Elon Musk Opens Tesla’s Texas Gigafactory With EDM-Fueled “Cyber Rodeo” Event
No one knows how to throw a company party quite like Elon Musk. An event called Cyber Rodeo marked the grand opening of Tesla’s new Austin-based Gigafactory, a site which is expected to employ 10,000 people. The factory, located in Travis Country, will play a key role in the future of the company. It will serve as the new corporate HQ for Tesla, and Musk himself expects the site will become the biggest cell factory in the world, according to the Austin American-Statesman. A development of this significance needs an equally epic opening party, which is exactly what the company delivered. The livestreamed event, which saw Musk showered in neon lights as he took the stage, was precluded by a shimmering show of coordinated drone technology. Scroll to Continue Recommended Artic...
SpaceXXX: Elon Musk Reportedly Denied Entry to Berlin Sex Club
Elon Musk has been on a tour of Berlin’s sex clubs, but Twitter’s largest shareholder may wish he had an edit button for a recent night out. Musk tweeted that he “refused to enter” the highly exclusive, sexually permissive techno nightclub Berghain, but according to reports in Vice, The Sun, and users on Reddit, he may have actually been denied entry. Musk has been in Germany to open the new Gigafactory, Europe’s first Tesla manufacturing facility. On Friday, he hit up the fetish and sex club KitKat, which uses as its motto, “Do what you want but stay in communication,” and which boasts a strict dress code that calls for either leather, latex, lingerie, fancy dress, swimming gear, superhero outfits, or nudity. It’s unclear which of those Musk chose; thankfully, pictures aren’t al...

Twitter Appoints Elon Musk To Its Board of Directors, MAGA Land Thinks This Is A Blessing
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: PATRICK PLEUL / Getty Electric car peddler Elon Musk is now fully invested in Twitter, literally, and social media has thoughts on the matter. If you don’t know, Musk flexed his money muscles and bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, making him the biggest shareholder just a week after he hinted at a “shakeup” in social media. Following his move, the man who has a history of manipulating the stock market with his tweets, Twitter’s stock surged as much as 27%, Bloomberg reports, which many also believed was a dig at the SEC, who were not fans of Musk’s stock tweets. Following Musk dropping a reported $2.89 billion stake in the company, Twitter happily announced that he was joining its board of directors, with current CEO Parag Agrawal saying Musk would be ...
Bitcoin dices with $46K as Elon Musk Twitter buy sends Dogecoin near 2-month highs
Bitcoin (BTC) traded in an uncertain territory on April 4 as the Wall Street open failed to unleash bullish continuation. BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView Trader gives $43,000 BTC near-term dip target Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping above and below the $46,000 mark on April 4, continuing a low-volatility few days. The pair had managed to seal a second week near the 2022 yearly open, with analysts already hoping for a breakout to $50,000 or even beyond. At the time of writing, however, there was still no sign of such an outcome, while Bitcoin stuck to an increasingly narrow low-timeframe trading range. “Bitcoin is not really clear to me; it could be because of a very slow weekend, which is disturbing a bit, [in...
Sven Väth Performs DJ Set at Elon Musk’s Tesla Gigafactory In Berlin
Tesla CEO Elon Musk enlisted electronic music legend Sven Väth to perform a DJ set at the grand opening of the Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin. Väth’s set went down in late February, east of Berlin in Gruenheide, where the factory was built. As his performance took place, crowds were shown new Tesla models via a neon-lit tunnel. His DJ set follows a huge rave that Musk organized at the site, aptly dubbed Giga-Fest, back in October prior to the factory’s opening. “Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time with Elon Musk again,” Väth wrote in an Instagram post. “I played some techno beats for his opening of the really gigantic GIGAFACTORY!!!” Väth and Musk are longtime friends. The pair were spotted together in 2020 after the German DJ ...
Elon Musk, Who Consistently Tries to Silence His Critics, Complains About Free Speech on Twitter
Elon Musk, a vindictive billionaire who has taken extreme steps to silence his critics, is suggesting not only that Twitter violates principals of free speech, but that the private company’s decision to moderate abusive content is a direct threat to democracy. The multi-day saga began in the early hours of March 25th. “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” he wrote. “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” The Tesla founder included a poll where his followers could vote ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ In a follow-up, he added, “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.” Perhaps unsurprisingly given the framing, about 70% of people clicked ‘no.’ So on March 26th, Musk retweeted his unscientific poll with an open-ended question: “Given that ...
Elon Musk Shares Transphobic Meme Following Report of Grimes Dating Chelsea Manning
Following reports that Elon Musk’s ex-partner Grimes has been dating Chelsea Manning, the billionaire expressed his feelings like many another emotionally-stunted bigot: by posting a transphobic meme on Twitter. Musk shared an image from the Sad Pablo Escobar meme template. It shows the character of Escobar (played by Wagner Moura in the Netflix series Narcos) sitting on a bench and looking forlorn. The ungrammatical text reads: “Netflix waiting for the war to end to make a movie about a black ukraine guy falls in love with a transgender russian soldier.” We’re not going to share it in this article, but you can find it here. Musk didn’t directly reference Manning, who is a trans woman. But this is not the first time he’s made derogatory jokes about the trans community, and during the ...
Grimes and Elon Musk Secretly Had a Second Baby In December 2021
It’s come to light that Grimes and Elon Musk secretly had another child. And the name isn’t quite as strange as their first baby—but still strange. In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes revealed that she gave birth to a new daughter in December 2021. Born via a surrogate, her name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and nicknamed “Y.” Grimes also said that her and the Tesla CEO plan on having more children “We’ve always wanted at least three or four,” she said. Grimes and Musk, who separated in September 2021, aren’t technically “together” at this time, but the former considers the latter her partner. “We’re best friends,” she told VF. “We see each other all t...
Crypto vs. physical: Musk-Saylor inflation debate boils down to scarcity
As rising inflation threatens to eat up further the purchasing power of the global fiat ecosystem, finding the perfect hedge against a falling economy has become the need of the hour — especially for the general public across the world. Joining this discussion online, Tesla CEO Elon Musk asked publicly about the probable inflation rate over the next few years to gauge the notion of global investors. Sharing his thoughts on the matter, American billionaire and MicroStrategy CEO Michael J. Saylor opined that with rising inflation, he expects the capital cash flow will move away from traditional fiat into scarce assets such as Bitcoin (BTC). USD consumer inflation will continue near all time highs, and asset inflation will run at double the rate of consumer inflation. Weaker currencies ...
