Former Metaverse Products Group lead Gabriel Aul. Leon Bennett/Getty Images for 20th Century Studios Gabriel Aul, who led the Metaverse Products Group, retired and left Meta earlier this year. Aul announced his retirement after a few months on the job and was replaced by Saxs Persson. Meta has poured billions into its Metaverse efforts, but has shifted investment towards AI. Meta's metaverse division has a new leader — again. The latest executive shuffle inside Reality Labs comes as Meta continues to scale back parts of its metaverse ambitions and pour billions into AI, raising questions about where the company's virtual-world strategy fits in its future. Gabriel Aul, who had served as the head of the metaverse products group since October of last year, announced his retirement after a few months on the job in February, according to a memo obtained by Business Insider. "Even though we will still have Gabe for a few more months, please join me in wishing him all the best in his much deserved retirement," Meta's chief technical officer, Andrew Bosworth, wrote in the note. Aul, the former Metaverse unit head, was replaced by Saxs Persson, a former Epic Games executive who joined Meta in the October reshuffle, according to the memo. Aul briefly stayed on at Meta in an advisory role and fully left Meta last month, his LinkedIn shows. The previous top metaverse executive, Vishal Shah, left in the October 2025 reorganization for a top position inside Meta's superintelligence effort. Meta's big bet on the metaverse hasn't quite worked out, despite billions of dollars in spending. In March, Meta conducted substantial layoffs across the Reality Labs division, which oversees the metaverse. The company also shut down support for its virtual world Horizon earlier this year on its virtual reality headsets, only to reverse that decision later, according to an Instagram post from CTO Bosworth. Meta hasn't given up on the metaverse. A spokesperson pointed Business Insider to comments from Bosworth saying that the metaverse is not limited to Horizon Worlds, but about blending digital and physical worlds to "define the next computing platform." Meta has shifted much of its investment into AI, doubling capital expenditures to $125 billion to $145 billion this year. Aul didn't respond to a request for comment. Aul was one of the top two executives in charge of Meta's metaverse efforts alongside Ryan Cairns, who was appointed to lead Horizon in October. The memo announcing Aul's departure also says that Persson will "fully take over" as the head of Horizon. It makes no mention of the Metaverse unit once headed by Aul.

Tesla did not say whether its latest service area expansion in Austin will include more vehicles added to the fleet. Tim Goessman/Bloomberg via Getty Images Tesla on Wednesday said it expanded the coverage area in Austin for unsupervised robotaxis. The company didn't say if it was adding more vehicles within the service zone. Tesla's fleet in Austin has mostly remained stagnant, with records showing 42 vehicles on the road. Tesla is expanding the service area for unsupervised robotaxis in Austin as it continues to play catch-up with competitors. The company said in an X post on Wednesday that robotaxi rides without a human operator inside the vehicle are now available in the "entire Austin Metro area." The move comes about six months after Tesla began removing human monitors who watch for safety incidents in several vehicles. Removing the monitor marked an important milestone as it showed Tesla has become more confident in its self-driving technology. Unsupervised Robotaxi now in the entire Austin Metro area https://t.co/eXNBdarvVS — Tesla Robotaxi (@robotaxi) June 3, 2026 Tesla did not say whether the new coverage area will also come with more unsupervised cars. As with any ride-hailing company, growing the fleet size would be critical to reducing wait times and making the service more reliable. Tesla Robotaxi users have previously reported how the app can experience volatile ETAs. On a Wednesday afternoon, the Tesla Robotaxi app told San Francisco-based users that it was experiencing "high service demand." Tesla also hasn't significantly expanded its robotaxi fleet in Austin since it was first rolled out last June to much fanfare, with Tesla devotees flying out to Texas to experience the new service. The company initially launched Robotaxi with a human monitor in the front passenger seat. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last year that Robotaxi would launch in Austin with 10 to 20 vehicles. The company aimed for 500 robotaxis in Austin by the end of 2025, he said. Records from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles showed the company has 42 registered cars in the state as of Wednesday. A third-party robotaxi tracking website indicated that about 21 unsupervised cars were active. Waymo, which launched its Austin service with Uber last March, has 619 registered AVs, state records showed. Expanding a fleet and coverage zones for autonomous cars comes with its own challenges. While Waymo expanded its service to six new cities this year, the company recently experienced service interruptions across the country due to weather and construction challenges. A Tesla spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Read the original article on Business Insider

