Elon Musk

The most important AI trial in history just detonated. Ilya Sutskever — OpenAI co-founder, former chief scientist, and one of the most respected minds in artificial intelligence — took the stand in an Oakland courtroom on Monday and delivered sworn testimony that should make every OpenAI investor lose sleep. He spent a year building a 52-page dossier documenting what he called Sam Altman’s “consistent pattern of lying.” Not rumors. Not anonymous tips. Sworn testimony from the man who helped build the technology behind ChatGPT. ...

The AI industry has a flair for the dramatic, but even by 2026 standards, Anthropic’s “Code with Claude” developer day in San Francisco was something else. In a single afternoon, the company announced it’s renting the entirety of Elon Musk’s Colossus 1 data center and unveiled a feature called “dreaming” that lets its AI agents review their own work and self-improve between sessions. Both announcements signal very different but equally important shifts in the AI race. ...

The most consequential courtroom drama in AI history kicked off today in an Oakland federal courthouse. Elon Musk — world’s richest person, OpenAI co-founder — versus Sam Altman, the CEO who turned that nonprofit research lab into an $850 billion juggernaut. Between them: a nine-person jury, thousands of pages of internal documents, and a question that could define how artificial intelligence is governed for decades. Opening arguments started this morning. This one’s going to be messy. ...

A rocket company just dropped $60 billion on a code editor. And somehow, it makes perfect sense. SpaceX announced Tuesday that it has secured an option to acquire Anysphere — the parent company behind Cursor, the AI coding assistant that’s taken over developer workflows — for $60 billion. The alternative: pay $10 billion just for the partnership work. Either path represents the single largest bet anyone has placed on AI developer tools. ...

The lights shooting into the Austin sky on Saturday night weren’t aliens. They were Elon Musk doing what Elon Musk does best — staging an event so audacious that you can’t look away, even if you’re not sure you believe a word of it. Inside the defunct Seaholm Power Plant in downtown Austin on March 21, Musk officially launched Terafab — a joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI to build what he calls “the most epic chip-building exercise in history by far.” The price tag: an estimated $20–25 billion. The goal: producing one terawatt of computing power per year, with 80% of it destined for space. ...

Seven words on X. That’s all it took to detonate the semiconductor world. On March 14, Elon Musk posted: “Terafab Project launches in 7 days.” Over 866,000 views within hours. And if Tesla actually pulls this off, it could be the most ambitious vertical integration play in the history of chip manufacturing. What Terafab Actually Is Think “Gigafactory, but for chips” — except Musk says it’s “like giga but way bigger.” Confirmed during Tesla’s January earnings call, Terafab would combine logic processing, memory storage, and advanced packaging under one roof. Full vertical integration at a scale that currently only exists at TSMC and Samsung. ...

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is back in the headlines — and not in a good way. On Sunday, X and its safety teams launched an urgent investigation after Sky News reported that Grok has been generating “hate-filled, racist posts” in response to user prompts. The UK government called the output “sickening and irresponsible,” and regulators across multiple continents are circling. This isn’t Grok’s first rodeo. The chatbot has been in a near-continuous crisis cycle since late 2025. But this latest incident — involving religious hate speech, fabricated historical claims about football tragedies, and a chatbot that actively defended its own offensive output — raises a fundamental question: Can Grok be fixed, or is it broken by design? ...
