Elon Musk aims to reshape hiring by prioritising skills over degrees, with the larger goal of transforming X into a unified platform that integrates services like payments, messaging, e-commerce, and multimedia.

Iran’s foreign ministry denied that a meeting was held between the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations and Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and close ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, Iranian state media reported Saturday.

The New York Times reported the meeting took place earlier this week, citing two Iranian officials. Associated Press also reported a meeting between the two, citing a US official briefed by a foreign colleague.

But Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei “categorically denied” that a meeting took place and was “surprised” by the coverage in US media, state-run IRNA said.

Elon Musk has accomplished some remarkable feats recently. He successfully launched a seven-story building-sized rocket into space and safely returned it to Earth. He also introduced new driverless vehicles, including a cab and a 20-passenger "Robovan." Earlier this year, he developed a microchip that enables a paraplegic person to connect to computers and announced technology that could potentially treat permanent blindness.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a surprising announcement at the "We, Robot" event: the unveiling of the Tesla Robovan. This isn't your ordinary van. The Robovan is a futuristic, electric vehicle designed for urban transportation. It can carry up to 20 people or transport goods and has a sleek, train-like design.

Musk described the Robovan as a high-capacity, autonomous vehicle for cities. It's about the size of a bus and has a distinctive retro-futuristic look with silver metallic sides, black accents, and light strips. Inside, passengers can sit or stand, and the windows are tinted. Since it's fully autonomous, there's no steering wheel.

While details like price, production plans, and release dates are still unknown, the Robovan is undoubtedly a standout addition to Tesla's lineup.
