This week, tech rivals Elon Musk and Sam Altman have been falling over themselves to win the favor of returning president Donald Trump. The petty squabble started on Tuesday, when an aggrieved Musk took to social media to put down Trump's just-announced $500 billion AI project, "Stargate." Altman's OpenAI was a prominently-featured partner in the project while Musk's xAI was passed over, with Trump calling Altman the "leading expert based on everything I read."

The democratic order has faced down tyrants and megalomaniacs before. The name of the game for liberals for 2025 and beyond must be survival, writes Guardian columnist Martin Kettle

In 2004, two science fiction titans duked it out on the big screen in Alien vs Predator. The immortal tagline: “Whoever wins, we lose”, words that sprang into my head when I realized Elon Musk and Asmongold were tearing chunks out of each other online. Frankly – I’d rather spend an evening dealing with both extraterrestrial killers than either of these two manbabies.

The world's richest man went on a social media tirade against the Open AI chief executive for his former stance on Donald Trump.

The world’s richest man has some unusual thoughts about life, death and your government. A profile of the world’s richest man told through his own words.

In a run-of-the-mill fight on social media — you know, the type that the ultra-wealthy used to remain aloof from — Elon Musk deployed an appalling slur against disabled people. "F u r*tard," the 53-year-old billionaire quipped on X-formerly-Twitter after a user accused him of spreading disinformation on...

Elon Musk has been in the news, well, basically since forever. However, some of that news crosses over into the world of gaming, a field in which Musk tends to flaunt his superiority and elite-level gaming skills. After recent facts have come out that contradict his skill levels quite dramatically, a disgusting (seriously check out his room) gamer has drawn his ire unexpectedly.

Elon Musk just wants to be a wholesome guy. On Sunday, the tech centibillionaire made a humble plea on his website X — formerly Twitter — to his over two hundred million followers: "Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform." From many...

Elon Musk's name is synonymous with innovation, ambition and, well, a fair bit of controversy these days. But before he became the richest man in the world and the face of Tesla, SpaceX and social media drama, he was just a kid trying to escape a rough childhood – and a young man with a relentless determination to win over Justine Musk, his college sweetheart and eventual wife . Justine, who married Elon in 2000 and shares five children with him, has a unique perspective on his meteoric rise. She knew him back when he was just another student...

The world’s richest man is ranting at a twitch streamer over a video game. Another day in America. Elon Musk had a public-facing meltdown after being called out by popular streamer Asmongold for the way he (doesn’t) play the RPG Path of Exile 2. According to Asmongold, something is fishy about Musk’s playstyle, leading the streamer to comment that Musk isn’t actually a gamer at all, but rather hired someone else to play the game for him.

Elon Musk's complex relationship with his eldest daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has reportedly significantly influenced his recent life choices, including selling off his luxurious homes. Despite his efforts, it appears this move didn't have the outcome he had hoped for. A Painful Rift Musk's relationship with Vivian, formerly Xavier (after Elon’s favorite character in the X-Men comics), took a sharp turn four to five years ago. As Walter Isaacson, Musk’s biographer, told in an interview , Vivian announced her transition to him in a note saying, "I'm transitioning, my name is now Jenna and don't tell my father." She...

CNBC's Steve Kovach reports on the billionaire battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman.

Elon Musk disputes Trump’s $500 billion AI megaproject, citing major investor funding gaps and casting doubt on its scale.

Hollywood is weird. In a twist that seems ripped straight from a sci-fi screenplay, Elon Musk has once again captured the internet's undivided attention with his new robots. This time, it's not just about groundbreaking technology but also a brewing controversy over originality. At the much-anticipated "We, Robot" event, Musk unveiled Tesla's latest robots - Optimus, Robotaxi, and Robovan - only to find himself in the crosshairs of playful mockery and accusations of design theft from the 2004 blockbuster, 'I, Robot'.

Robert Downey Jr. recently shared his views on his MCU character Tony Stark being compared to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Introduced in 2008, Downey’s character quickly became a fan-favorite for his brilliance, cockiness, and savage personality. While his character is based on the Marvel comics, Iron Man authors gave it a bit of Musk touch, leading fans to call Musk the real-life iteration of Tony Stark. And now, RDJ has weighed in on Stark and Musk comparisons, seemingly expressing mixed feelings.

"What, if anything, can be learned from this case?" We tucked this question at the end of a poll asking Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers for their reaction to CBS 58 parting ways with meteorologist Sam Kuffel following posts on her private Instagram account that were critical of Elon Musk for an arm gesture that many have likened to a Nazi salute. It came during an event at Monday's presidential inauguration. Turns out that, actually, we can learn a lot. For starters, viewers forge deep connections with the faces on TV screens who deliver the local news, sports and weather....

This is just a periodic reminder that Elon Musk spent months desperately trying not to buy Twitter, and only did so because eventually it became obvious that a judge would force him to make good on the cockamamie contract he signed with the Twitter board in a short-lived fit of hubris.¹ So when you hear Musk talking about all his noble reasons for buying Twitter, it's just garden variety BS. He bought it because he lost a court battle to worm his way out of his agreement. That's it.

Elon Musk made a lot of promises about new Tesla products last night during the automaker's livestreamed "We, Robot" event. Those new Teslas included a robotic taxi, dubbed the "Cybercab" following Tesla's typical verbiage, not to mention a bigger, 20-seat autonomous version called "Robovan." The operative word during all of these announcements is "promises," of course, and the thing about those is that — particularly when you're Elon Musk (and by extension Tesla) — you don't have to deliver on them at all.

Elon Musk's latest project, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is making waves not just for its ambitious goal of overhauling alleged federal over-spending, but for its strikingly...

Elon Musk has again expressed his interest in creating an email service. The service is expected to run alongside X (formerly Twitter) as a direct alternative to Gmail. There seems to be no boundary to Elon Musk’s ambition, with the SpaceX and Tesla founder now turning his attention to something closer to home – email.
