Published 12 hours ago
Description
Elon Musk has been making waves again, darling, as Tesla's first-quarter EV deliveries hit 358,023 units, a modest six percent bump from last year but underwhelming investors who expected 370,000 according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives. Axios reports Musk remains laser-focused on an AI-powered future, repurposing Model S and X factory space for Optimus humanoid robots he calls world-changing, even as Tesla stock dipped five-point-four percent Thursday amid soaring U.S. gas prices over four bucks a gallon. This pivot underscores his long-term bet on autonomy over car sales, with China deliveries surging 35 percent early this year per Ives.
Legal drama heats up too, as U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan greenlit a class action lawsuit from former Twitter investors, led by the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, alleging Musk defrauded them by delaying disclosure of his five percent stake in 2022, saving over 200 million dollars while they sold shares cheap, Reuters details. Its separate from a San Francisco bot liability verdict hes appealing, with SEC settlement talks ongoing.
On the business front, buzz swirls around SpaceX quietly filing for a blockbuster IPO possibly in June or July, Realitytea speculates, potentially catapulting Musk to trillionaire status in what could be historys biggest public offering. Meanwhile, his X platform, per MEXC News, rolls out auto-locks on first-time crypto mentions to crush phishing scams, as product head Nikita Bier announced, targeting hijacked accounts peddling fake tokens.
Social media? Musk unleashed 79 posts on X back on March 30th, a flurry keeping fans hooked. No fresh public sightings, but these moves cement his biography as the ultimate disruptor.
