Musk Warns OpenClaw Could Run Your Life With Full Access

Elon Musk weighed in on the risk of AI agents like OpenClaw gaining sweeping control, posting a meme that equates full system access to handing a rifle to a monkey as part of his ongoing feud with OpenAI chief Sam Altman; the moment underscores OpenClaw’s viral status and the broader debate over AI safety and control, set against Altman’s push for next‑generation personal AI agents and Musk’s history of lawsuits and public sparring with OpenAI.

Q4 GDP Slows as Federal Spending Drops and AI Investment Reshapes the Picture

Fourth-quarter GDP grew slower than expected as a 16.6% drop in federal spending—part of it tied to a government shutdown and allegedly caused by Elon Musk’s DOGE-related cuts—dragged overall growth, while consumption was led by healthcare spending; housing and durable goods weakened, and non-residential investment was mixed with AI-related equipment up but other areas soft. Inflation remained stubborn at about 2.9% PCE, complicating Fed policy, and uncertainty remains over tariff policy after a court ruling and the future of the AI-driven investment boom.

Grok Update Delayed as Musk Demands Deep Baldur’s Gate 3 Mastery

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, reportedly had an update delayed by several days after Musk was unhappy with how it answered detailed Baldur’s Gate 3 questions. In response, Musk allegedly convened a “war room” to push Grok to become a BG3 expert and even prioritize learning League of Legends, illustrating ongoing efforts to expand Grok’s game knowledge as part of xAI’s broader AI tuning and safety concerns.

Altman Dismisses Musk's Orbital Data Center Dream as Not Feasible Today

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Elon Musk's plan to place orbital data centers in space 'ridiculous' for now, citing high launch costs and repair challenges; he said space-based data centers could become feasible someday, but not at scale this decade, even as rivals like Google push similar concepts and Earth-based data centers continue to expand amid local resistance.

Impartial Jurors Elusive as Musk Twitter Trial Nears

Jurors for Elon Musk’s federal Twitter/X stock-manipulation trial in San Francisco are proving hard to find, with many prospective jurors admitting bias against Musk. Judge Breyer urged jurors to set personal opinions aside; over a third were dismissed for lack of impartiality, and the trial will proceed with nine jurors and no alternates from March 2–16, centering on Musk’s tweets about bots and the alleged impact on Twitter’s stock and the $44 billion deal.

Musk Jury Pool Thinned by Widespread Antipathy Ahead of Twitter Stock Case Trial

A civil securities case over Twitter's 2022 deal heads to trial after Musk’s lawyers struggled to find impartial jurors, excusing 38 of 92 potential jurors and ultimately seating nine. Plaintiffs, former Twitter investors, allege Musk misled investors about bot/data details to influence the stock price; Judge Charles Breyer oversaw the voir dire and set a March 2 start, including a pretrial ban on mentioning Musk’s politics outside of 2022.

Space-Based AI Data Centers Face Tough Trade-Offs for Earth and Orbit

Space-Based AI Data Centers Face Tough Trade-Offs for Earth and Orbit

SpaceX and xAI reportedly plan a million-satellite constellation to run AI data centers in orbit. While proponents cite solar efficiency and lower terrestrial costs, experts warn it could trigger debris cascades (Kessler syndrome), overheating and radiation risks for space hardware, brightening the night sky and harming astronomy, and disruption to Earth observation and climate monitoring; even if feasible, AI training would still require Earth-based resources, and governance gaps could complicate implementation.

Britain's new far-right Restore Britain launches with hard-line immigration plan

A new far-right party, Restore Britain, debuted in Great Yarmouth led by Rupert Lowe and endorsed by Elon Musk, pledging sweeping anti-immigration policies including bans on asylum seekers, tightened visa routes for several countries, and a ban on non‑stun halal and kosher slaughter. Lowe says the party has 50,000+ members and plans to act as an umbrella for like‑minded groups, potentially splitting the anti‑immigration vote and signaling a hard line in UK politics.

X Suffers Global Outage as Users Report Widespread Access Issues

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, faced a global outage with about 43,000 user reports on Downdetector as of 8:34 a.m. ET; users saw error messages like 'Something went wrong' and were unable to load timelines or post. Service briefly recovered for about an hour, then a second wave of issues hit around 1 p.m. ET before clearing up again in under an hour. The outage adds to a pattern of recent disruptions for X, including a nearly three-hour outage in November 2025 and other past incidents.

Musk’s Mission Migrations: From Sustainable Energy to AI-Driven Abundance

Musk’s Mission Migrations: From Sustainable Energy to AI-Driven Abundance

The article argues Elon Musk has repeatedly rewritten the public missions of Tesla, SpaceX, and his AI ventures—from Tesla’s 2019 focus on accelerating sustainable energy to newer aims like “amazing abundance,” universal high income, and AI-driven futures—while also toying with Moon/Mars city plans and space-based AI data centers. It portrays these shifts as hype-driven pivots aimed at pleasing investors and boosting stock, rather than a single coherent philosophy, noting contradictions in his rhetoric about humanity, inclusivity, and AI. It highlights Grok’s biases, the xAI–SpaceX merger, and Musk’s shifting stance on Twitter/X, ultimately concluding that the underlying motives appear to be money and personal power rather than a stable, humane mission.
