After metaverse, Zuckerberg invests tens of billions into 'superintelligence'
Meta generates enough staggering profits to make massive investments in artificial intelligence (AI). That was Wall Street's verdict on Wednesday, July 30, after the tech giant, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, released its quarterly results. The share price soared by more than 11% in after-hours trading, reaching $780 (€682). The company was trading at just one-ninth of this value in fall 2022, when its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, was pouring billions of dollars into the metaverse, a three-dimensional virtual future that has yet to materialize, and letting Instagram fall behind the Chinese app TikTok. All that is now a distant memory, with revenue up 22% in the second quarter compared with the previous year and net profit up 36%. The numbers are dizzying: Over the past 12 months, Meta posted $71.5 billion (€63 billion) in profit – compared with $16 billion for French energy giant TotalEnergies or $14 billion for luxury conglomerate LVMH – on $179 billion in revenue. This momentum will enable the company to invest nearly $70 billion in 2025, $30 billion more than the previous year.

Posts falsely claim new Philippine law taxes bank savings
"Savings in banks now have a 20 percent tax," reads the overlaid text on an image of Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, shared in a July 16, 2025 post on X with more than 1,400 shares. "This is something else. Isn't this discouraging people from saving up? Let me just take out my 345 pesos (US$6) now before it gets taxed hahaha!" the caption says. Recto is a key figure in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s economic team, whose members were retained despite a cabinet revamp aimed at reviving his administration's popularity after disappointing midterm election results (archived link). Image Screenshot of the false Facebook post captured on July 29, 2025, with a red X added by AFP Similar posts circulated across social media, drawing concerns from users who believed the government had begun taxing all personal savings. "It's already hard to save, and now they're imposing a 20 percent tax?" one user said. Another commented: "Let's just put our money in a piggy bank. Recto is out of his mind." Taxing interest income The posts surfaced nearly two weeks after the Capital Market Efficiency Promotion Act (CMEPA) -- -- took effect in July (archived link). But Carina Laforteza, head tax lawyer at SyCipLaw firm, said the law does not "impose a new tax on savings per se, as only the interest income -- not the principal -- is subject to tax" (archived link). Laforteza explained that a 20 percent final withholding tax on interest income ith some exemptions: foreign currency deposit unit (FCDU) accounts were taxed at 15 percent, while long-term deposits of five years or more were exempt (archived link). "CMEPA removed these exceptions," she said. The Department of Finance (DOF) also rebuffed the false posts in a July 17 statement, clarifying it does not impose a new levy on money saved but standardises the tax rate on interest income to correct an "unfair system that favoured the wealthy" (archived link). It noted that the law is not retroactive, so time deposits made before July 1 will continue to enjoy the preferential tax rates until maturity. Mon Abrea, the chief tax advisor of Asian Consulting Group, said the removal of the tax exemption "brings both gains and drawbacks" (archived link). "While it boosts government revenue, it also increases the tax burden on depositors, especially conservative, middle-income savers who relied on long-term deposits as a safe, tax-free option," he told AFP on July 29. "With the exemption gone, these products lose their financial appeal." Terence Conrad Bello, a lawyer with the taxation and commercial law firm Baniqued & Bello, said the repeal "will obviously create a disincentive for long-term savings" and will "likely dampen the market" (archived link). Laforteza noted that while some may continue with long-term deposits despite the removal of tax exemptions, others might turn to alternatives with higher returns or lower taxes. "If a person is a 'saver', the removal of the tax incentive should not affect [their] decision to save, but it may affect where the savings are made," she added. AFP has previously debunked claims about Philippine economic policies here and here.

