In Desperate Bid to Get Elon Musk to Stay, Tesla Awards Him $29 Billion

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-28 16:16:59

After many months of plummeting sales and disastrous earnings, Tesla has awarded its controversial CEO a whopping $29 billion worth of its shares in a bid to keep him at the helm of the carmaker. After a Delaware judge threw out his astronomical pay package last year, which was worth $56 billion at the time, shareholders are terrified that his incredibly damaging leadership could soon come to an end. While continuing to attempt to get the pay package reinstated, the board granted him a "good f

A few days ago Microsoft published a list of the 40 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI. The first two entries are translators and historians, which made me laugh. The two jobs have one thing in common — they are acts of interpretation that are never recognized as such by outsiders. It’s probably self-evident in the tech world that history is a matter of assembling facts. A kind of mechanical curation, like sweeping loose pebbles into neat piles.

Microplastics aren't just an ocean pollution issue anymore. They're now a daily part of our diet.
