Pony AI shorted at Grizzly Research; concerns raised over operations
-- Pony Ai Inc (NASDAQ:PONY) stock fell 1%, then rose by over 1%, after Grizzly Research published a critical report questioning the robotaxi company's operations and technology capabilities. The research firm alleged that Pony AI, which went public in November 2024, has "very little to offer" and described it as a "smoke and mirrors show." Among the most serious accusations, Grizzly claimed there are allegations from an apparent insider that the company falsified data for its self-driving software algorithm, with management allegedly aware of and covering up the issue. Grizzly Research conducted on-the-ground testing of Pony's robotaxi service in China, reporting that the company appeared to have "the least pick-up spots, longest waiting time, and overall worse customer experience" compared to competitors like Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) Apollo and WeRide. The report also highlighted regulatory challenges, noting that Pony's permit to conduct driverless autonomous vehicle testing in California was previously revoked following a crash. A similar incident reportedly occurred in China in May 2025, resulting in temporary service suspension in that district. Additionally, Grizzly raised concerns about Pony AI's financial situation, claiming its financials have worsened since its IPO and that a significant portion of its revenue comes from an entity "directly related to the Chinese military." The research firm also noted that U.S. Senators have called for Pony's delisting from U.S. exchanges due to its alleged close ties with the Chinese government. The report comes as Pony AI has recently attracted investor attention due to rumors about former Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) CEO Travis Kalanick's potential interest in the company's U.S. business.

Parents spark fury as they take their baby to a tattoo salon – but it's the kid's name that's got everyone talking
The parents explained the name had a 'sentimental' meaning, as they danced to a song with the same name TATT'S WILD Parents spark fury as they take their baby to a tattoo salon – but it's the kid's name that's got everyone talking A COUPLE have come under fire after taking their baby to a tattoo salon - however, it's the little boy's name that's got everyone talking. Mum and TikToker Morgan Presley, who welcomed the baby in May, explained that she simply didn't ''trust people'' enough to get a babysitter. 2 The parents sparked fury after taking their son to a tattoo salon at just few months old Credit: 2 However, it was the baby's name that got everyone talking Credit: As the two parents were desperate to have their facial piercings changed, they decided to take their baby son to the tattoo salon with them. In the now-viral video, Morgan explained that her son had reached the ''grabby'' stage and was constantly pulling her eyebrow piercings. ''My luck, he would rip them out,'' she said. Knowing she would face backlash, the mum-of-one also said: ''To the people who will say, 'Just get a babysitter' - I don't trust people.'' While the couple were getting their piercings changed to more fitting ones, their son was chilling and peacefully sleeping in the background. However, while the pair were chuffed with their new facial piercings, Morgan and her partner came under fire for taking the little one along to the tattoo salon. One person wondered: ''not hating at all, but in the uk tattoo and piercing shops are 18+, surprised they let your baby in there, is that normal in all parts of usa?'' Another was baffled, writing: ''You don't trust people but you post him online?'' A third critic chimed in: ''Once again people proving they shouldn't be parents.'' But it's not just the day-out at the tattoo salon that sparked a fierce debate - Morgan and her husband were also slammed for naming their baby ''Pony''. Parents warned 3 common summer foods are dangerous to toddlers - and eating a specific fruit can cause nasty sunburn The parents revealed the son's name earlier this year in a video that's since gone viral, admitting that finding a boy that ''excited'' them was ''so hard''. ''Instead of going to baby name lists, we went to our record collection trying to look for a record that kind of spoke to us the most, that had sentimental meaning. ''And that's how we ended up landing on Pony Ramone Presley.'' In the clip, Morgan added that Presley was not his last name - and was intended for ''safety'' reasons. ''On our first date, we danced to this record by Orville Peck which is called Pony.'' Meanwhile, the middle name was inspired by The Ramones - a band the two were ''heavily, heavily listening to'' during the pregnancy journey. 'We are naming future adults not just babies' The boy's name, as adorable as it may be, has not proven to be a major hit amongst concerned social media users, who slammed the parents. One said: ''Giving him a fake last name from his safety doesn't feel very useful lmao. How many Pony Ramones are there?'' Another wrote: ''I've said it once I've said it again we are naming future adults not just babies.'' A third critic chimed in: ''People choose names for their children as if they were choosing a name for a pet.'' ''I'm so happy to live in Germany, where you're not allowed to give your children names that could harm them!'' a viewer from Europe commented.

Dog Returned To Shelter Is Terrified of Kennel—Then Everything Changes
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The moment a shelter dog realized she had to go back to her kennel, stopping in the hallway, reluctant to move, has broken hearts online. Volunteer Kayla Lyman, 28, shared a video of the moment Pony the dog stopped moving when she realized she was heading back to her kennel at West Valley Animal Services, Utah. "This was the first time she resisted going back," Lyman told Newsweek. "We had just been for a walk and spent time in the meet-and-greet room with a peanut butter lick mat and lots of cuddles. When it was time to return, she just sat there. She knew." Estimated to be around 5 years old, Pony has had a tough life so far. After arriving as a stray, she was quickly adopted—but returned just two months later when the adopter was struggling with Pony's enthusiastic jumping. Pictures of Pony when she realized she was going back to her kennel. Pictures of Pony when she realized she was going back to her kennel. @rosieandtheshelterpups/TikTok "She was with her adopter for about two months. She has been back at the shelter now for around two weeks," Lyman said. "She is such an amazing girl with a very tender heart." In 2024, approximately 7 million animals entered U.S. shelters and rescues, according to Shelter Animals Count—an increase of nearly 3 percent from 2023. By the end of the year, 103,000 more pets had entered shelters than had exited, contributing to an ongoing capacity crisis in U.S. shelters. The video of the moment Pony realized she had to go back to her kennel captured hearts on TikTok where people shared their reactions and good wishes for Pony's future. "Hope she gets adopted," said one commenter. While another wrote: "Poor girl, she doesn't want to go back in there." "Poor baby. Prayers for a permanent forever home," said another viewer. In a most recent update, it seems all of the good vibes have worked. Lyman shared the happy news that Pony has found another adopter and is all set for the happy ending she deserves—and hopefully never having to go back to the kennel again. "I hope Pony's adopter is so in love with her and treats her so well," Lyman said. "I love my Pony girl so much and I'm so happy she is out of the shelter."
