格隆汇1月11日｜据《商业内幕》，特斯拉马斯克日前表示，若他对未来的预测成真，为退休存钱将变得“毫无意义”。他预言AI将帮助创造资源“富足”的世界，人们可以拥有任何想要的东西，并享有优质医疗和教育服务。“我有个建议：别担心要为10年 20年后的退休存钱，”马斯克在最新一集《Moonshots with Peter Diamandis》的Podcast节目上说，“那不重要了。” 这位身价超过6000...
格隆汇1月11日｜据《商业内幕》，特斯拉马斯克日前表示，若他对未来的预测成真，为退休存钱将变得“毫无意义”。他预言AI将帮助创造资源“富足”的世界，人们可以拥有任何想要的东西，并享有优质医疗和教育服务。“我有个建议：别担心要为10年 20年后的退休存钱，”马斯克在最新一集《Moonshots with Peter Diamandis》的Podcast节目上说，“那不重要了。” 这位身价超过6000亿美元的全球首富描绘了一个未来景象：AI、能源和机器人技术的进步将大幅提升生产力，创造资源“富足”的环境，让所有人都能获得“普遍高收入”。马斯克说，在美好的未来中，任何人都能拥有想要的东西，包括比现在更优质的医疗照护，而且5年内人人都能享有。商品和服务不会短缺，人们可以免费学习任何想学的东西。 不过他也警告，通往这个乌托邦世界的过渡期将会颠簸不平，会出现剧烈变化和社会动荡。他还提出另一个问题：当人们真的得到所有想要的东西时，可能会失去人生目标，因为工作将不再重要。 但《商业内幕》分析却指出，马斯克对富足未来的美好愿景可能看起来像一厢情愿，甚至可能是危险的建议，因为如果人们因此停止储蓄，但世界并未如他预期改变，他们退休后将陷入困境。

The central bank of the Democratic Republic of Congo said it plans to continue intervening in the foreign exchange market to curb currency speculation. The bank said it sold $50 million to commercial lenders on Jan. 8 and will conduct another sale on Monday. “There have been certain tensions in the parallel market segment, attributable to speculative behavior linked to negative expectations on the part of some economic operators,” the bank said in a statement late Saturday. The current level of the bank’s reserves “gives it a strong and sustained capacity to intervene in the foreign-exchange market,” the Kinshasa-based institution added.
Assailants detonated bombs at nearly a dozen petrol stations in Thailand’s south early Sunday, injuring four people, the army said, the latest attacks in the insurgency-hit region.

Its sausage rolls are idolized on socks and T-shirts, and its thousands of shops make it Britain’s most unmissable baker. But Greggs Plc is showing the strain of expansion, and investors are piling up bets against it. The maker of steak bakes suffered its worst stock performance in 2025, a 40% drop driven by slower sales growth and signs stretched consumers were reacting to higher prices by trimming what for many was a daily habit. It ended the year as the most-shorted UK stock. Greggs disappointed again Thursday with fourth-quarter sales that analysts said pointed to a drop in volumes. Its shares slumped. It’s a dramatic mood shift after a meteoric rise. Shareholders are increasingly asking if Chief Executive Officer Roisin Currie , who took over in 2022, can or should try to keep up the pace of expansion. In an apparent nod to the pressure, Greggs said it’s now past the peak of capital expenditure, with outlays due to reduce significantly this year and again in 2027. “There is a limit to the number of stores that you can open before you start cannibalizing or move into areas where the demand isn’t there,” said Peter Backman, a consultant in the food service industry. “It’s not imminent, but it’s definitely on the horizon.” Growth Spurt Founded in 1939 as a one-man food delivery service in northern England, Greggs spent decades as a traditional baker before morphing into its current “food on the go” model in 2013. Sales hit £1 billion ($1.3 billion) in 2018 and £2 billion six years later. It has over 2,600 stores with current plans to exceed 3,000 — its expanded logistics capacity could handle 3,500, according to the company.

Its vegan sausage rolls were a national talking point when they were introduced in 2019, and Greggs did a collaboration with a...
