Musk says will step down as Twitter CEO once successor found

13 Sept 12:27 Key points summarised by AI

Elon Musk announced his intention to resign as Twitter CEO once a replacement is found, stating he will then oversee only the software and server teams.
This decision appears to be a direct response to a Twitter poll where 57% of users voted for him to step down from the leadership role.
Musk's controversial tenure since acquiring Twitter for $44 billion has been marked by mass layoffs, policy reversals, the reinstatement of banned accounts, and the suspension of journalists.
The move is seen by analysts as a positive development for Tesla investors, as Musk's focus on Twitter had coincided with a significant decline in Tesla's stock value and a substantial exodus of advertisers from Twitter.

Examining Thailand’s four-part education revolution

Today 14:22 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Education Ministry is implementing a four-pronged strategy to address its students' below-average performance in PISA 2025 and tackle significant educational inequality.
The plan prioritizes closing performance gaps by increasing funding for small and low-income schools, overhauling the curriculum to foster critical thinking, and adopting a data-driven management system to reduce teacher workload.
Key initiatives include enhancing school safety, combating cyberbullying, and expanding mental health support through peer-to-peer networks, recognizing the severe impact of distress on academic performance.
An education expert advises verifying if PISA improvements stem from structural changes, advocating for a revived STEM curriculum with practical 'learn by doing' methods, and urging bureaucratic reform to link teacher evaluations to student development.
