation, and the pricing headroom that we believe we have for our vehicles," McDonough said.

Several automakers are expected to deliver electric cars to customers for the first time in their race to catch up with Tesla amid growing demand.

Musk, the world's richest person, has warned about the risk of a recession in recent weeks. He said earlier this month he had a "super bad feeling" about the economy and that Tesla needed to cut 10% of jobs.

Musk, who is in the process of buying Twitter Inc for $44 billion, is expected to address the social media company's employees later on Thursday.

Shares of Tesla were down about 9% on Thursday.

Elon Musk sued for $258 billion over alleged Dogecoin pyramid scheme

June 17, 2022

Elon Musk (pix) was sued for US$258 billion (RM1.13 trillion) yesterday by a Dogecoin investor who accused him of running a pyramid scheme to support the cryptocurrency.

In a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, plaintiff Keith Johnson accused Musk, electric car company Tesla Inc and space tourism company SpaceX of racketeering for touting Dogecoin and driving up its price, only to then let the price tumble.

Musk is CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX.

“Defendants were aware since 2019 that Dogecoin had no value yet promoted Dogecoin to profit from its trading,” the complaint said. “Musk used his pedestal as World’s Richest man to operate and manipulate the Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme for profit, exposure and amusement.”

The complaint also aggregates comments from Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and others questioning the value of cryptocurrency.

Tesla, SpaceX and a lawyer for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A lawyer for Johnson did not immediately respond to requests for comment on what specific evidence his client has or expects to have that proves Dogecoin is worthless and the defendants ran a pyramid scheme.

Johnson is seeking US$86 billion in damages, representing the decline in Dogecoin's market value since May 2021, and wants it tripled.

He also wants to block Musk and his companies from promoting Dogecoin and a judge to declare that trading Dogecoin is gambling under federal and New York law.

The complaint said Dogecoin’s selloff began around the time Musk hosted the NBC show Saturday Night Live and, playing a fictitious financial expert on a Weekend Update segment, called Dogecoin “a hustle”.

Tesla in February 2021 said it had bought US$1.5 billion of bitcoin and for a short time accepted it as payment for vehicles.

Dogecoin traded at about 5.8 cents yesterday, down from its May 2021 peak of about 74 cents.

In a separate development, Musk pitched a vision yesterday to Twitter staff of a one-billion-user platform, but was hazy on potential layoffs, free speech limits and what’s next in his chaotic buyout bid.

He talked of letting people say pretty much whatever they want on Twitter while at the same time keeping it a friendly place that users enjoy visiting.

While fielding questions in his first meeting with staffers, Musk offered no updates on whether he will go through with a proposed US$44 billion takeover deal which he himself has called into doubt.

A transcript of the employees-only virtual meeting posted at website Recode indicated Musk professed “love” for Twitter, joking that while some people express themselves with hairstyles he does so on the global messaging stage.

Musk said he wants to have “at least a billion people on Twitter” in what would be massive growth for a platform that has about 229 million now.

Musk told Twitter employees he favours moderate political positions, but that users should be able to say outrageous things.

He qualified that by saying that freedom of speech doesn't mean an intrinsic freedom for comments to reach far and wide. He has already made comments on how he'd run the platform – including lifting Donald Trump’s ban.

“People should be allowed to say pretty outrageous things that are within the bounds of the law, but then that doesn’t get amplified,“ Musk said, according to the transcript.

“We have to strike this balance of allowing people to say what they want to say but also make people comfortable on Twitter, or they simply won’t use it.”

Musk answered a question about possible layoffs by saying the company “needs to get healthy” when it comes to its financial situation.

“Anyone who’s obviously a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about,” Musk told Twitter workers.

He endorsed advertising and subscriptions as ways to make money at Twitter, saying ads should be entertaining as well as legitimate.

Musk talked anew about making money at Twitter by charging to verify identities of those behind accounts, then making verification a factor in which tweets get higher ranking at the platform.

Regarding Twitter's policy of letting people work from home, Musk said it would be an option only for those proven to be exceptional at their jobs.

Musk touched on his Tesla and SpaceX endeavours during the meeting, talking of sustainable energy and extending the “scope, scale and lifespan of consciousness as we know it”. – Reuters, AFP
