President Donald Trump's escalating tariff war is putting Tesla in serious danger. As Politico reports, the trade war has put Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an extremely awkward position politically. While the president's top henchman's businesses are somewhat insulated thanks to a strong manufacturing presence in the United States, Musk's ambitions to turn Tesla into the "most valuable company in the world" by focusing on autonomous driving and robotics could be thwarted by flatlining international t

Musk's SpaceX facilities might be taking some flak from protestors lately, but it's nothing compared to the mass mobilization of demonstrations that have given his Tesla dealerships a black eye. That could change with his latest concept: a bid to build Donald Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense system, for which the billionaire's SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner, according to Reuters.

Tesla is reportedly pulling back production of its much-maligned Cybertruck. According to Business Insider, the EV maker has dropped production targets for several Cybertruck lines over the last few months – and is going as far as to move workers from the line entirely at its manufacturing facility in Texas. "It feels a lot like they're filtering people out," a worker with knowledge of the situation told the publication. "The parking lot keeps getting emptier." It's yet another sign Tesla's h

It's no secret that Musk is anxious about the world's population. In 2022, he made the controversial proclamation that "population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming." That wasn't just one of his many idle thoughts, but a serious mantra to live by. The centi-billionaire now has at least 14 children with at least four different women — Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, author Justin Wilson, musician Claire "Grimes" Boucher, and right-wing in

In March 2018, Tesla Model X owner Walter Huang died after his vehicle crashed into a concrete highway median at 71 mph — while its Autopilot driver assistance software, a buzzy new feature at the time, was turned on. The entire front of the vehicle was ripped off, sending the SUV spinning. Huan was pronounced dead hours after being taken to the hospital. According to details released years later, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) confirmed that the software Huang had been using

Back in October of 2024, Tesla investors and fanboys alike flocked to Hollywood for the company's "We, Robot" event. The company's backers hoped Musk would finally unveil the long-awaited "$25,000 Tesla" — a lower-budget EV that was sure to rejuvenate sales as the costly Cybertruck flopped — but what they got was anything but. Instead, the event kicked off with a visibly stiff Elon Musk waving to the crowd and climbing into a garish gold sedan. It was our first peak at Cybercab, Tesla's self-d

Elon Musk has gambled Tesla's future on the Cybercab — a small, autonomous vehicle intended to spearhead the automaker's charge into the robotaxi business and give it a pathway for growth as other electric vehicle makers increasingly eat its lunch. It was an already questionable move. And now, in a grim irony for Musk, it's looking even dicier thanks to the Trump administration he helped usher into the White House with hundreds of millions of dollars in highly visible support.

When Elon Musk announced that his AI startup, xAI, had acquired his social media company, X (formerly known as Twitter), in an all-stock deal, it raised some eyebrows. But in many ways, the deal made sense. xAI’s chatbot, Grok, was already deeply integrated with X, X was floundering financially, and Musk needed a way to make his $44 billion Twitter acquisition look less like an impulsive takeover and more like a strategic play for AGI dominance. It also pointed to something deeper about how Mus
