Biography Flash Elon Musk Tesla Deliveries SpaceX IPO Buzz and His Bold AI Pivot

Elon Musk has been making waves again, darling, as Tesla's first-quarter EV deliveries hit 358,023 units, a modest six percent bump from last year but underwhelming investors who expected 370,000 according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives. Axios reports Musk remains laser-focused on an AI-powered future, repurposing Model S and X factory space for Optimus humanoid robots he calls world-changing, even as Tesla stock dipped five-point-four percent Thursday amid soaring U.S. gas prices over four bucks a gallon. This pivot underscores his long-term bet on autonomy over car sales, with China deliveries surging 35 percent early this year per Ives.

Its separate from a San Francisco bot liability verdict hes appealing, with SEC settlement talks ongoing.

Meanwhile, his X platform, per MEXC News, rolls out auto-locks on first-time crypto mentions to crush phishing scams, as product head Nikita Bier announced, targeting hijacked accounts peddling fake tokens.
