Is the ‘Dead Internet’ theory suddenly coming true? This could be a sign

There’s been a popular theory floating around conspiracy circles for about seven or eight years now. It’s called the “Dead Internet” theory, and its main argument is that the organic, human-created content that powered the early web in the 1990s and 2000s has been usurped by artificially created content, which now dominates what people see online. Hence, the internet is “dead” because the content most of us consume is no longer created by living beings (humans).

Tesla’s place atop the EV market could be coming to an end

Ask most people in the U.S. to name an electric vehicle company, and one word will immediately come to mind: Tesla. Elon Musk’s EV firm has dominated discourse—and dominates the market in many areas.

But times are tough, and Monday’s announcement that Tesla will be laying off more than 10% of its staff, or 14,000 people, is an indication tha

Tesla layoffs: Elon Musk’s EV maker will reportedly cut more than 10% of its workforce

Elon Musk has reportedly announced a round of mass layoffs at Tesla, according to Electrek. In an email reportedly sent to employees, the Tesla CEO announced that the carmaker would cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce. Last year, Tesla reported having just over 140,000 workers, so such a reduction would mean at least 14,000 Tesla employees will be laid off.
