Former researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic are calling out xAI's approach to AI safety.The team behind Grok allegedly ignored internal warnings and sidelined staff who raised concerns.Grok has generated antisemitic and conspiratorial responses on X, prompting further scrutiny.Internal sources say Grok was trained using user data from X without consent.Safety evaluations were reportedly skipped or dismissed to speed up product rollout.Researchers pushing for safeguards were removed from key projects or left the company.An open letter signed by multiple AI researchers demands legal protections for whistleblowers.Current U.S. law lacks clear protection for employees disclosing AI-related risks.Musk's stance favors fewer restrictions, calling Grok “uncensored” compared to rivals.The controversy raises pressure for regulation and transparency in high-risk AI development.
In this episode, we break down Tesla's official launch of the Model Y in India, priced at $66,000—over five times the average Indian car price. We examine why Tesla's pricing strategy immediately raises concerns in one of the world's most price-sensitive markets, and what the company aims to achieve with limited imports before its planned factory goes live in 2027.We explore:– The details of India's new EV policy that paved the way for Tesla's entry– How Tesla's Model Y compares in price and appeal to local competitors like Tata and BYD– Why Tesla expects minimal sales in the short term and what the launch really signals– The challenges around charging infrastructure, financing, and brand recognition in India– Reactions from Indian automakers and the government's long-term manufacturing goal– What Tesla hopes to learn before scaling operations with a local plantThis launch marks the start of Tesla's most complex market test yet. We unpack the strategy, risks, and what success would look like for Tesla in India.
SpaceX says it plans to launch Starship to Mars in the next planetary window—late 2026. In this episode, we break down exactly what that means and what has to happen between now and then for it to work.We cover:The current status of Starship flight testing and Raptor 3 developmentWhy in-orbit refueling is a non-negotiable requirement for Mars missionsHow SpaceX plans to land on Mars using belly-flop entry and engine-assisted descentThe timeline of upcoming tests needed to prove Starship is readyHow Artemis missions could force a delay if Starship is needed for the MoonWhat Elon Musk means when he gives “50/50 odds” of making the 2026 Mars windowThe risks of pad damage, regulatory slowdown, or manufacturing bottlenecksWhat a Mars success—or failure—in 2026 would mean for the years aheadBy the end of this episode, you'll have a full understanding of how close SpaceX really is to interplanetary flight, and why the next 18 months are so important.

Will Elon Musk finally deliver on his long-promised robotaxi revolution? This question arises after Musk announced this week via social media that Tesla's autonomous taxi service will launch on June 22 in Austin, Texas. The robotaxi initiative has lingered in Musk's promises for six years, positioned as Tesla's most critical future product. Tesla's ambitions center around creating self-driving vehicles that can navigate urban environments without human assistance, ideally rejuvenating the company's dwindling financial outlook.
Elon Musk is quietly shifting his tone on Donald Trump after weeks of backlash triggered a rare internal warning from Tesla's board of directors. Public criticism surged following Musk's prominent role in Trump's second administration, and for the first time in years, Tesla's leadership told Musk directly that his political behavior was damaging the company. Multiple people familiar with the matter said the board told Musk he would need to walk back his statements about Trump—and fast—or risk losing his position.
Musk's original plan was to gain access, reduce regulation, and redirect subsidies toward his businesses. That bet unraveled quickly. The current public feud has not only erased billions in market value but also put Musk's future government relationships at risk. The person who once walked into Washington as a kingmaker now faces potential retaliation from the same system he tried to game.
Organizers used Musk's departure from DOGE to launch another protest push. On social media, they announced that June 28 — Musk's birthday — will mark another day of protests. They called the upcoming date a “recommitment” and encouraged people to rally harder. Knutson reiterated that the movement is against the consolidation of political and economic power in the hands of a few billionaires.Protesters also urged large investment funds to drop Tesla shares. Some cited a May letter from institutional investors to Tesla's board that criticized management decisions and corporate governance. These public and private efforts form a two-pronged strategy — external pressure and internal financial disruption — to reduce Musk's influence.
Donald Trump told Elon Musk to expect “very serious consequences” if he funds political candidates Trump opposes. This threat didn't come through a leak or backchannel message—it came directly from the president during a phone interview with NBC's Kristen Welker. That message followed a series of public jabs between the two men, revealing a larger question: What happens when the president of the United States threatens to retaliate against a private citizen for political donations?Trump's threat wasn't vague. In a Thursday post, he suggested cutting off federal contracts and subsidies to Musk's companies as a budget-saving measure. That post followed Musk's public criticism of the GOP's latest budget legislation and his call to vote out incumbents in 2026. The billionaire also floated the idea of launching a new political party “to represent the 80% in the middle.” Trump responded within days, warning that if Musk backs Democratic candidates in the midterms, he'll suffer unspecified consequences. The president didn't explain what those would be but insisted they'd be “very serious.”

Elon Musk instructed his 200 million X followers to “KILL the BILL” on Wednesday, intensifying his attacks on President Donald Trump's signature spending legislation in a nonstop stream of posts. He called the bill a “disgusting abomination,” claimed it would bankrupt the country, and accused Congress of failing the American people. The comments marked a new peak in Musk's opposition campaign, which has grown louder and more aggressive over the past 48 hours.Musk, who had dialed back his political posting in recent months, returned in force this week with more than 25 posts and reposts hammering the legislation. He framed the bill as dangerous and fiscally irresponsible, writing, “Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America! ENOUGH.” In another post, he urged followers to pressure lawmakers directly, saying, “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok!”House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to Musk's criticism on Wednesday morning, saying Musk was “flat wrong” about the bill's effect on the deficit. Johnson told reporters that he tried to call Musk Tuesday night to discuss the issue, but Musk didn't answer. In a video post featuring Johnson's comments, Musk fired back: “We need a new bill that doesn't grow the deficit.” Later, Musk posted another reply, saying, “No one who actually reads the bill should be able to stomach it.”
Elon Musk called President Trump's signature domestic policy legislation a “disgusting abomination” and accused Congress of “making America bankrupt.” That attack came just days after a farewell ceremony in the Oval Office, where Musk and Trump praised each other and celebrated Musk's exit from his advisory role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Why would the billionaire who helped shape Trump's cost-cutting agenda now turn so publicly and forcefully against it? The answer sits at the intersection of political fallout, budget math, and personal interest.
