Musk critical of Biden's new tariffs: "Surprised"

Electric car manufacturer Tesla's founder and CEO Elon Musk does not support President Biden's tightened trade tariffs on, among other things, Chinese electric cars that were introduced the other week, reports CNBC.

At a conference in Paris on Thursday, the Tesla CEO emphasized that the tougher trade tariffs are not something that neither he himself nor the company called for.

- On the contrary, I was surprised that they were introduced, he says.

Schumacher receives damages after fake AI interview

Former F1 star Michael Schumacher receives 2.3 million kroner in damages paid by the German tabloid newspaper Die Aktuelle. This is reported by AFP, which refers to information from the German Bild.

The court decision concerns a text that Die Aktuelle published in 2023. In it, the newspaper claimed to have interviewed the former F1 driver who in 2013 suffered a brain injury after a skiing accident.

However, it later turned out that the interview was in fact faked with the help of AI.

The Schumacher family confirms to AFP that the court's decision was "positive", but has not commented on Bild's information about financial compensation.
