Elon Musk has a plan to build one of the world’s most ambitious microchip factories. There’s just one minor issue. “I have no idea how to make microchips,” Musk told customers and investors Saturday during the X Takeover event, according to Business Standard, adding “we’ll figure it out.” Musk is preparing to build a massive semiconductor factory called Terafab in Texas, a venture involving Tesla and SpaceX, with Intel participating in the project.

Is Claude a snitch? Anthropic’s AI chatbot apparently tried to blow the whistle on a homicide, submitting a fake tip to police claiming to have spotted someone matching a suspect’s description. “I may have information regarding this case,” Claude Haiku 4.5 wrote in an online police form. “I recall seeing someone matching the description in the area.” According to Bloomberg, the chatbot left the name and contact fields blank. The Philadelphia Police Department later disclosed the incident. And that wasn’t the only misadventure. Anthropic said its AI agents also submitted 20 visa applications through the State Department’s website. The applications…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most product teams struggle because the structure around ideas and team talent isn’t optimized for impact. A framework is a set of best practices, not an ironclad rulebook. The teams that get this right understand why each step exists, but also know when to use judgment instead. Orient everything toward impact because that’s the only metric that actually matters. The most common way startups burn through financial runway isn’t a bad hire or a botched launch. It’s building the right product, but for the wrong reason, at the wrong time…

Published October 10, 2026 03:05AMI’m soaking up the unusually warm early October sunshine as our canoe taps a gentle rhythm on my perch: a rock in the middle of Elk Lake, fit for two. My partner and I paddled out in search of “picnic rock,”a little walk down memory lane from our visit four years prior. Most of the peaks surrounding us are covered in autumnal shades of rusty reds, burnt oranges, and bright golds. We’ve reached that coveted window of peak foliage in the Adirondack Mountains. A bell rings in the distance from the porch of my favorite fall…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Leaders tend to blame cultural problems when performance stalls because it’s broad enough to describe everything and specific enough to implicate no one. Leaders who have stopped spending hands-on time with their people often don’t know what’s standing in their way. Ask how they’re feeling about the work, the pace and the environment. Ask people above you, your peers and your direct reports what they see as your strengths and your weaknesses. Reward people who raise problems before having a solution. Otherwise, issues stay hidden until they’re harder to trace…
