In the recent updates, tech tycoon Elon Musk continues to make headlines for a variety of reasons. Firstly, Musk has become the world's first person to amass a net worth of $500 billion, creating a historical mark in personal wealth. Ongoing controversy has erupted as Musk appealed to his followers to cancel Netflix subscriptions due to the streaming service's alleged woke bias and pro-trans character representation.
Further, he is facing considerable pushback from investors and state officials over his $1 trillion pay plan. Inside his own companies too, there seems to be disruptions. Musk has reportedly lost senior staff members from both Tesla and xAI, allegedly due to burnout, political friction, and his erratic behavior.
While combatting controversies, Musk's Tesla has pushed back the much-awaited Tesla Full Self-Driving v14 release to Monday as the AI team approaches fixing a last-minute bug. And yet, this didn't slow down the company's progress as SpaceX secured Pentagon contracts worth $714 million, beating competition from Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
Regardless of the controversies, Musk remains a powerful influencer with strong vision for tech advancements, as displayed by his plans for humanoid robots for Mars.
