Elon Musk BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Elon Musk has been everywhere this week. On September 27, Teslarati reports that Musk announced new milestones for Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus, revealing that the company is working aggressively to scale up production. Musk doubled down on previous claims, saying Optimus could represent 80 percent of Tesla’s long-term value, a prediction stretching the imagination but perhaps not for a man famous for redrawing technological boundaries. He’s targeting a million units annually by 2030 and insists the robot will soon be nimble enough to “thread a needle.” For Musk, this reinforces a strategic shift—Tesla is no longer just about cars. Analysts have noticed: Deutsche Bank and Wedbush both upped their price targets for Tesla stock. Recent corporate maneuvers, a new $1 trillion CEO pay package, and a clearer focus on robotaxis and Optimus have “removed a large overhang on the stock,” notes Deutsche Bank, making Wall Street bullish again.
But Musk’s headlines aren’t just business. In a highly publicized, perhaps healing, public appearance, he attended the memorial service for the late Charlie Kirk alongside former President Donald Trump, as seen in video coverage from Fox Business and others. This marks a reconciliation of sorts after their very public rift over Trump’s divisive “One Big Beautiful Bill”; Musk criticized the bill sharply on his platform X, calling it a “pork-filled Congressional abomination” with the national debt now at a record 37 trillion dollars. Trump and Musk’s relationship, after playing out in the Oval Office and the headlines, drew renewed scrutiny at the memorial.
Musk continues to court international influence. The UAE’s leading media chief personally visited Tesla HQ to invite Musk to speak at the BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi this December, according to the Times of India. They discussed everything from artificial intelligence to clean energy, foreshadowing a larger global role for Musk as a tech statesman.
Not all Musk news is positive. As first reported by Sky News, newly released Epstein files have named Elon Musk alongside other high-profile figures, though the facts remain sparse and no wrongdoing or direct involvement has been detailed in top-tier reports so far.
On the business front, his social platform X remains a work in progress. Social Media Today reports X’s ad revenue shrank by 2.2 percent in Q2 2025, performing well below Musk’s lofty revenue forecasts and reflecting ongoing struggles to win over advertisers despite a slight rebound after the last U.S. election.
So this week, Musk has once again played all the roles—industrialist, policy influencer, social media mogul, sometimes lightning rod. If the headlines look familiar, it’s because Musk keeps reshaping the future while making you wonder what headline will hit next.
