Forget Anker, Baseus MagSafe Portable Charger Is Practically Free as Amazon Offers It at Almost 50% Off

If you've ever found yourself juggling a low phone battery, a tangle of cords, and a bulky power bank, you know how frustrating on-the-go charging can be. First you have to make sure your charger is ready to go. Then you have to make sure you actually have a cable. Because chances are when you need one, it's nowhere to be found. That's exactly the kind of daily headache this currently discounted charger was made specifically to resolve. And you can act fast to get one right now for a great price. See at Amazon Head to Amazon right now to get the Baseus Picogo Portable Charger for $40, down from its usual price of $70. That's $30 off and a discount of 43%. There's a lot to love about this charger, and its smaller size is definitely one of the things you'll appreciate. It's MagSafe-compatible, which means it attaches magnetically to supported iPhones and starts charging instantly, so there's no need to fumble with cables or ports. If you don't use MagSafe or have other devices, that's no problem either. The Picogo also comes with two built-in cables, one USB-C and one Lightning, which are both tucked neatly into its sides. That means you can charge your phone, tablet, or earbuds straight out of your pocket or bag, no cords required. Despite its slim form factor, this little charger still packs 10,000mAh of juice, enough to recharge most phones at least twice. That's more than enough for a day trip, a weekend away, or a long day of meetings where a wall outlet isn't always in reach. The LED display on the side gives you an exact battery percentage, so you're never caught off guard, and the fast-charging output (up to 20W wired, 15W wireless) makes sure you're topped off quickly when time is short. It's also TSA-compliant, so you can toss it in your carry-on without any airport hassles. Whether you're a frequent traveler, a student bouncing between classes, or someone who just likes to be prepared, the Picogo is a smart and stylish way to stay charged. Deals on all-in-one chargers with built-in cables and magnetic charging aren't always this generous, especially ones that blend performance with portability this well. And consider the fact also that, while on sale, it's just $40. If you've been waiting for a grab-and-go battery pack that doesn't weigh you down or require extra gear, this is your sign to pick one up. Or get two and keep one in your bag and one in your car.

Elon Musk Announces Launch of New Business Venture

It's official: Tesla is in the robotaxi industry. After revealing that Tesla would begin rolling out autonomous cabs this year, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk announced the company is officially launching it's robotaxi service on Sunday, June 22. In a post on X, Musk revealed that the robotaxis will debut in Austin, Texas, and customers will pay a flat fee of $4.20. "The (Tesla AI) robotaxi launch begins in Austin this afternoon with customers paying a $4.20 flat fee!" Musk exclaimed. With the launch, Tesla will now look to make up ground on Waymo, which is the current king of the industry. Waymo claims to have taken 10 million paid rides in all and services several major cities, including Austin, where Tesla is debuting on Sunday. Meanwhile, Amazon is also expected to get into the industry this year. The mega corporation spent $1.2 billion to acquire Zoox about five years ago and it has since built a plant in Silicon Valley that is expected to produce 10,000 robotaxis per year. However, Amazon and Zoox are not as far along as Waymo and Tesla, with the duo set to begin its service in Las Vegas later this year, and then in San Francisco next Musk Announces Launch of New Business Venture first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 22, 2025 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Forbes Daily: All Eyes On Iran's Response To U.S. Strike On Nuclear Sites

Move over, Tesla. There's a new player taking aim at Waymo's robotaxi dominance: Amazon. Amazon's Zoox plans to launch its commercial ride service in Las Vegas later this year, with cities like Atlanta, San Francisco and Austin to follow. And its custom-designed car stands out from competitors: It has no steering wheel, pedals or external mirrors, but it does include sliding doors similar to those of subway trains, and can operate bidirectionally. Even though Zoox's vehicle costs more than a typical electric car, its key to profitability is a long service life and the ability to provide dozens of rides a day, according to CEO Aicha Evans. As it scales up production, Zoox already appears to be closer to Waymo than Tesla, which faces criticism over safety.

