Dubbed 'Oopzempic babies', the phenomenon has even led some US physicians to prescribe the jabs off-label to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the leading causes of infertility in women. Jab users have taken to online forums with hundreds of members sharing how they got pregnant thanks to the injections. Experts, however, have warned that conceiving while using the drugs may even 'be harmful' for the developing baby. Specialists suggest slimming down may boost fertility, which is why semaglutiude is being linked to pregnancies. Pictured left, Deb Oliviara, from Michigan, who discovered she was pregnant two months into taking Ozempic.

Tesla has recalled more than 3,000 Cybertrucks to fix an accelerator pedal pad that could come loose and get lodged in the interior trim. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced Friday that the company will replace or repair the accelerator pedal assembly at no charge and owners will be notified through letters mailed to them in June.

Jeff Bezos-backed EV-maker Rivian has cut more of its workforce following 10 percent of its employees laid off earlier this year. The company's shares dropped to one percent on Thursday after news of the layoffs surfaced. Rivian has taken steps to cut costs including halting construction of its $5 billion Georgia production plant.

An ex-NASA physicist tells DailyMail.com that space junk could strip Earth's atmosphere - as Starlink becomes an 'unplanned geoengineering experiment.' Her new study draws on recent estimates that Elon Musk's SpaceX is currently burning up over 2,755 lbs (over 1.3 tons) of its wireless internet satellite debris into Earth's atmosphere every hour - creating a metal layer of 'conductive particulate' in orbit. Although she notes it is an 'extreme case,' such a layer of charged metal dust could lead to 'atmospheric stripping' akin to the ancient fates of Mars and Mercury

Tesla customers are complaining that their Cybertruck deliveries have been canceled with no warning and little explanation, as some have been told the problem involves the accelerator.

Elon Musk has acknowledged that Cybertruck deliveries have been paused - days after Tesla customers customers received shipment cancellations. The billionaire quietly made a statement on X by responding to another post. Buyers of the EV have been frustrated for days about their Cybertruck deliveries being canceled with no warning and little explanation, as some have been told the problem involves the accelerator pedal. This part of the EV has been found to get stuck on the edge of the carpet, which could cause uncontrolled acceleration.

You may imagine the perfect first date should include flowers, candles and perhaps some sultry background music to set the mood. My (Julie Silver, pictured left) first date must-have, however, is something rather different: a list of 20 questions for any potential suitor, enabling me efficiently to weed out any dating duds, and easily identify those precious 'keepers'. Among other things, my dating questionnaire allows me to discover whether my potential Mr Right likes quinoa or chips, is in bed by 9.30pm, like myself, and, vitally, whether he speaks kindly of his mother.

Current Tesla staff have disclosed 'serious safety issues' to an ex-Tesla employee. The ex-Tesla engineer and whistleblower is now suing Tesla for defamation. 'Good engineers,' ex-Tesla engineer says, 'are afraid to say something is wrong'

This is the heartwarming moment a cat was rescued from deep waters following the freak flash flooding and storms that have lashed Dubai over the last two days. In footage shared to X, formerly Twitter, a black and white feline can be seen hanging onto a car door handle as flood waters lap around it. With drenched, flattened fur, the cat is filmed wide-eyed as it looks around at its rescuer - still clinging on to the submerged vehicle. The hero police officer makes his way through the water in a small inflatable boat until he reaches the stranded pet, before leaning over to pull it off the door. But the stunned cat scrambles to keep a hold on to the vehicle, not realising it is being rescued from the murky flood water.

Katherine Maher, 40, noted that the First Amendment provides a 'fairly robust protection of rights,' making it 'a little tricky to address some of the real challenges of where bad information comes from.' These comments were made during an online panel discussion at the 360/Open Summit held by the Atlantic Council in 2021. The clip went viral after whistleblower editor Uri Berliner was suspended for speaking out about the outlet's progressive bias. Berliner announced his resignation on Wednesday, stating, 'I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems I cite in my Free Press essay.'

The pay day, which was decided in 2018, would be the biggest ever in US corporate history. In a setback for Musk, 52, a Delaware judge ruled in January that this deal should be voided. In a 200-page decision, Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware's Court of Chancery said the billionaire controlled the board through his personality and influence.

The typically scorching UAE heavily relies on cloud-seeding - a technique which sees aircraft fire salt flares into clouds to speed up condensation and induce rainfall - to provide its groundwater. Flight-tracking data analysed by the Associated Press showed one aircraft affiliated with the UAE's cloud-seeding efforts flew around the country on Sunday. Meanwhile, Ahmed Habib, a meteorologist at the National Centre for Meteorology (NCM), told Bloomberg several cloud-seeding sorties were flown in the days before the unprecedented rainfall hit. The rains began late on Monday, soaking the sands and roadways of Dubai with some 0.79 inches of rain, according to meteorological data collected at Dubai International Airport. The storms intensified at around 9am local time on Tuesday and continued throughout the day, dumping more rain and hail onto the overwhelmed city. By the end of Tuesday, more than 5.59 inches of rainfall had soaked Dubai over 24 hours. An average year sees 3.73 inches of rain at Dubai International Airport.

Some of the biggest names in crypto, including Wendy O, shown right, and Crypto Bitlord, shown top left, are among the thousands stranded in Dubai as the Emirate endures biblical flooding due to the fact that two conferences were being held in the area at the time the catastrophic storm hit. The scenario prompted one influencer to comment: 'Dubai looking like the Fyre Fest of crypto right now' in reference to the infamous music festival. This past weekend saw both the Blockchain Life and Token2049 conference taking place, the latter was scheduled to run through until April 21 and advertised Telegram CEO Pavel Duvrov as well as Peter McCormack and Dovey Wan as speakers.

