Vivian Wilson criticizes AI and estranged father Elon Musk in Desigual campaign

Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 15:43

Fashion brand Desigual launched a new advertising campaign starring Vivian Wilson, daughter of Elon Musk. The campaign seeks to convey a message of contemporary rebellion, stating that "the greatest rebellion is no longer fighting the system but refusing to be part of it."

Vivian Wilson appears in the campaign criticizing artificial intelligence and also making references to her estranged father, Elon Musk. The 18-year-old cut ties with the billionaire and adopted her mother's surname, X Æ A-12, as part of her identity.

The choice of Vivian as the face of the campaign reflects Desigual's strategy of associating the brand with values of authenticity and social contestation. The campaign message positions the refusal to participate in established systems as the new form of rebellion.

This is not the first time Vivian Wilson has publicly spoken out against her father. She had previously declared her disconnection from Musk, criticizing his political and ideological views, as well as his involvement in the technology industry.

PSI leads gains on a day of mixed sentiment in European stock exchanges

European stock exchanges closed without a single direction, with Lisbon standing out as the big exception, as the PSI-20 led the gains, rising 0.66%, to 9,481.29 points, driven by construction companies Mota-Engil and Teixeira Duarte, as well as Galp Energia, which benefited both from the prime minister's statements about negotiations with Moeve and from the rise in oil prices. Brent approached 100 dollars, but sovereign debt yields remained stable. While the Euro STOXX 50, the STOXX Europe 600, the CAC 40 and the DAX closed in positive territory, Madrid, Milan and London registered slight losses.

Auto insurance refusals lead ASF to intervene in 17 cases in 2025

The Authority for Insurance Supervision and Pension Funds (ASF) intervened in 2025 to guarantee mandatory Motor Third Party Liability coverage for 17 vehicles, after successive refusals by insurance companies, representing an increase of approximately 42% compared to the 12 cases registered in 2023 and 2024. When insurance companies reject a subscription at least three times, ASF activates the SORCA mechanism, a last-resort solution, upon proof of refusal from at least three different companies. Insurance companies' risk assessment is based on the claims history declaration and, where applicable, on internal data regarding frequency and indemnity amounts. The obligation to accept the contract is distributed proportionally to the insurance companies' market shares, with coverage limited to mandatory third party liability insurance.

The buyer doesn't want to know how much premium they pay. They want to know which risks are not covered

An opinion article addresses the importance of insurance programs in business acquisition and sale processes. The text explains that during due diligence, buyers are more interested in identifying uncovered risks than in the premium value paid. Examples are given from sectors such as food (absence of Product Recall insurance) and technology (lack of Cyber Insurance), which can influence negotiations, contractual guarantees, and even the final transaction price. The article also mentions international practices such as Warranty & Indemnity Insurance and concludes that preparing a company for sale also involves demonstrating that the main risks have been identified and transferred to insurers.
