After months, I finally started seeing Cybertrucks in real life. I have to hand it to Elon and Tesla: there is some impressive design and engineering here. Specifically, they have created a vehicle that is impossible to photograph, because none of the pictures of this thing convey just how butt-ugly it is in real life.

After sacking the charging team at Tesla, the "free speech absolutist" has found a new way to save some a few dollars: Cancelling Summer internships he's already promised to students.
Will #TikTok get banned? Will it get bought? Who will buy it? Will that acquisition even be allowed by the FTC? I would not put it past #Elon Musk to make an attempt here. TikTok is just the latest example of the perils of building an audience in a walled garden. This is why the #fediverse is the way forward.
The satellite-internet devices are helping Russian fighters in Ukraine and paramilitary forces in Sudan; SpaceX hasn’t shut them off.
Sudanese authorities have contacted #SpaceX and requested help in regulating the use of #Starlink, including by allowing the military to turn off service areas where it was helping the RSF. Starlink never responded to the request, Sudanese officials said.
