Tesla's Stock Has Fallen Dramatically Since Elon Musk Returned to the Business

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-17 17:54:20

When multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk returned to Tesla in May, it was met with a surge of enthusiasm from investors who feared he'd given up on the embattled carmaker during his disastrous stint in government. But that optimism has dimmed significantly as Musk has brought his signature aura of chaos and disappointment back to Tesla — and it's clear in the company's stock price, which has actually fallen since his homecoming in late May. At the time, the company's share price was hovering

Trump Was Just Asked If He’ll Deport Elon Musk

War has now been declared between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The alliance between the two powerful men has shattered, and their escalating feud has now reached a stunning new level: Trump was asked on Tuesday if he would deport Musk, who was born in South Africa but became a U.S. citizen in 2002. “Are you going to deport Elon Musk?” a reporter asked the president. “I don’t know,” Trump responded, before adding ominously, “We’ll have to take a look.” He then threatened to use a weap

People voted for President Donald Trump, they wore his shoes, his hats, and his watches, and soon they’ll be able to make calls on his phone.

Even MAGA Is Pissed Off About Tech Bros’ Dream of Bulldozing Federal Lands to Create New Cities

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-02-17 18:00:17

In recent years, a cadre of tech billionaires have become obsessed with a deeply unconventional idea: the creation of new, privately owned cities. Dubbed the “Freedom Cities” movement, backers say they’d like to create new special development zones in the U.S. that would allow such cities to be built. In these zones, private investors could write their own laws and set up their own governance structures. According to this project’s backers, such communities would be corporately controlled and wo

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban.

The word was meant to project power, certainty, and victory. Instead, it has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Within days, “obliterated” morphed into an online punchline, mocked by critics and meme-makers across social media platforms. It has become the latest in a long line of Trumpian catchphrases
