Elon Musk himself has acknowledged the current three-hundred-dollar monthly subscription fee is too high, which raises real questions about who this vehicle is actually built for right now.

And in the chip wars, Intel has reclaimed overall CPU market share from AMD for the first time since the second quarter of twenty twenty-five. Server CPU sales drove much of the gain, jumping twenty percent year over year, even as overall x86 shipments declined. It's a meaningful moment for Intel after a prolonged stretch of competitive pressure.
