Shivon Zilis says she had a fourth child with Musk. This comes after the pair named one of their first kids with a name that Grimes, a different Elon partner, had reserved for her own child. It also follows a different woman, Ashley St. Clair, revealing that Musk fathered her child a few weeks ago.

I'm not hung up on the whole "masculine energy" thing, but if I were the contrast between a humble, steadfast leader trying to defend his people from an unprovoked invasion and comfortable, cowardly blowhards trying to humiliate him into surrender would have me thinking hard about how I define it.

New Yorker's editor-in-chief David Remnick expresses frustration with Democratic Party leadership, asking "when is the opposition going to come?" He then criticizes Hakeem Jeffries' remark that one shouldn't swing at every pitch, saying: "What pitch are the Democrats going to swing at finally?"

I'm almost impressed by the 3-layered bullshit of these "Epstein Files": 1. Instead of putting the files online for all to see, a single centralized group gets them. 2. And it's not even a group of competent journalists—it's people like the LibsOfTikTok lady. 3. And the documents...aren't even new?

As I warned: it's the bullshit "Twitter files" all over again. Take uninteresting, unsurprising documents, give them to the dumbest, most gullible people... And watch them craft conspiracy theories out of their own ignorance.

The mass adoption of generative AI tools is always bad news, whether in China, the US, or anywhere else. I can understand China’s pride at showing up US AI companies, but that doesn’t mean they should be reckless.

Is no one at @arstechnica.com mgmt even remotely curious why their Space Editor, Eric Berger, will shit out endless gadfly gossip stories but ignores Elon Musk grooming interns or commiting one of the most egregious acts of government fraud in recent history to benefit SpaceX (a space company btw)?

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Tesla stock has been falling sharply, but it's reached the 200 day moving average, a critical psychological breaking point for traders. That means we can't get complacent. The most important moment to sell Tesla stock is right now. This week. Flush this turd before it fights back! #TeslaTakedown

It’s always a pleasure to have @niedermeyer.online on the show, but especially as Elon Musk remakes the US government, we need to understand there are means at our disposal to curtail his power by targeting his companies — Tesla in particular.

The lawsuit about this is going to be real fun, especially considering the tweets Musk is posting where he straight up brags about his no-bid corruption being a direct result of his role in the government

Once again, just like with Musk and Twitter, these fucking idiots don't understand what was already happening, rip it down, and then try to rebuild the same thing, but way dumber, because they can't understand nuance and complexity.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

i keep seeing the right argue that the nazi salutes are "trolling." i think there's some truth to that, but know what exactly is being mocked. they aren't mocking the idea that they could be nazis, they're mocking the idea that they should care one way or the other.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

39% of Toyota sales in 2024 were hybrids. In Europe, 31% of 2024 car sales were hybrids while only 15% were BEVs. BEVs are a losing proposition for the average consumer who doesn't have a charging station at their apartment or can't afford the average $45,000 cost.
