Elon Musk "always wanted" Coco Pops as a child, but his family couldn't afford them. The 53-year-old businessman is the richest man in the world now with a reported net worth of $218 billion thanks to his tech companies Tesla and SpaceX but his mother Maye, 76, has recalled that he would often yearn for the chocolate cereal while she managed the tight budget as she brought the family up in South Africa. Maye told Fox News Digital: "When I got divorced [in 1979], I couldn’t afford to buy meat, fish or chicken. So I had to feed my children bean stew. And as they say, they did get tired of my bea...

Elon Musk has unveiled Grok 2. Following his AI startup, xAI, launching the generative Grok AI 1.5 chatbot successfully a few months ago, the billionaire businessman confirmed the next Grok will arrive in August, and he's even confident that they can launch the third iteration before the end of the year. However, he highlighted the effort it takes to "purge" large language model datasets to train the assistant. He said: “Sadly quite true. It takes a lot of work to purge LLMs from the Internet training data. Grok 2, which comes out in August, will be a giant improvement in this regard." Grok 2 ...

Tesla insists Elon Musk won his legal battle over his $56 billion pay package as shareholders voted to approve the massive wage. The company made the claim even though a judge rescinded the 53-year-old billionaire’s payday earlier this year, according to a court filing made public on Friday. (28.06.24) It comes two weeks after Tesla shareholders ratified the 2018 stock options package. The vote followed a January ruling by a Delaware judge voiding the compensation, citing that Musk improperly controlled the negotiation process and that Tesla misled shareholders about key details. Ongoing uncer...

The first human to have a Neuralink brain-computer interface fitted by Elon Musk's firm has spilled that it is "broken" and can be "hacked". Noland Arbaugh, a 31-year-old quadriplegic, managed to control a cursor on a computer screen using his thoughts as well as play games and communicate with friends thanks to the Neuralink device being fitted – but the programme ran into problems when his brain rejected many of the tendrils from the implant. Noland lost movement below his neck after a 2016 swimming accident and had the Neuralink chip fitted in January. He started off breaking world records ...

Elon Musk never kept his latest child “secret” from his loved ones. The X owner and Tesla founder billionaire, 52, who has 11 other children, had his 12th earlier this year with executive Shivon Zilis, 38, who works in his Neuralink business. Even though the public is only finding out about the new arrival after reports spread the child had been born “in secret”, Elon has now said all his friends and family knew he was a father again so putting out a press release to the world would have seemed “bizarre”. He added to Page Six: “As for ‘secretly fathered,’ that is also false. All our friends an...
