Elon Musk's Tesla tweet trial delves into investor damages

The mind-bending estimates laid out by two experts hired by attorneys representing Tesla shareholders underscored the challenges facing a nine-person jury as the three-week trial winds down this week. Without acknowledging any wrongdoing, Musk and Tesla reached a $40 million settlement with securities regulators after Musk's troublesome tweets in August 2018. In this class-action lawsuit on behalf of Tesla shareholders, the jurors must first determine whether two tweets that Musk abruptly posted on Aug. 7, 2018 steered Tesla investors in the wrong direction. The crux of the case hinges on an Aug. 7, 2018, tweet in which Musk declared "funding secured " to take Tesla private. After consulting with Tesla's major shareholders, Musk decided the electric automaker should remain publicly traded — a decision that has paid off for him and other investors.

SAN FRANCISCO — (AP) — Elon Musk's enigmatic personality and unconventional tactics are emerging as key exhibits in a trial revolving around one of his most polarizing pursuits — tweeting. “It is relatively easy for me to get investment support because my track record is extremely good,” Musk wryly observed.

Tesla will invest $3.6B in Nevada truck factory expansion

The company confirmed it plans to produce high volumes of semi-trucks and make enough cell batteries for 2 million light-duty vehicles annually in Nevada. He said the expansion would create 3,000 jobs in Nevada while promoting clean energy and strengthening U.S. security. Lombardo tweeted a photo late Tuesday of himself with Musk at Tesla’s “Gigafactory” in the industrial park east of Reno-Sparks, where it makes batteries for electric vehicles.

Edmunds: The pros and cons of software running your car

The takeaway was clear: More and more vehicles will be run top to bottom by software, not hardware. While cars of the past 20 years have gained touchscreens and have plenty of engine- and safety-related computing power, those software features are largely stuck in time once the car rolls off the assembly line. The future holds that nearly every vehicle feature will be controlled by software, which offer the potential to improve features over time. Their manufacturers seamlessly update their software on a regular basis to fix bugs and breaches and add functionality. They have high-speed Wi-Fi and cellular connections that automakers use to send out software updates via the cloud to its vehicles.
