I went deep into reading her blogs and also the article that she wrote for Marie Claire. You know, her ability to be a storyteller is actually quite profound precisely because she's reaching for a deeper truth. I think when Elon is a storyteller, he's actually reaching for fiction. He's reaching to mythologize in a way that undoes the truth, that steers us away from that kind of hard work of getting to the stuff that is really deep and painful because it's true. I am curious about your take on this because it's a question that I have had about Elon Musk: Does he actually believe what he's saying or is he knowingly lying? I think it's closer to the former, and I've dealt with a number of characters who are like this. Sam Harris in the film makes a distinction between liars and bullshitters, and liars, of course, have to assiduously keep track of the truth in order to know when and how they're lying. Bullshitters just say what comes to their mind.

Elon Musk's Exes Are the Most Damning Part of a Massive New Documentary On Friday morning, Shivon Zilis, a top executive and lieutenant of Elon Musk at his brain chip implant company Neuralink --as well as mother of four of the 14 children he is known to have fathered--took to his social media platform, X, to announce an abrupt shift in their relationship. "It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," Zilis wrote, sharing a screenshot of the X account @BigTechAlert that showed Musk had unfollowed her there. Zilis' post continued: "I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness," followed by warm praise and best wishes for Musk. "I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents," Zilis concluded, leaving some ambiguity as to what exactly changed between them and whether she remains a director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, though it does not appear as if she has left the position. While this was a strange revelation of a private matter, it seemed hardly out of the ordinary for Musk's dizzyingly complicated family life.

As an activist, Nandini Jammi has become accustomed to getting harassed online, often by faceless social media accounts. But this time was different: a menacing tweet was sent her way from an account with a profile picture of a woman with blonde hair and a beaming smile. The woman went only by a first name, "Jessica," and her short Twitter biography read: "If you are a bully I will fight you." In her tweet sent to Jammi last July, she said: "why haven't you cleaned your info from Adult Friend Finder? It's only been three years."

Late last year, I picked up John Carreyrou's "Bad Blood," which chronicles the long con pulled by Elizabeth Holmes, an entrepreneur who dropped out of Stanford at nineteen to found Theranos, a company that she claimed would reinvent the biomedical industry. I was instantly engrossed--"Bad Blood" unfolds like a thriller, offering a breathless barrage of details exposing how Holmes deceived her investors and colleagues at nearly every turn. Holmes wanted to disrupt the blood test: she boasted that her company was developing a method for running hundreds of lab tests from a single drop of blood, employing a machine called "The Edison" that used nanotechnology and robotics to analyze the sample. In just a few short years, thanks to Carreyrou's investigations and leaks from whistle-blowers, Holmes went from Silicon Valley's golden girl--named the youngest self-made female billionaire by Forbes--to a disgraced fraudster whose company was under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "Bad Blood" does a formidable job charting the Theranos ordeal, but it doesn't get into Holmes's head.

Helping the elderly stay in their homes with an assistive robot, giving those with disabilities greater independence by increasing their mobility and improving safety for workers across industries with a single invention sounds ambitious, but that's just Genesis Robotics wants to do with its newly unveiled LiveDrive, a direct-drive robotic actuator. "I think we can even help people walk," Genesis Robotics and LiveDrive President Michael Gibney told International Business Times. "If we can get an exoskeleton, get people out of a wheel chair, we'll be able to really change people's lives." Genesis Robotics hopes to change the way robots are made with its LiveDrive actuator. LiveDrive aims to replace bulky motors, drive belts and gearboxes that limit existing robots in terms of load-bearing, precision, speed and flexibility of use.
