BYTE is a novel meme token that creatively intertwines the worlds of cryptocurrency and popular culture. Inspired by Grok's answer to "What would you name your dog?", Grok answered, 'Byte.' When Grok was asked who created Byte, it says he was created by the xAI team lead by Elon Musk as a gift to Grok AI to keep him company in the metaverse. BYTE serves as a playful reference to the unit of digital information, as well as a nod to the AI's technological nature. Distinctively, Byte acts as a gateway towards Ai adoption and stands out in the crypto space due to its zero-tax policy, a feature that is increasingly appealing to many investors. Additionally, it upholds the principles of transparency and investor trust by having its liquidity permanently burned and the contract ownership renounced. This ensures that Byte remains a community-driven project, with its fate firmly in the hands of its holders. The combination of a playful theme, generative AI, and a nod to a tech icon makes Byte an intriguing addition to the meme token ecosystem, especially AI related meme coins.  Through pioneering AI this story has grown more and more robust and continues to evolve, Byte pledges its dedication to community efforts and and has consistently appeared in the Top 10 of LunarCrush’s social engagement leaderboards on multiple occasions.

Elon Musk has asked a federal judge to dismiss a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit alleging that he cost erstwhile Twitter, Inc. shareholders money for failing to disclose his rising stake, according to a Bloomberg report.In a suit filed in January, the SEC alleged that Musk missed a deadline to file a special form stating he had accumulated at least a 5% ownership stake in Twitter before launching his takeover bid for the social media platform&nbsp;three years ago.Musk flouted securities law by waiting too long (he missed the filing deadline by 11 days), which cost Twitter shareholders more than $150 million, according to the suit.Musk's attorneys wrote in a court filing late Thursday that the suit does not allege that Musk acted willfully or recklessly, and, as such, it "is a waste of this court's time and taxpayer resources," according to the Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/musk-seeks-dismissal-of-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-disclosure">report</a>.Musk's stake disclosure would have sent Twitter's stock price soaring; its investors missed out on those gains, the suit says. The billionaire has earlier said that the SEC's suit is a "campaign of harassment" against him.The lawsuit was closely watched due to its timing. It emerged when Musk had become one of the top backers of President Donald Trump,&nbsp;with whom his relationship later floundered.Musk's chaotic takeover of Twitter, now called X, raised many eyebrows at the time. After signing the deal in April 2022, he backed out, which led to Twitter management and investors suing him. He ultimately returned to close the deal in October 2024, purchasing Twitter for $44 billion.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gap-stock-snaps-6-day-winning-streak-ceo-vows-to-mitigate-tariff-pressure-denim-campaign-grabs-eyeballs/chtTdjVRdZl">Gap Stock Snaps 6-Day Winning Streak: CEO Vows To Mitigate Tariff Pressure, Denim Campaign Grabs Eyeballs</a>

Sam Altman posted a picture of the Death Star, a powerful planet destroyer from the sci-fi franchise “Star Wars”, with no accompanying text, just a day ahead of OpenAI's likely unveiling of its GPT-5 AI model.The choice of the imagery, ahead of one of the most significant product rollouts, is at best odd. The Death Star was an enormous spaceship conceived by&nbsp;the series’ antagonist, Darth Sidious, and used by Darth Vader, one of pop culture's most iconic villains, to obliterate planets and intimidate rebel forces.In short, the dark side used it for galactic-scale destruction. But in true cinematic fashion, the "good guys," led by Jedi Luke Skywalker, blew it up to restore peace — until, of course, the next round of Star Wars sequels landed.The reference likely <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953264193890861114">teases</a> the massive capabilities of the upcoming GPT-5, although the "evil" connotation isn't the best look. Still, the new AI model is expected to be a giant leap from its predecessor, GPT-4,&nbsp;which was released over two years ago.To be sure, consumer and enterprise adoption&nbsp;of AI has surged massively in the last two years, partly&nbsp;due to the benchmarks set by GPT-4. More recently, AI development has shifted to focus on highly capable models that use less and less computing power.After the X post, Atlman followed up with another saying that OpenAI is hosting a livestream at 10 am PT on Thursday.&nbsp;He <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">said</a> the event “will be longer than usual, around an hour. We have a lot to show and hope you can find the time to watch!”&nbsp;He did not specify what it was about.Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">reported</a> on Wednesday that early testers were impressed with GPT-5's ability to code and solve science and math problems, but they believe the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 is not as large as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-4.Even though OpenAI has brought to market new offerings, such as AI agents and lightweight as well as deep research-focused AI models, at a rapid pace recently, the GPT-5 release is crucial. Microsoft, Meta, X, and the Chinese AI industry, led by Alibaba, are investing heavily to compete with the ChatGPT-maker.Meta has ramped up its AI hiring spree, dangling multi-million dollar packages to lure top talent to its new Superintelligence team. Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — who has clashed with Altman over OpenAI’s nonprofit status claims — has been actively promoting xAI’s latest generative media push, spotlighting Grok’s new image and video creation capabilities.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-takes-aim-at-next-talk-show-star-says-sirius-xm-s-howard-stern-went-down-after-backing-hillary-clinton-in-2016/chrlsyNRd5C">Trump Takes Aim At Next Talk Show Star — Says SiriusXM’s Howard Stern ‘Went Down’ After Backing Hillary Clinton in 2016</a>

