Elon Musk’s relationship with former ally Donald Trump has soured significantly. Recently, Musk was notably excluded from a White House dinner intended for top tech CEOs, including Bill Gates, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg. This exclusion underscores a deepening divide between the two, attributed to Musk’s vocal criticism of Trump’s policies and his proposal for a third political party, the “America Party.” Trump has since remarked that Musk has “problems,” yet hinted at a potential reconciliation, stating, “I don’t think he has a choice” but to support the GOP over “radical left lunatics.”
Legal Battle Over AI Trade Secrets
In the realm of artificial intelligence, Musk’s company xAI has secured a temporary restraining order against former engineer Xuechen Li. The order prohibits Li from sharing proprietary technology with OpenAI, alleging that he misappropriated trade secrets related to xAI’s chatbot, Grok. This legal action highlights the intensifying competition in the AI sector and Musk’s commitment to protecting his company’s innovations.
Concerns Over Declining Birth Rates
Beyond business and politics, Musk has expressed concerns about demographic trends in Western countries. He warned that declining birth rates pose a significant threat to the future of Western civilization, stating, “There will be no West if this continues.” Musk’s comments have sparked discussions about the implications of population decline on economic and social structures.

Amidst these challenges, Tesla’s stock has shown resilience. Despite earlier volatility, the company’s shares have rebounded, reflecting investor confidence in Musk’s leadership and the company’s long-term prospects. This recovery suggests that while Musk faces political and legal hurdles, his business acumen continues to drive Tesla’s success.
