Elon Musk’s pledge to fix South Australia’s energy issues prompts Ukrainian PM to get in touch
Elon Musk's pledge to fix South Australia's energy crisis within 100 days, or do it for free if he doesn't meet the deadline, has prompted calls from citizens of New Zealand and the Ukrainian prime minister for the billionaire to bring similar projects to their own countries. Storms have caused severe blackouts in the Australian state leading to price spikes with local energy firms struggling to meet demand as a result of damage to infrastructure.

Tesla’s $169 Million Battery Play Is Just the Beginning

Last week, Elon Musk wagered he could address South Australia’s energy crisis with 100 megawatts (MW) of batteries installed in 100 days or less—“or it’s free.” The exchange blew up on Twitter and led to phone calls between Musk and leading Australian politicians, including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. (Ukraine Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroisman later chimed in that he’s interested, too.)

Elon Musk invested early in DeepMind just to keep tabs on the progress of AI
Elon Musk is a well-known harbinger of the potential for ill held by artificial intelligence. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also helped start OpenAI, a group with a broad mandate that focuses on developing AI out (as the name implies) in the open, rather than behind closed doors as the exclusive province of high-powered governments and secretive private contractors. Musk, it turns out, was in on the AI train early with an investment in DeepMind, which was later acquired by Google.

The Car That Will Kill The Model 3 - How Will The Tesla Story End?
In this video we are going to talk about the car that is going to kill off the Tesla Model 3. I am not planning to do a lot of these talking videos, but lately there has been so much news about Tesla that I felt that this needed a video. Tesla has been a very unique company and people didn't know what to do or think about Tesla. Every new electric car that came out analyst have been saying that that would be the new Tesla killer.

How Elon Musk learns faster and better than everyone else
How is it even possible that Elon Musk could build four multibillion companies by his mid-40s — in four separate fields (software, energy, transportation, and aerospace)? To explain Musk’s success, others have pointed to his heroic work ethic (he regularly works 85-hour weeks), his ability to set reality-distorting visions for the future, and his incredible resilience. But all of these felt unsatisfactory to me. Plenty of people have these traits. I wanted to know what he did differently.

Elon Musk sees 'clear path' to Tesla being worth more than Apple one day
Elon Musk raised eyebrows on the Tesla earnings call Wednesday night by claiming the electric car maker was on track to become one of the most valuable companies in the world. "A couple years ago when the stock was at $200 … you outlined a scenario where you could get to $700 billion in market cap. That's about where Apple was at the time. We're two years later, you're obviously close to the Model 3 launch, how are you looking at that?" Barclays analyst Brian Johnson asked on Tesla's first-quarter conference call Wednesday, according to a FactSet transcript.

Although the CEO is trying to save details for the big reveal later in the year, he couldn’t help but leak a few details on Wednesday as to why the all-electric truck is going to be an impressive vehicle. And it involves the Tesla Model 3. “I don’t want to jump the gun on the Tesla Semi Truck unveiling later this year, but I think it’s going to be an incredible product and we’ll defy people’s expectations of what an electric truck can do,” Musk said during the company’s first-quarter 2017 earnings call.

The Boring Company - Why Tunnels? (FAQ)
To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of road tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company.
