SpaceX in talks to raise new funding at $400B valuation

In Brief SpaceX is looking to raise fresh capital by selling new shares to insiders in a deal that would boost its valuation to around $400 billion, according to reporting from Bloomberg. The company’s strategy is to raise money via a fundraising round and separately hold a tender offer to allow employees to sell some of their shares to a select group of investors, anonymous sources told Bloomberg. SpaceX typically holds tender offers twice per year. SpaceX’s valuation has steadily climbed si

Elon Musk's X says Indian government ordered more than 2,000 accounts blocked, including Reuters

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives at the White House to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Feb. 13, 2025 in Washington, DC. Elon Musk's X said Tuesday that the Indian government ordered the company to block 2,355 accounts, including Reuters, in the country. "The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology demanded immediate action- within one hour- without providing justification, and required the accounts to remain blocked until further notice," X's global government af

AI Does Something Subtly Bizarre If You Make Typos While Talking to It

New research suggests that medical AI chatbots are woefully unreliable at understanding how people actually communicate their health problems. As detailed in yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study presented last month by MIT researchers, an AI chatbot is more likely to advise a patient not to seek medical care if their messages contained typos. The errors AI is susceptible to can be as seemingly inconsequential as an extra space between words, or if the patient used slang or colorful language. And strik

Why does this massive Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak not mention the S Pen at all?

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Z Fold phones have supported its S Pen stylus in the past, even though the foldables could not internally store the pen. With the upcoming Fold 7, we’ve been hearing rumors of a new approach to the S Pen in general, though sources have disagreed on specifics. A last-minute leak of Fold 7 launch materials appears to make no mention of the S Pen, raising doubts about support. We’ve got less than a day to go before Samsung executives take the

That Amazon listing for the Nintendo Switch 2 is likely fake - here's why

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's been about a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted, breaking records by selling over 3.5 million units around the world in the first four days of availability. Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement. And with physical stock being so scarce, it's tempting to jump at the chance to get your hands on one when you see a listing on Amazon. But with such a high-demand item combined with a high-traffic oppo

Musk Is Struggling to Understand What's Happening Around Him, Says Former Tesla Exec

Tesla investors are clearly worried that CEO Elon Musk's fiery new pledge to build a third US political party could inflict even more damage on the embattled company. The EV maker has been put through the wringer by Musk's antics, from cratering sales worldwide to an enormous drop in year-over-year revenues. The company's finances are in free fall. And now that president Donald Trump's so-called "big, beautiful bill" has passed through Congress, Tesla's crisis could soon take a major turn for

The military might finally win the right to repair

Senators Tim Sheehy and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bipartisan bill to enshrine a right to repair for military equipment. The legislation, called the “Warrior Right to Repair Act,” would codify the right-to-repair provisions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put in place through the Army Transformation and Acquisition Reform memorandum from April 30. The Department of Defense has not been immune from restrictive practices set forth by manufacturers, and much like the average consumer,

Particle Lenia Deluxe Edition

Particle Lenia Deluxe Edition. Lenia is a family of cellular automata that produces lifelike behaviors and patterns, first described in the seminal paper by Bert Wang-Chak Chan. This project is heavily inspired by the original Particle Lenia research by Alexander Mordvintsev et al., which implemented a particle-based version of Lenia in Python and JAX. Recognizing the importance of scale (number of particles) for simulation dynamics and iteration times for rapid pattern exploration, I ported th

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9. Among those countr
