Elon Musk fired back at an X user who said the government 'throws money at him,' saying it's a 'clown's analysis'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk admitted he has sometimes made mistakes in his approach to hiring. Alex Brandon/AP Elon Musk defended Tesla and SpaceX after an X user said the US government "throws money" at them. He called it a "clown's analysis." Musk said that NASA would only account for about 5% of SpaceX's revenue this year. Elon Musk fired back after an X user said the US government "throws money at him" and his companies while receiving little in return. The funny part about that clown’s analysis is that even if every bit of bullshit he says is true, it still amounts to less than 1% of the value of Tesla and SpaceX 🤣🤣 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 9, 2026 The X user shared a chart from a Washington Post investigation last year, which found that Musk's companies have received upward of $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits since 2003. Musk did not respond to the investigation at the time. "...

Image
OpenAI founder Andrej Karpathy commemorated the first anniversary of coining vibe-coding by unveiling a new term. San Francisco Chronicle/Hearst Newspapers via Getty Images/Contributor/Getty Images Vibe-coding has reached a new level, Andrej Karpathy says. Prompting AI to write code has revolutionized the tech industry. Now, the OpenAI founder says "agentic engineering" is the next big thing. "Vibe-coding" just celebrated its first birthday. That's a lifetime in the AI boom. Now, the man who coined the term is celebrating the birth of a new one: "agentic engineering."

Residents of Sardinia, Italy get plenty of longevity-boosting exercise from walking the region's hilly terrain. imantsu/Getty Images Some of the longest-living people on earth get their exercise with daily walks, not the gym. A longevity researcher reconsidered his routine after visiting centenarians in Italy's Blue Zone. He learned that a more relaxed approach may prevent injury and lead to a longer, healthier life. Steven Austad is a gym fanatic. As the director of an anti-aging research nonprofit, he's deeply aware that exercise might be the closest thing we have to a longevity cure-all. That's why he puts in about an hour a day on his bike or in the weight room as part of his longevity routine . "I don't take any supplements. I don't even take a multivitamin, but I do spend a lot of time in the gym," he told Business Insider But on a recent research trip, Austad met with centenarians who stayed spry with a completely different style of...
