    Elon Musk will be interviewed by Bill Maher on Friday.

    Tune in to Real Time with Bill Maher at 10PM ET / 7PM PT to hear the interview. Musk has been making the rounds recently, speaking with BBC and Fox News’ (now-fired) Tucker Carlson earlier this month.

    The New York Times released a new “buddy” to help you out with its delightful Spelling Bee word game. These sorts of helpers are seemingly becoming a thing for NYT games — the company introduced Wordlebot last year.
