Elon Musk Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Elon Musk has made headlines yet again with a series of moves that could reshape tech, social media, and his own ever-evolving legacy. First up, Tesla shareholders are anxiously awaiting next week’s third-quarter earnings call, pushing Musk for details on the company’s highly anticipated Optimus humanoid robots and the rollout of self-driving robotaxis. According to Morningstar, investors—with both wallet and curiosity at stake—are pressing Musk for timelines on scaling up robotaxi production and for more information about how quickly these ambitions might become core drivers of Tesla’s future value. Wall Street is parsing every Musk comment, especially after he previously predicted that autonomous ride-hailing could reach half of the US population by year’s end. For now, Tesla’s driverless taxi service is limited, with models running in Austin, San Francisco, and a few other cities, always with a safety driver on board and expansion plans dependent on regulatory hurdles.

The biggest money story, though, is Tesla’s proposed one trillion dollar pay package for Musk. Proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services has advised voting against it, calling the terms “astronomical” and warning it could dilute other shareholders and make Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Tesla, for its part, is lobbying hard to keep Musk at the helm, even launching an ad for the pay package on Paramount Plus. The final vote is set for the annual meeting on November 6, with the package tied to ambitious targets like subscribers to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software and the number of operational robotaxis. Recently, the Delaware Supreme Court weighed arguments over how much Musk should actually get paid, with the current package already worth over 100 billion dollars, according to WUNC. Reuters points out that some analysis suggests Musk could get billions even without reaching major milestones.

Switching gears to Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface startup just leased a major five-story property in South San Francisco and is preparing for its next phase: human trials to potentially restore limited sight to the completely blind by next year. The first Neuralink patient, Noland Arbaugh, has already stunned the world by browsing the web and even gaming, hands-free. The expansion signals Musk’s growing footprint in the Bay Area despite his headline-grabbing moves to Texas with Tesla and SpaceX.

On social media, Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, is undergoing perhaps its most sweeping transformation yet. Musk announced the recommendation system will abandon all static rules in the next month, shifting to a purely AI-driven model powered by the in-house AI assistant Grok. The new system will reportedly process over 100 million posts a day, aiming to solve “the new user or small account problem,” ensuring that great content from anyone can be seen. This week, X made waves by purging 1.7 million spam bot accounts—its biggest anti-spam operation since Musk’s takeover—and targeting DM spam next, according to the Times of India and Storyboard18. Head of Product Nikita Bier signaled upcoming features for rewarding original viral creators and further platform tweaks soon.

With over 225 million followers, Elon Musk remains the most-followed person on X, according to Exploding Topics, keeping himself—and his every utterance—squarely in the global spotlight.
