Elon Musk Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Elon Musk kicked off a headline-heavy week with the confirmation that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving version 14.2 is finally ready for widespread use by the public, following public praise for its latest leap in safety and autonomy. Social media buzz erupted when former head of FSD engineering Andrej Karpathy openly stated that Tesla’s real-world AI is ahead of the curve. Elon himself weighed in—brief and characteristically laconic—but agreed, stoking optimism about FSD’s scalability and readiness. What really moved the needle, though, was Musk’s revelation that the Boring Company’s Vegas Loop cars—used daily by over 4000 passengers—will be going fully driverless within a month or two. That’s not just a product demo, it’s a real-world proving ground that could redefine urban mobility for good, provided all goes well according to several enthusiastic Tesla-watchers.

Meanwhile, drama around Musk’s Tesla compensation continues to fuel debate across financial media, with proxy firms ISS and Glass Lewis recommending shareholders reject the new $1 trillion pay package on grounds of dilution and excessive rewards, as reported by Fortune. Yet, an army of retail investors and influential backers like Cathie Wood argue the package aligns Musk’s future with Tesla’s success. Wood expressed confidence the package will pass, noting the strong retail voting bloc. Opposition leaders, including labor-aligned groups, counter that Musk’s pay does little to ensure his long-term engagement with Tesla, given his existing wealth and myriad projects. This standoff raises existential questions: will a negative vote nudge Musk out, or lead him to build AI products outside Tesla as he has threatened in the past? For his part, Musk made it clear on X (formerly Twitter) that his continued leadership hinges on a favorable outcome—arguably one of his most consequential public statements in years.

On the SpaceX front, Musk received the latest NVIDIA DGX Spark supercomputer from Jensen Huang during a filmed visit to Starbase, Texas. This AI workstation is touted as a game-changer for accelerating both SpaceX and Musk’s broader AI ambitions, captured in a video now trending in tech circles. It’s a symbolic handoff: two visionaries collaborating at the intersection of AI and rocketry, underscoring Musk’s outsized influence on both industries.

Politically, former Vice President Kamala Harris reignited a years-old controversy by publicly admitting it was a “big mistake” not to invite Musk to the pivotal 2021 White House electric vehicle summit. The omission—made obvious by Tesla’s dominance in the EV game—has since become a case study in the pitfalls of mixing politics with innovation, as detailed in Fortune.

On social media, Elon continues to oscillate between posting understated confirmations of new product milestones and direct warnings about his future with Tesla. None of this has calmed the constant speculation, but it has cemented Musk’s status as a must-watch disruptor—loved, loathed, and never ignored.