Nike CEO John Donahoe (left) has admitted it is 'really hard to do bold, disruptive innovation, to develop a boldly disruptive shoe, on Zoom'. He said the company, which has experienced its first quarterly revenue decline (right) in nearly two years, realized innovation had been lacking at the firm after teams returned to in-person work some 18 months ago. The CEO's remarks come after boss of JD Sports, Regis Schultz, last month blamed Nike's lack of product innovation for weaker sales.

Terrifying videos have emerged from storm-struck Dubai over the last two days that look more like something out of a disaster movie than real life. Clips from people caught in the deluge have shown giant hail stones, flooded buildings, flying furniture and debris crashing through an underpass. The United Arab Emirates yesterday suffered horrendous floods which swamped the airport and many of the surrounding roads, forcing dozens of flights to be cancelled as travellers crammed into the concourse to shelter from the torrential downpour. Other videos shared on social media showed how cars were filled with water, forcing hundreds of motorists to abandon their vehicles and swim to safety. Some cars were completely submerged, with the top of their roofs barely breaking the surface.

From paywalled features to a huge rebrand, its safe to say that X (formerly Twitter ) has completely transformed in the 18 months since Elon Musk took over. Now, the self-proclaimed 'chief twit' has teased his next big change - and it could prove costly. X is planning to start charging all new users a 'small fee' in order to interact with posts, Musk has said. Replying to an account which had posted about the possible changes, the Tesla and SpaceX boss said charging new users to post, like and reply is the 'only way' to stop fake or bot accounts on the platform. The news has not gone down well with many users, with one warning such a change would 'drive millions of people away from the platform.'

The desert city-state yesterday suffered horrendous floods which swamped the airport and many of the surrounding roads, forcing dozens of flights to be cancelled as travellers crammed into the concourse to shelter from the torrential downpour. Shocking videos shared on social media showed how cars were filled with water, forcing hundreds of motorists to abandon their vehicles and swim to safety. Some cars were completely submerged, with the top of their roofs barely breaking the water's surface. Some wealthy drivers in luxury cars bragged of 'floating' their way through the carnage  - but most saw their vehicles stall as they became stuck in the deluge. Rainwater also poured into homes, pushing people out of their houses and into the streets to seek shelter in higher structures. Meanwhile, footage from inside the airport - the world's busiest for international travel - showed passengers sleeping on the floor as others were turned away from the terminal.

After previously insisting she had no interest in using weight-loss injections, Mama June is now giving them a try. The From Not To Hot star revealed plans to begin using the weight loss drug semaglutide in video posted to her Instagram account on Tuesday. June Shannon, 44, said she had gained over 100 pounds from the stress of caring for her now-late daughter Anna Cardwell.

Torrential rain and fierce thunderstorms have continued to lash Dubai, as the country braces itself for a horror night of further flooding and damage with families desperate to escape the chaos forced to sleep on the airport floor. Parts of the UAE were thrown into apocalyptical settings on Tuesday as more than 4.7ins of rain had already fallen by 4pm - making up the typical yearly average. Swarms of travellers have now been left stranded in Dubai Airport - and although they have shelter from the violent storm - they have been stuck in the building for hours on end with no opportunity to leave. According to eyewitnesses who have posted their footage online, there are now hundreds of passengers at the airport, many of whom are with children. The airport has now reportedly closed its doors as the overcrowding reaches uncontrollable levels, with some reports stating that passengers are being turned away from the airport.

Elon Musk 's announcement that Tesla will lay off ten percent of its workforce shocked many but it may be inline with figures that suggest t he global demand for electronic vehicles is slumping across the world. In the first quarter of 2024, the two biggest manufacturers of electronic vehicles, Tesla and its Chinese rival BYD reported dramatic sales drops compared against the same time last year. BYD cut prices on its vehicles across China accompanied with a catchy slogan: 'Electricity is cheaper than oil,' in order to help stem the tide. Since last year, Tesla has also been slashing prices, as much as $20,000 on some models. The price cuts caused used electric vehicle values to drop and clipped Tesla's profit margins. According to a Financial Times report on the slump, legacy car industry leaders have maintained for years that the average consumer isn't ready for electronic cars.

An analysis told DailyMail.com that all Cybertruck deliveries have been put on pause. The recall is due to a potentially fatal issue with the accelerator pedal. Dan Ives, managing director at New York's Wedbush Securities, told DailyMail.com 'We are not confident this will be resolved the next few weeks.' Ives also said it appears that all Cybertruck deliveries have been put on pause. The recall comes after a new Tesla owner shared the design flaw in a video , claiming the pedal cover slipped forward and wedged the accelerator under the interior that was held down 100 percent.

India, home to 1.41billion people, pips China to top spot, with its population having tripled in size since the 60s. Over a third of the world's 8billion residents live in one of the two nations. The US ranks a distant third at around 333million people. For context, that's approximately one billion fewer than 2nd-placed China, which is battling a population slump that has fuelled concerns of an impending 'disaster' for the economic superpower. The Pacific island of Tuvalu, meanwhile, has 124,000 times fewer people (11,312), according to World Bank data spanning 1960 to 2022.

Tesla, which is led by billionaire Elon Musk (pictured), has been hit by subdued demand for electric vehicles and a price war with Chinese rivals. Tesla has an estimated 140,000 employees, which means as many as 14,000 are set to lose their jobs - with hundreds of roles potentially being lost in the UK.

'This will enable us to be lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle,' Musk also said in the company-wide memo.