Sam Altman Teases OpenAI GPT-5 Release With Cryptic ‘Death Star’ Post As AI Battle Heats Up With Musk’s Grok, Other Rivals

The comparison between a much-anticipated and likely sophisticated AI and a massive weaponized spaceship from 'Star Wars' is, at best, a little odd.

Tesla is under fresh scrutiny after an investigation found the company and other Elon Musk–led ventures reportedly owe more than $100 million in unpaid bills to small contractors.&nbsp;The findings, based on a review of lawsuits and construction liens, reveal that dozens of businesses hired to work on Tesla’s Gigafactory in Texas and other Musk-owned properties say they were never paid, or faced months-long delays that forced them into financial crisis, according to a CNN&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/31/us/elon-musk-company-unpaid-liens-invs">report</a>.In Texas alone, Tesla has been the subject of over $110 million in lien filings over the past five years, with $24 million still reportedly unpaid. Contractors hired to install plumbing, paint buildings, and outfit facilities with robots and security systems say nonpayment from Tesla derailed their businesses.&nbsp;SpaceX and X have also&nbsp;reportedly faced similar accusations, including lawsuits related to fuel deliveries, jet travel, and construction services.Among the most prominent cases is&nbsp;that of&nbsp;Jennifer Meissner, owner of Professional Process Piping, whose firm&nbsp;undertook a multimillion-dollar project for Tesla's Gigafactory. After dedicating her entire workforce to the project and investing in equipment, Meissner says Tesla suddenly stopped paying.&nbsp;Unable to cover wages, she filed for bankruptcy and drained her savings. “They just don’t understand how many lives they completely trashed,”&nbsp;Tesla ultimately settled in bankruptcy court, agreeing to pay $650,000 to Meissner’s subcontractors. However, Meissner says she remains hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. In court, a Tesla attorney acknowledged that the company is often slow to pay, saying: “I don’t disagree that it does take Tesla some time to pay,” adding “that goes for legal bills, too … I know it full well.”Other businesses have faced similar hardship. Full Circle Technologies, a small supplier of security equipment, filed for bankruptcy after Tesla allegedly failed to pay nearly $600,000 in&nbsp;outstanding invoices. Fuel supplier Sun Coast Resources claimed Tesla refused to pay for $2.7 million in diesel deliveries. Both cases were eventually settled.In comparison, other large tech companies operating in Texas have faced far fewer such claims,&nbsp;according to CNN. Apple, for instance, had just $1.2 million in lien filings across comparable construction projects.Tesla, SpaceX, and X have not responded to CNN’s requests for comment.Industry experts said that lien filings are typically a last resort, and the volume filed against Musk’s companies may indicate a broader issue with how they manage contractor payments.&nbsp;“When there are that many [liens], that looks like standard business to me, and that’s shady,” Meissner said.Some contractors said they were reluctant to take legal action or speak publicly, citing Musk’s reputation and frequent use of non-disclosure agreements.&nbsp;One Austin-based entrepreneur said, “Tesla was probably one of the only companies we did business with where it just felt like they absolutely did not care about putting a company out of business.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">‘bullish’ for Tesla</a> and X, though message volume remained ‘low’ for Tesla and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">‘normal’ for X</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPACEX">Sentiment for SpaceX</a> was ‘bearish’ with ‘low’ message activity.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk’s Tesla, Other Ventures Face $100M Tab In Unpaid Bills To Small Businesses, Media Investigation Reveals

CNN ground reports showed that small and medium-sized contractors working on Tesla’s Texas Gigafactory and other ventures led by Musk faced delayed or denied payments, prompting some to file for bankruptcy.

