In the heart of California’s Yolo County, the progressive college town of Davis is making headlines for a audacious proposal: severing all ties with companies controlled by Elon Musk. On February 17, 2026, the Davis City Council convened to debate a resolution that would ban new contracts, purchases, and even the use of Tesla Robotaxis by the city, while urging the massive California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to dump its Tesla stock. This isn’t just local politics—it’s a flashpoint in the growing divide between Musk’s libertarian-leaning empire and left-leaning institutions wary of his influence.

In a bombshell video dropped just days ago, renowned automotive YouTuber Doug DeMuro crowned the 2012 Tesla Model S as the undisputed #1 most important car of the last 30 years. “Unquestionably in my mind… it’s not even a question,” DeMuro declared, emphasizing how this electric sedan didn’t just arrive—it reshaped the entire auto industry. As a car enthusiast who’s followed EVs since the early days, I couldn’t agree more. In this deep dive, we’ll unpack DeMuro’s bold claim, compare the Model S to its predecessors, explore its seismic industry impact, and look at why it still matters in 2026.

In the high-stakes world of Elon Musk’s empire, where rockets pierce the heavens and AI dreams challenge the stars, the latest bombshell is a game-changer. SpaceX has officially merged with xAI, ballooning into a colossal $1.25 trillion behemoth, but not without inheriting a staggering $18 billion debt pile from Musk’s AI venture. Now, Wall Street’s finest—led by Morgan Stanley—are scrambling to refinance that debt mountain ahead of what could be the largest IPO in history. Is this Musk’s masterstroke for interplanetary AI dominance, or a risky debt-fueled house of cards? As a blogger who’s tracked Musk’s ventures from Tesla’s early days to Starship’s fiery tests, I see this as a brilliant, if audacious, consolidation play. Let’s dive deep into the details, implications, and what it means for investors like you.

As America gears up for its 250th anniversary in 2026, Forbes has dropped a bombshell list that captures the nation’s innovative spirit: the Forbes 250: America’s Greatest Innovators. At the pinnacle stands Elon Musk, the 54-year-old South African-born trailblazer who has reshaped industries from electric vehicles to space travel. This isn’t just a pat on the back for Tesla’s CEO—it’s a testament to his unparalleled ability to build multibillion-dollar empires across diverse sectors. But why Musk? And what does this list say about the future of innovation? In this deep dive, we’ll unpack the rankings, methodology, standout stories, and lessons for entrepreneurs everywhere.

In a stunning reversal that’s got Wall Street buzzing, legendary CNBC host Jim Cramer has declared Tesla (TSLA) “actually a robotics company” – echoing what Elon Musk and Tesla’s die-hard fans have been shouting from the rooftops for years. This isn’t just hype; it’s backed by Tesla’s latest Q4 2025 earnings call, where the company laid out its bold shift away from traditional cars toward AI, autonomy, Cybercabs, and the Optimus humanoid robot. Despite beating earnings expectations, shares dipped over 3% post-earnings due to hefty capital expenditures and calls for more details on these moonshot projects. As of publishing, TSLA trades at $423.69, down less than 0.5% – a potential buying opportunity for those who see the robotics revolution unfolding.
