Succession is a brain-breaking show; once you see it, you see it everywhere. So it goes with Courtney Love, who approved her late husband’s song “Rape Me” for an episode of the HBO series in November, and who is now using it as ammunition in an attack on Elon Musk. After the billionaire tweeted a rude comment about Senator Bernie Sanders, Love called him out for acting like Succession‘s number one birthday boy, naming Musk’s behavior as, “Kendall Roy shit.” Love’s December 2nd tweet was a little late to the party; Musk’s attack on Sanders happened on November 14th. After the senator posted, “We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period,” Musk responded, “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive.” It’s the kind of thing Musk probably says all the time to his ...
America’s entertainment capital is on the brink of receiving a major infrastructure upgrade thanks to Elon Musk. Musk and The Boring Company have earned approval from Las Vegas officials to begin building an extensive network of underground tunnels designed to alleviate soul-crushing traffic, The Verge reports. Pre-pandemic levels for Las Vegas tourism have historically topped around 42 million annual visitors. Vegas is the second biggest tourist attraction in the United States after New York City. And with such scale, of course, comes traffic-related headaches. Enter “Vegas Loop,” The Boring Company’s pitch for a 29-mile long network of tunnels designed to circulate the Las Vegas Strip. Notable landmarks along the route will include McCarran International...
Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory complex isn’t producing vehicles yet, but it did hold its first rave over the weekend. Tesla CEO Elon Musk had previously quipped that he’d been considering whether various areas of the complex, including the solar panel-dotted rooftop, might be suitable for a “mega rave cave.” Now, with Giga Fest, he’s made good on his intentions. The county fair-style attraction featured arcade games, carnival rides, Tesla accelerator ride-alongs, and a marathon of DJ sets spanning the day from morning to sundown. The rave drew in an estimated 9,000 attendees mainly from the surrounding areas of Brandenburg and Berlin, Insider reports. Musk, a techno music enthusiast, and dance music producer himself, als...
Last week, the art-pop singer released a new song titled “Love” that addresses her feelings about the heightened media scrutiny surrounding her personal life and directly called out members of the paparazzi who’ve reportedly harassed her. “I wrote and produced this song this week in response to all the privacy invasion, bad press, online hate and harassment by paparazzis I’ve experienced this week,” she wrote on Instagram. In late September, Musk confirmed he and Grimes had broken up after dating for three years in a statement to Page Six, and explained what their co-parenting strategies are like with their 1-year-old son, X Æ A-12. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” M...
Nothing lasts forever: Grimes and her baby’s father Elon Musk have broken up. Page Six confirmed the split with a statement from Musk himself. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” explained Musk. “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.” Grimes and Musk came out as a couple at Met Gala in May 2018. The couple’s son X Æ A-12 was born last year, although they later had to change the baby’s name to X Æ A-Xii comply with California law. Throughout their three-year relationship, Grimes has consistently come to the defense of Musk, one of the richest people on the planet....
On August 19th Tesla hosted “AI Day,” which came with a spate of details about the company’s innovative technology for their vehicles—and an AI robot. Dubbed Tesla Bot, its purpose will be to eliminate tasks that are considered “dangerous, repetitive and boring” such as using a wrench to fix a car part, according to CEO Elon Musk. The technology behind Tesla Bot is reportedly derived from the same mechanics powering its vehicles. “It makes sense to put that onto humanoid form,” Musk said. “This, I think, will be quite profound. Essentially, in the future, physical work will be a choice. If you want to do it, you can, but you won’t need to do it.” Elon Musk. Dan Taylor/Heisenberg Media Tesla Bot was announ...