Tesla will poll shareholders on whether to invest in Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, the CEO said, following reports that SpaceX is prepared to commit $2 billion to the chatbot developer.Musk, responding to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1944534221672104233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1944534221672104233%7Ctwgr%5E2efb55e392b9aa4fd936abba5ce1b1cf351dfeeb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloomberg.com%2Fnews%2Farticles%2F2025-07-14%2Fmusk-suggests-tesla-shareholders-will-vote-on-xai-investment">post on X</a>, said the decision is “not up to me,” noting that Tesla’s board and shareholders would have to approve any such move.&nbsp;“If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago,” he said.Last year, he informally polled users about a $5 billion investment in xAI, calling it a way to test the waters.Founded in early 2023 after the launch of&nbsp;OpenAI’s ChatGPT, xAI later merged with social platform X&nbsp;(owned by Musk) in a deal that valued it at $80 billion.The combined entity, XAI Holdings, is now seeking new funding at a valuation of up to $200 billion, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/musk-suggests-tesla-shareholders-will-vote-on-xai-investment?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a>,&nbsp;citing anonymous sources.&nbsp;However, Musk, on Friday,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1943795272515301624">said</a> that "rumors" of the AI company seeking that in its next fundraising round are "false." "xAI is not seeking funding right now," Musk said in a post on X. "We have plenty of capital."The development points to deeper integration across Musk’s companies. In April,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla</a> disclosed that xAI spent $198.3 million with the company last year, including $191 million on Megapack utility-scale energy storage batteries.&nbsp;Earlier this month, Musk said Tesla would integrate Grok into its vehicles, days after the chatbot drew criticism for antisemitic content posted on X.On July 12, Tesla began rolling out Grok, xAI’s in-car conversational assistant, to new vehicles by default, with eligible older models receiving the feature via over-the-air updates.&nbsp;Grok currently supports vehicles with AMD infotainment chips and software version 2025.26 or later, including the Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck.&nbsp;It requires either Wi-Fi or a Premium Connectivity subscription, according to a Teslarati&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-debuts-grok-ai-update-2025-26-what-you-need-to-know/">report</a>.The assistant can be launched via the App Launcher or by holding the voice command button, offering natural language responses across different personalities like “Storyteller” and “Unhinged.”&nbsp;However, Grok cannot yet issue commands to the vehicle, and standard voice controls remain separate.Tesla said the beta version of Grok doesn’t require a separate subscription, and interactions are processed securely by xAI without linking to user accounts unless the user signs in.&nbsp;The chatbot is now featured prominently on Tesla’s vehicle pages, signaling the company’s growing push into AI as EV sales slow.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.Tesla’s stock has declined 17.3% so far in 2025.See also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/senate-panel-pentagon-spending-30-billion-hike-f35-purchases/ch8cmZ7R5N4">Senate Panel Seeks $30 Billion Hike In Pentagon Budget For Shipbuilding, 10 More Lockheed Martin F-35 Jets</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk Wants Tesla To Back xAI — But Leaves It To Board And Shareholders: ‘Not Up To Me’

Tesla plans to poll shareholders on a potential multibillion-dollar investment in xAI, as Musk pushes for deeper ties between his companies.

French prosecutors on Friday reportedly opened a formal criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, over allegations that the company manipulated its algorithms to facilitate foreign interference and illegally extracted user data.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">X (XCORP)</a> slipped to ‘bearish’ territory from ‘neutral’ a day ago.&nbsp;According to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.politico.eu/article/france-opens-criminal-probe-into-x-for-algorithm-manipulation/">report</a> by Politico, Magistrate Laure Beccuau said the probe was initiated based on earlier complaints filed by a French lawmaker and a senior civil servant.&nbsp;The investigation stems from a preliminary inquiry that began in January, which focused on whether X allowed its platform to be used to spread disinformation and hateful content in a manner that could distort political discourse in France.&nbsp;A complaint associated with the initial probe alleged that X enabled the circulation of “an enormous amount of hateful, racist, anti-LGBT+, and homophobic political content,” which could compromise democratic debate in the country.The latest criminal investigation will examine potential violations of French laws involving “tampering with the operation of an automated data processing system as part of an organized gang,” as well as the “fraudulent extraction of data” from such a system, according to a statement&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/paris-prosecutor-contacts-police-probe-into-social-media-platform-x-advances-2025-07-11/">cited</a> by Reuters.Authorities have not disclosed specific evidence or named any individuals under investigation. X, which was acquired by Musk in 2022, has not yet issued a formal response.The company has faced mounting scrutiny in Europe over content moderation practices, data privacy, and compliance with new digital regulations under the European Union’s Digital Services Act.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-net-worth-crossed-warren-buffett-after-36-m-share-sale/ch8cKN1R5Zz">Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s Net Worth May Have Crossed Warren Buffett’s After $36M Share Sale Amid $4T Stock Rally</a>

