Elon Musk's life and business shenanigans make for highly readable books. Apart from becoming staggeringly rich — and at one point the world's richest man — he is eccentric, utterly arrogant, super confident in his own abilities, extremely inconsistent and, finally, given to impulsive decisions. He has built a legion of followers who swear by him and are willing to go to war against his perceived enemies after a single post by him on X (earlier Twitter). His personal life and beliefs are even more colourful.

Meta's Threads to test direct messaging feature in select markets
HighlightsMeta Platforms will begin rolling out direct messaging on its Threads application to select markets, including Hong Kong and Thailand, in an effort to attract more users. Threads, launched in 2023 as a competitor to Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), has quickly gained popularity, boasting over 350 million monthly active users. Research firm Emarketer predicts that Threads' U.S. monthly active users will increase by 17.5% to 60.5 million by next year, surpassing the anticipated decline in users for X. By Jaspreet Singh Meta Platforms said it would start rolling out direct messaging on its Threads app, adding a feature long offered by rivals, in a bid to attract more users. Users in select markets, including Hong Kong and Thailand, will get a dedicated inbox for direct messages on the app as part of the test, eliminating the need to switch to Instagram's messaging platform, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Tuesday. Meta said messages on Threads will not be encrypted for now. Threads and Instagram have long been intertwined as part of Meta's plans to leverage the image and video sharing platform's massive user base to better compete with services such as X, TikTok and Reddit for digital ad dollars. Launched in 2023 as a competitor to Elon Musk's X, then known as Twitter, following his chaotic takeover of the platform, Threads quickly attracted consumers and now boasts over 350 million monthly active users . Meta announced the expansion of advertising on Threads to all eligible advertisers globally in April. However, the company has said it did not expect Threads to be a "meaningful driver" of revenue growth in 2025. Research firm Emarketer expects Threads' U.S. monthly active users will grow 17.5% to 60.5 million by next year, surpassing X, whose user base is expected to decline 14.4% to 50 million. U.S. trade restrictions and the rise of AI-powered ad targeting have pushed social media platforms to enhance their offerings, adding distinctive features and sharper user experiences to stand out in a saturated market.

Tesla's public robotaxi rides set for tentative June 22 start, CEO Musk says
Tesla tentatively plans to begin offering rides on its self-driving robotaxis to the public on June 22, CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday, as investors and fans of the electric vehicle maker eagerly await rollout of the long-promised service. Musk has staked Tesla's future on self-driving vehicles , pivoting away from plans to build a cheaper EV platform, and much of the company's valuation hangs on that vision. But commercializing autonomous vehicles (AV) has been challenging with safety concerns, tight regulations and soaring investments, and many have been skeptical of Musk's plans. "We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift," Musk said in a post on X in response to a question from a user about public robotaxi rides that the EV maker plans to first offer in Austin, Texas. Musk also said starting June 28, Tesla vehicles will drive themselves to a customer's house from the end of the factory line. A successful robotaxi launch is crucial for Tesla as sales of its EVs have softened due to rising competition and a backlash against Musk's embrace of far-right political views in Europe, and his recent work for U.S. President Donald Trump before their public falling out. Musk has promised a paid robotaxi service in Austin starting with about 10-20 of its Model Y SUVs that will operate in a limited area and under remote human supervision. The company then plans to expand operations to other U.S. states later in the year, including California which has stringent AV regulations. "Austin >> LA for robotaxi launch lol," Musk said on X, in an apparent reference to the southern Californian city of Los Angeles. Tesla has been testing its self-driving vehicles on public streets in Austin, Musk said last month. Earlier on Tuesday, Musk re-posted a video on X that showed a Model Y making a turn at an Austin intersection with no human driver and the word "Robotaxi" written on it, and followed closely by another Model Y. The vehicles were using a new version of Tesla's advanced driver assistance software, called Full Self-Driving (FSD) , Musk said in a separate X post. Little else is known about Tesla's robotaxi service, including where it will operate, the extent of remote supervision and how the public can use the service.

Elon Musk says Tesla's robotaxi service to 'tentatively' launch in Austin on June 22
Elon Musk says Tesla is 'tentatively' set to begin providing robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22 In a post on his X social media platform, Musk said the date could change because Tesla is 'being super paranoid about safety.' Investors, Wall Street analysts and Tesla enthusiasts have been anticipating the rollout of the driverless cabs since Musk said earlier this year that the service would launch in Austin sometime in June. Last month, Musk told CNBC that the taxis will be remotely monitored at first and 'geofenced' to certain areas of the city deemed the safest to navigate. He said he expected to initially run 10 or so taxis, increase that number rapidly and start offering the service in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco and other cities. Musk has been promising fully autonomous, self-driving vehicles 'next year' for a decade, but the pressure is on now as Tesla actually begins to operate a self-driving taxi service. Sales of Tesla's electric vehicles have sagged due to increased competition, the retooling of its most popular car, the Model Y, and the fallout from Musk's turn to politics. The Austin rollout also comes after Musk had a public blowup with President Donald Trump over the administration's tax bill. Some analysts have expressed concern that Trump could retaliate by encouraging federal safety regulators to to step in at any sign of trouble for the robotaxis.
