'Now it is war': Elon Musk and Twitter accuse an advertising alliance, which includes EA and Twitch, of conspiring against the platform and breaking US antitrust law

The government has defended the media regulator's response to the unrest in the UK, saying it has made clear social media companies should act over their role in the crisis.

 Elon Musk is being ridiculous. Companies are free to choose where to advertise

Maybe it’s just a perk of being the richest man in the world, but Elon Musk is making some of the world’s governments just a little uneasy. Their concern is summed up by Britain’s tech minister Peter Kyle, or to give him his full title, the secretary of science, innovation and technology, who told The Times that Musk is “one person who is accountable to no one.” Kyle said Musk can even have a “profound impact” on the war between Russia and the Ukraine. The billionaire upset the British government at the weekend saying immigration would lead to “civil war” after street riots broke out across the country with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesperson saying there was “no justification” for his comments. The problem seems to be that Musk actually doesn’t need any justification. As the CEO of Tesla and owner of X, formerly Twitter, he doesn’t answer to anybody. Kyle says his conversations with the U.S. social media giants are “much more akin to the negotiations with fellow secretaries of state in other countries, simply because of the scale and scope that they have.”Read it at The TimesRead more at The Daily Beast.

Today was supposed to be the day we got our first glimpse of Tesla’s much-hyped (but probably not fully operational) robotaxi. Instead, the event was pushed to October after Tesla CEO Elon Musk ordered some design changes to the prototype. Of course, as many theorized, the event was likely little more than a distraction from the company’s declining sales. And reports from the field of Tesla owners using Full Self-Driving don’t inspire much hope about the robotaxi’s near term viability.

The Tesla Robotaxi Day that wasn’t.
