futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-06 01:52:56

Unelected White House budget slasher and richest man in the world Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency has ripped through the federal government like a bull in a china shop. The billionaire's hodge-podge team of underqualified 20-somethings — and at least one literal teenager — have already ripped up countless government contracts and fired thousands of federal employees — only to rehire those who were in charge of nuclear security and protecting the US from a looming bird

cnet.com Lara Vukelich 2025-06-06 02:00:03

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-06-05 23:26:27

Oura's CEO wants its smart ring to be the doctor in your pocket

ZDNET I've been wearing an Oura Ring for over a year. Whenever I'm asked about my thoughts on the device, I say that the Oura Ring is one of the few products that nearly always does exactly what it claims to do. The ring can predict when you're about to get sick, catch variations in your heart rate, provide an accurate list of ingredients to log after you take a photo of your breakfast, and document your physical and emotional stress in real time.

Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

gizmodo.com Matthew Gault 2025-06-06 02:50:32

Steve Bannon is out and Elon Musk is in. A man who once had an office and a whiteboard in the White House now has a podcast. It’s not nothing, but it’s not an extra-governmental agency that has access to the backend systems that make America run and hum. Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer. Now he’s “Sloppy Steve,” Musk is sitting next to Trump during interviews, and Bannon says he’s ready for war. And while Bannon whines, Musk is opening th
