ANÁLISIS | Elon Musk, el hombre más rico del mundo, sigue desesperado por llamar nuestra atención

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:26:39 GMT

(CNN) — Elon Musk quiere desesperadamente caer bien, a pesar de su declaración de este miércoles de que no le importa que lo odien. “Que me odien”, dijo a Andrew Ross Sorkin en la cumbre DealBook de The New York Times.Esta afirmación es, como gran parte de la imagen pública de Musk, una mentira diseñada para mantener la atención del público centrada en él.A riesgo de patologizar en exceso a una de las figuras públicas más patologizadas del planeta, algo que la entrevista de Musk dejó claro es que parece adicto a la atención. Y cuando la adoración no está disponible, se toma la condena como una inyección de metadona.Por eso compró un megáfono personal de US$ 44.000 millones. Por eso, en la cumbre de este miércoles, dijo a los anunciantes que abandonan X (antes Twitter) que “se vayan a la m****”, saboreando cada palabra mientras parecía darse una palmadita en la espalda por utilizar un lenguaje tan picante delante de un periodista de The New York Times.Al...

(CNN) — La Asamblea Legislativa de El Salvador aprobó la solicitud del presidente Nayib Bukele de un permiso para dejar el cargo durante seis meses para centrarse en su campaña para la reelección el próximo año.Bukele se postulará para un segundo mandato como presidente a pesar de que, según los críticos, la Constitución del país prohíbe los mandatos presidenciales consecutivos.En 2021, el máximo tribunal del país dictaminó que Bukele podía presentarse a un segundo mandato, pero que debía dejar su cargo seis meses antes de que comenzara un nuevo periodo.Bukele podría ganar las elecciones de 2024 dados sus altos índices de aprobación. Su dura represión de las bandas violentas le ha hecho popular en el país, azotado por la delincuencia, a pesar de que ha sido ampliamente condenada por los activistas en favor de los derechos humanos.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Live updates | Israel strikes Gaza, resuming combat minutes after the cease-fire’s end

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:26:39 GMT

A temporary cease-fire deal that lasted seven days has expired without word from mediator Qatar on an extension. Israel resumed fighting in Gaza on Friday morning, minutes after the truce ended, and accused Hamas of having violated the cease-fire.Over 100 hostages were freed during the truce, most of whom appear physically well but shaken. Israel says around 125 men are still held hostage. The 240 Palestinians released under the cease-fire were mostly teenagers accused of throwing stones and firebombs during confrontations with Israeli forces. The deal that began Nov. 24 ended after a week and multiple extensions, despite international pressure for the truce to be upheld as long as possible. Weeks of Israeli bombardment and a ground campaign have left more than three-quarters of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents uprooted, leading to a humanitarian crisis. More than 13,300 Palestinians have been killed — roughly two-thirds of them women and minors — according to the Health Ministry ...