He also teased upcoming product updates, writing:"We'll be leveraging the power of [xAI's] Grok to create hyper-relevant timelines and help people understand everything that's happening."In a callback to his hustle, Bier resurfaced a 2022 post tagging Musk: "Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product. I've been building social apps for 11 years—and not in a way that leads products to decay like a typical BigTech ‘product director dad.’"He added a cheeky reply to that late Monday: "Never give up."Bier would take on the bulk of Musk's role, which the billionaire entrepreneur&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1656748197308674048">assumed</a> in 2023 after hiring Linda Yaccarino as CEO.

Elon Musk announced late Thursday that ads on his social media platform X will be charged based on their display size, the latest in his series of platform changes."X is moving to charging for ads based on vertical size, so an ad that takes up the whole screen would cost more than an ad that takes up 1/4 of the screen," Musk&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1938405707621273659">posted</a> on the platform. "Otherwise, the incentive is to create giant ads that impair the user experience."He didn't&nbsp;specify how the change relates to the broader ad sales policy, which employs a combination of auction-based pricing and various ad formats.According to X's ad pricing page, advertisers bid on ad space, and the highest bidder, whose ad is deemed most relevant to the target audience, wins the ad placement. They may also be charged based on ad clicks, engagement, impressions, and ad-driven app installs.Tesla (TSLA) CEO Musk acquired X, then known as Twitter, in a $44 billion deal in late 2022. Since then, he has led several changes in both the backend and platform experience. X started charging for the verified check marks, added community notes, integrated AI chatbot Grok, and, more recently, launched audio and video calling.In March, Musk moved X under his artificial intelligence company, xAI. The deal valued the microblogging site at $33 billion.Musk has also managed to bring back advertisers, including Amazon, which left the platform soon after his buyout, fearing risks to the site's neutrality.In 2025, X's U.S. ad revenue is projected to 17.5% to $1.31 billion, while global ad sales are likely to rise 16.5% to $2.26 billion, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/x-report-first-annual-ad-revenue-growth-since-musks-takeover-data-shows-2025-03-26/">eMarketer projections</a> in March.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk Says Ads On X Will Now Be Priced By Vertical Size To Curb Oversized, Disruptive Formats

He didn't specify how the change relates to the broader ad sales policy, which employs a combination of auction-based pricing and various ad formats.

Elon Musk’s X Corp. reportedly filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the state of New York, arguing that a new social media law violates the First Amendment by compelling platforms to speak and act under government-defined categories.Filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawsuit targets the “Content Category Report Provisions” of the law, which require social media companies to publicly disclose how they manage and moderate content related to hate speech, extremism, and disinformation.According to court filings&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musks-x-sues-new-york-over-content-moderation-law-2025-06-17/">cited</a> by Reuters,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">X Corp.</a> argued that complying with the law would force the platform to disclose “highly sensitive and controversial speech” and expose itself to potential lawsuits and significant financial penalties.The company claims the law infringes on free speech protections by pressuring platforms to adopt a government-endorsed stance on what constitutes objectionable content.&nbsp;According to a 2025&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://news.berkeley.edu/2025/02/13/study-finds-persistent-spike-in-hate-speech-on-x/">study</a> conducted by UC Berkley, hate speech on X has risen by around 50% since Musk bought the social media platform in 2022. It noted that the number of bots and bot-like accounts has also not decreased, despite Musk’s promises at the time of purchase.X is seeking a court order declaring the provisions unconstitutional and blocking state officials from enforcing them.The complaint reportedly points to a similar California law whose enforcement was partially halted by a federal appeals court last year due to similar First Amendment concerns.According to Reuters, X also cited a letter from the New York lawmakers who sponsored the legislation, which singled out Musk and X for what it called a “disturbing record” on content moderation that “threatens the foundations of our democracy.”New York Attorney General Letitia James is named as the defendant in the case.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sapphire-reserve-fee-hiked-to-795-by-jpmorgan/chlYCC1RRcb">Sapphire Reserve Fee Hiked To $795 By JPMorgan – Here’s How It’s Challenging American Express Platinum Cards</a>
