Tesla Inc. is seeking approval to offer ride-hailing services in California, a key step by Elon Musk’s company to begin carrying paying customers while its traditional car-selling business falters.

A group of government workers filed a lawsuit in federal court in California today, arguing that Elon Musk’s demands for federal employees to provide a bulleted list of everything they accomplished last week violates federal law.

Tesla workers at the automaker’s massive factory in Fremont, California, are all too familiar with CEO Elon Musk’s efficiency approach that he’s now using to slash government programs as one of the most powerful members of President Donald Trump’s administration.

California’s planned high-speed bullet train is the latest target of President Donald Trump’s cuts to government programs, led by billionaire adviser Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency.

From Ohio to California, protesters are converging outside Tesla dealerships upset over what they call CEO Elon Musk’s attempt at a corporate coup of the federal government. Read online:

California has agreed to drop portions of a law that requires large social media companies to disclose their policies for handling hate speech, disinformation, harassment and extremism following a legal challenge from Elon Musk’s X.

X has previously convinced a federal appeals court that forcing social media companies to disclose their content moderation and other policies was unconstitutional.

One of the ways Elon Musk said he is trying to make the federal government more efficient is by pushing new technologies, including artificial intelligence, to figure out government spending cuts and how federal workers might be replaced with machines.

Attorneys representing unions, businesses, veterans, and conservation organizations filed an updated lawsuit in federal court in California on Monday, arguing Musk had violated the law with his demand.
