At a normal company, years of sliding sales, multiple public controversies and endlessly volatile share prices would cost the CEO his or her job. But on Thursday evening, Tesla shareholders proved yet again that it’s not a normal company, handing CEO Elon Musk an unprecedentedly large $1 trillion pay package. The vote to greenlight Musk’s new compensation was approved with 75% of the vote, company officials announced at the annual shareholder meeting in Austin. The pay package is, according to Reuters, larger than the GDP of several countries, including Belgium and Argentina. “I’d like to just give a heartfelt thanks…
Chris Sacca’s venture firm Lowercarbon Capital is raising a second fund to back nuclear fusion energy hopefuls, the VC said at the SOSV Climate Tech Summit on Thursday, as reported by Bloomberg. The firm has backed leading fusion startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems, as well as others like Pacific Fusion. It raised a $250 million, fusion-geared fund in 2022. Fusion believers, who include a number of well-known climate VCs beyond Sacca (like Vinod Khosla), still hold faith that a breakthrough needed to make it commercially viable is just around the corner. And several advances are showing promise of delivering one. In the meantime, building fusion reactors is expensive. Commonwealth raised $863 million earlier this year,…

The Pokemon journey is one that fans look forward to whenever a new game is announced, even if recent titles have not always garnered widespread acclaim. While the games have strayed in recent years with new titles and mechanics, Pokemon games are ultimately comfort food that many people look forward to consuming every few years. That said, the main projects do not always succeed in impressing everyone who has been along for the ride since the late 1990s; consequently, some fans have come forward to create their own games. Although Nintendo has, on several occasions, unplugged and halted the production…
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Thursday the company will reveal the production version of its second-generation Roadster supercar on April 1, 2026 — nearly nine years after he first revealed the project. Musk, who is famous for missing deadlines, said during Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting that he chose April Fools’ Day in part because it affords “some deniability.” “Like, I could say I was just kidding” if it happens to be later, he said. Revealing the production version of the new Roadster next year is in itself a delay. Just one week ago he appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and…
Tesla CEO Elon Musk told investors during the automaker’s 2025 Annual Meeting on Thursday that production of the Cybercab will begin at the automaker’s Gigafactory Texas in April 2026. The Cybercab is a two-door coupe that was revealed at last year’s “We, Robot” event. It’ll have the same computers and sensors that power Tesla’s current “Full Self Driving” (FSD) software in passenger vehicles like the Model 3 and Model Y, but this time it will supposedly be fully autonomous. (Private vehicles with FSD today require driver supervision and are not autonomous). It won’t have pedals or a steering wheel, Musk…
Grand Theft Auto VI, one of the most anticipated video games of all time, has been delayed, again — this time until November 19, 2026. The game was initially slated for a fall 2025 release, but was pushed back to May 2026. On Thursday, Rockstar Games announced that the development team needs another six months. “We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve,” Rockstar Games wrote in a statement.…
Just like any other popular strategy franchise, Anno tries to evolve its core formula with each subsequent entry. From one Anno entry to the next, players can expect to find new gameplay mechanics, overhauled visuals, refined UI, and fresh ideas that breathe new life into the franchise. Anno 117: Pax Romana looks like it’ll include everything on that list. Set to release on November 13, Anno 117: Pax Romana is launching six years after its predecessor, Anno 1800. But while Anno 117: Pax Romana is certainly continuing this trend of evolving the series’ core formula, there’s one big tradition that…
Ford executives are considering killing the all-electric F-150 Lightning, the Wall Street Journal Reports. The Lightning was at one point projected to sell up to 150,000 units per year, but Ford actually sold just 33,000 last year. Ford wants to win the EV truck war in the long term, but there are a few reasons why sitting out the next couple of years could make sense. Ford announced the electric F-150 Lightning at an optimistic moment in the EV era. The company—and many others—expected hockey-stick like growth for all of their upcoming electric products. Ford at one point planned to…
