Elon Musk admitted he became excessively enthusiastic about political ties with Donald Trump despite earlier praise. Tesla’s shares fell 14 percent on July 23, removing about £18 billion from his net worth. He also played down AI safety concerns, saying he would simply “see what happens”. Musk told Fox News his AI system will generate an AI-powered epic film adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey. The remarks follow a volatile patch for Tesla’s valuation and growing scrutiny of his public statements.
