In an extended post on X, Altman lamented the fact that he’s now “politically homeless” and yearns for a technocratic utopia—something his once friend and current rival Elon Musk has also been calling for with his push to form a third party.

Following the passing of Trump’s signature “One Big Beautiful Bill” that will offer tax breaks to the wealthy while kicking millions off of Medicaid, Musk publicly supported Senator Rand Paul’s criticism (one of the few Republican ‘no’ votes in the Senate), specifically Paul’s assertion that the bill would ‘explode the deficit.

Tesla Stans Can’t Believe They’re About to Lose a Boatload of Money on Elon’s Robotaxi Launch

Why anyone believes the things that come out of Elon Musk’s mouth is a mystery. The vaporware king has peddled so many outlandish claims over the years that it’s difficult to keep a tally. Still, for whatever reason, he retains a small but devoted following who think his utterances are prophetic prognostications rather than the creative ideations of a sci-fi fanboy. One of Musk’s recent dubious claims was that Tesla would launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, by June, claiming that the

If a recent rally in the company's share price is any indication, investors are buying Tesla CEO Elon Musk's vision of leaning into autonomous driving and a robotaxi service. The company's shares rose almost four percent on Wednesday, despite the company revealing that it had sold 14 percent fewer cars in Q2 of this year compared to the same period last year, the biggest drop in Tesla's history.

Tesla deliveries drop 14 percent amid Musk backlash

Tesla says it delivered 384,122 electric vehicles in the April-June timeframe, which is a 14 percent drop compared with the same period in 2024. It's also the second quarter in a row that sales have fallen year-over-year (YoY).

GOP wants EV tax credit gone; it would be a disaster for Tesla

The Republican Party's opposition to tax credits for electric vehicles has stepped up a notch. As its members in the US Senate add their input to the budget bill that came from their colleagues in the House of Representatives, among the changes they want to see is a faster eradication of the IRS clean vehicle tax credit. The tax credit provides up to $7,500 off the price of an EV as long as certain conditions are met, and the language from the House would have given it until the end of the year.
