What a week, huh? Yeah. Well, here we are, at the end of it, at the very least, and now looking toward the future. So how about some video games to take our minds off things for the weekend? This week we’ve got some fun shooters, some beat ‘em up actio...
Through its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering its 7-pack of Glide Y RGBIC Lights for $129.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. Normally going for $230, we’ve seen far less of a frequency of discounts over this year in com...
Jesse Keighin liked to stream Nintendo Switch games online before they were officially released and then gloat about it right in Nintendo’s face, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Mario maker in Colorado District Court earlier this week. “[I] ca...
In a striking development that poses grave ramifications for Elon Musk's status as the world's richest person, a Delaware court has now voided the Tesla CEO's 2018 compensation plan, widely believed to be the world's largest such executive pay package. Tesla underwent a trial in Delaware in 2022, where some shareholders asserted that Elon Musk's 2018 compensation plan should be voided by the court as it was a result of sham negotiations, with direct dictation from Musk himself. The plaintiffs argued that the shareholders, who ultimately approved the compensation plan, were never informed that Elon Musk directly dictated the specific […]
At a time when Tesla just suffered its biggest daily share price decline since 2020 on the back of a "disastrous" earnings call, Reuters is out with a report that Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant venture, has been flagged for storing hazardous materials without proper protocols. To wit, as per the documents viewed by Reuters, investigators belonging to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) found hazardous waste, including liquid Xylene - which is not only flammable but can also cause "headaches, dizziness, confusion, loss of muscle coordination and even death," as per the CDC - during an inspection of Neuralink's […]
Elon Musk played a gambit when he resolved to turn the X social media platform into a creator's paradise, hoping to use a growing pool of quality content creators as the proverbial honeypot to retain and expand X's user base. Of course, to attract content creators, you need big bucks. And judging from MrBeast's latest payout, X is certainly enabling the requisite massive windfall. X's ad revenue-sharing program for content creators currently has just three requirements: Subscription to X Premium or association with a verified organization At least 5 million organic impressions on cumulative posts within the last 3 months […]
Tesla shares are not partying with the rest of the "Magnificent 7" grouping of high-flying, growth-focused stocks, hammered by the residual fears of persistent demand weakness prompting additional price cuts, which then bleed into the company's all-important gross margin metrics. Consider the fact that the EV giant's shares are down around 13 percent in the first two weeks of 2024. Against this relatively morose backdrop, Elon Musk has now opened a whole new "can of worms" by publicly asking for a 25 percent voting control over Tesla, as per a new investment note from Jeffries. I am uncomfortable growing Tesla […]
Elon Musk famously sold Tesla shares worth billions of dollars in the past few years to pay off his tax liabilities and then to acquire the X social media platform at a nosebleed valuation. Those equity liquidations are now coming back to haunt him. I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned. Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla. You don’t seem to understand… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 15, […]
On January 9, X (formerly known as Twitter) announced its plans to begin the process of reinventing itself as the “everything app.” This will involve new uses for artificial intelligence, peer-to-peer payment systems, and a big emphasis on slamming ads...
