🚗 Hey, Musk! Wanna Buy a Hyundai Car? //
This year, the South Korean carmakers presented two new EVs — the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6.
The two models quickly climbed to the top of US EV sales. Hyundai and Kia sold 21,467 of these two machines, besting even the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which was snapped up by 15,718 drivers.
Tesla still sells far more cars, but it took the company a decade to deliver as many electric vehicles as Hyundai and Kia have managed in a few short months. Being quite impressed by such a success, Musk twitted "Hyundai is doing pretty well".
The Ioniq 5 and EV6 both offer the cargo space of a small SUV, favoured by US customers. Both cars ride on the same modular platform, incorporate the same motors and batteries and post similar speed specifications.

🥺 Bitcoin or Bitcoin? That is the question //
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele remains certain about his nation's his bet on cryptocurrencies, despite the recent selloff in the markets.
This Thursday the government bought another 80 BTC at the cost of $19,000 each, according to a tweet from Bukele. That brings the total amount the nation spent buying Bitcoin since it was approved as legal tender last year to $106.3 million, according to calculations by Bloomberg based on Bukele’s tweets.
These holdings are now worth about $45.8 million, implying a 57% loss.
El Salvador’s gamble on Bitcoin is exacerbating a debt crisis. The country has been struggling to deal with wide fiscal deficits as an $800 million bond comes due in January.
