Last year, the Cybertruck spiraled into market irrelevance while the rest of the EV market found its footing, as the pickup experienced the single biggest sales collapse of any electric vehicle in the United States. Elon Musk's flailing company managed to move only an estimated 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025. And that's counting the units that Musk reportedly bought for himself through SpaceX and xAI to avoid further ridicule.
Elon Musk has launched a $134 billion lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming both companies unjustly profited from his early backing of the artificial intelligence pioneer and abandoned its founding mission. In a federal court filing on Friday, lawyers for Elon Musk said OpenAI gained between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion as a result of Musk's initial funding, reputation and strategic input after he co-founded the organisation in 2015.
Zoom out: After a bitter falling out with President Trump last year and threatening to start a third party, Musk is now firmly back in the GOP camp. Those donations followed a November dinner Musk had with Vice President Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich. Musk has indicated privately to Republican operatives that he plans to give more.
Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, was reportedly down for tens of thousands of users worldwide on Friday, according to a site that keeps track of online outages. Over 41,000 issues were reported with the controversial microblogging site in the United States alone, with another 8,000 in the United Kingdom and 2,400 in India, according to DownDetector.
Nazi-sympathizer and billionaire Elon Musk said he wants full custody of the son he had with conservative author Ashley St. Clair, claiming that "her statements [imply] she might transition a one-year-old boy." Musk's comment came after St. Clair publicly criticized Musk for helping generate pornographic images of kids and apologizing for her past transphobia. Musk already has an estranged trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has disavowed his transphobia.
The conservative writer and political strategist Ashley St Clair had just put her young son to bed when she received a text from a friend with a link to a page on X. When she opened it, she says she saw a photo of Grok undressing me and putting me in a bikini'. St Clair was not alone. In recent weeks, countless women have found their images digitally manipulated online by Grok, at the request of X users, to disrobe them.
The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) report, citing data from Forbes, has found that U.S. billionaires' assets surged by a whopping 21 percent in 2025. The 935 billionaires in the U.S. now control $8.1 trillion in wealth, the analysis found - nearly double the amount of wealth held by the bottom 50 percent of Americans, which comprises over 170 million people. Roughly a dozen of these billionaires work in the Trump administration.
Elon Musk's chatbot has spent the last week flooding X with nonconsensual, sexualized deepfakes of adults and minors. Circulating screenshots show Grok complying with requests to put real women in lingerie and make them spread their legs, and to put small children in bikinis. At one point, Grok was generating about one nonconsensual sexualized image per minute, according to one estimate.
Elon Musk is at the polar opposite end of the wealth spectrum - worth so much on paper that he can gain or lose tens of billions of dollars and barely move the needle on his net worth. After just two trading days this year, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has added $24 billion to his personal fortune, lifting it by about 4% to $644 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
