Kemi Badenoch is ousted as the Tories cast their second-last round of votes to replace Boris Johnson as the UK prime minister

Rishi Sunak emerged once again as the Tory parliamentary party favourite as the voting rounds near and end as Conservatives replace Boris Johnson.

Kemi Badenoch – a wildcard entrant who was a relative unknown outside of Westminster circles, was eliminated.

I’m grateful to my colleagues and the party members who have supported me.

This campaign began less than two weeks ago. What we’ve achieved demonstrates the level of support for our vision of change for our country and for the Conservative Party.

Thank you. pic.twitter.com/2hnk3nyynY

This leaves Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt remaining.

There is only one more party vote to take place, which will see one of the remaining three contestants being ousted.

PENNY MORDAUNT, WHO WAS THE UK’S FIRST FEMALE DEFENCE SECRETARY IN 2019

After that, the final two will face a postal ballot of the entire UK Conservative membership.

SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could raise $25 billion and value the company over $1 trillion, igniting investor excitement for Mars missions.

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
