Elon Musk Says Apple Is Rigging the App Store for ChatGPT

Elon Musk has opened a fresh front in his ongoing feud with Big Tech.This time he’s targeting Apple. On Monday night, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO accused the iPhone maker of antitrust violations, claiming its App Store policies put his AI chatbot Grok, developed by xAI, at a disadvantage compared to rivals, particularly OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violatio

Former Cop Says He Routinely Confiscated Guns, Fentanyl and Cocaine at Tesla Factory

A lawsuit filed by Ozell Murray, a former police officer fired as head of security at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, suggests the plant has a severe sexual assault, drug and alcohol abuse, and rampant racism problem. According to the 159-page federal suit, first obtained by The Independent, the officer's team "routinely" confiscated cocaine, fentanyl, and guns onsite. His team also investigated "acts of sexual deviance" and sent employees "home for being alcohol-intoxicated and high on

xAI is testing Grok 4.20 to take on GPT-5, may launch this month

Elon Musk-owned xAI is testing Grok 4.20, a new model update to Grok 4, which already competes with GPT-5 in some benchmarks, such as ARC-AGI 2. GPT-5 is one of the best models for coding, and it competes with Claude Opus 4.1 head-to-head in some coding challenges. On the other hand, Grok falls a bit short when it comes to building full-fledged apps. But that might change soon as xAI is testing Grok 4.20. In a post on X, Elon Musk teased Grok 4.20 for a late August launch. Previously, Elon

Launch HN: Halluminate (YC S25) – Simulating the internet to train computer use

Hi everyone, Jerry and Wyatt here from Halluminate ( https://halluminate.ai/ ). We help AI labs train computer use agents with high quality data and RL environments. Training AI agents to use computers, browsers, and software is one of the highest-potential opportunities for AI. To date, however, this capability is still unreliable. The emerging method to improve this is called Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). However, researchers are currently bottlenecked by a lack of hi

Elon Musk confirms shutdown of Tesla Dojo, ‘an evolutionary dead end’

Elon Musk confirmed over the weekend reports that Tesla has disbanded the team working on its Dojo AI training supercomputer, just weeks after announcing he expected to have Tesla’s second cluster operating “at scale” in 2026. “Once it became clear that all paths converged to AI6, I had to shut down Dojo and make some tough personnel choices, as Dojo 2 was now an evolutionary dead end,” Musk posted on X, the social media platform he owns, on Sunday. “Dojo 3 arguably lives on in the form of a la

A simple pixel physics simulator in Rust using Macroquad

Sbixel Sbixel is a very simple pixel physics simulator I made to learn Rust. It uses macroquad for drawing — and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple and awesome it is! Quick demo (click for youtube link): ⚠️ This project is very basilar and doesn't have much ambition to go anywhere — it's mainly a learning sandbox. How It Works The simulation uses a "sector" system to reduce unnecessary processing by only simulating active areas of pixels. All settings related to simulation and perfo

Musk Moves to Bring Tesla Power to U.K. As Car Sales Stumble

Controversial lightning rod Elon Musk is making major moves in the United Kingdom, as his electric car company Tesla looks to find new ways to diversify its income streams. According to OFGEM, the U.K. energy regulator, Tesla has formally applied for a license to sell electricity to households and businesses across Britain. Approval of that application could be a major boost for both Musk and Tesla, which has seen sales skid as Musk has become an increasingly polarizing figure in American poli

There’s a new Xbox emulator on Android, but here’s why you should run away from it

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The supposed first Xbox emulator on Android, Xanite, has launched in V0.1. It is not able to emulate Xbox games, and it appears to be nothing more than an empty shell. Updates are promised in the coming weeks, but don’t get your hopes up. Emulation on Android has come a long way in recent years, with systems up to and including the Nintendo Switch and PS3 now playable. However, despite coming out way back in 2001, the original Xbox still doesn’t have a

Elon Musk Turns His AI Chatbot Into a Male Fantasy Engine

Elon Musk has always been the biggest hype man for his own companies. Whether it’s Tesla, SpaceX, or X (formerly Twitter), the world’s richest man personally takes to social media to promote new features, products, and ideas. His AI venture, xAI, is no exception. Over the past week, Musk has been flooding X with posts promoting Grok Imagine, the new image-and-video-generation feature in SuperGrok, the most advanced version of xAI’s Grok chatbot. But the images Musk chooses to showcase say as mu

Tesla Shutting Down Its AI Supercomputer As Staff Leaves in Droves to Join Competitor

