I was going to write about EVs this morning, thanks to digging into the stats on the new Cadillac EV SUV. I still might later. But this news was breaking early, and as it strikes at the apex predator of the sector? I figured I’d check this out first. Elon Musk has seemingly been nimble […]
We missed the first rule of corruption: Follow the money. Yesterday’s confessional from longstanding NPR insider Uri Berliner, and especially my response to it, largely overlooked an important component of the story about NPR’s corruption. And as luck would have it, we can also observe a related anniversary about it. Almost exactly one year ago, […]
Reuters published an exclusive story today which says Tesla has decided to abandon plans for its “Model 2” EV and will instead focus on building robotaxis. Tesla has canceled the long-promised inexpensive car that investors have been counting on to drive its growth into a mass-market automaker, according to three sources familiar with the matter […]
Tesla’s sales numbers slumped in the first quarter of the year. The company’s sales numbers were down about 8 percent compared to last year. CEO Elon Musk’s electric car company reported it built 433,000 vehicles but delivered only 387,000. That’s down from the 484,507 cars it delivered in the final three months of 2023, and […]
Last year, the FDA cleared Elon Musk’s company Neuralink to begin clinical trials on humans of their brain implant device. The company claims that the device will allow paralyzed people to control various devices using only their thoughts. And to their credit, the early tests suggest that they may have pulled off that feat. But […]
As promised, Don Lemon released his interview with Elon Musk today. I watched it and I think you can see the moment when Musk decided he was not going to be doing any business with Don Lemon, but more on that in a moment. As Ed pointed out earlier today, Lemon’s transformation from CNN primetime […]
Alternate headline, suggested by my Salem colleagues: Two African-Americans argue over racism. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more. Or perhaps that’s what Don Lemon should have done after nosediving out of his post-CNN engagement with Elon Musk. Rather than quietly look for another partner or platform, Lemon has gone on a full-out offensive, blaming […]
The answer(s) to the title question are probably fairly obvious. Elon Musk is constructing hundreds of spy satellites for the United States for the money and because his company, SpaceX, now has a vast amount of experience in building satellites. SpaceX Starshield was awarded a $1.8 billion contract to do this in 2021. They’ve already […]
This sounds like a script out of Hollywood — one that Steve Mnuchin himself might have produced. Here’s the pitch: A multi-billionaire with too much time on his hands decides to buy out a social-media platform to save free expression and civil rights in America. Along the way, he meets zany characters like, er, Chinese […]
Maybe you heard that Don Lemon was coming back with a new online show, similar to what Tucker Carlson has been doing. In fact, Lemon was specifically encouraged to do so by Elon Musk who invited him to start a show on X. Lemon took him up on that offer and some kind of business […]