Smoke was rising from the St. Petersburg oil terminal in the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike. Satellite image ©2026 Vantor. Ukrainian forces carried out strikes on a major oil terminal in St. Petersburg on Wednesday. Satellite images show the aftermath of the attack, as well as a damaged warship at a nearby port. The Ukrainian strikes came on the opening day of Russia's "Davos" equivalent, a few miles away. New satellite imagery captures an oil terminal burning and fire crews tending to a damaged warship near St. Petersburg after Ukrainian forces struck the city during the opening day of Russia's Davos. The Ukrainian military said Wednesday that it carried out strikes on the St. Petersburg oil terminal, the nearby Kronstadt naval port, and other military-linked targets in Russia. Imagery captured by the US spatial intelligence firm Vantor shows a large plume of smoke at the oil terminal, which is a major facility for Russian fuel exports to the Baltic Sea. It sits nearly 700 miles from the Ukrainian border. The terminal on May 8. Satellite image ©2026 Vantor. Smoke was rising from the St. Petersburg oil terminal in the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike. Satellite image ©2026 Vantor. Ukrainian officials have said that repeated strikes on Russia's energy sector are part of a long-running campaign designed to deny Moscow of critical export revenue used to support its war efforts. They also wield psychological power. A month ago, Kyiv agreed not to attack near the Kremlin during the annual Victory Day parade overseen by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian military said the St. Petersburg oil terminal is one of the "largest transshipment complexes for petroleum products" in the Baltic region. Additional imagery shared with Business Insider shows the damaged Steregushchy-class corvette Boikiy in a dry dock at Kronstadt, along with fire crews tending to the burning warship with high-pressure water cannons. Kronstadt is an island near St. Petersburg in the Gulf of Finland. Fire crews spray water on the damaged warship. Satellite image ©2026 Vantor. Footage shared by the Ukrainian military shows one drone targeting the corvette, with another capturing a fire after an initial strike. The Boikiy was commissioned in 2013 and had escorted Russian so-called "shadow fleet" vessels that transport sanctioned oil before entering maintenance earlier this year. The large-scale Ukrainian attack also targeted a weapons production facility in Russia's central Tambov region and an airfield in the occupied Crimean peninsula. The Boikiy was commissioned a little over a decade ago. Satellite image ©2026 Vantor. "I thank our warriors for their precision," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, adding that the "plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer." The Ukrainian strikes came on the opening day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, an annual event hosted in Putin's hometown. The flagship forum, often referred to as Russia's version of Davos, is set to bring together roughly 20,000 people, including business and government leaders, in St. Petersburg. President Donald Trump has sent a US delegation, and Putin is scheduled to speak on Friday. Russia has hosted the SPIEF for decades, but many Western guests, including heads of state, opted not to attend after its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Moscow has used the forum to showcase the Kremlin's views and its economic deals with allies. Ukraine's ability to strike St. Petersburg during such a high-profile event raises questions about Russian air defenses. At least one video shared on social media appears to show local police officers open fire with small arms at a Ukrainian drone. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said in Kyiv on Wednesday that Ukraine "is now so successful that Putin is only able to organize a 9th of May parade with an official presidential decree" by Zelenskyy. Ukraine, Rutte said at a press conference alongside Zelenskyy, "is increasingly successful — both when it comes to the front line, but also when it comes to making sure you are able to take out some of the key capabilities and capacities of the Russians to continue with the war."

Some of the most exclusive schools in the US offer free-tuition programs for lower- and middle-class students. Jay Yuan/Shutterstock The cost of a college education keeps rising, hitting six figures annually at some schools. Dozens of schools across the US offer free tuition, often tied to income or work requirements. Some of the most selective colleges and universities offer generous financial aid for students. The cost of a college education has only been rising, and at some US schools, the annual sticker price now surpasses $100,000. As millions of Americans drown in student debt, some schools have implemented policies to help students better afford higher education, including free-tuition initiatives. The financial aid landscape in the US is often complicated, riddled with ultra-specific jargon, and can look entirely different from family to family. In many cases, "tuition-free" does not mean the entire cost of college is covered, and students may still be responsible for housing, food, books, fees, health insurance, travel, or personal expenses. Some of these schools are elite institutions ranking among the hardest schools to get into in the US, while others are designated work colleges offering free tuition in exchange for students working on-campus jobs. While many of these schools advertise free tuition or need-based financial-aid packages, the reality is that the cost of attendance can vary between families and depend on factors such as income, household size, state residency, and whether (and how) assets like home equity or investment funds are considered. Often, universities have financial aid calculators on their website where prospective students and families can estimate the net cost of attendance that would apply to their financial situation. Business Insider examined the financial aid offerings of colleges across the US and identified schools that advertise a free-tuition model for at least some students. For each school, we included the eligibility criteria, including the family income threshold, and what costs are covered. While this list may not be exhaustive, as many smaller schools offer financial aid packages that could cover full tuition costs, this selection indicates where some students may have a path for debt-free higher education. We also excluded the five US military academies, where cadets attend tuition-free, with room and board, as they typically entail a service obligation after graduation. These 40 US colleges and university systems offer tuition-free education paths for at least some students, though eligibility may depend on income, residency, work requirements, tribal affiliation, or field of study. Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, Kentucky 6381380/Getty Images Family income cutoff: None What's covered: Full tuition for students from the school's Central Appalachian service area. Alice Lloyd College's Appalachian Leaders Scholarship is available to all students from the 108-county Appalachian service region designated by the school, which covers parts of Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The college is also one of 10 "federally recognized work-study colleges" in the US, per the school's website, and all full-time students are required to work a minimum of 10 hours a week at an on- or off-campus job. Aside from free tuition and work-study, students may also receive financial aid in the form of grants and privately funded scholarships. Students are expected to pay for their living expenses, including food and housing, depending on their financial aid package. Barclay College in Haviland, Kansas Eduardo Medrano/Shutterstock Family income cutoff: None What's covered: Full cost of tuition for full-time students living on-campus.

Students may also receive federal financial aid, such as grants or loans, to offset room and board costs. Berea College in Berea, Kentucky Edison Angamarca/Shutterstock Family income cutoff: None What's covered: Full tuition for all students.

California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California The Image Party/Shutterstock Family income cutoff: $200,000 What's covered: Full tuition for eligible students with family income under $200,000.

The school also offers aid packages for middle- and upper-middle-class families through its Colgate Commitment, per the school's website. Families earning between $200,000 and $250,000 will only pay about 7% of their income toward tuition. For those earning between $250,000 and $300,000, the percentage rises to 10%. College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri Ritu Manoj Jethani/Shutterstock Family income cutoff: None What's covered: Full tuition for all full-time students.

Students are still expected to cover the expenses of their books, travel, and medical insurance, as well as a damage deposit, and scholarships are available for students who cannot afford to cover these costs.
