A couple of days ago, the all-time famous Elon Musk decided to finally call it quits with crypto scams. He tweeted to the founder of Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, seeking his kind assistance with the nerve wrecking tricks of scam bots.

Musk said he plans to use his future Starlink satellite system to broadcast the mission.

Tesla shares sank by as much as 7.1 percent Tuesday after Bloomberg News said the company is facing a criminal probe over CEO Elon Musk's tweets about taking the company private. Bloomberg said the Justice Department is running the criminal investigation in tandem with a civil securities fraud probe of Musk's comments. It cited two people familiar with the matter. Tesla acknowledged the agency asked for documents from the company after Musk's now infamous tweet in a statement released Tuesday:

On a Monday night filled with emotion as much as engineering, one of the most poignant moments came toward the end of the program at SpaceX's rocket factory in California. The company's founder, Elon Musk, choked up as he described the financial contribution from a Japanese businessman, Yusaku Maezawa, to his Big Falcon Rocket project. "I’ll tell you, it’s done a lot to restore my faith in humanity," Musk said, seated in front of the end of a Falcon 9 rocket and its nine engines.

SpaceX revealed Monday that Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be its first space tourist. Maezawa has chartered a flight aboard the company's Big Falcon Rocket, which is still being developed, for a slingshot trip around the Moon as soon as 2023. He's planning to take six to eight artists with him on the mission free of charge.

A British cave diver is suing tech billionaire Elon Musk for defamation after his repeated claims the diver is a child abuser. Vernon Unsworth helped with the rescue of 12 Thai teenagers from a flooded cave in July. Mr Musk has made several accusations against Mr Unsworth without evidence, including that he was a "child rapist".

It's going to be a big night for space tourism. The private spaceflight company SpaceX will reveal its first passenger for a trip around the moon on the company's massive BFR rocket and you can watch it all live online. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has even dropped tantalizing previews of the BFR's new rocket design on Twitter.

The moon may soon get its first tourist — and first human visitor in more than four decades. SpaceX announced Thursday that it's booked the world's first private passenger to the moon. Elon Musk's space technology company said on Twitter the unnamed traveler would board its BFR (or Big Falcon Rocket) to the moon, where only 24 people have ever traveled. Only 12 of those people actually walked on the moon, and they were all Americans.

Elon Musk has confirmed plans for the Boring Company’s tunnel network to be able to connect all the way to residential garages so that commuters can enter the high-speed loop directly from their homes. The project was first revealed by The Mercury News as The Boring Company sought and was granted approval from the Hawthorne City Council to build a shaft on a newly acquired property over their test tunnel.

SpaceX has signed its first customer to fly on the company’s huge new rocket, the BFR, the company says. The passenger will fly on the monster ship around the Moon, though there are no details yet regarding when the trip will happen. SpaceX says it will announce who is flying — and why — on Monday, September 17th. The BFR, or the Big Falcon Rocket, is the giant rocket that SpaceX is currently developing to send humans to the Moon and Mars. The BFR design, presentated by CEO Elon Musk last year, consists of a combined rocket and spaceship, called the BFS for Big Falcon Spaceship.

For two years Dezzimond Vaughn was a well-regarded worker at the Tesla factory in Lathrop, California. Then he became involved in trying to organize a union and suddenly his job was on the line. “They started changing rules without any remorse,” Vaughn, a 31-year-old former Tesla computer-numeric-controlled (CNC) heavy machinery operator, told the Guardian. He cited a strict attendance policy Tesla implemented and backdated that deducted points from employees every time they clocked in late or were absent.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk added yet another wearying episode to our multi-month-long Musk news cycle this week by smoking weed on camera with podcast host Joe Rogan, sending Tesla’s stock tumbling and triggering yet more speculation about his capacity to serve as CEO. But the episode may have bigger ramifications over at SpaceX, which is a federal contractor and privy to classified information like the details of government satellites.

Speaking on a panel titled “Future of Space” at a 2018 conference for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) 60th anniversary, SpaceX COO and President Gwynne Shotwell reportedly confirmed that SpaceX is still targeting integrated BFR tests in 2019, in the form of hops with the next-gen rocket’s upper stage (known as BFS).

The emails say "WTF."

Elon Musk has escalated his baseless attacks against a British diver, claiming without evidence that the man who helped rescue children from a cave in Thailand was a “child rapist” in an email to a reporter. The embattled Tesla CEO faced widespread backlash in July when he first called the diver Vernon Unsworth a “pedo” in a tweet – an unfounded claim against a man who was part of the international team that freed 12 young footballers and their coach from the Tham Luang cave complex.

Shares of electric car maker Tesla Inc. fell more than 6 percent early Friday after the CEO appeared to smoke marijuana during an interview and the company's accounting chief left after a month on the job. CEO Elon Musk appeared on "The Joe Rogan Experience" overnight. About two hours into the podcast, which can be seen on YouTube, Musk inhales from what the host says is a combined marijuana-tobacco joint, which Rogan notes is legal. Rogan passes the joint to Musk, who also takes a sip of whiskey.

