Tesla Announces Plans to Give Elon Musk $1 Trillion

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-21 21:40:07

Tesla's board has proposed an unprecedented pay package for its CEO Elon Musk: around $1 trillion worth of shares, Bloomberg reports. It's a major escalation in the firm's increasingly desperate attempts to encourage its highly divisive leader to stick around and stay attentive. That's despite Tesla's core business imploding over the past year, largely the result of Musk's alienating behavior and surging international competition. "Simply put, retaining and incentivizing Elon is fundamental to

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning. You know that when you buy Apple, you’re going to be paying a higher price than for almost any competing product, and are willing to do so for the perceived benefits of this – whether that’s the quality, the style, or the ecosystem. The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook.

X, formerly Twitter, has started rolling out its new encrypted messaging feature called “Chat” or “XChat.” The company claims the new communication feature is end-to-end encrypted, meaning messages exchanged on it can only be read by the sender and their receiver, and — in theory — no one else, including X, can access them. Cryptography experts, however, are warning that X’s current implementation of encryption in XChat should not be trusted. They’re saying it’s far worse than Signal, a techno
