Elon Musk

Three strikes and you're out is the rule in baseball, although not in life. If it were, maybe Elon Musk wouldn't be in the news so much these days.

Musk’s first wife, writer Justine Wilson, with whom he had five children — twins and triplets — can testify to that. She knew then it was time to quit and reclaim her life. But as one former business associate said here, the idea of failure is “unfathomable” to Musk. Unlike its predecessors, it didn’t stall, wobble or fall apart in the second stage of flight. Investors pulled their funding and turned their backs on the former boy wonder of Silicon Valley. The first three rockets launched by his company SpaceX had humiliatingly failed to make it into orbit.

Musk said Boring Company sold 10K bottles of the perfume at $100 each.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk smiles as he addresses guests at the Offshore Northern Seas 2022 (ONS) meeting in Stavanger, Norway on August 29, 2022. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX jokingly asked people to buy his fragrance so he can afford to buy Twitter. According to the company's website, it's "just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work."

Innovation is important, but Elon Musk's impractical transit inventions do nothing to help solve today's problems.

His channel, Adam Something, specializes in critiques of urban design and mass transit. There’s even a word for exciting but catastrophically flawed concepts like this: “gadgetbahn.” Both ideas have generated much excitement and even investment, but as Mr. He has ideas about how to end the war in Ukraine and save children trapped in underground caves.

Elon Musk, who opened a pre-order for the perfume he will release in 2023, sold 1 million dollars a day! Details are here...

Stepping into the perfume industry after the electric car and chip industry, Musk’s money earned in one day stunned those who saw it. It sold 1 million dollars in 1 day. Elon Musk, who is among the richest people in the world and made a name for himself with his investments in technology and the automotive sector, opened a pre-order for his perfume, which he will launch in 2023, and it was a surprise.

He's the most influential entrepreneur of his age but you wouldn't want to work for him.

(That said, he is certainly capable of cruelty and spite.) Instead, he is a very odd fish swimming in the rarefied waters of Lake Tech Bro. He’s almost like a character from a science-fiction novel (though not one of the wise ones by Iain M Banks). Part one of The Elon Musk Show focuses on his formative years in the tech industry. Banks isn’t mentioned in The Elon Musk Show (BBC Two, Wednesday, 9pm), a thorough and absorbing portrait of the Tesla chief executive. As a baby-faced tech entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, Elon Musk devoured the science-fiction novels of Iain M Banks. “He works in mysterious ways,” says one software engineer who sounds both intoxicated and traumatised by his time toiling alongside Musk.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said his latest financial venture was seemingly inevitable: A new perfume tied to his name, "Burnt Hair.".

Musk sells burnt hair perfumeTesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said that his perfume line from The Boring Company, Burnt Hair, has been launched. Musk claimed through a tweet on Wednesday that the number of Burnt Hair bottles sold is 10,000. On Tuesday, the SpaceX founder jokingly tweeted that it was inevitable for him to get into the fragrance business with “a name like mine”. The flamethrower was a $500 device sold by the company. The perfume will ship in Q1 2023, according to the website. Back in September, the Tesla CEO and the world’s richest man first tweeted about the “Brunt Hair” perfume.

The BBC on Wednesday released episode one of "The Elon Musk Show," which covers the business career of the world's richest man.

In a new BBC documentary called The Elon Musk Show, Jim Ambras said Musk's face "would turn red" when he saw staff were not at their desks at night.

Branden Spikes, a systems engineer at Zip2 also interviewed for the documentary, described Musk as an "unusual fellow" who would work late and then sleep under his desk.

Zip2, which provided online city guide software to newspapers, was founded in Palo Alto by Musk and his brother Kimbal in 1995 as Global Link Information Network in 1995. The first episode was broadcast in the UK on Wednesday night. He also called the South African a "know-it-all" who thought he knew "just about everything about everything."

Will employees flee—and Trump return? With so many twists and turns in the Musk-Twitter saga, playing out in the courtroom and on the platform, ...

Musk is the king of Twitter, and he is (next to Donald Trump when he was on the platform) the number one shit-stirrer on there. His rockets take people (successfully) to the International Space Station; his solar panels are some of the best in the industry; and the AI prowess his companies have is second to none. Trump [has said](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-will-not-return-to-twitter-even-if-elon-musk-purchases-platform-will-begin-using-his-truth-social) he doesn’t want to come back, but come on, let’s be realistic here: Once Trump sees that little white box and that flash keyboard sign and smells his millions of faithful MAGA followers, all it’ll take is one tweet for him to be back. The judge in the case ruled (mostly in favor of Twitter), and Musk was [about to be deposed](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/sep/27/elon-musk-deposition-twitter-takeover-deal) when he decided he probably should actually buy Twitter.

First, if Musk had been forced to testify, he would have been asked questions related to Tesla and SpaceX, and could have been put in a situation that would force him to reveal how he runs both companies—and their deepest, darkest secrets—on the stand. One banker I spoke to said the only scenario where Musk doesn’t have to buy Twitter is if a black hole swallows earth or the planet is destroyed by a meteor. Finally, if Musk had lost the case and been forced to buy Twitter, but still refused, he would have potentially faced hefty fines. It’s clear he doesn’t want to go through with it, but it’s also clear he might not have a choice. This is a waste of time.” And then: “Will make an offer to take Twitter private.” Cut to a few months later—when Musk realized he didn’t really want to own the most controversial company in Silicon Valley—and he pulled out of the deal. If the stock had continued to fall (which it has) and he’d then lost his case and been forced to buy Twitter, he would have needed to sell more Tesla stock to make up the difference, a surely unfavorable outcome. In short, Musk was about to join the board of Twitter, but in typical Musk fashion, he was still throwing bombs at the company and tweeted, “Is Twitter dying?” This pissed off Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s 89th CEO (just kidding), who told Musk to stop.

