Waymo Hits NYC Streets - Beating Tesla

9/10/2025
Waymo is sending its self-driving cars into the heart of New York City, not to launch a robotaxi service yet, but to start mapping the chaos. In this episode, we break down why Alphabet’s AV division is quietly testing in Manhattan, what this move says about its long-term strategy, and how NYC’s strict rules could shape the future of autonomous vehicles. We dig into the permit details, regulatory hurdles, and why this data grab matters even without driverless rides on the table.

Tesla’s Optimus Meets Grok: The Robot That Builds

9/5/2025
Tesla just revealed a new Optimus prototype, and this one runs on Grok, xAI’s in-house language model. In this episode, we break down the quiet debut hidden inside a recruitment video, the robot’s improved design, and why task automation — not flashy stunts — is the real milestone here. We also look at how Grok changes the way Optimus learns and adapts, what this means for Tesla’s factories, and how it fits into Elon Musk’s push to unify AI across robots, cars, and software.

Tesla’s Robotaxi App Is Here, but It Still Needs a Driver

9/4/2025
Tesla just launched its robotaxi app to the public, marking the first time anyone can request a ride in one of its self-driving cars. The service is live in a few U.S. cities and looks a lot like Uber, but every ride still has a safety driver behind the wheel. In this episode, we walk through what the app actually offers, how Tesla is setting it up as a test run for something bigger, and why full autonomy still isn’t on the table. We look at how Tesla’s vision-only approach compares to rivals like Waymo, what regulators are saying, and how this pilot could shape Tesla’s future beyond car sales.

Vivian Musk Chooses A Modest Life

9/3/2025
Elon Musk’s daughter says she doesn’t want the billionaire life. She lives with roommates in L.A., pays her own bills, and plans to go back to college. The internet has questions. Vivian Jenna Wilson, 21, is defining herself outside her father’s shadow. In a new profile, she says she has zero interest in being “superrich.” She shares an apartment with three roommates in Los Angeles because it is cheaper, and she is working out a return to college focused on languages. That choice clashes with what most people assume about the family of the world’s richest man, which is why it grabbed headlines today. We look at the reporting, the quotes, and the subtext. First, the facts. Vivian tells The Cut she manages her own finances, wants stability over status, and values independence. People summarized it simply: no desire to be super rich, roommates by choice, and plans for school. Livemint echoed the modest-life angle and her focus on education. We also touch on the strained family dynamics that have been public since her legal name and gender change in 2022. Then we zoom out. Fame without wealth. Growing up near extreme money. Why opting out resonates in 2025. We compare this to other children of celebrities choosing distance from legacy wealth and discuss how media incentives shape the narrative around Vivian. Finally, we look forward. What happens if she models, studies abroad again, or leans into languages and gaming culture. The story is less about Musk and more about a young adult choosing agency. That is why it matters. Do you think opting out of family money is empowering or unrealistic in 2025?

Tesla Murder? How a Hacker at Starbucks Uncovered the Crash Data Tesla Claimed It Didn’t Have

8/30/2025
In this episode, we unpack the stunning $243 million jury verdict against Tesla tied to a 2019 fatal crash in Key Largo. The case took a dramatic turn when a hacker—known online as @greentheonly—recovered key crash data inside a Miami Starbucks that Tesla claimed it couldn't find for years. That file became the centerpiece of a courtroom battle over Autopilot’s role in the death of Naibel Benavides Leon and the catastrophic injuries suffered by Dillon Angulo. We explore how Tesla’s own systems automatically uploaded and then unlinked the data after the crash, and why the company said it didn’t intentionally suppress the evidence. You’ll hear how internal testimony revealed that someone at Tesla may have deleted the file from its servers and how a persistent legal team and one technical expert uncovered it anyway. This episode also looks at the broader legal and financial fallout: pending lawsuits, investor backlash, and new questions about Tesla’s approach to data transparency and Autopilot safety. Plus, we break down what the annotated crash video revealed about the vehicle’s final moments—and why this case could shift how future Autopilot lawsuits are fought in court. Topics Covered: The 2019 crash and its aftermath Tesla’s handling of Autopilot crash data The hacker’s role in recovering the missing file Legal strategy and courtroom evidence Jury verdict and damages Federal investigations into Autopilot Investor lawsuits tied to Tesla’s autonomy claims The road ahead for Tesla’s legal challenges

Musk Open-Sources Grok 2.5, fighting OpenAI

8/25/2025
Elon Musk just dropped one of the boldest moves in AI this year. His company xAI has fully open-sourced Grok 2.5, a massive language model that rivals GPT-4 in benchmarks. Unlike OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, which keep their most advanced systems locked away, Musk released Grok under the Apache 2.0 license. That means anyone can download it, tweak it, and even use it for commercial projects with no strings attached. In this episode, we break down what Grok 2.5 actually is, from its 314 billion parameter mixture-of-experts design to the smaller 25 billion parameter version for lighter deployments. We look at why Musk made this move now, how it ties into his ongoing feud with OpenAI, and what it means for developers who want strong models without corporate restrictions. We’ll also unpack the strategic side: how open-sourcing Grok 2.5 helps xAI compete without Amazon- or Microsoft-level funding, how it leverages the X platform to grow faster, and why Musk thinks openness beats secrecy when it comes to AI. Whether you’re building apps, following AI politics, or just curious how Musk plans to fight Big Tech with code, this episode gives you the full story.

Elon Musk’s xAI Is Using AI to Rebuild Microsoft’s Software Stack

8/24/2025
Elon Musk's xAI is working on a secretive project called MacroHard, designed to recreate Microsoft's core software products using AI alone. The internal effort uses Grok and other xAI models to simulate tools like Excel, Word, Windows, and GitHub, without relying on human-written code or Microsoft’s APIs. This article breaks down Musk’s strategy, how AI agents are being trained to function as full-stack developers, and why this could challenge Microsoft's dominance in enterprise software.

Musk’s X Corp Agrees to Pay $500 Million in Severance

8/22/2025
A federal lawsuit against Elon Musk’s X Corp has ended with a settlement that requires the company to pay $500 million in severance to thousands of former Twitter employees. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accused X of violating federal labor laws by refusing to provide severance pay after Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October 2022. The company, now known simply as “X,” terminated over half of its workforce in the weeks after Musk completed his $44 billion purchase. How did a deal that was supposed to redefine social media turn into a legal battle over unpaid severance? The question surfaces from the scale and speed of Twitter’s layoffs and the way those exits were handled. When Musk took control of Twitter, he slashed roughly 6,000 jobs across the company. Many of those employees said they were promised specific severance packages under the previous ownership. The lawsuit, led by former Twitter employee Courtney McMillian, alleged that Musk and his team chose to ignore those agreements and instead offered significantly reduced exit terms.
