Wait…Elon Musk wants to nuke Mars?
Elon Musk surely knows how to set off a twitterstorm. On August 16, he sent a tweet: “Nuke Mars!” Does this mean the founder and CEO of Tesla literally wants to nuke the Red Planet? We hope not! Planet Earth is still experiencing the repercussions of setting off two nuclear bombs. It would be insane to dream of colonizing another planet only to nuke it before half of the Earth’s population hasn’t even left the surface yet. Nuke Mars! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 16, 2019 What’s intriguing is that Elon Musk has conveniently...

Tesla’s new in-car racing game uses the car’s steering wheel and brakes
Tesla has announced plans to introduce a new in-car video game that is unlike any of those we have seen on Tesla infotainment systems. While it’s completely ingenious to play old Atari games in your Tesla car using a controller, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday at E3 video game expo disclosed that the company is going to include the 2018 racing game “Beach Buggy Racing 2” to your game collections.
