<h3>Elon Musk attends Trump's dinner</h3>Days ago, Elon Musk had a dinner with Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday (Nov 18, 2025). The meeting was the second joint public appearance since a bitter public feud earlier this year.&nbsp;Elon Musk reportedly backed and financed the election campaign of Donald Trump last year and later became a key adviser in the new administration, heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and overseeing reductions in federal spending and staffing, according to a report by news agency Reuters.&nbsp;However, their relationship quickly soured. Musk criticised Trump’s broad tax and spending package online, calling it financially irresponsible, and announced plans to form a new political party. Trump retaliated by threatening to withdraw the federal subsidies worth billions that Musk’s companies relied on.&nbsp;According to analysts, the clash, combined with Musk’s increasingly far-right rhetoric, damaged Tesla’s reputation, sales and share value. Since then, the two have seldom appeared together publicly. Their last known interaction was a handshake at a memorial event for conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September.

The plaintiff also alleged that her infant daughter was taken away because she filed the lawsuit, a technique which is &nbsp;“identical in every material respect” to Epstein’s. The uncertified copy of the lawsuit alleges that the US Department of Homeland Security was aware of the trafficking against the plaintiff but failed to intervene.The lawsuit also alleges that between 2023 and November 2025, there had been 5 different attempts to murder the lead plaintiff employing “poisoning, vehicular assaults and orchestrated physical attacks designed to appear accidental.” The plaintiffs in the case are seeking $310 million in compensatory damages, more than $134 million in attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief that includes “immediate return of full legal and physical custody” of the lead plaintiff's daughter.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Elon Musk says a future without compulsory work is coming, powered by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. According to Musk, AI-driven productivity could make traditional jobs optional, reshaping economies, labor markets, and global wealth distribution. Here’s what Musk claims, why experts are divided, and what this future could actually look like.

Elon Musk has again said that the future shaped by artificial intelligence and robotics. And in in future, people will live with a choice to work rather than a need to work. Elon Musk shared this view during a conversation with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath on the People by WTF podcast released on 30 November.&nbsp;Musk has made similar predictions earlier, but this is one of his most direct statements on how fast he believes the shift will happen.

<h2>Musk repeats his prediction about work becoming optional</h2>Speaking on the podcast, Musk said, “My prediction is that, in the future, working will be optional. People can play this back in 20 years and say it was wrong, but I think it will be correct.”He added that advances in AI and robotics will likely reach this stage in “less than 20 years, maybe even 10 or 15”.&nbsp;Musk compared this future to how people today can choose to grow vegetables in their garden, or just directly getting from shops. In other words, work may become something people do for interest, not for survival.&nbsp;<h2>AI and robotics at the centre of the prediction</h2>Musk has often spoken about the rapid progress in automation. According to him, AI systems and robots will soon handle most routine and even advanced tasks. This, he said, could remove the economic pressure on people to work full-time jobs.He also acknowledged that listeners may question the prediction later, but insisted he expects it to be accurate based on the current pace of technological development.&nbsp;

Elon Musk’s X is in chaos after a new feature revealed where accounts are actually based—triggering accusations of global troll farms, fake MAGA influencers, and foreign influence operations. The tool, launched by X’s head of product Nikita Bier, exposed networks allegedly operating from Nigeria, Thailand, Bangladesh, Eastern Europe, and more. Investigators say the feature confirms long-suspected foreign-run political manipulation online. Here’s what the data reveals—and why it matters.

The owner of Grok AI, Elon Musk, has recently made a bold prediction about the future of work. Speaking at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, he said that in the next 10 to 20 years, employment could become optional for most of the people. According to Musk, rapid advancement in the AI and robots could change the society so much that regular jobs become unnecessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I do not know exactly what long-term means, perhaps 10 to 20 years," Musk said. “My prediction is that work will be optional”. He compared future work to hobbies like sports or video games, something people might choose to do just because they enjoy it.

After multiple visuals of tech billionaire Elon Musk surfaced showing at the White House alongside the US President and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday, it is being signalled and speculated that the relationship between both is repairing. This marks a second public sighting together since a bitter feud earlier this year.

The invitation for a candlelit dinner by Trump followed just months after Elon Musk publicly demanded the impeachment of Trump and indicated that the president was linked to the case involving sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, before the fallout, Musk had been one of the biggest supporters of Trump, who supported and funded the presidential election.&nbsp;He also emerged as a significant adviser for the Trump administration, heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and overseeing cuts to federal funding and jobs as soon as the US president came to power. But soon, the relationship between them quickly soured.&nbsp;Following this, Musk criticised Trump’s expansive tax-and-spending legislation as reckless and announced plans to form a new political party. In response, Trump threatened to withdraw federal subsidies that benefit the companies of Musk.<h3>Elon Musk's handshake at a September memorial for Charlie Kirk</h3>Analysts indicated that the clash, coupled with Musk’s shift toward hard-right political messaging, hurt the brand perception, sales, and stock value of Tesla.

