Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says a software’s user interface is “the most important thing”—and on that metric, Tesla fails miserably. An early Tesla adopter, Wozniak has since soured on the carmaker and CEO Elon Musk after a number of software changes he says destroyed the driving experience. Wozniak detailed his complaints in a recent interview.
Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak was once bullish on Tesla—a decade ago, the early adopter waxed rhapsodic about loving his Model S “the most of all our cars—ever.”

But Wozniak has soured on Tesla and CEO Elon Musk after a series of changes to Tesla’s interiors he said degraded the driving experience.

“Coming from Apple, the user interface, the way you deal with technology, is the most important thing in the world to me,” Wozniak said in an interview with CNBC Wednesday. “And Tesla is the worst in the world at that.”

“Every step up, where they changed a thing in the car, it got worse and worse and worse. And now it is just miserable for user interface,” he continued.

What makes it miserable, according to Wozniak, is the system’s constant changes.

“Where to find the time of day changes depending on what [driving] mode you’re in,” he said. “The buttons that go through your six favorite channels don’t work if it’s satellite radio channels. It takes so many tries to hit one button in your jiggly car, and it just doesn’t work.”

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

The carmaker was an early pioneer of now-ubiquitous touchscreens in cars. Where drivers once had an array of knobs and switches in their vehicles’ dashboards, Tesla offered a single sleek screen, with options that could change based on a driver’s earlier selections.

“Why have buttons when you have a screen?” one driver asked, praising Tesla’s approach not just for its futuristic look but for the way it allows the carmaker to update its controls seamlessly. (With no physical buttons, Tesla could rearrange the entire dashboard with a single software update).

But this futuristic look comes at a price, and for Wozniak, it’s the inability to ever truly know where a screen option is or what it does.

“The modes hide things that aren’t there, and your finger knows how to get them,” he told CNBC. “Nothing makes sense in that car, intuitively.

Elon Musk’s wealth has plunged $121 billion since its December peak after Tesla stock experienced one of its worst days this year, Forbes reported.

The Tesla CEO on Thursday lost $8.8 billion in the stock bath, bringing his net worth down to $342 billion, according to calculations by Forbes. Musk was worth $464 billion less than three months ago on December 17, according to the magazine.

Tesla stock fell as the S&P 550 tumbled 1.78 percent Thursday, a day after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico, spooking investors.

Musk’s wealth largely stems from his company holdings.

Tesla stock surged following Trump’s election in November. In December, the stock hit $479 a share. It was trading at $261 in Thursday’s after-hours market. China is the company’s second-largest consumer market

Similar to other American automakers, Tesla relies on Canada for imported parts to manufacture its vehicles. Even the company’s Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja warned investors in January about the harmful impact tariffs would have on operations.

Lesotho’s foreign minister said on Wednesday he was shocked and insulted by US President Donald Trump saying nobody has heard of the African country, and invited him to come visit.

Trump mentioned Lesotho in his address to US Congress on Tuesday evening while listing some of the foreign spending he had cut as “appalling waste.”

“Eight million dollars to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of,” Trump said, drawing laughs in the Congress.

Lesotho’s foreign minister, Lejone Mpotjoane, said the remark was “quite insulting.”

I’m really shocked that my country can be referred to like that by the head of state,” he told Reuters.

Lesotho, a mountainous nation of about 2 million people which is encircled by South Africa, has the highest average altitude of any country and is sometimes called The Kingdom in the Sky.

Lesotho is such a significant and unique country in the whole world. I would be happy to invite the president, as well as the rest of the world to come to Lesotho,” said Mpotjoane.

He said some civil society organizations funded by the US Embassy in Lesotho did work to support the LGBT+ community, but the United States also provided important funding for the country’s health and agriculture sectors......

Trumps errand boy Musk, having a feel of the heat.

Authorities in France are investigating a suspected arson attack that left a dozen Tesla vehicles in ruins at a dealership in Plaisance-du-Touch, a suburb of Toulouse. The fire, which broke out late Sunday night, caused an estimated 700,000 euros in damages, reported local news website La Depeche.

It also raised questions about possible motives ranging from sabotage to political activism at a time when there is growing anti-Tesla sentiment in Europe, fueled by CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the US government.

