After years of waiting, India may soon benefit from Elon Musk's Starlink. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's satellite network has made the internet accessible to even the most remote parts of the world. It has helped provide crucial internet connectivity wirelessly in remote places, war-torn areas as well and places witnessing natural disasters. While Starlink is currently available in nearly 32 countries, users in India were kept away from its services, despite Musk being in talks with the Indian government for years.

He also flaunted his dumbbell and weight-lifting skills.
On Thursday, X CEO introduced a new feature to hide the Blue tick.
According to the Help page of the micro-blogging site, one of the features reads, “Hide your checkmark: As a subscriber, you can choose to hide your checkmark on your account. The check mark will be hidden on your profile and posts. The checkmark may still appear in some places and some features could still reveal you have an active subscription. Some features may not be available while your checkmark is hidden. We will continue to evolve this feature to make it better for you.”
As per the Mashable website report, for subscribers to Twitter Blue, the "Hide your blue checkmark" option is visible in the "Profile Customization" page in your Account Settings.
Twitter first introduced the blue check mark system in 2009 to help users identify celebrities, politicians, companies, brands, news organizations and other accounts "of public interest" as genuine and not impostors or parody accounts. The company didn't previously charge for verification.
Musk launched Twitter Blue with the check-mark badge as one of the premium perks within two weeks of the company's takeover last year.
On April 1, Twitter removed blue ticks from verified accounts, following the implementation of paid subscription service which charges USD 8 for a blue verification badge on the microblogging site.

Elon Musk says news organizations are eligible for X's revenue-sharing program
Just days ago, reports highlighted that billionaire Elon Musk intended to remove headlines from link previews on X (formerly Twitter) to make the height of the preview box smaller. But that does not mean that he wants these users and organizations to stop using the platform. In fact, Musk has been openly asking journalists and news organizations to become a part of the platform and participate in news sharing to begin earning money from X's revenue-sharing program. But with no option to share headlines in links, it might be that the billionaire is setting things up for original, or direct, reporting on the social media site - scribes are being encouraged to post directly on X.

Elon Musk says ‘blocking’ on Twitter “is going to be deleted as a feature”
Elon Musk made a shocking comment on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday when he said that ‘block' as a feature will be deleted on the platform. That means users will not be able to block any other user on the platform, no matter if they spam or troll. The billionaire is known for his dislike of general social networking features, and he has repeatedly expressed his feelings about it. However, getting rid of the blocking feature might not be that easy, even for the owner of one of the largest social media platforms.
