On December 18, Musk visited Boeing’s military aircraft facility in San Antonio, Texas.

The billionaire, assigned by former US President Donald Trump to reduce government inefficiency, arrived in his Gulfstream G650.

Elon Musk visits the Boeing factory in Texas.

He came to review the new version of Air Force One, which is significantly delayed and facing a budget overrun of $2.7 billion.

This situation has become a significant issue for Boeing’s CEO, Kelly Ortberg.

Musk’s involvement is particularly striking given that his company, SpaceX, competes directly with Boeing in the aerospace sector.

His inspection of the presidential jet highlights the challenges Boeing faces in fulfilling government contracts amidst high expectations and critical scrutiny.

Trump’s helicopter made an emergency landing at Luton due to a hydraulic issue, causing a brief 20-minute delay.

US President Donald Trump’s journey to Stansted Airport was interrupted when his helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Luton Airport.

The White House confirmed that the decision was prompted by a minor hydraulic issue. After ensuring safety and a quick reassessment, Trump and the First Lady were transferred to a backup helicopter, continuing their journey with only a 20-minute delay.

Marine One, the iconic helicopter used to transport the US President, is specially designed with missile defence and advanced radar-jamming systems, making it a highly secure mode of transport.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.
