We’ve all heard about the Strait of Hormuz, currently closed to most ship traffic as a result of a now six month long war of choice that seems to have no real strategy attached.

That’s why Elon Musk’s comments on an episode of the All-In Podcast about living in an Airstream travel trailer are so puzzling to some. Musk was on the podcast along with SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell. She commented that he needs to spend a bit more time in Memphis, Tennessee, overseeing the expansion of xAI’s massive data center there (SpaceX acquired xAI earlier this year). “This is coming to you from the palace…

That’s with tariffs and other trade barriers Chinese automakers face on imported electric vehicles in Europe. Meanwhile, in the UK, a market that doesn’t have such measures in place and “was a very profitable, very…

Tesla and SpaceX are asking a federal judge to rule that their planned Terafab chip factory does not infringe a small Illinois company’s trademark, a request that arrives only after months of quiet negotiation broke down this summer. The dispute traces to May 18, when Tesla filed three U.S. trademark applications for “Terafab” and “Tesla Terafab,” covering semiconductor chips and related chip making services. TERA-print LLC, a nanotechnology company that has held a federal trademark for “Tera-Fab” since 2021, responded five days later with a cease and desist letter.