Granted my undergraduate degree is in psychology... this makes no sense to me: What puzzles me about Elon Musk is his plan to mine / colonize the solar system in respect to rockets. Given electro-magnetic - gravitic tech has existed since T Townsend Brown and Searle since the 1920''s, one would think that if anyone would be developing, using Tesla tech it would be Elon Musk - yes (?) https://abcn.ws/2NZ5kl1 

Tesla will remain a publicly traded company, CEO Elon Musk said late Friday, just weeks after he floated the idea of going private in order to ward off short-sellers and volatility in the company's stock. In early August, Musk touched off a firestorm by saying on Twitter that he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 per share, adding that funding was "secured." In the wake of that announcement, the billionaire and his company have been buffeted by skepticism, in addition to the threat of a regulatory probe.

Billionaire tech executive Elon Musk has revived his internet tirade against a British cave explorer, weeks after Musk apologized for calling the man a "pedo." Musk, chief executive of automaker Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, said on Twitter on Tuesday that the diver hadn’t sued him over the slur that Musk used in July — and asked whether the absence of a lawsuit wasn't "strange."

Elon Musk was apparently none too happy when British cave diver Vern Unsworth said the submarine Musk built — and shouted about to the world on Twitter and in the New York Times — was a “PR stunt” and that he should stick said sub “where it hurts.” So much so that Musk logged on to Twitter and proclaimed Unsworth a “pedo,” without any evidence to back his claims, to his 22 million followers.

Elon Musk's new startup, Neuralink, is developing a technology called Neural Lace that could enable humans to upload and download information directly from a computer.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk needs to make more cars. The company has fallen short of Model 3 production goals since it started making the mass-market car last summer, promising 5,000 cars per week by the end of 2017 but only delivering 2,425 a week over the last three months of the year. In an effort to drastically ramp up production, Tesla employees are now tinkering with the core designs of the Model 3 car and the production process, detailed by a New York Times report (paywall), something that experts say is unprecedented.

What is that saying about life and art again? Elon Musk has sent engineers from his SpaceX and Boring Company teams to assist with the rescue efforts of the boys' soccer team stuck in a cave system in Thailand.

Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that a team of SpaceX engineers is hours away from completing work on a "tiny kid-sized submarine" that could be used to extract 12 teenagers and preteens who are stranded with their soccer coach in a flooded cave in Thailand. Musk has had a team of engineers working on the problem for the last couple of days and has been keeping the world updated on the work via Twitter.

Device likely won't be needed but Musk is sending it to Thailand just in case.

American space entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted that he was in Thailand on Tuesday with a prototype mini-sub, at the flooded cave where five members of a youth football team remained trapped.

Billionaire Elon Musk has committed to fund efforts to fix Flint homes that still have contaminated water.

SpaceX’s specialized boat aimed at catching falling rocket parts just got a sizable upgrade. The vessel, called Mr. Steven, now boasts an even more massive net, one that’s four times the size of the one it had before. That larger surface area should help increase the chances of Mr. Steven actually making a catch, which it hasn’t been able to do.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he believes the Model 3 is the last product on which the company will have to bet its livelihood in an interview with Bloomberg. "I believe Model 3 is the last bet-the-company situation," he said. "To the best of my judgment, I do not think we have any future bet-the-company situations. We will still need to work hard and be vigilant and not be complacent because it is very difficult just to survive as a car company. But it will not be the same level of strain as getting to volume production of Model 3."

Elon Musk has called a British diver who helped rescue schoolboys from a flooded cave in Thailand ‘pedo guy’ on Twitter. The entrepreneur’s outburst came after diver Vern Unsworth told Mr Musk to “stick his submarine where it hurts” after describing his offer to help with a miniature submersible as a “PR stunt”. Mr Musk travelled to the Tham Luang caverns in Chiang Rai this week and presented the six-foot submarine - which he said could help free 12 schoolboys stranded for weeks inside the cave.

Elon Musk launched into a blistering Twitter tirade on Sunday against a British explorer who helped spearhead the rescue of a youth soccer team trapped in a Thailand cave — only to delete his posts after coming under withering criticism. The flame war between Tesla's CEO and Vernon Unsworth, a spelunker who helped rescuers find the Thai soccer team, began after Unsworth made an appearance on CNN and criticized Musk's idea to use a miniature submarine.

Tesla’s stock lost 4% of its value Monday following a rough weekend for its CEO Elon Musk. Musk, who has taken to Twitter in recent weeks to combat his critics, drew criticism this weekend after calling a diver involved in the rescue of a Thai soccer team a “pedo.” The diver, Vern Unsworth, had criticized Musk’s effort to create a small submarine to rescue the soccer team members.

For cryptocurrency scammers, imitation is the sincerest form of fraud.

On Monday, a study published in Nature Astronomy took an exhaustive look at what it would take to terraform the Red Planet and fulfill generations of sci-fi dreams. In it, leading Mars experts tallied the planet’s stores of carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, and gauged the likelihood of releasing all that CO2 to create a stable atmosphere — one thick enough to have liquid water on the surface.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates hailed Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his company’s work in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Gates tweeted that Musk’s AI business, OpenAI, had achieved a milestone in the advancement of the technology, which has grown significantly in the past few years.
