🇺🇸 Elon just locked in a deal to buy Cursor for $60 billion. SpaceX has the option to acquire Anysphere, Cursor's parent company, before the end of the year. If they walk away, SpaceX still pays $10 billion "for their work together," basically one of the largest termination fees in history. Which tells you they have no intention of backing out. Cursor does $2 billion in annualized revenue and its users are mostly elite software engineers, exactly the kind of customer base Elon wants heading into SpaceX's summer IPO. The combined group is expected to hit $1.75 trillion at listing, the largest flotation ever. @elonmusk now has space, satellites, AI, social media, and the world's most popular coding tool under one roof. What he's cooking up will be wild. Source: Financial Times

Ferrari has released a new video of the interior for its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. It was designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive, who recently said "a large touchscreen doesn't work in a car." Car info: • Four-door four-seater • 122 kWh battery • 330 miles of range (European rating methods) • 1,000 horsepower • 0-60mph: Under 2.5s • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Guess cluster screen is made up of several layers. By cutting out holes in the upper layers, Ferrari created displays where the speedometer graphic is below the level of a physical needle, which is itself behind additional drive info and beneath a curved inset lens. • Will have fake gear shifts • Weight: 5,100 lbs

SpaceX is preparing to launch next-generation Starlink V3 satellites using Starship. These satellites can handle massive data, with up to 1 Tbps downlink and 160 Gbps uplink speeds. With Starship, many V3 satellites can be launched at once, helping build a faster global internet network.

Real change often starts in a field. In Kyegegwa and Kikuube, Uganda's horticulture sector holds real promise. But for many women, youth, and refugees, that promise has long been out of reach. A skills gap, lack of market-relevant training, and limited access to inputs and buyers have kept too many people on the sidelines of an economy they could help to grow. The Agriculture Growth and Innovation for Livelihood Enhancement (AGILE) Project is working to close that gap. By aligning vocational training with what the agribusiness market actually needs, we are supporting a shift from traditional aid towards sustainable livelihoods driven by the private sector and the communities themselves. Here is what that looks like on the ground: Quality Inputs: Farmers are accessing certified horticulture seeds, seedlings, and tools that give their harvests a real chance of meeting both local and international market standards. Extension Services: Agronomic support is going directly into communities. Field agents are working alongside farmers, offering practical, relevant guidance on everything from crop management to post-harvest handling. Skills and TVET Certification: Vocational training co-designed with the market is giving farmers and young agripreneurs something tangible: nationally recognized TVET certificates that open doors to employment, enterprise, and dignity. Access to Markets: Farmers are being connected to verified buyers and supported to meet Rainforest Alliance and EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) standards, putting premium markets genuinely within reach for the first time. At ThinkIT Limited, we believe that technology and skills go hand in hand. Being part of a consortium that is putting both to work for communities that have long been overlooked is something we do not take lightly. This is what learning and earning, together, can look like. 🤝 Partners in Progress The AGILE Project is implemented by GIZ through the #WE4D programme, in close partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development Uganda. It is overseen by a consortium led by War Child Alliance, in collaboration with Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU), thinkIT Limited, African Women and Youth Action for Development (AWYAD), and Planning for Tomorrow (P4T). This initiative is a flagship of the #GlobalGateway, made possible through the European Union Delegation to Uganda and #Germany funding, as part of the TEI OP-VET: Team Europe Initiative, Opportunity-driven Skills and Vocational Education and Training in Africa. To the farmers, the communities, and every partner showing up for this work, thank you. #AGILE #HorticultureUganda #ThinkITLimited

Did you know that Innovation is the engine of progress? Research shows that 79% of breakthrough innovations fail in their first year, yet organizations that systematically invest in innovative thinking are 30% more likely to outperform competitors. The key is solving real problems in smarter ways, not just creating new ideas.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing everyone celebrating a joyous and peaceful Eid. May this special day bring reflection, gratitude, and renewed hope to you and your loved ones. #EidMubarak #ThinkITLimited
