Yes, Elon Musk is significantly richer than the combined wealth of all British billionaires. As of early May 2026: Elon Musk's net worth is approximately $800–840 billion (Forbes real-time estimates around $789B–$839B recently, with peaks above $840B).

Tesla Robotaxi Unsupervised gets into a hotel parking lot that blocked off by an Amazon delivery vehicle, another vehicle, and a large Sysco delivery truck.

The front page of today’s New York Times features a big article clearly intended to get the readers riled up about the latest environmental horror that must be stopped. The headline is “The Illegal Airstrips Bringing Toxic Mining to Brazil’s Indigenous Land.” Subheadline: “The Times identified hundreds of airstrips that bring criminal mining operations to the most remote corners of the Amazon.” Wow, this is bad. The airstrips are “illegal.” The mining is “toxic,” and not only toxic but also “criminal.” And it’s all happening in the most pristine place left in the whole world, the “remote corners of the...

In a move that feels less like a corporate transaction and more like the final punchline to a 40-year industry rivalry, AMD announced Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire Intel, the company it has spent decades chasing, imitating, undercutting, suing, licensing from, and lately outperforming. The all-stock transaction, which AMD described as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to unify x86 innovation," would combine the two companies under a single umbrella just a few years after such an outcome would have sounded ridiculous. For most of modern computing history, Intel was the empire and AMD the scrappy survivor, the perpetual second source...

For generations, the conventional wisdom went something like this: serious money lives in New York. The serious decisions about who gets capital, who gets to list on an exchange, who gets to participate in the grand machinery of American finance—all of it emanated from a few square miles of lower Manhattan, governed by institutions so entrenched they seemed geological. Wall-Street wasn’t just an address. It was a statement about where power lived and who held it. That era is ending. And the remarkable thing isn’t simply that it’s ending — it’s why it’s ending, and what that tells us about...

In 2002, a part-time single mother at a small rocketry consultancy was driving on an LA freeway when she decided she was being an idiot for not taking a job at a startup with zero successful launches and seven employees. Gwynne Shotwell joined SpaceX as employee number seven. Her job: convince governments and corporations to buy rides on rockets that didn't exist yet. The Falcon 1 failed three times. On the fourth attempt, September 2008, it reached orbit. Two months later, Shotwell negotiated a $1.6 billion NASA contract that saved the company from bankruptcy. She was promoted to President the...

Fortune has named Tesla to its America’s Most Innovative Companies 2026 list, and the timing could not carry more weight. With Cybercab production ramping at Gigafactory Texas and a driverless Robotaxi service expanding to key cities in the US, Tesla’s inclusion is a direct reflection of the future of innovation happening right now. Fortune’s list, produced annually in partnership with Statista, evaluates 300 companies across three dimensions: product innovation, process innovation, and innovation culture. This year’s cohort of 300 generated over $12.5 trillion in combined revenue, and Tesla’s entry places it alongside Rivian, which made the list for the first...