Elon Musk:  X Challenges Govt's 'sahyog' Takedown Powers in High Court

Famous pop star Billie Eilish, in a series of social media posts, attacked the world's first trillionaire, calling out the extreme wealth and inequality. In a series of stories, Billie referred to Elon as "f---ing pathetic p---- bitch coward." The nine-time Grammy award-winning musician posted slides from an activist group, My Voice, My Choice, which implies that Musk could use his fortune to solve all the major issues, from world hunger to saving endangered species.&nbsp;It was a carousel post, the first slide in the post featured a picture of Elon Musk, with captions: "Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire. Here's what he could do with it." The subsequent slides suggest a series of pictures that Musk could perform these tasks with a tiny portion of his wealth. Tesla founder could "end world hunger" and "choose to spend $40 billion every year to end world hunger by 2030 or provide universal safe clean water $140 billion for the planet for the next seven years."&nbsp;The following slide suggested that Musk could protect 10433 endangered species, by paying $1billion- $2 billion annually. The final slide reads, “At just $53.2 billion, Musk could rebuild Gaza and the occupied West Bank according to the EU. Although the UN predicts this could be upwards of $70 billion for Gaza alone. If he wanted to spread the wealth and aid further, he could also rebuild Ukraine and Syria at a cost of $793.2 billion.”<h2>World's first trillionaire</h2>The post from Billie Eilish comes as Elon Musk becomes the World's first trillionaire after Tesla shareholders approved a landmark package for Musk. Musk, who is valued at $465 billion already, would get stock options worth $1 trillion if he could achieve targets such as increasing Tesla's market value from roughly $1.4 trillion to $8.5 trillion, selling one million humanoid robots and achieving 10 million paid users for its self-driving software.Billie Eilish had been vocal about her stands against billionaires. Last month, during her acceptance of the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, she called out how there can be so many billionaires amid such widespread hunger and dire need.“We're in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country…I'd say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it,” said the pop star. Among the audience, there were people like Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, &nbsp;Rhode founder Hailey Bieber and 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas. She notably announced $11.5 million from her ‘Hit Me Soft and Hard’ tour income to various organisations and charities. Billie Eilish has a net worth of around $53 million in October 2025.&nbsp;

'Pathetic coward': Pop star Billie Eilish, took a dig at the world's first trillionaire Elon Musk

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is all set to become the world's first trillionaire as the company has approved a pay package of $1 trillion. As the news buzzes on the internet, many said the amount could end world hunger and even let Musk buy the top three US oil companies. But the real question is, what does Musk plan to do with this money? Well, it does not seem he has many plans, as the billionaire claimed multiple times previously that he likes to live a simple life.&nbsp;In multiple interviews, Musk said that he &nbsp;"prefers a simple lifestyle with few belongings". He said he refrains from spending on luxuries. In 2021, Musk had an interview with TED's Chris Anderson. He revealed there that he doesn't own a house and sleeps in a friend's spare bedroom.&nbsp;Meanwhile, in 2022, Musk's former partner Grimes, who shares two children with Musk, said, "Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line." She said this in an interview with Vanity Fair. Grimes said Musk once refused to buy a new mattress despite it having a hole in it.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/zohran-mamdani-to-be-removed-as-new-york-mayor-possible-if-this-trump-ally-wins-the-governor-s-race-1762606463923">Zohran Mamdani to be removed as New York mayor?

 Shareholders of tesla have approved a historic pay package for its CEO, Elon Musk. The board says it could be worth up to 1 trillion dollars, though its cash-in-hand value is pegged at about 878 billion dollars. Making it one of the largest pay deals in corporate history.


Tesla Shareholders Approve Historic $878 Billion Musk Pay Deal

Tesla shareholders have approved an unprecedented $878 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk, potentially making him the first trillionaire if Tesla meets ambitious growth milestones over the next decade. The deal includes stock options that vest as Tesla hits market capitalization targets from $2 trillion to $8.5 trillion, along with operational goals like delivering 20 million vehicles and deploying robotaxis. 

Tesla Shareholders Approve Elon Musk’s $878 Billion Pay Package

Approximately 75 per cent of Tesla shareholders paved way for tech giant Elon Musk to become first trillionaire after they overwhelmingly supported massive pay package for him. A Tesla official after company's annual meeting said that the package aims to ensure Musk stays at Tesla for at least seven-and-a-half years. It would lift Musk's holding in Tesla from about 12 percent to more than 25 percent, AFP reported.&nbsp;Tesla investors have showed their faith on Musk in the past, including a 2018 deal for about $55.8 billion pay package despite legal hurdles. However, business analysts say that the vote is crucial for Tesla's future even as Musk's political turn has hurt the Tesla brand this year. Meanwhile, shareholders also reelected three directors on Tesla's board and voted in favor of annual elections for all board members.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/elon-musk-s-1-trillion-pay-package-faces-growing-investor-opposition-1762321094134/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/elon-musk-s-1-trillion-pay-package-faces-growing-investor-opposition-1762321094134/embed</a>&nbsp;Musk, already the world's richest person according to Forbes's real-time list of billionaires, could get as much as $1 trillion in stock over the next decade. To become a trillionaire, Musk must hit 12 milestones related to market capitalisation to receive the full pay package. The first tranche would be available when Tesla reaches $2 trillion in market value, up from its current $1.5 trillion. The plan also involves product goals, such as the delivery of 20 million Tesla vehicles.&nbsp;&nbsp;Read More | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/could-musk-leave-tesla-as-ceo-company-chair-warns-shareholders-1761587250569">Could Elon Musk leave Tesla as CEO?
