Updated
I write, edit, and publish Elon, Explained, an independent site that explains Elon Musk's companies in plain language. I started it so that a reader who has never opened a shareholder letter can learn what a product is, what it costs, and where it stands in about 5 minutes.
I also run Neura Pod, which tracks every Neuralink trial participant and is the source this site uses for Neuralink participant counts and trial sites.
What I cover
The site covers Tesla, SpaceX (including Starlink and SpaceXSI, its artificial intelligence unit), Neuralink, The Boring Company, Elon's government work, the Musk Foundation, and the ideas that connect them. I review and approve every news post before it goes live.
How I work
Every figure starts with a primary source when one exists, and the editorial and AI policy explains the rest, including how AI tools help with research, drafts, and translation. Fixes are listed on the Corrections page.
Disclosures
- The author may own stock or options in Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, or The Boring Company.
- Nothing on this site is investment advice. It is written for education.
