    SpaceX warned on Wednesday that Virginia is planning to spend over ten times what was required for its proposed high-speed internet access program by not sharing a large chunk of the incentives for Starlink. In a letter addressed to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, SpaceX said that the final proposal for the program was a “massive waste of federal taxpayer money,” before noting that SpaceX could have served virtually every eligible household at $60 million, compared with the $613 million in expenditure proposed by the Commonwealth. “Simply put, Virginia has put its heavy thumb on the scale...

    My startling chat with Grok Grok tries to serve Elon Musk, the aggressive censors at X, and me X deleted several of my posts with no explanation. Instead of complaining to X, I contacted Grok and asked why my posts were being vaporized. We communicated for 45 minutes, which resulted in more than 25 pages of single-space copy! People wonder what AI is all about. I can report that Grok does everything super-fast. He (she if you prefer) does not make grammatical or spelling mistakes. Like me, he loves alliteration. Whatever you say, he weaves that into his conversation so...

    Channel 3000 News/AP ^ | August 2, 2025 | AP Bitter LOSERS
    A Miami jury decided that Elon Musk’s car company Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash in Florida involving its Autopilot driver assist technology and must pay the victims more than $200 million in punitive damages. The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive...

    Elon Musk joined the outpouring of outrage after a man and woman were beaten to a pulp by an unruly mob after an Ohio jazz festival. The victims were brutally attacked Friday night in downtown Cincinnati after being swarmed by the violent crowd, video of the horrific attack showed. A man in a white t-shirt is apparently shoved to ground by two men and repeatedly beaten as other members of the crowd jeer and join in. The gang batters the man for nearly a minute as he lay in the middle of the street, seemingly stepping on his head multiple...
  • Trump's attempt to terminate Musk's contracts backfires as review reveals NASA's reliance on SpaceX

    The Daily Mail ^ | 20 Jul 2025 | BRITTANY CHAIN
    Donald Trump's efforts to cut ties with Elon Musk and SpaceX hit a road block when a formal review laid out just how crucial his contracts are to America's dominance in space. Trump had suggested at the height of his feud with the world's richest man that the administration could save millions of dollars by 'terminating' government contracts with Musk's companies, which would force him to 'head back home to South Africa.' The relationship had spectacularly combusted over Musk's criticism of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill and personal attacks about the president's former relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Days...

    With the impending expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit, Tesla and Ford are desperately pushing potential buyers to make their purchases before the September 30 deadline. Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has ended the EV handout, much to the dismay of Elon Musk, Ford, and others trying to sell EVs to Americans who have not embraced the technology. Business Insider reports that the race is on for automakers to sell as many EVs as possible before the $7,500 tax credit, a crucial incentive for buyers, comes to an end on September 30. President Donald Trump’s recently passed Big Beautiful...

    “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote in a post on his social platform X, alongside a video of the former president standing and raising his fist after being shot in the ear. The tech billionaire, who owns Tesla and SpaceX along with the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has feuded with President Biden in recent years and indicated he would be supporting GOP candidates. In March Musk said on X he voted “100% Dem until a few years ago,” but “now, I think we need a red wave or America is...

    Senate Republicans fear Elon Musk’s beef with President Trump could become a wild-card factor that could cost them seats in 2026 if Musk follows through on his threat to create a new political party to compete with the GOP. GOP lawmakers note that third-party candidates have swung presidential and Senate races in the past and worry that Musk’s bid to establish an “America Party” is likely to peel off more Republicans than Democratic voters in key races. Musk, if he moves forward with his plans, is expected to make reducing the federal debt a key plank of his new party,...

    Elon Musk is threatening to primary Republicans who voted for President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” posing a challenge for the president and his allies as they look to defy midterm headwinds. Musk vowed earlier this week that Republicans who supported Trump’s megabill “will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth” as the Tesla CEO has reignited his feud with Trump in recent days. Republicans see the comments as unhelpful, with some saying if the threats come to fruition, it could risk diverting resources away in an election environment that historically hasn’t...

    US President Donald Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) ally Laura Loomer predicted on Sunday that three famous Americans-- including Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie-- will join billionaire Elon Musk's new America Party. Following through on his threat, Trump's former presidential advisor and the world's richest person, announced the launch of his new political party in the United States earlier today, just a day after US President Donald Trump signed the Big, Beautiful Bill into law. Taking to X, Loomer wrote, "I predict Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Thomas Massie will join the new 'America Party' to spite...

    Elon Musk said Saturday he was launching the "America Party" after President Trump signed his historic spending bill. In a falling out with the president, Musk has been critical of the bill in recent weeks and said he would start a new political party if it passed. Musk said the party could start by targeting a select number of seats in Congress.

    The new US political party that Elon Musk has boasted about bankrolling could initially focus on a handful of attainable House and Senate seats while striving to be the decisive vote on major issues amid the thin margins in Congress. Tesla and SpaceX’s multibillionaire CEO mused about that approach on Friday in a post on X, the social media platform he owns, as he continued feuding with Donald Trump over the spending bill that the president has signed into law. On Saturday, without immediately elaborating, the former Trump adviser announced on X that he had created the so-called America party....
