Elon Musk gets more time to respond to SEC suit over Twitter disclosure

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-07-20 23:13:49

Elon Musk listens as US President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a House Republicans Conference meeting at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill on November 13, 2024 in Washington, DC. The Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to give Elon Musk more time to respond to its lawsuit over his alleged failure to properly disclose purchases of Twitter stock before bidding to buy the company. In a motion filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Washington, the SEC said it had reached a joint ag

Elon Unveils New Grok AI ‘Companion’ That Looks Uncomfortably Familiar

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-07-22 06:40:11

On Wednesday, Elon Musk discussed a new male AI “companion” that his company xAI is developing, which will run on the company’s unhinged chatbot software Grok. And while it’s not yet clear when this new robot buddy will be released, it sounds an awful lot like Musk is trying to make a romanticized version of himself. Musk first tweeted an image of the anime-inspired bot on Tuesday, asking followers on X what it should be named. The billionaire has already released two AI companions that use Gro

Newest Version of Grok Looks Up What Elon Musk Thinks Before Giving an Answer

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-27 19:45:38

This week, Elon Musk unveiled Grok 4, which he called "the world's most powerful AI assistant." The optics were appalling; the same week, the older version of Grok repeatedly attacked Black and Jewish people and declared itself "MechaHitler." It also spoke in the first person as if it were Musk himself when a user asked about its creator's interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased billionaire sex trafficker. Now, new evidence suggests that the just-upgraded chatbot — which has a history o

Researchers Find Grok 4 Checking Elon Musk’s Opinions Before Answering ‘Sensitive’ Questions

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-07-29 07:55:57

Earlier this week, xAI’s Grok chatbot went haywire, started praising Hitler, and had to be put in timeout. It was just the latest incident in what appears to be behind-the-scenes manipulation of the bot to make its responses “less woke.” Now it seems that developers are taking a simpler approach to manipulate Grok’s outputs: Checking out Elon Musk’s opinions before it provides a response. The weird behavior was first spotted by data scientist Jeremy Howard. A former professor and the founder of

Tesla’s Biggest Problem Is Its Own CEO

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-06 16:13:43

Tesla is Elon Musk. Elon Musk is Tesla. Rarely has a company’s identity been so inextricably linked to its CEO, for better and for worse. For years, this fusion was a superpower, giving Tesla an innovative mystique that captivated investors and propped up its valuation. Now, that same connection has become a massive liability. In a brutal reaction to Elon Musk’s latest political bombshell—the launch of his own political party—investors wiped nearly $70 billion off Tesla’s market capitalization

Trump Declares Musk a ‘Train Wreck’ After Party Launch

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-08 07:07:41

The friendship that once saw Elon Musk serve in the White House is officially and explosively over. In a lengthy and personal tirade posted to Truth Social on Sunday, President Donald Trump unloaded on his former ally, expressing his profound disappointment and casting Musk as an ungrateful and confused figure who has gone “completely ‘off the rails.'” The catalyst for the public condemnation was Musk’s launch of “The America Party,” a third-party movement aimed at disrupting the two-party syst

Tesla Fans Rage Against Elon Musk as They Lose Money on Polymarket After Doing Exactly What He Told Them to Do

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-08 20:15:40

Elon Musk's fanboys are furious at the billionaire for giving them bad betting advice on Polymarket. Back when there was still a slight chance that Tesla might pull off a public Robotaxi launch by the end of June, the multi-hyphenate billionaire prognosticated on X-formerly-Twitter that betting against the haters on the crypto-based prediction platform would be a "money-making opportunity." Obviously, that didn't happen — the program remains glitchy and not open to the public — and now that th

Elon Musk Is Selling His Political Party Like a Tesla

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-08 21:53:58

Less than 24 hours after launching his political party, Elon Musk is already playing hype man for the movement he claims will disrupt America’s broken political system. The richest man in the world took to X (formerly Twitter), the platform he owns, early Saturday morning to promote and to articulate the need for The American Party, his newly announced third party aimed at breaking what he calls the “uniparty” stranglehold of Democrats and Republicans. The move has drawn sharp criticism from su

A Canadian's AI hoax duped the media and propelled a 'band' to success

news.ycombinator.com Digital Writer 2025-08-08 19:56:56

A Canadian who duped journalists in an elaborate AI music hoax says he apologizes to anyone hurt by his experiment but that it's been "too fascinating" to turn away from. A man using the pseudonym Andrew Frelon posed as the spokesperson for a band called The Velvet Sundown — which he later said he had no involvement with — creating a media frenzy that propelled the AI-assisted "band" to a million monthly listeners on Spotify. He spoke with CBC News over the phone Friday on condition that his r

Creator of "Indie Band" Who Insisted It Wasn't AI-Generated Just Admitted the Truth

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-12 09:54:14

A "band" that sparked a heated debate for heavily relying on generative AI — and still somehow accumulating over half a million listeners on Spotify — has finally admitted the truth. Earlier this week, a self-proclaimed "indie rock band" called The Velvet Sundown claimed on its "official" X account that it "never" used any AI, accusing "so-called 'journalists'" of "pushing the lazy, baseless theory that The Velvet Sundown is 'AI-generated' with zero evidence." It was a preposterous claim that

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

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-16 22:54:20

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. At the time, the company's share price was hovering

Trump Was Just Asked If He’ll Deport Elon Musk

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

Is Elon Musk Afraid of Donald Trump?

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-30 20:35:51

Something is off. Elon Musk, the billionaire “technoking,” professional loudmouth, and geopolitical hobbyist, has gone silent. More than 48 hours after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — triggering fears of a wider war, the man who has a take on everything suddenly has none. This isn’t normal. It’s rare. The context is explosive. As the world awaits Iran’s response, President Donald Trump warned of more strikes and openly mused about regime ch
