Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk says if people are negative about the present, then they aren’t reading enough history. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett also agree this is the best time to be alive.
Tesla vehicles are now confirmed to be used in Elon Musk’s Boring Company Loop project to create an electric people mover at Las Vegas’ massive convention center.
You can watch them break through the first tunnel in real time.
The tech entrepreneur announced an “awesome” update to his neurotechnology company’s work to connect brains to computers.
Elon Musk is recruiting for his AI team at Tesla, and he says education is “irrelevant.” The team members will report “directly” to Musk and “meet/email/text” with Musk “almost every day.” Musk will also throw a “super fun” party at his house with the Tesla artificial intelligence and autopilot teams.

Grimes has shared candid details about her pregnancy struggles in an Instagram message she shared on Friday.
So what’s Tesla to do? The answers may come in the Battery Day, a forthcoming explainer that could take place in April. The day is expected to be similar in setup to the Autonomy Day in April 2019, where Musk explained to investors the company’s progress on full self-driving capabilities.
What will they show? One of the standout features may be the company’s Maxwell Technologies acquisition. The $218 million deal, announced February 2019, brings in a firm working on exotic technologies like dry electrodes and ultracapacitors. The firm has also identified a pathway to raising battery density to 500 watt-hours per kilogram. Current batteries tend to weigh around 300 watt-hours, but a jump to 500 could enable advanced uses like an electric plane.
Musk confirmed during Wednesday’s call that Tesla is working with Maxwell, while also stating that its ultracapacitor technology is an “important piece of the puzzle.” This exotic technology could transform how energy is managed within the car, and Musk was actually planning to do his PhD at Stanford University on them before he dropped out.
Such a simple solution. Paint them black.
Elon Musk has promised SpaceX satellites won’t interfere with scientific discoveries — but scientists aren’t so sure.