As sales continue to plummet worldwide, Tesla is giving up on building an in-house supercomputer for computer vision processing as part of its advanced driver assistance system. As Bloomberg reports, the head of the project, dubbed Dojo and which CEO Elon Musk used to hype up immensely, is leaving the company. The team has already lost around 20 workers to a separate data center firm that's been poaching former Tesla executives. The rest of the team will reportedly be reassigned to other data

This epic Severance mural might be the coolest thing you see all week

LA is populated with marketing materials for all sorts of entertainment, but this giant painted Severance mural is one-of-a-kind. Apple shared photos of “The Exalted Victory of Cold Harbor” mural on display near an Apple TV+ billboard on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles this week. The finishing touches were put on the mural at the end of July, according to passersby on social media. These are the shots shared by Apple, including a selfie by Severance lead actor Adam Scott: Meanwhile, a Facebook

Sam Altman says he doesn’t think about Elon Musk that much

Sam Altman has dismissed longtime rival Elon Musk's warnings that OpenAI is set to dominate Microsoft, after the companies announced that OpenAI's latest AI model will be incorporated into Microsoft products. On Thursday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that OpenAI's GPT-5 service would be launching across platforms including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry — prompting a response from Musk that "OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive." Nadella sought

Add the Tesla Diner to the List of Elon Musk Projects That Fail to Deliver on Promises

You are not going to believe this, because there is absolutely zero precedent for it happening; it appears Elon Musk has overpromised on something. It has only been two weeks since the Tesla Diner, a charging station and restaurant with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, and it is already significantly narrowing down its menu offerings, according to a report from Eater. In classic diner fashion, the restaurant offered a robust menu when it first opened, but it is down to just five sandwiches, two si

The Tesla Diner Is Already Falling Apart Under Mismanagement

Tesla, a company known for making electric vehicles that regularly malfunction and fall apart, is apparently faring no better at operating a working restaurant. Between its amply peeved neighbors, a woman being brained by a patio covering on its opening week, and protests against owner Elon Musk's other activities, the Tesla diner was already drawing all the wrong kind of attention — and then, it seemingly halved its menu out of nowhere. As Eater reports, Musk's foray into food service now has

Diabetic Man With Gene-Edited Cells Produces His Own Insulin—No Transplant Drugs Required

A new case study offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of transplantation medicine. A man with type 1 diabetes is now able to make his own insulin thanks to a transplant of gene-edited pancreatic cells—a transplant that hasn’t required the typical drugs used to avoid rejection. Scientists in Sweden and the U.S. conducted the research, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. The 42-year-old man with long-standing diabetes was given donated islet cells that we

Elon Musk Says AI Will Take All Our Jobs, Including His

It’s not the kind of reassurance people on edge about AI were hoping for. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and the world’s richest man, warned that no job is safe, not even his. Musk just issued the warning on X (formerly Twitter), the social network he owns, in response to a post praising OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The original message described how a cancer survivor used ChatGPT to challenge doctors’ opinions, advocate for herself, and make better treatment decisions. “This is bound to ruffle the medical indu

Tesla Reportedly Shuts Down AI Project Weeks After Musk Called It “Spectacular”

Elon Musk has always thrived on bold claims and the contradictions that follow. On July 23, he joined Tesla’s second-quarter earnings call, the standard ritual in which executives talk up their company’s performance and future. Musk was in full visionary mode. That day, he painted a glowing picture of the future of Dojo, Tesla’s ultra-ambitious, custom-built supercomputer designed to train the neural networks for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. He called the next ge

Tesla Patents Bizarre Sucking Device

Late last month, Tesla's executives spun up the rumor mill amidst plummeting sales and financial hardship that the Elon Musk-led company was "gearing up for a super cool demo" of the company's long-awaited next-generation Roadster. Two weeks earlier, the billionaire CEO had teased a "most epic demo ever by end of year," without elaborating any further. While we can only speculate what they're planning to show off, one reasonable guess is that it could be related to Musk's years-long promise of

I Don't Read Your Email Threads 08 Aug, 2025 Email threads have got to be one of the worst possible forms of communication. You've been here before. A perfectly respectable morning is passing by. You're working through your items at a chipper pace maybe humming a song you heard on Spotify that morning. Then, the dreaded email thread comes through. Innocently, you click into the top email. The only text is "[Your Name] see below." I hate this and I bet you do too. Suddenly, you're transporte

The Song of the Summer Is Dead

Devon Powers says there is one significant data point no one has considered in the debate around 2025’s Song of the Summer, or rather, why there doesn’t really seem to be one this year: Donald Trump. As media has become less centralized—music streamers replaced radio stations, TikTok killed the music video, and so on—how people consume music, and who they listen to, has become even more fragmented. But today, Trump represents a reawakened avatar of cultural togetherness. He may be the closest t
