Top Execs Fleeing Tesla as Dark Clouds Grow

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-24 03:41:14

Another top executive has quit Tesla as the automaker continues a dicey and high-stakes spiral. The Wall Street Journal reports that Troy Jones, Tesla's vice president of sales, service and delivery in North America — its largest market — suddenly packed his bags after 15 years at the company. It's unclear at this point if the decision was his; at Tesla, heads can roll depending on the whims of CEO Elon Musk. Jones' exit comes during a particularly tumultuous time for the EV brand, which is su

Researchers announce babies born from a trial of three-person IVF

In the team’s approach, patients’ eggs are fertilized with sperm, and the DNA-containing nuclei of those cells are transferred into donated fertilized eggs that have had their own nuclei removed. The new embryos contain the DNA of the intended parents along with a tiny fraction of mitochondrial DNA from the donor, floating in

On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine, an art adviser in New York named Stephen Truax, to gossip about an exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he’d blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours. Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a feat.

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-24 09:10:22

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large filament—cold, dense ribbons of gas suspended above the Sun’s surface—that they spotted days before the explosion.