SMITH/AFP via Getty Images The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog early Monday said the U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities Sunday likely caused 'very significant damage' to Iran's underground operations at Fordow. While Trump Administration officials downplayed any interest in having 'boots on the ground' or a 'regime change' in Iran, President Donald Trump himself raised the idea of a regime change on Truth Social hours later. MORE : Democrats and some Republicans criticized the operation, arguing such a military action without Congress' approval was unconstitutional, while international leaders have widely called for deescalation, including criticism from Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the time of writing early Monday, Israel had launched a fresh wave of strikes on Tehran and other targeted sites.

Cancer diagnostics company Caris Life Sciences debuted on the Nasdaq last week, minting its founder David Dean Halbert a new billionaire, with an estimated net worth of at least $3.3 billion. The company, which uses gene sequencing, AI and machine learning to detect and monitor disease, is one of the largest life sciences companies to go public in a tough market this year. TECH + INNOVATION Web traffic from Google search results is drying up, thanks to AI-powered results that often answer a user's question without them needing to visit another website. But this ' Game of Thrones '-level power shift in the online content space has created an opening for a wave of startups like Profound, which aims to help customers like U.S. Bank and Docusign appear in AI-generated responses. As Scale AI's bombshell deal with Meta continues to reverberate across the industry, a familiar giant is stepping into the data-labeling void: Uber.

TRENDS + EXPLAINERS President Donald Trump's crackdown on foreign student enrollment is putting a number of for-profit colleges at risk. Forbes identified 16 private universities that are particularly vulnerable, as they all rely on foreign students to fill at least a third of their enrollment, while counting on tuition and fees to make up at least half of their operating revenues. The schools—including St. Francis College in Brooklyn and the Illinois Institute of Technology—were already financially weak to begin with, scoring poorly on Forbes' most recent college financial health ranking. DAILY COVER STORY The 50 Richest Self-Made Women On Earth FROM LEFT: MELANIE PERKINS/CANVA; OPRAH WINFREY/CHRIS PIZZELLO/AP; RAFAELA DIAMONT-APONTE/ALAIN DENANTES/GAMMA RAPHO/GETTY IMAGES It's never been a better time for women entrepreneurs—at least by the numbers. There are now an estimated 658 million female founders and company owners worldwide, compared to 772 million men, per the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Nearly two-thirds are early stage entrepreneurs, compared to less than half of their male counterparts. As a nod to the triumphs and challenges for this cohort, for the first time ever, Forbes has compiled a standalone global ranking of the world's 50 richest self-made women. These ceiling breakers—who have made their fortunes in everything from collagen to coal—hail from 13 nations and four continents (there are currently none from Africa or South America). Altogether they are worth $276 billion, or $5.5 billion on average. That's $10 billion less than what the top 50 were worth at their peak in 2021, but $158 billion higher than in 2017—the first year Forbes tracked that many self-made women. The richest self-made woman in the world is Swiss shipping magnate Rafaela Aponte-Diamant, with a net worth of $38.8 billion. At a distant No. 2 is America's Diane Hendricks, (estimated net worth: $22.3 billion) cofounder of ABC Supply, one of the biggest distributors of roofing, siding and more. She is one of 18 Americans in the top 50, including such high-profile women as Oprah Winfrey and Sheryl Sandberg. Admission to this elite, 50-member club is $2.1 billion, meaning high-profile executives and entrepreneurs like SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell, Spanx's Sara Blakely, and celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift simply aren't rich enough—for now. WHY IT MATTERS While more women are moving into entrepreneurship than ever before, there is still a vast gap between men and women in terms of their level of success, at least as measured by their personal net worths. The world's 50 richest self-made men are worth $3.8 trillion, 14 times as much as the 50 wealthiest females. Still, there is plenty of reason for optimism—starting with the fact that self-made women now make up 3.5% of the entire billionaire set, a small percentage but about 50% higher than their share back in 2017.

While unpredictability is often the defining marker of a crisis, leaders can and should prepare by laying the groundwork in advance for how their teams will respond to a cyberattack or supply chain disruption. Strong, clear communication when the stakes are lower helps ensure smooth operation during stressful times.
