The Morning After: A '70 percent' chance Musk will move to Mars
Or, 30 percent chance he'll stay here...
Welcome to this Cyber Monday morning. Elon Musk thinks there's a big chance he'd move to Mars, there's a hotel with a gadget ban poolside and Drake's Fortnite account might have been hacked.
Elon Musk says there's a '70 percent' chance he'll move to Mars
In an interview for the Axios on HBO documentary series, SpaceX (and Tesla's) Elon Musk said there was a "70 percent" chance he'll go to Mars. There have been a "recent number of breakthroughs" that would make it possible, he said. Beyond his company's own Starship, advances in habitat-and-food science and technology are making life on Mars increasingly viable. Slowly, but surely.
Mobile internet is faster than WiFi in 33 countries
OpenSignal has conducted a study showing that mobile data is faster on average than WiFi hotspots in 33 countries, including multiple African, European, Latin American and Middle Eastern nations.

Ayana Resort & Spa is only going to enforce a gadget ban at its River Pool between the hours of 9AM to 5PM during what it hopes will become a "haven for guests." The resort will install signs around the pool as well as offering lockers where people can safely store their devices and pick them up after their tech-free chill session.

However, whoever was using that account was very clearly not Drake.
