Staying true to form, Tesla shuffled some terminology and names on some cars with little notice this week, as it dropped the long-standing Autopilot driver assistance system from the standard e equipment. It’s unknown if cars ordered before the change, but not yet in owners’ hands, are affected, and Tesla no longer has a public […]
Tesla Appears to Have Moved Its Robotaxi Safety Monitors to a More Sneaky Location

Elon Musk spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, making promises about the future of robots, cars, and space travel that you’ve likely heard before.

When Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency started ransacking the federal government’s data in early 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice insisted that DOGE goons never improperly accessed and shared private information at the Social Security Administration.

The Wacky Musk-OpenAI Legal War Now Involves a Fittingly Insane Amount of Money
One of many fascinating details in the multi-year legal dispute between Elon Musk and OpenAI is that OpenAI president Greg Brockman saw it coming miles away, writing in what was essentially his diary back in 2017 that he couldn’t “see us turning this into a for-profit without a very nasty fight” with Elon Musk. Neither […]
Should I Invest in SpaceX?
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as the dominant force in commercial space launch services, satellite internet, and reusable rocket technology.

Elon Musk Is Really Mad That Ryanair’s CEO Doesn’t Want Starlink on His Planes
You’re not going to believe this, but Elon Musk has called someone else an idiot on the internet.
