Elon Musk Adds ‘Sell Cars in Europe’ to His To-Do List

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-08-19 05:50:10

Elon Musk has always worn a lot of hats. Earlier this year, while he was working at the White House, he literally wore several hats on his head at the same time, in a clownish attempt to make this very point to other Trump officials. Even though the billionaire has since parted ways with the administration and is in the midst of an acrimonious spat with the President, he is still keeping busy. Now, he’s reportedly given himself a new job just as he pledged to launch a new political party, thus k

Tesla's Stock Has Fallen Dramatically Since Elon Musk Returned to the Business

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-20 16:54:20

When multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk returned to Tesla in May, it was met with a surge of enthusiasm from investors who feared he'd given up on the embattled carmaker during his disastrous stint in government. But that optimism has dimmed significantly as Musk has brought his signature aura of chaos and disappointment back to Tesla — and it's clear in the company's stock price, which has actually fallen since his homecoming in late May.

War has now been declared between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The alliance between the two powerful men has shattered, and their escalating feud has now reached a stunning new level: Trump was asked on Tuesday if he would deport Musk, who was born in South Africa but became a U.S. citizen in 2002. “Are you going to deport Elon Musk?” a reporter asked the president. “I don’t know,” Trump responded, before adding ominously, “We’ll have to take a look.” He then threatened to use a weap

GOP wants EV tax credit gone; it would be a disaster for Tesla

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-21 05:00:55

The Republican Party's opposition to tax credits for electric vehicles has stepped up a notch. As its members in the US Senate add their input to the budget bill that came from their colleagues in the House of Representatives, among the changes they want to see is a faster eradication of the IRS clean vehicle tax credit. The tax credit provides up to $7,500 off the price of an EV as long as certain conditions are met, and the language from the House would have given it until the end of the year.

Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago

A shortsighted design decision that Elon Musk made more than a decade ago is once again coming back to haunt Tesla. As The Guardian reports, the company's Robotaxi rollout has been a massive bust — due, in at least in part, to Musk's long-ago bet against the light detection and ranging sensors known as lidar, which are hardware that allow cars to "sense" their surroundings far more sensitively than the visual cameras that Tesla is instead using as the inputs for itse self-driving software.

A boomerang carved from a mammoth tusk is one of the oldest in the world, and it may be even older than archaeologists originally thought, according to a recent round of radiocarbon dating. Archaeologists unearthed the mammoth-tusk boomerang in Poland’s Oblazowa Cave in the 1990s, and they originally dated it to around 18,000 years old, which made it one of the world’s oldest intact boomerangs.
