BREAKING: Elon Musk on China in his new interview with CCTV Finance: “I generally recommend people go to China as much as they can, because China has so many things to see. I took the bullet train from Beijing to Xi’an. That was a great experience. The train stations are amazing. “The Terracotta Warriors are one of the wonders of the world. Just make sure you look out the window and aren’t on your phone, because there’s so much to see. Any words I say do not do justice to the incredible majesty that is China. It’s awesome.”

Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei called for slower AI development over one weekend, sending chip stocks down 5.9% as OpenAI delayed its IPO. Billionaire Elon Musk has thrown his weight behind a call to slow the development of artificial intelligence, reviving his warning that artificial general intelligence carries "significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons" in a weekend that rattled AI stocks worldwide. Musk, who runs Tesla and SpaceX, reshared the April 2023 post on Sept. 12, the same day Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a roughly 3,900-word essay urging the industry to "pace the frontier" so that safety...

An FBI special agent sought a criminal investigation into Elon Musk for asking government officials what they do all day, a newly declassified email reveals. Former Special Agent Kevin Gounaud emailed a colleague in February 2025 casting Musk’s use of his social media platform X to advertise the work of DOGE, his government efficiency initiative, as a criminal act. He likened it to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to exchange classified intelligence, according to the email declassified by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley. Gounaud floated the legal theory that weekly emails that...

If you didn’t see Elon Musk explain his vision of the future, you need to. He states that in ten years there will be “well over a billion humanoid robots” whose productivity per robot will be “five times that of a human.” He thinks this is a “conservative” estimate, and would put “serious betting money on” their being “more productive than all humans combined.” How will this happen? Musk says once you start making robots, “the robots will start manufacturing other robots, so you get a recursive effect. It starts slowly, but then grows at an explosive rate.” Necessity sparks...

Elon Musk’s super PAC is stealing voters’ personal information—again. The billionaire technocrat’s America PAC has launched an aggressive advertising campaign directing them to Vote Safe, a website claiming to provide users with information they need to “vote with confidence.” But all the while, the site is secretly collecting some information of its own, Judd Legum reported Tuesday on his substack Popular Information.Any visitors to the site will unwittingly hand over their full name, birthday, home address, email address, cellphone number, IP address, browser, location, voter registration status, and district, not to mention every link they click on and every page...

The richest man in the world, who was laser-focused on delivering Pennsylvania for President Donald Trump in 2024, is wielding his wallet in the Keystone State once again to support Republicans in three swing congressional districts ahead of the midterms. America PAC, Musk’s super PAC, has contributed roughly $12,000 apiece in support of U.S. Reps. Ryan Mackenzie, of Lehigh; Rob Bresnahan, of Lackawanna; and Scott Perry, of York — all GOP incumbents facing tough reelection challenges, according to an independent expenditure report filed Wednesday. Though small potatoes in comparison, America PAC’s contributions in Pa. come roughly two years after Musk...

This video features Elon Musk speaking at the G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he discusses the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, and global infrastructure.

Elon Musk reveals what happens when a rocket launch needs approval from Fish and Wildlife Elon: "Nonetheless, we were forced to kidnap a seal, strap it to a board, put headphones on the seal and play sonic boom sounds to it to see if it would be distressed." Elon: "This is an actual thing that happened. This is actually real. I have pictures." Before the seal, there was a shark. Elon: "One of the things that was a bit of a challenge at one point is that they were worried about our rocket hitting a shark." He asked for the...

Katherine Boyle just named Elon Musk's greatest contribution to America, and it isn't sitting on a launchpad. Boyle, General Partner at a16z: "I think that Elon's most important contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers … on how to work with their hands again." For a decade, America's sharpest technical minds optimized ad clicks and shipped messaging apps. Software consumed ambition. The physical world became something you abstracted into an API, not something you touched. Building real things became what you did if you couldn't code. Elon didn't reverse that with inspiration. He reversed it by building...

The globalist head of The Economist thinks that it's "far right" to want secure borders and legal immigration. If that's true, then this 2009 Chuck Schumer speech on immigration is one of the most far right speeches ever made. Schumer Video summary: "It argues that if those positions are far-right, then a 2009 speech by then-Senator Chuck Schumer on immigration ranks among the most far-right speeches ever given. The post includes a roughly 5-minute video clip of Schumer speaking at Georgetown Law in 2009, in which he discusses immigration enforcement, the need to control illegal immigration, and related policy points."

NEWS: Elon Musk rejects the far right label in an exchange with The Economist "I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely." He challenged the interviewer to say what is extreme about 3 positions. "Here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible. That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which of those three are far right fringe?" Elon then turned on the framing itself. "I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far...

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood is defending her fund's stake in SpaceX, declaring the aerospace and satellite network pioneer could become the "most important company in global history" despite the stock's recent slide and an upcoming $116 billion share unlock.
