Musk and Gor disliked each other since before Trump reclaimed power on Jan. 20 — with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing Gor as “sleazy” during the transition and questioning his staffing picks. But the world’s richest man had the president’s ear and friendship through last week. Simmering behind the scenes was a grudge nursed by Gor over a March 6 Cabinet meeting, during which Musk “humiliated” him by slamming the pace of staffing the administration, said the sources, each of whom have interacted closely with Gor. “He was bragging to other people that he was going to get one...

Firefighters were called to the scene after several eyewitnesses claimed to have seen President Trump setting fire to a local Tesla dealership this morning. The event seems to coincide with a bitter public falling out between Trump and Musk over a spending bill currently moving through Congress. "I thought we were friends, Elon! What happened to us?" President Trump reportedly cried as he lobbed a Molotov cocktail into the windshield of a 2025 Tesla Model 3. "I never liked Teslas. I always thought they were 3rd-rate cars anyway. And everything in them is computer, and I hate computers. Many people...

THE SHOW MUSK GO ON: President Donald Trump will host a vast “summer soiree” on the White House lawn this evening to celebrate thousands of political appointments to his government. But it’s one absent — and now very much former — political appointee who will dominate the conversation there and across Washington today. Elon Musk’s DOGE days might be behind him, but the world’s richest man still has the power to blow up U.S. politics with a single X post like few others can. And yesterday, he really went to town. A single post? You probably stopped counting, but Musk...

Former CNN contributor Chris Cillizza’s Tesla was defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi” during his son’s soccer tournament, prompting him to reflect on the increasing politicization of everyday products and its impact on American society. In a recent Substack post, former CNN commentator Chris Cillizza shared an incident involving his Tesla being defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi.” The incident occurred over the weekend while Cillizza was attending his son’s soccer tournament. The leftist used this experience as a springboard to discuss the growing trend of politicizing everyday products and how it is “making...

They burned Elon’s businesses to the ground. They vandalized Teslas across the country. They assaulted Tesla employees and Tesla drivers… …all because Elon found waste and fraud in government …and the GOP won’t even vote on the cuts I can’t wrap my head around this.

Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on 𝕏/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out. As evidenced by the 𝕏 uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made. The failover redundancy should have worked, but did not.

Karma took the wheel. The serial Tesla road-rage driver who landed back behind bars for allegedly assaulting a teen driver and her mother in Hawaii last week was found beaten to a bloody pulp in prison. Nathaniel Radimak, 39, was assaulted by inmates at Halawa Correctional Facility around 4:25 p.m. Monday, the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told ABC 7. In one viral video, Radimak jumped out of his charcoal-colored 2022 Tesla Model X with no license plates, armed with a pipe, and pummeled the truck behind him on Jan. 11, 2023. Another victim of Radimak’s rage, identified as...

Soros-backed prosecutor Mary Moriarty is being blasted for deciding not to file criminal charges against an admitted Tesla vandal and Minnesota government staffer, who caused $20,000 in damages to vehicles built by Elon Musk last month. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty — who has financial ties to George Soros — is facing backlash for not charging 33-year-old Minnesota state government employee Dylan Bryan Adams after he admitted to attacking six Tesla vehicles in a politically motivated vandalism spree last month. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says it will seek “diversion” over charges against Adams — a Minnesota Department of Human...

Tesla is fighting back at criticism of its Full Self-Driving features. The EV automaker took to the social media platform X to provide a robust defense of FSD's current state and future. While few would take issue with this point, many consumers have been underwhelmed with FSD's view of autonomy thus far, due to the need for drivers to be attentive. Tesla pushed back, "Although FSD Supervised currently does require your supervision, you will still notice that your commute or long drives are suddenly so much less taxing." Teslarati added context, saying FSD "has a ton of potential." And there...

Neil Young is facing criticism for a new song he wrote about “fascists” buying Teslas. The 79-year-old singer-songwriter debuted the song, reportedly titled “Let’s Roll Again,” at the Light Up the Blue charity concert in Los Angeles over the weekend. “If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla / It’s electric, it doesn’t matter / If you’re a Democrat, taste your freedom / Get whatever you want, taste your freedom,” Young could be heard singing in clips circulating on social media. “Come on Ford, come on GM / Come on Chrysler, let’s roll again,” the song continued. “Build something special that...

Sheryl Crow is opening up about her headline-making move against Elon Musk, saying the public protest of selling her Tesla was a way for her to fight for her children’s future. The “Soak Up the Sun” singer shared a video on Instagram in February of her Tesla being towed away, saying she was donating funds from the sale of the vehicle to NPR in response to Musk and President Trump’s calls to slash federal funding for public broadcasters. NPR, Crow said at the time, is “under threat” by Musk, the CEO of Tesla and head of the Department of Government...

Dylan Bryan Adams, one of Gov. Tim Walz's staff members, was observed doing $20,000 in damage to six Teslas. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says she will not seek criminal charges. "It really wouldn't be fair to Mr. Adams," Moriarty said. "First of all, his boss publicly praised the damage being done to Teslas because they are manufactured by Elon Musk's company. Musk is helping Trump destroy the country. While the Governor didn't expressly order Mr. Adams to join in this form of peaceful protest against a person the Governor hated, Mr. Adams can't be blamed for trying to please...

Owen McIntire, 19, is facing federal charges for allegedly tossing two Molotov cocktails into a Missouri Tesla dealership last month, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages to two Cybertrucks and two charging stations, according to the feds. The University of Massachusetts physics student was granted release by US Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges due to “serious and ongoing” medical needs — which include gender-affirming medical care that requires daily medication as well as mental health support, according to KMBC. McIntire is also on the autism spectrum and was diagnosed with both ADHD and depression, all of which require medications...
