The company’s CEO, Elon Musk, revealed the third part of his “Master Plan,” which outlined ways that Tesla would reduce its manufacturing costs and grow to “extreme size.” Tesla has been buffeted by questions around demand, price, and management — especially in the wake of Musk’s disastrous acquisition of Twitter.

White House Gives Government Agencies 30 Days to Delete TikTok

Why climate credits for solar geoengineering are a bad idea
