Former President Trump is railing against Twitter CEO Elon Musk for telling Fox News's Tucker Carlson that he voted for President Biden in 2020. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday that he does not believe “for a minute” that Musk voted for Biden in 2020, alleging that Musk told him he voted for him. “Elon is just trying to make friends with the absolutely horrible Biden Administration because of all the government subsidies he gets, and all the permits he needs,” Trump said. SpaceX and Tesla, both of which Musk leads, have reportedly received millions of dollars in federal subsidies. “I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. I actually voted for Biden. Not saying I’m a huge fan of Biden because I would think that probably would be inaccurate,” Musk told Carlson in a Fox News interview that partially aired on Monday. Musk said presidential elections pose a “difficult” decision and he would prefer a candidate who is a “normal person with common sense and whose value...

Netflix will end its DVD service after 25 years

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:46:12 GMT

Call up your Luddite loved ones and your nostalgic friends who still cherish physical media. After 25 years, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail business.Before it was upending the entertainment industry and ushering in the streaming era, Netflix was a company whose business model revolved around sending DVDs through the mail in easily recognizable red-and-white envelopes. At its peak, in 2010, roughly 20 million subscribed to the DVD service. But the practice has long felt anachronistic, and the company said Tuesday that it will ship its final DVDs to customers on Sept. 29.How many customers? Netflix doesn’t break out those numbers anymore. But whoever they are, it’s time for them to dust off any DVDs they might have lying around and send their red envelopes back to Los Gatos, California, where they can be retired to the landfills for good.“Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift to streaming,” the comp...
