Desmond Llewelyn, also known as Q, brags about how the car was equipped with special features such as machine guns, a GPS screen, smoke screen, and tire slashers.

Miley Cyrus Explains How She Used to Hide All of the Money She Spent on Drugs from Her Accountant
Miley Cyrus recalls the days of hiding her drug purchases from those around her The former Disney star visited The Ringer's Every Single Album podcast where she discussed her drug use during Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz era She has also openly discussed her sobriety journeyMiley Cyrus is opening up about her past drug use — and how she used to keep it a secret from those around her, specifically her accountant. The music artist, 32, got candid while taking a deep dive into where she was mentally for each of her albums like Bangerz and Endless Summer Vacation, for the Friday, June 6 episode of The Ringer's Every Single Album podcast. During their discussion of her 2015 album, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the former Disney star revealed where some of her money went without her accountant's knowledge. 'The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes,' Cyrus said. The 'Flowers' singer continued, 'And so she would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time.' Cyrus said over time her accountant would wonder about the "vintage clothes" costs but she always made sure to keep her purchases discreet. 'And every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs,' ' she said. 'We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate. The fabric got to take care of it. So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year,' Cyrus added. Continuing to reflect on Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the 'We Can't Stop' singer admitted she's grateful for how far she's come since that period in her life. 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life," Cyrus said. "I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it.' Cyrus has been open about her sobriety throughout the passing years. In a 2017 interview with Billboard, she said she was 'evolving' after giving up marijuana. 'I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever [gone without it],' she said at the time. 'I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now! That was just something that I wanted to do.' She later spoke to Rolling Stone for the magazine's January 2021 cover story after she "fell off" and started drinking during the pandemic.

But from sitting here with you right now, I would say it would have to be a cold day in hell for me to relapse on drugs."

Tesla's Optimus robot VP is leaving the company
The head of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot program, Milan Kovac, is leaving the company. Kovac said Friday in a post on X that he "had to make the most difficult decision" of his life to leave. "I've been far away from home for too long, and will need to spend more time with family abroad," he wrote. Kovac said that was "the only reason" and that his support for Musk and Tesla is "ironclad." Kovac's departure was first reported Friday by Bloomberg News. The departure comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk has claimed the company will have "thousands" of Optimus robots operating in its factories by the end of this year. "And we expect to scale Optimus up faster than any product, I think, in history, to get to millions of units per year as soon as possible," Musk said last month. Kovac worked at Tesla for nearly 10 years, with much of that time coming as a top engineer on the Autopilot team. He was tapped to help lead development of Optimus in 2022 and became a vice president overseeing the program in late 2024. "I'm driving the Optimus program (Tesla's humanoid robot) & all its engineering teams," Kovac previously wrote on his LinkedIn profile. "Separately, I'm also driving the engineering teams responsible for all the software foundations & infrastructure common between Optimus and Autopilot." Ashok Elluswamy, the vice president of Tesla's AI software division, will take over the Optimus project, according to Bloomberg. This story has been updated with information from Kovac's X post about his departure.
