Elon Musk and Donald Trump Engage in Public Spat

• Elon Musk and Donald Trump have started a public dispute that has led to a drop in Tesla's stock prices.
• Surveillance technologies are being used to identify protesters in Los Angeles, raising concerns about privacy.
• Artificial intelligence is becoming an important tool in filmmaking, but the quality of some AI-generated works raises doubts.

This is reported by Forbes, The Guardian.

Conflict Between Musk and Trump

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are no longer friends. The conflict between them became public last week when each began exchanging sharp remarks. After four days of dispute, Musk lost ground as Tesla's stock fell by 15%, resulting in a loss of $150 billion in the company's market value.

Musk called for Trump's impeachment and mocked his connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In turn, Trump threatened to cancel federal contracts for Musk's companies, highlighting the U.S. reliance on his firms in the space sector.

Use of Technology in the Conflict

In this context, it is also important to mention the use of surveillance technologies during protests in Los Angeles, where police are using facial recognition. According to a police representative, they can analyze video from helicopters or surveillance cameras to identify protesters, although their capabilities are limited.

Federal agents, unlike local police, may use technology to search for matches on social media. This raises questions about data privacy and the use of new technologies in law enforcement.

Film Production Using Artificial Intelligence

Recent events also point to the growing role of artificial intelligence in filmmaking. Lionsgate has announced a partnership with Runway to utilize AI in the film production process. However, the quality of films created using AI raises questions about their creative potential.

Many short films created with AI have failed to evoke emotions and have proven to be uninteresting. However, some works, such as "Total Pixel Space," have received recognition for their originality and depth.

Conclusions on Technology and Society

The conflict between Musk and Trump, as well as the use of new technologies in justice and filmmaking, demonstrate how technology impacts modern society. These events raise questions about how we use technology and the potential consequences for freedom and creativity.
