Jeff Bezos has The Washington Post, now Elon Musk will have Twitter. Billionaire vanity projects are good for the ego—but Musk is about to learn that managing a tech platform is about a lot more than shitposting through the culture wars.

It is a law of physics that astronomical highs will be followed by astronomical lows, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

Sudowrite and Dall-E use machine learning to produce astonishingly serviceable text and images in a flash. What does that mean for stodgy old human beings?

Supply-chain snarls, raw material shortages, and record-setting inflation are turning the simple act of buying a car into a war of all against all, and there’s no relief in sight. Could the electric-car market collapse under its own weight?

The social media company and the billionaire are locked in an escalating legal battle. They’re stuck with each other, and we’re stuck with them.

Apple’s core product line hasn’t changed much since the Obama administration. The new M1 and M2 chips, which power the recently unveiled MacBook Air, could breathe new life into the world’s most profitable company.

Couples rarely commit crimes together. But Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan and Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, whose social media antics disguised an alleged plot to abscond with billions in stolen crypto, are no ordinary couple.

Employees have long joked that “Twitter is the company that can’t kill itself.” This week, it seemed to be trying harder than ever. With Elon Musk turning on Jack Dorsey and a celebrated whistleblower due to testify before Congress, how long can CEO Parag Agrawal hold on?

Apple’s design may have stalled, but the latest iPhone still has the potential to disrupt through major photo and video upgrades (while the new Apple Watch could capitalize on gaps in the lucrative health care market). But are customers ready to drop upwards of $1,500 for the Pro upgrade?

Which means many people are asking themselves (and a lot of people have been asking me): Do I really need to upgrade to something that looks almost exactly like the thing I just got last year? My answer is, yes and no. First, it’s important to understand why the last four iPhones look like quadruplets. It’s largely due to the current design philosophy at Apple, which is less “let’s change it for the sake of changing it” and more “we think this is perfect and we ain’t changing…” You get the point…
