Elon Musk teased his latest philanthropic endeavor on Thursday: a contest meant to encourage more-innovative carbon-capture technologies. "Am donating $100M towards a prize for best carbon capture technology," Musk tweeted, adding that he would provide "details next week."

The CEO may no longer be the company's customer service department on Twitter.

Elon Musk is under siege by fellow billionaires at Amazon and Dish as he tries to get his fledgling space-based broadband service off the ground, with clashes involving airwave overload and the threat of satellite collisions.

The UK has given the green light for SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, and users in the country have already received their kit for the company's public beta test. Ofcom granted Elon Musk's aerospace company authorization for Starlink in November, a spokesman for the regulator told Insider on Monday. SpaceX began running a Starlink beta in the US in late 2020.

Elon Musk is planning to soon launch the prototype of a vehicle that could be a game-changer for space travel. Starship, as it's known, will be a fully reusable transport system capable of carrying up to 100 people to the Red Planet. The founding ethos of Elon Musk's private spaceflight company SpaceX was to make life multi-planetary. This is partly motivated by existential threats such as an asteroid collision big enough to wipe out humanity.

SpaceX has been awarded a $150.4 million contract to launch as many as 28 satellites for the Pentagon’s space agency, the Defense Department announced Dec. 31.

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk says the biggest problem with corporate America today is that too many business school graduates are running the show. “I think that there might be too many MBAs running companies,” Musk said Tuesday at the WSJ CEO Summit.

Elon Musk made a statement this year when he moved up the ranks to become the world’s second richest person behind Jeff Bezos after a surge in his electric car company’s shares. If rumours are true though, there could be another move on the way for the SpaceX and Tesla founder: a relocation to a different state with lower taxes.

Elon Musk has passed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to become the world’s second richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The Tesla CEO’s net worth now sits at around $128 billion, after increasing by $100 billion this year. There is a sizable gap between Musk and the number one spot, which is currently held by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos who has a reported net worth of around $182 billion. In January, Musk ranked 35th on the list, Bloomberg reports.

Elon Musk wants to build a city on Mars, but Werner Herzog says the plan is unequivocally a "mistake." SpaceX CEO Musk has a plan to send the first humans to Mars in the mid-2020s, using the under-development Starship rocket. Once they get there, Musk wants to build out a self-sustaining, million-strong city on Mars by 2050.

It’s not exactly a secret that Elon Musk, billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, self-proclaimed Thai pedophilia expert, and designer of death race trucks, doesn’t give a flying fuck what other people think about his actions.

Hey, who needs rules on the Red Planet? Users who downloaded SpaceX's new Starlink app noticed something fishy this week: The software’s terms of service claim there’s no law in place that will govern life on Mars, or just off of Earth at all. We’re not lawyers ... but is that something Elon Musk and SpaceX can even enforce?

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has engaged himself with conquering the solar system, with his first mission being Mars. The South African-born billionaire may have to compete with aliens when occupying a planet, but he doesn’t think so.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has launched 60 more Starlink satellites into Falcon 9 rocket to be positioned in low-Earth orbit, bringing the constellation to 788 as the aerospace company gears up for a public beta of the satellite broadband service that is expected to fit inside the budget of most users.

SpaceX is almost ready to start building a permanent human settlement on Mars with its massive Starship rocket. The private spaceflight company is on track to launch its first uncrewed mission to Mars in as little as four years from now, SpaceX's founder and CEO Elon Musk said Friday (Oct. 16) at the International Mars Society Convention.

In a tweet yesterday, Elon Musk suggested we could all pay a little more tribute to the powerful orb that keeps our planet alive. Musk said the sun—that “free fusion reactor in the sky”—can power all of civilization. Solar energy runs through many of Musk’s long-term plans, and as the cost of solar technology falls, the SpaceX/Tesla/Boring Company head honcho will likely invest even more—sending a powerful message to other business and community leaders around the world.

Elon Musk's SpaceX and the US military plan to build a rocket capable of delivering 80 metric tons of cargo anywhere in the world in 60 minutes. Under a newly agreed contract, SpaceX will assess the costs and technical challenges of the project, while initial tests are expected in 2021, Gen. Stephen Lyons, the head of US Transportation Command, said Wednesday at a virtual conference.

It’s difficult not admiring Elon Musk’s tenacity for technological breakthroughs. His desire to solve genuinely difficult problems to help advance humanity is phenomenal. Among his growing list of ambitious ventures is Starlink, a project I feel is bound to be his most impactful endeavor given its immediate socio-political implications.

On Friday, the SpaceX CEO suggested a dramatic photo of a company launch showing a Falcon 9 rocket soaring into the air against the Sun could be the flag of Mars. Musk responded via Twitter to the photo, posted by photographer John Kraus, which shows the Falcon 9 sending up 60 satellites for the firm's Starlink internet connectivity constellation.

The monumental Tesla Battery Day last week clearly wasn’t as monumental for some as they had expected. The day after the much-anticipated event, Tesla shares dropped by nearly 10%. This seems to be partly because the “million mile battery” wasn’t part of the presentation. The fickle investment community was hoping for an easily understood revolutionary announcement like an EV battery that will do a million miles without needing replacement.
