Tesla Cybertruck: Elon Musk’s Alter Ego?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:34:55 GMT

Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, doesn’t do subtle. He makes spaceships that explode and underground vehicle transportation tunnels to nowhere. For the past 16 years, his company has also manufactured the only electric cars to successfully infiltrate the internal combustion engine automotive industry.After several marketing promises gone awry, Musk has also introduced the Cybertruck, the massive utilitarian pickup unveiled as a concept four years ago. It’s a futuristic contraption of extremes in design, construction and relevance. It’s the first stainless steel vehicle since the DeLorean featured in the 1985 movie “Back to the Future.”Tesla enthusiasts have praised the Cybertruck as revolutionary. Detractors claim it’s reminiscent of poorly made metal origami wedges. With public sightings infrequent and head-turning, a first-time observer could define the beast as a mass of jagged, brushed metal on behemoth wheels. It has the appearance of an unfi...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:34:55 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans will be starting Ryan Tannehill at quarterback with rookie Will Levis declared out for Sunday’s game against Seattle. The Seahawks (7-7) are on the NFC playoff bubble going into Sunday’s games, just a spot outside the seventh and final playoff spot. They’re getting some help with the Titans (5-9) already eliminated from contention, having put a pair of defensive starters on injured reserve in safety Amani Hooker and two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. Tennessee also scratched a trio of starters including starting right guard Daniel Brunskill (ankle), cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and safety K’Von Wallace. That leaves the Titans’ defense without four starters. The Seahawks are without safety Jamal Adams for a second straight week. Geno Smith is active and expected to start for Seattle after missing two games with a groin injury. Seattle also will be without starting cornerback Devon Witherspo...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:34:55 GMT

We lost Twitter and got X. We tried out Bluesky and Mastodon (well, some of us did). We fretted about AI bots and teen mental health. We cocooned in private chats and scrolled endlessly as we did in years past. For social media users, 2023 was a year of beginnings and endings, with some soul-searching in between. Here’s a look back some of the biggest stories in social media in 2023 — and what to watch for next year:GOODBYE TWITTERA little more than a year ago, Elon Musk walked into Twitter ’s San Francisco headquarters, fired its CEO and other top executives and began transforming the social media platform into what’s now known as X. Musk revealed the X logo in July. It quickly replaced Twitter’s name and its whimsical blue bird icon, online and on the company’s San Francisco headquarters. “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk posted on the site. Because of its public nature and because it attracted public fig...
