When Elon Musk left the Tesla Engineering HQ in Palo Alto on Friday clutching his smartphone and a livestream, he would not have anticipated the controversy it might cause. For 45 minutes, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO drove around the city and demonstrated the capabilities of Tesla's newest Full Self-Driving (FSD) update, FSD v12, thereby breaking several laws of the land in the process. Here's everything that happened during the eventful Musk live stream.
NYU professor says locked out of his X account after row with Elon Musk
16.08.2023 - 17:33 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Mark Zuckerberg / Elon Musk / Meta Ceo / Out Of
Billionaire Elon Musk has been dominating the headlines this week due to his antics around the ‘big fight' with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that is just not refusing to get finalized and both men are blaming each other for the delay. However, the X (formerly Twitter) owner has reportedly found himself in another fight (the non-physical type), and this time it is with New York University's Professor Scott Galloway. The professor is also an author, public speaker, and the owner of an X account with a massive 560,000 followers. However, recently the professor has made some shocking allegations against Musk.
A report by Business Insider states that Galloway got into a row with the billionaire entrepreneur recently, but the details of the event are not known entirely. Later, the professor posted this message on his Threads account, “A mutual friend reached out and said Elon feels “unfairly attacked,” by me, and wants to meet. I declined. 2 days later I was locked out of X”.
This bizarre incident is an ongoing incident as the NYU professor later posted, “Still locked out, 17 days”. So, based on his words, it has been more than 2 weeks and he has not been able to access his account where he had accumulated a community of half a million users.
We have not been able to independently verify the allegations. However, as others pointed out, his posts on X would not return any results when looked up using the search tool.
We were able to locate Galloway's account on X and it turns out he has been a vocal critic of Musk on the platform. His most recent post about the entrepreneur was on July 28, where he tweeted, “Tesla intentionally gave drivers rosy driving range projections, leaving many stranded. BUT you should totally bank with X”.
He was referring to the recent Reuters investigation which alleged that Tesla created a secret team whose job was to suppress the negative comments and complaints about the EV vehicles' driving range. Highlighting that, he underlined his concerns around X turning into an everything app that is also going to offer financial services, as per Musk himself.

Elon Musk says news organizations are eligible for X's revenue-sharing program
Just days ago, reports highlighted that billionaire Elon Musk intended to remove headlines from link previews on X (formerly Twitter) to make the height of the preview box smaller. But that does not mean that he wants these users and organizations to stop using the platform. In fact, Musk has been openly asking journalists and news organizations to become a part of the platform and participate in news sharing to begin earning money from X's revenue-sharing program. But with no option to share headlines in links, it might be that the billionaire is setting things up for original, or direct, reporting on the social media site - scribes are being encouraged to post directly on X.

Elon Musk says ‘blocking’ on Twitter “is going to be deleted as a feature”
Elon Musk made a shocking comment on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday when he said that ‘block' as a feature will be deleted on the platform. That means users will not be able to block any other user on the platform, no matter if they spam or troll. The billionaire is known for his dislike of general social networking features, and he has repeatedly expressed his feelings about it. However, getting rid of the blocking feature might not be that easy, even for the owner of one of the largest social media platforms.