Firefighters arrived at the scene around 4 am on Monday and managed to contain the blaze to the vehicles. Eight cars were completely destroyed, while four others suffered significant damage. The Tesla dealership itself remained untouched, though it was forced to close for the day as investigations began.

Local authorities have indicated that arson is the likely cause, citing a hole found in the perimeter fence, reported French news website Numerama. Authorities also pointed to previous threats towards previous threats by militant groups towards Tesla.

Anti-Musk sentiment
The attack comes amid rising tensions surrounding Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk. Musk’s recent political stances, including his alignment with US President Donald Trump and support for far-right parties in Europe, have sparked backlash. Protest movements targeting Tesla have emerged, particularly in the United States, where demonstrations and acts of vandalism have been reported. Some groups have even called for direct action against Tesla locations worldwide.

Sales of Tesla vehicles in France and Germany have seen a sharp decline. The fire in Toulouse follows other recent anti-Tesla incidents, including an alleged arson attack on Tesla Superchargers in Massachusetts.

And the war continues. Trump made a big mistake.

Canadian provinces pulling US alcohol off store shelves in response to Trump trade policy is "worse than tariffs", the boss of Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman has said.

Several Canadian provinces, including Ontario, which is by far the most populated, took action this week in retaliation for US tariffs on Canadian goods.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), one of the largest buyers of alcohol in the world, removed US-made alcoholic drinks from its shelves on Tuesday.

Brown-Forman boss Lawson Whiting said the Canadian response was "disproportionate" to the 25% levies on Canadian goods imposed by the Trump administration.

Several Canadian provinces, including Ontario, which is by far the most populated, took action this week in retaliation for US tariffs on Canadian goods.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), one of the largest buyers of alcohol in the world, removed US-made alcoholic drinks from its shelves on Tuesday.

Brown-Forman boss Lawson Whiting said the Canadian response was "disproportionate" to the 25% levies on Canadian goods imposed by the Trump administration.


"I mean, that's worse than a tariff, because it's literally taking your sales away, completely removing our products from the shelves," Mr Whiting said.

In response to the tariffs, Canada has retaliated with 25% levies on goods imported from the US, including beer, spirits, and wine.

Some provinces also took action themselves, including Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the LCBO sells nearly $1bn of US alcohol per year. "As of today, every single one of these products is off the shelves," Mr Ford said on Tuesday.

The LCBO is the exclusive wholesaler in Ontario, which means other retailers, bars and restaurants in the province will no longer be able to restock US products, Mr Ford said.

Nevertheless, Mr Whiting said Canada makes up only 1% of Brown-Forman's total sales, so the firm can withstand the hit.

Canadians are being advised by the LCBO to buy products made in Canada. Some Canadians have been turning to local goods anyway in response to the Trump tariffs.

China will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on some U.S. goods, its government said, while Canada vowed tariffs of up to 25% after new U.S. tariffs on both countries took effect.

HONG KONG — China and Canada moved swiftly on Tuesday to retaliate against newly imposed U.S. tariffs, announcing their own levies on U.S. goods that could further disrupt the United States’ trade with its top three trading partners.

A 25% U.S. tariff on almost all goods imported from Canada and Mexico took effect Tuesday just after midnight, along with an additional 10% tariff on goods from China. The three countries together accounted for more than 40% of total U.S. imports last year and are also the top three U.S. export markets.
China will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on some U.S. goods, its government said, while Canada vowed tariffs of up to 25%. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced her country would enact countermeasures Sunday in response to the U.S. tariffs, adding that they would include both “tariff and nontariff measures.”

The new Chinese levies, which take effect on March 10, include a 15% tariff on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton and a 10% tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables and dairy and fish products. Chinese state media had reported earlier that U.S. agricultural products would be targeted.

China says that the U.S. tariffs undermine cooperation between the world’s two largest economies and that they hurt American businesses and consumers, as well as international trade.

“The Chinese people have never believed in coercion or intimidation, nor do we succumb to bullying and hegemonic tactics,” Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.

Pressure, threats and coercion are not the right way to engage with China. If the U.S. attempts to exert extreme pressure on China, it is simply targeting the wrong country and miscalculating its moves.”
