What does Elon Musk do with all his money? Tesla boss Elon Musk has been one of the world's richest people for several years now, and that wealth recently went stratospheric when he became the first half-trillionaire. Despite this, Musk has insisted he leads a largely unglamorous lifestyle. He said in 2021 that he lived in a Texas home valued at $50,000 (£38,000). His former partner Grimes, with whom he has two children, told Vanity Fair in 2022 he does not live the extravagant life of excess luxury many assume.

Why Tesla Will Never Produce The Roadster Tesla has been teasing the idea of a new Roadster for years, but it looks like the car won't actually be produced. In this article, we explore some of the reasons Tesla might never release a Roadster. Let's talk about what happened with the Tesla Roadster, the naked electric sports car was the car that launched Tesla as a brand and paved the way for Everything we know today and in 2017. Elon Musk revealed the next generation Roadster as it stormed the world with a Tesla semi-truck trailer Elon promised so much to that little car with the fastest production vehicle built from 0-60 in less than two seconds and a top speed of more than 250mph which is the longest range ever in an electric car at 620 Miles per charge and sticker price of just $200,000, which is pennies in the supercar world. The reason why you have a roadster suddenly come back to the top of our mind is that I remembered something Elon told Joe Rogan a couple years ago they were talking about the Roadster and how insane it would be Joe asked when are you going to make this thing and Elon said that he should probably do the semi and the Cyber truck first and then he'd get to the Roadster well the Tesla semi has begun first production and is going out to customers on December 1st.

After months of anticipation, Elon Musk finally took the wraps off Tesla's first AI humanoid robot, 'Optimus' last week. Optimus, which was first announced in August last year, received a frenzied reception at the firm's AI Day event in California on Friday. The bot was filmed emerging from behind a wall with two robotic hands in a heart shape, before taking a few tentative steps to wild applause. Musk said Tesla is planning to sell the bot for'probably less than $20,000' (£17,700) in three to five years' – meaning another long wait for Tesla fans to get their hands on the firm's most anticipated technology. Following its unveiling, MailOnline has taken a look at the Tesla products that have been announced but are still yet to be released - including Cybertruck, Robotaxi and the second-generation Roadster.

Roborace is the world's first competition for human AI teams, using both self-driving and manually-controlled cars. Race formats will feature new forms of immersive entertainment to engage the next generation of racing fans. Through sport, innovations in machine-driven technologies will be accelerated. A self-driving car has set a speed record of 175 mph. In November 2017, Musk said the next Tesla Roadster would have three motors and be able to travel a whopping 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds with a top speed of 250 mph or even more.

A few years ago I went to a 25th-anniversary celebration of Mazda's all-conquering MX-5. It's the dinky sports car that blends big driving thrills with everyday usability and it has doggedly stuck to one simple credo: "Keep it basic." There is nothing fussy or fancy about it. It's functional and, in these days of fake news, autonomous driving and hands-off digital feedback, there is something gloriously authentic about its analogue approach to the road. And it's exactly this pared-back, up-front honesty that's helped Mazda shift more than 1m of them over the past quarter-century.

Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk launched another Twitter tirade on Wednesday, this time aimed at the media's coverage of his electric car company, Tesla. Musk took'big media companies' to task in a series of tweets, saying the public doesn't respect them anymore because of their'holier-than-thou hypocrisy' and because they'claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie'. After a reporter from the Verge retorted by calling him a'media-bating Trump figure,' Musk sharply replied by saying President Donald Trump was elected because no one believes the media anymore. Rumors are circling that SpaceX boss Elon Musk is planning to launch his own'intergalactic media empire.' The Daily Beast reported that he's poached writers and editors from the Onion for a secret satirical news project.

The driver of a Tesla Model S crashed into a fire truck while driving down a California highway. SAN FRANCISCO -- If you want proof that people will push the limits of a technology, even if at risk to their lives, look no farther than last week's crash of a Tesla Model S in Utah. According to a report issued Wednesday by police in South Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake City, the 28-year-old woman at the wheel of the $100,000 electric sedan engaged Autopilot -- Tesla's driver-assist software that requires driver oversight -- and then didn't touch the steering wheel for 80 seconds. Until she hit a stopped fire struck at 60 mph. That she walked away with only a broken foot likely warrants a separate story on how the Model S can handle a crash.

After a tumultuous year in stormy seas, Tesla is making progress toward a safe harbor. In a report to investors today, the automaker revealed that it built more than 2,000 Model 3 sedans for three consecutive weeks in April, an encouraging number for a company that has lagged badly on its production targets for this all-important vehicle. Trouble is an old friend to Elon Musk's young automaker, which over a 15-year existence has confronted one near-disaster (flirtations with bankruptcy, high-profile crashes, lawsuits, federal investigations, grievous delays) after another. The fans cheer, the stock goes up, the short-sellers are foiled again. This report foreshadows another victory lap: "If we execute according to our plans, we will at least achieve positive net income excluding non-cash stock based compensation in Q3 and Q4," it states.

The Tesla Roadster that billionaire Elon Musk dramatically launched into space earlier this month could contaminate Mars with bacteria. Microbes collected by the electric sports car and its plastic mannequin driver on Earth could survive on the vehicle for millions of years. If the car collides with Mars, bacteria from Earth could wipe out any alien microorganisms that may live on the red planet, researchers claim.

Stunning footage has captured the cosmic journey of Elon Musk's red Tesla Roadster, which blasted off into space aboard the Falcon Heavy rocket earlier this month. The incredible spectacle saw a dummy called Starman strapped behind the wheel of the car leave the planet on the back of the world's most powerful rocket. They are both now on their way to Mars orbit and then the asteroid belt. Millions of people worldwide have been following the fate of the craft, including one professional photographer who trained his camera on the nightsky to capture footage of it from 500,000 miles away. Stunning footage has captured the cosmic journey of Elon Musk's red Tesla Roadster, which blasted off into space aboard the Falcon Heavy rocket earlier this month. Rogelio Bernal Andreo is a Spanish-American astrophotographer best known for his images of deep sky objects. He used Nasa's online ephemeris calculator to work out where Starman was in the night sky. Capturing the breathtaking images from his home in San Francisco was no easy task, however. When he initially attempted to spot the Tesla, at around 2am PDT (10am GMT) on February 9, when it was around 500,000 miles from Earth, he failed.
