Elon Musk Accused of Stiffing Small Businesses for Millions of Dollars, Causing Some to File for Bankruptcy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-29 09:15:32

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has allegedly been stiffing small businesses, causing some of them to file for bankruptcy. According to an investigation by CNN, contractors have filed liens — claims of possession of property until a debt is paid off — for more than $110 million against Tesla over the last five years. The company still owes dozens of businesses more than $24 million. Worst of all, many of these firms are mom-and-pop operations, making them extremely vulnerabl

Original Tesla Cofounder Roasts Cybertruck for Looking "Like a Dumpster"

Martin Eberhard, one of the original cofounders of Tesla — who actually started the company and didn't retroactively bestow himself a title giving that impression, unlike a certain billionaire — isn't too pleased with his baby's newest crowning jewel: the Cybertruck. In comments made in a recent interview with YouTuber Kim Java spotted by Electrek, Eberhard vented his frustration with Tesla's recent direction — which is when the highly heterodox pickup truck caught a stray.

These Behind-the-Scenes Emails From Tesla Meekly Begging the State of California to Allow Its Horrible Robotaxis Are Unintentionally Hilarious

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-29 10:45:34

Email exchanges between Tesla and California regulators obtained by Politico reveal a comical discrepancy between what Elon Musk is saying his Robotaxi services can do publicly, and what the automaker is actually telling authorities behind closed doors. This week, Tesla launched a ride-hailing service in San Francisco, in what is being framed as an expansion of its Robotaxi efforts that started as an invite-only program in Austin, Texas last month, where it immediately began charging customers

I still love VLC, but this lightweight video player changed the game for me

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 10:00:11

Andy Walker / Android Authority VLC Player has been my go-to video app for years, dating back to the good ol’ Windows XP days. That loyalty progressed to Android, and I still use it across desktop and mobile for my video content needs. While it remains a powerful product, VLC often feels cumbersome when I crave simplicity. Why opt for a piledriver when you need a chisel? I searched for a secondary player for more immediate video viewing tasks a few months ago and discovered Next Player. Althou

It can be played with two people (similar to tennis) or four people with two players making up one team.

Tesla just got handed one of its biggest legal blows yet — one that could have seismic implications for its future operations. On Friday, a Miami jury ruled that the Elon Musk-owned automaker's Autopilot driver assistance software was partially at fault for a horrendous collision that killed a 22-year-old woman in 2019 and severely injured her boyfriend.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung revise advertising over exaggerated AI claims after regulator scrutiny

Cutting corners: As the landscape for AI-powered products evolves, companies face growing demands to deliver not just innovation, but clearly supported and honestly communicated claims about what their technology can actually do. "When you market AI like magic, you're going to invite scrutiny," said George Heudorfer, an adjunct professor at the University of New Haven's Pompea College of Business.

How Florida quietly surpassed California in solar growth

cnbc.com Lisa Setyon Jeniece Pettitt 2025-12-29 09:00:01

Solar energy is booming across the U.S. and, for the first time, Florida is catching up to industry powerhouses Texas and California. Despite removing climate change from its official state policy in 2024, Florida added more utility-scale solar than California last year, with over 3 gigawatts of new capacity coming online. "This is not a fluke," said Sylvia Leyva Martinez, senior analyst at Wood Mackenzie. "Florida is now shaping national solar growth." The surge is being driven by utilities,

One of the Biggest Sources of Microplastics Will Make You Mad as Hell

Microplastics are so pervasive that they're now found in our bloodstreams, bones, and — according to one alarming study — even our brains in enough quantities to make a plastic spoon. But where do they all come from? One of the biggest sources may surprise you: car tires. Or maybe it isn't that surprising, now that we've brought it up. Yet, the role of civilization's addiction to the automobile tends to go overlooked in these discussions in favor of more obvious forms of waste like plastic bot

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr
