Judge Accuses Elon Musk and Sam Altman of ‘Gamesmanship’ in Court

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-22 12:35:11

Elon Musk scored a small win in court on Tuesday in his case against Sam Altman, but the judge wasn’t impressed with either side’s tactics, reprimanding them for “gamesmanship.” Calling out both sides for having “repeatedly over-litigated the case,” U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers granted Musk’s motion to strike several of Altman’s defenses. This is the latest in Musk’s ongoing feud with Altman. Musk originally filed the lawsuit last year in a federal court in Northern California, a

Elon Musk Scoffs as Rival Waymo Plows Through Car While Driving Wrong Way Down Street

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-23 16:05:57

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to ward off critics of his approach to autonomous driving. Many years ago, the mercurial billionaire decided to rely exclusively on cameras — rather than LIDAR and radar sensors, like Tesla's competitors — for the carmaker's driver assistance software. Critics have long pointed out the limitations of such an approach, arguing that visual sensors can easily be fooled by anything from severe weather to a wall painted to look like the road beyond it. Musk is clearly

Original Tesla Founder Is Sad That Musk Made a ‘Truck That Looks Like a Dumpster’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-24 08:10:33

Unbeknownst to much of the public, Elon Musk did not actually start Tesla. Indeed, Musk was actually the company’s 4th CEO when he initially joined the company way back in 2008. While Musk can be credited with substantially transforming the firm and its offerings, its original co-founders, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, launched Tesla in 2003. Musk and those original executives have had their tussles over the years. In fact, tensions between Musk and Eberhard led to a 2009 lawsuit and set

Elon Musk Is Digging Tunnels Under Nashville

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-24 22:10:47

Somehow, Elon Musk keeps convincing cities to allow him to dig under them. The latest locale to give The Boring Company the rights to displace dirt directly under their feet is Nashville, Tennessee, which announced an agreement this week to allow Musk’s firm to build a 10-mile “loop” that will connect the city’s airport and convention center—an arrangement that has modestly improved traffic flow in Las Vegas while turning the city into a laughingstock of the infrastructure design community.

Less than a week after Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned that his carmaker is in for a "few rough quarters," the company's executives are spinning up the rumor mill in an apparent effort to distract from its disastrous earnings results.
