Elon Musk “does not use a computer.”

Elon Musk’s lawyers claimed that he “does not use a computer” in a Sunday court filing related to his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer.

Musk, February 2024: “Just bought a new PC laptop”

Musk, December 2024: “This is a pic of my laptop”

Musk, May 2025: “Still using my ancient PC laptop”

X sues to block a New York law that would make it share how it monitors hate speech.

The Elon Musk-run platform alleges the Stop Hiding Hate Act “impermissibly interferes with the First Amendment-protected editorial judgments” of companies like X to decide how to moderate content. Platforms could face fines unless they disclose what X calls “highly sensitive and controversial speech,” which it says the state may not like. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals already blocked parts of a similar California law on First Amendment grounds, following a separate X challenge.

Trump-Musk update.

An update on how the extremely public political breakup is going today, as protestors face off with federal immigration agents in Los Angeles.

  • Elon Musk deleted his tweet claiming Donald Trump prevented the release of Jeffrey Epstein files because he’s in them.
  • Trump told NBC News the Epstein links were “old news,” that he had no desire to repair their relationship, and when asked if it’s over, said, “I would assume so, yeah.”
  • The Washington Post cites a source claiming Trump referred to Elon as “a big-time drug addict” on a phone call.
  • A YouGov poll of 3,812 US adults found 41 percent of respondents supported the federal government ending Musk’s subsidies and contracts.
  • NASA and Pentagon officials reportedly urged competitors to develop SpaceX alternatives after Musk’s “terrifying” threat to decommission the Dragon spacecraft.

Are we watching a public breakup?

Yesterday I wrote about Elon Musk’s fall from power. Today he is beefing with the president on X, instead of picking up his phone to make a call. Hm!

Wow, there sure is a lot of news about Elon Musk’s companies all of a sudden.

Were you feeling left out by the terrible economics of Musk’s Twitter buyout? Great news! xAI, which now owns Twit — I mean, X — is selling shares. Also, Neuralink, newly freed from those pesky FDA staffers overseeing its applications, raised more money. has raised $650 million. Plus, there will be a public demo in two weeks! You know, if I were a cynical person, I might think Musk was trying to publicly distance himself from his time at DOGE.
