Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images Having all the money in the world probably means you have a pretty big house. Maybe even several houses. You can live anywhere you want and vacation anywhere else. 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…

Chinese automakers like BYD are quickly taking over global markets with low-cost electric vehicles, and Hyundai Motor’s CEO Jose Munoz warned the US could be next without safeguards. Hyundai warns of Chinese EVs entering the US Chinese vehicles are already 30% to 40% cheaper than comparable auto brands in some markets, like Italy, Spain, and France, Munoz told Reuters in San Jose, California, on Thursday. 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. According to the lawsuit, first reported by Reuters, TERA-print argued that…
Jeremy Clarkson is parting ways with three very special cars. These have a special place in The Grand Tour history. They are the Alfa Romeo GTV6, Lancia Montecarlo Spider and Lincoln Continental Mark V. The 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 appeared in the 2019 episode “Well Aged Scotch”, where Clarkson joined James May and Richard Hammond for a road trip along Scotland’s North Coast 500. Interestingly, Clarkson had owned a GTV6 before and regretted selling it. He later bought this example from its 83-year-old original owner, when it had covered just 20,000 miles. It now shows 28,315 miles. The 1978 Lincoln…
