Elon Musk plans to reintroduce Vine, but here is a twist! Know what the tech mogul said…
Elon Musk has revealed plans to relaunch the once-popular video-sharing app Vine in an artificial intelligence-powered format through his social media platform, X. The billionaire entrepreneur made the announcement via a post on X, but offered no further specifics about the nature or timeline of the project. Musk, who acquired Twitter in 2022 and later rebranded it as X, has previously floated the idea of reviving Vine. He has even conducted public polls on the platform, gauging interest in bringing back the iconic six-second video app. Vine, which launched in January 2013, quickly rose to prominence by allowing users to share ultra-short looping videos. It became a cultural phenomenon in the mid-2010s, particularly among video bloggers and content creators, before Twitter shut it down in 2016 due to stiff competition and monetisation challenges. The reintroduction of Vine in an AI-driven format could signal a new direction for short-form content on social media. With most AI video generation tools currently optimised for brief clips due to cost and processing limitations, the original six-second structure of Vine may prove ideal for AI-powered creativity and engagement. While concrete details remain scarce, Musk's announcement hints at a broader effort to integrate advanced technology into X's offerings and reimagine digital content for the AI age. Meanwhile, after years of speculation and a soft launch , Elon Musk's much-hyped Tesla Diner and Drive-In officially opened its doors to the public late Monday. Notably, the eager fans who began queueing as early as sunrise. Located at the site of a former Shakey's Pizza on Santa Monica Boulevard, the retro-futuristic diner attracted a sizeable crowd of Tesla enthusiasts from across California, many of whom waited patiently for hours in the heat with no clear communication about the opening time.

Cybertrucks, robots and grilled cheese: Elon Musk opens Tesla Diner to the public
After years of speculation and a soft launch over the weekend, Elon Musk's much-hyped Tesla Diner and Drive-In officially opened its doors to the public late Monday, reported NBC News. Notably, the eager fans who began queueing as early as sunrise. Located at the site of a former Shakey's Pizza on Santa Monica Boulevard, the retro-futuristic diner attracted a sizeable crowd of Tesla enthusiasts from across California, many of whom waited patiently for hours in the heat with no clear communication about the opening time, added the publication. Reportedly, the two-storey establishment combines a traditional American diner with Tesla-branded features, including charging stations, an Optimus humanoid robot serving popcorn, and a rooftop drive-in theatre playing vintage shows such as The Jetsons. Inside, customers were welcomed by servers on roller skates offering ice cream samples. The menu, reportedly designed by Los Angeles chef Eric Greenspan, features diner-style staples like grilled cheese, fried chicken and waffles, and tuna melts, alongside Tesla-themed items such as the "Tesla Burger" with "Electric Sauce". Prices range from $4 for sides to $15 for main dishes. Despite the lack of formal announcements regarding the opening time, fans remained in good spirits. Some shared donuts with fellow diners, others brought lawn chairs and struck up conversations about different Tesla models. Several arrived in Cybertrucks and other Tesla vehicles, hoping to utilise the new Supercharger stations, which remained inaccessible throughout the wait. One San Diego-based visitor, Tracy Kuss, said she arrived at 8 a.m. but was concerned about her battery running low after several hours of waiting, the report mentioned. 'I need to be the first to charge,' she joked. Another couple, YouTuber 'Everyday Chris' and his wife Janice, had been on-site since 5:30 a.m., hoping to see the robot and try out the space-themed bathrooms that had appeared in viral videos over the weekend. According to the report, the opening drew several prominent names from Tesla's social media circles, including influencers with large followings on X. A Cybertruck covered in Dogecoin-inspired graphics was also spotted near the entrance, drawing attention from passersby. While the event served as a showcase of brand loyalty among die-hard fans, Musk's continued visibility in politics and business has also stirred controversy. One local demonstrator carried a sign reading, 'Elon Musk save America from evil Trump and his puppets', referring to Musk's previous political alignment with the former US President, which has since soured. Musk's brief tenure in government through the Department of Government Efficiency drew backlash after budget cuts negatively affected Tesla's stock earlier this year. Musk has expressed plans to expand the diner concept. In a post on X, he said, 'If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well... Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.'

Elon Musk hints Tesla diners are coming to major cities worldwide but there's a catch
Elon Musk has once again stirred excitement with a new idea. This time, it's about expanding Tesla's unique retro-themed diner concept beyond Los Angeles. The first Tesla diner recently opened in Hollywood, and Musk now says more such outlets could show up in major cities across the world. However, this depends on how well the current one a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk shared a video of the LA diner and hinted that Tesla could roll out similar diners globally, especially at key Supercharger locations. He described the space as a mix of food, entertainment, and car charging, all in one stop. But he made it clear: global expansion will only happen if the LA diner proves to be diner, built at a former Shakey's Pizza site on Santa Monica Boulevard, is designed to take visitors back in time with an American diner look from the past while blending in Tesla's modern technology. It features a rooftop seating area, 45-foot drive-in movie screens, and 80 Superchargers. Customers in Tesla cars can order food directly from their in-car display while charging, creating a seamless experience between dining and travel. This isn't a sudden idea. Musk first shared his plan back in 2018, where he talked about setting up a 'drive-in' with roller-skating servers and rock music at a Supercharger location in LA. Years later, that idea has finally taken the diner, the setting is far from ordinary. Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, was spotted serving popcorn to guests, giving the whole place a futuristic vibe. A popular tech YouTuber who visited the diner described it as a dream spot for technology News claims that the menu has been crafted by chef Eric Greenspan and includes both classic diner food and Tesla-themed items. Visitors can expect burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken and waffles, and milkshakes — some served in Cybertruck-shaped boxes. The prices reportedly range between $4 and $15. Guests are welcomed by servers on roller skates offering ice cream samples, while drive-in screens play old shows like The Jetsons, adding a fun retro fans were seen lining up outside the location hours before it opened. In true Musk style, the gates opened at 4:20 PM, a time he has often used as a humorous everything looks promising, the big question now is whether Tesla will bring this experience to other countries. If the LA model does well, Tesla diners may one day become a familiar sight at EV charging spots across the world, maybe in India too. For now, the focus is on how the idea performs at home before it can travel globally.- Ends
