Tesla’s Biggest Problem Is Its Own CEO

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-05 04:13:43

Tesla is Elon Musk. Elon Musk is Tesla. Rarely has a company’s identity been so inextricably linked to its CEO, for better and for worse. For years, this fusion was a superpower, giving Tesla an innovative mystique that captivated investors and propped up its valuation. Now, that same connection has become a massive liability. In a brutal reaction to Elon Musk’s latest political bombshell—the launch of his own political party—investors wiped nearly $70 billion off Tesla’s market capitalization

Why don't we trust technology in sport?

For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, Wimbledon's Centre Court became the perfect encapsulation of the current tensions between humans and machines. When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. Television replays proved it. But the electronic line-calling system - which means humans have been fully replaced this year following earlier trials - remained silent. Minutes ticked by.

Show HN: I Got Tired of Calculator Sites, So I Built My Own

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-05 16:24:19

I’ve always found that online calculators tend to have bad UIs, especially on mobile. Most of the calculator websites I’ve come across use outdated and inconvenient ways of inputting data, or they format the results in confusing ways. I’ve noticed that fraction calculators (especially mixed fractions) are terrible to use, even on desktop. I haven’t built one of those yet, but it’s something I’m planning to tackle soon.

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is.
