X says French accusations of data tampering and fraud are politically motivated

Washington Post13 hours ago
Elon Musk's social media platform X on Monday denied accusations from French prosecutors of alleged data tampering and fraud, calling them politically motivated.
X was responding to an announcement earlier this month from the Paris prosecutor's office, which said it was opening an investigation into the two alleged offenses.
Both offenses involved an 'automated data processing system,' according to prosecutors, who provided scant details of the alleged wrongdoing.

Tesla's retro-futuristic diner officially opens as Elon Musk hints at more locations

In Brief The Tesla Diner & Drive-In, a long-awaited and hyped facility that combines retro nostalgia and futurism with the automaker's fast-charging network, officially opened at 4:20 p.m. Monday in Hollywood, California. The Tesla Diner & Drive-In is technically a place for Tesla drivers to charge their EVs and maybe get hamburger, hot dog, or other classic diner menu items (which Eater shared in full). The diner, which per reporting from Not a Tesla App is loaded with Tesla-branded merchandise, an Optimus robot, and two 45-foot LED movie screens, is clearly hoping to attract more than just Tesla owners. It's too early to tell if the diner, which boasts 80 v4 Superchargers stalls and a drive-in movie theater that syncs with speakers inside a driver's Tesla, will become an enduring fixture of Hollywood. The long lines of people who queued up Monday morning suggests the diner will attract crowds for awhile. Even before its doors officially opened, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mused about establishing more of the diners globally. 'If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes,' Musk posted on X.

Explore Tesla's first-ever diner in this walk-through video

Tesla has just thrown open the doors of its brand new diner in Hollywood, California, a place that Tesla chief Elon Musk promised will be 'an island of good food, good vibes and entertainment, all while Supercharging.' As the restaurant and Supercharger facility welcomed its very first guests on Monday night, Tesla shared a video tour of the plush new diner on X. You can watch it below. Tesla Diner & Supercharger in Hollywood, LA Open 24/7, starting now — Tesla (@Tesla) July 21, 2025 The walk-through takes you around the stylish dining area and up to the rooftop where visitors can relax with a drink and even watch a film on one of the two large movie screens down in the parking lot. Recommended Videos You'll also glimpse a Tesla bot — also known as Optimus — Tesla's humanoid robot. However, rather than working at the bar or serving drinks, it's been placed inside a display cabinet. Clearly it's not quite ready for showtime. Before the opening, Musk shared a drone shot of the new diner. In an accompanying comment, he said that if this first Tesla Diner proves popular, the company will open more of them 'in major cities around the world as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.'

Tesla's long-delayed retro diner and charging location is finally opening

Tesla's long-in-the-works 1950s-inspired diner and drive-in Supercharger station in Los Angeles is expected to officially open today – and the company may build more of them down the line. The Tesla Diner lets people grab comfort food like burgers and fries (served in boxes shaped like Cybertrucks) and milkshakes while charging their vehicles. The Diner has giant screens so people can watch things like movie clips while charging their cars, though watching from the screens in your Tesla is apparently an option, too. One of Tesla's Optimus robots was even spotted serving popcorn at a recent soft launch event. Basically, it feels like one giant ad for everything Tesla, and this could be just the first of many. If the diner 'turns out well,' Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the company will establish more of them in major cities and 'at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.' The company's brand has taken a huge hit as of late due to Musk's now-deteriorating relationship with President Trump and cratering sales. Musk first announced his intention to build 'an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA' all the way back in January 2018, and Tesla filed a permit for it soon after. Progress slowed considerably since then, and although Musk promised in 2023 that the diner would be open 'later this year,' the restaurant's chef wasn't revealed until earlier this year.
