The Tesla Killer ... Can you invest in it now?

Lucid Motors, the electric car maker, which is largely owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, will become a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.

The car benefits from the company's long history of battery technology that enables it to run for more than 800 kilometers without the need for charging, which gives it the ability to compete with the "S Sedan", the latest Tesla car.

Lucid believes it can achieve gross profits as soon as possible by 2023, which is when Gravity, the first SUV, will debut and be on the market by 2025.

Facebook and Australia are loved

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's government made last-minute changes to the news media bill proposed to Parliament in December, which was due to be voted into law.

The decision comes after Facebook blocked important Australian health and emergency news pages on its platform, as it faced a backlash from politicians as well as users.

Under the amendments to the proposed bill, the Australian government will take into account the trade agreements that digital platforms such as Google and Facebook have already entered into with local news media companies before deciding whether the laws apply to the tech giants. or not.

Defrost a plane's surface in a jiffy

The US Army has tested a new laser weapon called the "ultra-short pulse laser" (UPSL) that fires short, pulse-like bursts with a power of one terawatt, for a duration of no more than 200 femtoseconds, or a quarter of a millionth of a second, compared to the maximum of 150 kilowatts for current systems .

Despite this short time, the new laser can vaporize the surface of a drone, and it is also believed that it can disable nearby electronics systems, making it an electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

The US military is aiming to have a working prototype by August 2022.

Huawei's tough job

The company "Huawei" (Huawei) announced that the "Harmony OS" system will start working on the new "Mate X2" foldable device from the company, which was launched on Monday and includes the rest of its smartphones starting from April.

Huawei has provided for international users outside China its own application store known as "AppGallery". However, the company may face some challenges in international markets, as the store lacks major applications, such as Facebook and Google, which are important for users abroad.

With the dominance of Google's Android and iOS operating systems outside of China, Huawei will also have a difficult task in persuading users to buy devices that carry the Harmony operating system.