Posts mislead on Toyota's hydrogen-powered cars
'Toyota has just changed the game! A WATER ENGINE That Will DESTROY the EV industry! In a groundbreaking move that could redefine the global automotive industry, Toyota has unveiled an engine powered by water – running on hydrogen produced through electrolysis!' This is how a Facebook post from June 21, 2025, begins. The post further claims that the supposed engine would not use lithium, would not require charging stations, and would emit only water vapor. 'With this move, Toyota is not just competing with electric vehicles but is announcing the end of the battery era,' reads another post from July 11, 2025. Similar claims appear in many other Facebook posts – for example here, here and here – shared thousands of times on the platform. The claim spread previously on other social networks such as Telegram -- here and here, TikTok, YouTube, as well as in online articles such as this one. False and misleading claims like the Bulgarian one are circulating in many other languages, including English, and have been seen by millions of users worldwide across social media platforms. In a race for zero emissions cars that pits electric vehicles (EVs) against hydrogen ones, the claim that water instead of fuel can be used to power cars, has resurfaced sporadically over the past decades, but has never been supported by factual evidence. A handful of Bulgarian inventors are sometimes mentioned in relation to the supposed creation of a water‑fuelled engine, but there is no verified evidence that such a technology has ever existed. Such claims fuel and accusations that the automotive and oil industries deliberately conceal "revolutionary" technologies to preserve their profits, either by buying up and hiding patents or by allegedly making their inventors , as explained in this article on the Bulgarian fact-checking platform (archive). The claim, however, is false. Toyota told AFP that the company is not developing a 'water engine' and described the claim as 'fake news.' Experts also explained that such a system would be inefficient and very difficult to implement in real-world conditions. The Japanese car manufacturer produces vehicles that use hydrogen as fuel; the vehicles are at specialized stations and are equipped with lithium-ion batteries. The claim was also debunked by the Australian fact-checking platform AAP FactCheck. Image Screenshots of Facebook posts spreading false information. Taken on 28 July 2025. The red crisscrossing lines were added by AFP Toyota is not developing a 'water engine.' 'We are indeed not developing anything that could be described as a 'water engine,' said Jean-Yves Jault, from the Toyota Motor Corporation, in an email to AFP on July 23. Jault described the claims as 'fake news", mainly in dubious Facebook posts likely created to generate engagement by spreading false but sensational content, and referred to a Forbes article that debunks the claim. The author of that article is Robert Rapier, a chemical engineer, who explains that water is not a fuel but a product of hydrogen combustion, which is the actual source of energy. 'The idea that water can power a car is absurd,' he writes. The process of electrolysis Electrolysis i when water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The process requires a significant amount of electricity and is efficient only when there is a stable power source. Electrolysis does not release energy – it consumes it in order to produce hydrogen, which can later be used as fuel to power vehicles. T Experts say that water is not used as fuel who works with his students on hydrogen fuel cell projects, that the hydrogen used as fuel is not produced on board the vehicle. 'All of these vehicles generate electricity in fuel cells that use pure hydrogen preloaded in tanks,' he stated in an email from July 7. 'I am not aware of any such vehicle, and even theoretically it would be extremely inefficient and impractical,' he added. 'It is technically possible to use electrolysis to utilize residual energy from a moving vehicle, but it is economically unjustified,' said Prof. Dr. Eng. Boriana Tsaneva from the Technical University of Sofia in an email to AFP on July 7, 2025. According to her, this is due not only to the high cost and additional weight of the electrolysis cell and its control electronics but also the generation of an explosive gas mixture that cannot be stored and must be fed into the fuel system immediately after being produced and the negligible amount of usable energy generated when the gas mixture is burned. Water as a cooling medium (and byproduct?) The Toyota Mirai is a mass-produced vehicle that uses a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity, which powers an electric motor (archives here and here). The vehicle is refueled at high-pressure specialized stations, and the only by-product of converting hydrogen into electricity is water vapor. The vehicle does not have an electrolysis system to produce hydrogen from water. It is also equipped with a lithium-ion battery. As part of its long-term vision for carbon-neutral mobility, Toyota is pursuing a multi-pathway strategy that includes hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen combustion engines, and the development of solid-state batteries Toyota also uses electrolysis to produce hydrogen at some of its facilities, but this process takes place externally and not inside its vehicles. Battery electric vehicles currently dominate the zero-emission market due to lower costs, better energy efficiency, and more developed charging infrastructure. However, hydrogen cars are seen by some car manufacturers, including Toyota, as a complementary solution for heavy-duty transport and long-distance travel, though their widespread adoption faces challenges from high costs and limited refueling networks. Industry analysts widely expect that zero-emission transport will involve a mix of technologies – with batteries remaining the main option for most passenger cars, while hydrogen may play a niche role in sectors like heavy trucks and industrial transport (archive). AFP has previously debunked other claims alleging the existence of cars that run on water here and here.