The Delaware Court of Chancery is no place for theatrics, and the judge presiding over the case has kept things on track.

A new documentary reveals Musk to be more of an overgrown toddler than a visionary. His success seems almost accidental.

The footage of the early Falcon launches in particular is transfixing, the seconds ticking by, the massed ranks of technicians in headsets wondering if their crazy, macho projectile will finally go into orbit, and if it doesn’t, what Musk will say or do (his T-shirt and shorts are no disguise at all for his impending frustration). You wonder if his entire empire will one day crash around him (it nearly did during the development of the Tesla). After meeting her in a London nightclub, he invited Talulah Riley, the actor who became his second wife, up to his hotel room to watch rocket videos. He would like to stick a greenhouse on Mars, but in the meantime he’s Musk is the richest man who ever lived and yet, famously, he doesn’t own a house. But he tells every one of them in a voice so wobbly you half expect him to burst into tears.

Twitter is asking the court for access to documents that Musk has given over to the government.

A court filing made public by the social media company revealed SEC's on going scrutiny into the Tesla chief's acquisition bid.

Musk later refiled the disclosure to indicate he was an active investor. Musk meanwhile is supposed to be securing financing to complete the purchase. Musk then decided days before a trial was set to take place to force the purchase to go through with the deal.

Twitter said in a filing that Elon Musk is withholding documents related to a federal investigation tied to his proposed acquisition of the company.

Lawyers representing Twitter claimed in a legal filing that Elon Musk is "presently under investigation by federal authorities for his conduct in connection with the acquisition of Twitter," and pushed Musk to hand over his communications with federal officials, marking the latest twist in a legal whirlwind involving the world's richest man and his embattled $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform.

Mr. Musk's plan to buy Twitter underscores the need for federal regulation of social media sites.

To realize the full value of increased competition, the government also needs to mandate that the users of a social media site can leave with their data. The government has a long history of imposing special obligations on mass media. Policymakers also should consider the role that social media might play in strengthening democracy. A simple example would be a requirement to provide geographically specific election information from verified sources. A 1996 law requiring cellphone companies to let people keep the same number when switching providers made it easier for people to move to new carriers. In a 2020 report, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences That is because government has abandoned the principle that mass media companies have special obligations to society, and it has allowed a few big social networks to suffocate competition, leaving users and advertisers without practical choices or leverage. Government regulation, however, should not focus solely on checking the dangers posed by social media networks. Democrats have aimed a lot of rhetorical fire at the big tech companies. Better laws could help to revive competition, restrain harmful behavior and even realize the potential of social media to strengthen American democracy rather than undermine it. Whether or not Elon Musk ends up acquiring Twitter, his plans have caused consternation because of a simple truth: The owners of social media sites have too much power. A person with a Gmail account can send messages to a person with a Yahoo account because email systems are interoperable.

In April, the SEC asked Mr Musk whether the disclosure of his 9% Twitter stake was late and why it indicated that he intended to be a passive shareholder. In June, the SEC asked Mr Musk in a letter whether he should have amended his public filing to reflect his intention to suspend or abandon the deal. In late September, Mr Musk's attorneys provided a "privilege log" identifying documents to be withheld from discovery.

Federal authorities are investigating Elon Musk in connection with his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, the social media platform said in a court filing ...

“Twitter did not ask Zatko to torch his own documents, much less demand that he do so,” Twitter’s filing read. Instead, Twitter claimed, Zatko destroyed the notebooks of his own volition. But its chair, Lina Khan, has told Congress in public testimony that if it’s determined Twitter executives were responsible for legal violations, the FTC “absolutely” would and “won’t hesitate” to hold those executives personally accountable. The judge overseeing the dispute later in the week [ruled to pause the legal proceedings](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/06/tech/elon-musk-twitter-lawsuit-stay/index.html) until Oct. Musk first attempted to terminate the deal in July, alleging that Twitter violated their mutual purchase agreement by misrepresenting the number of spam and fake bot accounts on its platform. Twitter’s filing merely said authorities are looking into Musk’s “conduct” linked to the deal.

Tesla chief's stop-start plan to buy social media platform for $44bn has left staff in an uncomfortable limbo.

But it is Musk’s plans to change what Twitter employees believe to be nuanced and well-informed rules on speech that have sparked the most consternation internally. Musk upset staff when singling out senior Twitter figures for criticism, including policy chief Vijaya Gadde, a move that triggered a barrage of attacks from the entrepreneur’s loyal online followers. “One person can leave and the system would be replaceable. ‘One person can leave and the system would be replaceable. Going forward, staff have been analysing Musk’s previous comments for signs of how he will shake up the company. “Twitter staff are battle-weary,” said Bruce Daisley, former head of Twitter’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In 2020, Musk dissolved Tesla’s press relations team, saying: “Other companies spend money on advertising & manipulating public opinion, Tesla focuses on the product.” The problem is, this was never going to be a traditional deal process... However, others fear being at the mercy of a whimsical billionaire without a clear plan for what they believe to be a vital tool for democracy. Since April, Twitter staff have become Silicon Valley’s most pitied workforce, left in an uncomfortable limbo after Elon Musk made his uninvited $44 billion (€45.4 billion) bid for the platform, before attempting to pull out of the deal, all while goading them and discrediting their work. This led some staff to feel like they were being silenced and not kept sufficiently abreast of events. Musk only floated one name himself as a potential board member, chatshow host Oprah Winfrey.
