Elon Musk BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

From my latest string of headline-making days, the world cannot seem to get enough of what I do or say. The business universe is laser-focused on the high stakes of my proposed 2025 Tesla pay package, a saga splitting Wall Street and Silicon Valley right down the middle. As Michael Dell spotlights, I will only get paid if I turbocharge Tesla’s worth beyond $8.5 trillion—an outlandish sum that would be the highest in corporate history. Glass Lewis and ISS are urging shareholders to vote no, but Cathie Wood of ARK Invest calls me the “most productive human being on earth” and insists my leadership is essential for Tesla, especially as we pivot toward robotics and AI. Even Tesla’s senior AI exec, Ashok Elluswamy, is stumping for me on X, arguing that my uncanny blend of skills makes me the only person capable of steering Tesla through this critical inflection point. The final act will play out at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting on November 6, which could define both my future with the company and the company’s future itself, with rumors and speculation swirling but nothing confirmed until votes are tallied.

Heating up the airwaves, I just did a high-profile run on The Joe Rogan Podcast, tossing out teases of technology that would make James Bond jealous. I said the next-gen Tesla Roadster will feature “crazy technology” and that we’re close to an unforgettable prototype unveiling. The subject of flying cars came up too—yes, I am actively developing a prototype, and if my demo lands as planned before year-end, it may be the most spectacular product reveal of all time. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s Sam Altman reignited our public feud with social posts about his long-delayed Roadster preorder and refund drama. I fired back that Altman did get his refund within a day, not missing a beat to jab him over OpenAI’s recent business shift.

On the digital innovation front, I announced X Chat, X’s new encrypted messaging app using a Bitcoin-inspired tech stack. Promising to beat WhatsApp and Telegram on security—no advertising hooks, end-to-end encryption—its beta rollout is set for the coming months. Add to that Grokipedia, my new AI-powered encyclopedia launched to take on Wikipedia under the xAI banner, meant to “purge out the propaganda” and already home to 800,000 robotic entries. Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales is unconvinced and public opinion is split, with critics worried about my control over information.

On social media, my posts continue to stir the pot, whether defending Trump’s character or razzing the legacy media. All told, my every move this week—software launches, heavy-handed podcast appearances, billion-dollar pay debates, and civilization-scale predictions—are setting the pace for tech, business, and political discourse. For now, every headline, every retweet, and every investor pulse seems to lead right back to me.
