Elon Musk — latest news, business moves and tech updates
Elon Musk is one of the most talked-about tech founders on the planet. This tag brings together our latest reporting on his companies, public comments, regulatory fights, and projects that could affect Africa and the wider world. Expect fast updates when a major tweet, launch, deal, or court filing breaks.
We focus on the parts of Musk's activity that matter to readers: product launches and tests at SpaceX and Tesla, policy and safety news, changes at X (formerly Twitter), AI and Neuralink developments, big acquisitions and finance moves, and how governments respond. You'll also find coverage of local impacts, like Starlink rollouts, renewable energy projects, and jobs tied to Musk's businesses.
When a live event happens — a rocket launch, a major product reveal, or a sudden leadership change — we post clear, quick summaries first, then follow up with deeper explainers and reactions. Our short updates give you the essentials: what happened, why it matters, and what could come next. Our explainers dig into technical details, legal risks, and market effects in plain language.
We know headlines move fast and claims spread faster. That's why we verify key facts before we publish and label opinion pieces clearly. If a story is developing, we add timestamps and updates so you can track the timeline. We link to original documents, filings, and public statements whenever possible so you can check sources yourself.
