Elon Musk Posts "No Kings" Message as Protests Rage Against Trump

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-30 11:05:02

Late Sunday night, billionaire Elon Musk was seemingly kept awake by the specter of the "No Kings" mass protests across the United States over the weekend. Millions of people took to the streets to counter a controversial — and apparently boring-as-hell — military parade, sponsored by UFC and put on by president Donald Trump, with the striking choice to hold it on his birthday. Musk took to his own social media platform, posting a screenshot of the iconic horror video game "Bioshock," which sh

Musk's Daring Gambit Has Managed to Do Something Remarkable: Alienate Democrats AND Republicans

It appears that Elon Musk has seriously overestimated his sustained popularity among his right-wing fans. In another masterful display of cunning, the world's richest man turned coat and viciously lashed out at his former best-friend-in-chief Donald Trump this month. It was a very public affair, as both parties traded blows over social media — and Trump at his many press conferences — but it was Musk who came out looking worse for wear, unable to equal the president's threats, squirming at the

The Definitive Story of Tesla Takedown

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-10-02 18:00:00

On a sunny April afternoon in Seattle, around 40 activists gathered at the Pine Box, a beer and pizza bar in the sometimes scruffy Capitol Hill neighborhood. The group had reserved a side room attached to the outside patio; before remarks began, attendees flowed in and out, enjoying the warm day. Someone set up a sound system. Then the activists settled in, straining their ears as the streamed call crackled through less-than-perfect speakers. In more than a decade of climate organizing, it was

Former Tesla Dealership Manager Says It's "Game Over" for Elon Musk

Back in May, as Tesla Takedown rallies and anti-Musk vandalism rocked the world, Tesla dealership manager Matthew LaBrot launched "Tesla Employees Against Elon" — an act of protest that swiftly got him fired.

Tesla's Robotaxi Launch Date Was Supposed to Be Today, But We're Shocked to Hear That It's Been Pushed Back

The launch of Tesla's robotaxi network will have to wait. On Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk made a tweet stating that, "tentatively," the first public rides on its autonomous vehicles — which will not be in its purpose-built Cybercabs, but in regular Teslas with updated software — will start on June 22. But the date could shift, Musk added, because "we are being super paranoid about safety." That comment could prove to be revealing.

There's little left for us to say that can further embarrass the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius. And maybe this is what Musk's genius looks like. The luckless EV has faced eight recalls so far, and its trademark stainless steel panels, when they aren't flying off, have demonstrated that they're better at serving as a shiny canvas for spray paint than as the armor of an "apocalypse-proof" tank.
