Every day we wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and get ready for work. Following are a handful of stories from around the tech world condensed to fit into one single cup of coffee. These are the things you need to know before you step foot out of your door (or in front of a webcam) and into the real world this morning.
So sit back, grab...
Despite COVID-19, Elon Musk's electric car manufacturer, Tesla, delivered nearly 500,000 cars throughout the pandemic. In fact, production outpaced deliveries by only 10,000 cars in 2020, a year that left most industries ravaged by stoppages.
Tesla told investors this week they delivered 180,570 cars in the final quarter, while...
Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a neurotechnology company developing brain-machine interfaces, showed off some of the mind-blowing technology it has been developing to the public for the first time.
In 1997, Deep Blue, an IBM program, became the first computer system to defeat a reigning world champion in a game of chess under standard tournament time controls. Then in 2017, DeepMind’s AI program AlphaGo beat the world’s best Go player, leaving him both “shocked” and “deeply impressed” after the match. Now, Artificial...
Kimbal Musk unapologetically wants to change the world. We all entertain these notions at times, but he is the rare individual who can actually accomplish such a lofty goal. His older brother receives more attention, but in the same way that Elon Musk is seeking to smash the existing paradigm of transportation, Kimbal wants to transform...
Elon Musk and SpaceX have successfully launched the Falcon Heavy rocket, the world’s most powerful rocket, only rivaled by the Saturn V rocket that brought astronauts to the moon nearly 50 years ago. Musk is also being famed for launching the world’s fourth electric car into space, a Tesla Roadster. Rather than using a dummy test...
At the 2017 International Astronautical Congress, Elon Musk boldly announced his goal to land two rockets on Mars by 2022, then the first crews by 2024. As space settlements are becoming more of a reality, the issue has begged many questions and concerns: “Who owns outer space?” “Who can settle the moon?”
To understand the...
By now, you may have heard that Elon Musk, through his Boring Company, is now in the flamethrower business. The Boring Company was originally formed to build underground tunnels in order to ease traffic congestion, so it isn’t exactly clear why they’ve set out to sell flamethrowers. But that is beside the point. Some have theorized...

Nine years ago, SpaceX successfully launched their first rocket. Since then, the company, led by the ambitious Elon Musk, has proven time and time again how determined they are to advance both extraterrestrial and terrestrial travel. Once again, Musk has presented the world with another announcement that, if it came from anybody else,...
Once again we see Tesla changing industries left and right as the company announced the successful completion of its first solar roof installation last week. Similar to the Model 3 deal, the first solar roof customers are Tesla employees. Selling to employees first allows the company to work out any kinks and issues found in the sales...
It’s safe to say that there is nothing boring about The Boring Company. Founded in 2016 by Elon Musk, the company is focused on transportation infrastructure, specifically underground tunnels. Most recently, the company has been working on their HyperLoop transportation system, an underground transportation system that can get a person...
The idea of true innovation may appear elusive. It can intimidate with its vagueness. It’s something that is difficult to define. It may seem impossible to come up with something that is truly “new.” All the good ideas may already be taken. People might be afraid to fail, to branch out, to take a risk. One may think it should...
