This Week in Musk-verse: Innovations, Setbacks, and Expansions

Tesla: Dual Cybertrucks and Global Moves

In an exciting start to the week, Tesla’s Giga Berlin leaps into the limelight with Andre Thierig, the Director of Manufacturing, announcing the restoration of power post an environmentalist setback. With the switch flipped back to “Power ON,” production gears up for a full swing. As for the man himself, Elon Musk plans a hands-on inspection at Giga Berlin this Wednesday, post-power sabotage. Talk about being the literal ‘power’ figure!

Stateside, Tesla’s real estate footprint balloons as they snag over a million square feet in Kyle, Texas, hinting at major battery moves. Meanwhile, early Cybertruck adopters rejoice as Tesla rolls out a VIP delivery program for long-standing shareholders. In international waters, Tesla Malaysia has started rolling out Model Ys, and China sees a spike with 13,000 new Teslas insured last week. European Tesla enthusiasts? You’re getting Matrix headlights and a nifty “One-time charge limit” feature. Talk about lighting up the EV world, right?

SpaceX: Galactic Returns and Launch Antics

The SpaceX family welcomed back Crew-7 from their cosmic voyage, proving once again that what goes up, must come down – safely, near Pensacola, Florida. In the realm of ‘upcoming’ though, all eyes are on Starship’s anticipated launch, aiming for Indian Ocean horizons. Meanwhile, Kennedy Space Center sees some intriguing activity – is it disassembly or a size adjustment? Only time (and maybe Musk’s tweets) will tell.

The Boring Company: From Tours to Safety Revisions

Here’s something not boring: UNLV students got a sneak peek into The Boring Company’s Vegas LOOP HQ. Talk about an underground movement! Plus, after some safety hiccups, they’re planning a ‘more involved’ future in Vegas constructions. Let’s hope it’s as exciting as a Las Vegas show but with fewer incidents.

Neuralink: Brainy Discussions Ahead

Starlink: New Plans Unveiled

Starlink shifts the satellite internet game in Italy and Spain with a €29/month Deprioritized plan, reshaping internet access affordability. Standard plan users, you’re still the priority during peak hours, so no worries about your binge-watching sessions.

X and Legal Drama: Tech’s Soap Opera

In the social corner, X aims to revamp how articles look in apps – because readability probably matters as much as tweetability. Meanwhile, Musk calls out OpenAI in a legal back-and-forth that feels more like a tech rendition of a courtroom drama. “OpenAI is a lie,” says Musk, adding a pinch of soap opera to the tech world.

From cyber trucks rolling out to legal battles heating up, Elon Musk’s ventures continue to paint the future in bold, unpredictable strokes. But hey, what’s a week in tech without a little drama, innovation, and space travel? Stay tuned for more, because with Musk, the news is as electric as a Tesla’s acceleration.
