Elon Musk posted a screenshot on X showing his Grok AI agent placing a Lego Star Wars order, inadvertently revealing the order number, purchase amount, billing and delivery addresses, partial credit card digits, and the email tied to the purchase. X users quickly used that information to interact with Lego's customer service chatbot, with one account claiming to cancel the order and another claiming to alter it, increasing the quantity to 400 sets and changing the delivery address using Musk's payment details. Musk later said his order had not actually been canceled, and Lego declined to confirm the incident when asked by WIRED.

Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney has released a four-hour biographical documentary titled 'Musk' that portrays the tech mogul as a stock-pumping promoter rather than a visionary inventor. Before its release, the film reportedly drew Musk's anger and the threat of a defamation lawsuit, along with unconfirmed rumors that Universal Pictures hesitated over international theatrical distribution.
Following President Trump's push to replace the term 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence,' several Silicon Valley executives have begun using the new phrasing. Elon Musk, Marc Benioff, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella have all referenced or adopted 'super intelligence' in company branding or public statements after attending or responding to a related White House summit and executive order.
SpaceX announced it has agreed to acquire Grain Management's nationwide 800 MHz low-band spectrum portfolio for roughly $8 billion, giving it up to 14 megahertz of paired airwaves. Elon Musk said the acquisition is the final piece needed for SpaceX to offer complete phone coverage across America, though the deal still requires FCC approval. Separately this week, the FCC authorized SpaceX to launch 15,000 additional satellites.
Several film and TV projects about tech leaders are debuting this season, including Sony's "The Social Reckoning" (about the Facebook whistleblower leak), Alex Gibney's documentary "Musk," A24's Theranos film "You Can See Everything," Neon's "Artificial" about Sam Altman's brief 2023 ouster from OpenAI, and a Netflix "Instadocs" episode on the Hugging Face security incident. Musk has publicly criticized the documentary about him, while Altman said he understands public anxiety being projected onto him.
Elon Musk escalated public criticism of Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani, sarcastically calling him India's "prime minister" and accusing him of monopolistic practices that prevent Starlink from competing in the country. The remarks follow Musk's earlier claims that unnamed "oligarchs" were obstructing Starlink's entry, which India's Ministry of Communications denied, calling its satellite regulatory framework "fair and non-discriminatory." Despite a distribution deal with Reliance Jio and securing some regulatory clearances, Starlink still awaits final approval and is undergoing a government security assessment along with two other satellite operators.
Filmmaker Alex Gibney made a documentary about Elon Musk without his participation, instead compiling Musk's own public statements and litigation records into an unsettling digital avatar that voices things Musk actually said. The film traces Musk's career from Zip2 and X.com through PayPal, SpaceX and his takeover of Tesla from co-founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Musk has publicly dismissed the project as a 'hit piece' and called Gibney a 'douche.'
