Elon Musk has suggested he could buy Ryanair and called for its chief executive to be fired amid a deepening spat between the pair. The budget airline on Tuesday branded the Tesla chief executive an idiot, and used the extraordinary row to promote its January sale. Musk and Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary have been trading insults over the past week after O'Leary rejected the idea of using Musk's Starlink technology to provide wi-fi on flights. The two are among the world's most outspoken business chiefs, with Musk the world's richest man with an estimated net worth of $769bn (£573bn), and O'Leary running Europe's busiest airline. A statement on Ryanair's X account on Tuesday evening said: Perhaps Musk needs a break?? Ryanair is launching a Great Idiots seat sale especially for Elon and any other idiots on'X'.

Some cafes put dressed mannequins in poses as if they were buying products or sipping coffee at counters in their empty businesses.

On Monday, restaurants and cafes can start offering takeout. Non-essential shops can reopen on May 18 if Italy's rate of contagion with COVID-19 doesn't sharply rise again.

In the contemporary world, artificial intelligence is amongst our grasp. An intelligence that can process more information at speeds that weren't previously conceivable. It is not that the idea behind AI is a new one. While AI has been around since centuries, it has never had the scope of application that it does today. For instance, consider a scenario where we can ask the Google Assistant to find restaurants near me.
