Listen Later

 

In this episode of Hashtag Trending, host Jim Love delves into the tumultuous landscape facing Elon Musk and his companies. Musk's public feud with President Trump has led to a massive 14.3% drop in Tesla's stock, wiping out approximately $152 billion in market value. The fallout extends to regulatory challenges and competition from traditional automakers and AI companies.

The episode also highlights the quiet yet impactful emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup that is outpacing Western competitors with cost-efficient tech. Additionally, the FAA plans to modernize air traffic control systems by eliminating outdated tech like floppy disks and Windows 95 computers. The TSA issues a travel warning against 'juice jacking', advising travelers to use USB data blockers to avoid cyber threats at public charging stations.
