Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a merger. After SpaceX’s earnings call on October twenty, 2026, Musk said both companies have independent director committees studying the possibility. He added that he cannot participate in the discussions because he is a conflicted party, but he believes the merger would be a good idea. The discussion follows SpaceX’s strong Q3 results, with sales of fourteen point six billion dollars and net income of four point four billion dollars, driven largely by AI compute contracts and Starlink. Tesla’s Q3 revenue was about twenty eight billion dollars, with net income falling forty‑three percent to seven hundred eighty‑seven million dollars, as the company expands robotaxi operations and AI initiatives.

The legendary studio behind Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic announced that it is closing and that early development on the next Mass Effect game is ending. The announcement came minutes after Bloomberg reported 400 job cuts at Electronic Arts, including 50 at BioWare. EA said it was “making deliberate choices to align talent and investments where we see the greatest opportunities for players and long‑term growth.” BioWare, founded in 1995 and acquired by EA in 2007, has faced a series of high‑profile departures and mixed‑review titles in recent years. The studio’s closure marks the end of more than three decades of shared adventures.

Maryland dismissed long‑time head coach Mike Locksley on Wednesday after a 2‑5 start to the 2026 season. The Terrapins fell 37‑30 to Rutgers in their homecoming game at SECU Stadium. Athletic director Jim Smith said the decision was made after thoughtful conversations with Locksley and was in the best interest of both the coach and the program. Locksley, who began coaching Maryland in December 2018, finished with a 39‑54 record over seven-plus seasons. The school will begin a search for a replacement immediately. Locksley will receive a $9.75 million buyout; he earned $6.4 million this season. Maryland is the first Power Four program to fire its head coach this season.

A Republican candidate released a viral attack ad that featured the mother of Democratic nominee Amy Acton, calling her daughter a liar. The ad omitted that Acton alleged her mother was raped by her stepfather forty years ago when she was twelve. Acton and her brother were removed from their mother’s custody in 1978 after her stepfather was arrested and charged. The stepfather was never prosecuted and died in 2004. The ad was first posted on social media on Monday evening, and the campaign confirmed it on Tuesday, pledging to spend four million dollars to air it further. Ohio Governor Kathy Hochul and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker condemned the attack as abhorrent and vile. Acton’s team countered with a video featuring her brother Philip Stearns, describing childhood abuse and criticizing the Republican candidate.

Apple has introduced a new Apple Music logo that resembles a musical note floating beneath rippling waves. The design was produced using practical effects: the logo was etched onto the glass floor of a small tank, filled with mineral oil, and a transparent cover was placed over it. An instrument played a short series of tones, causing the oil to ripple, and the resulting footage was filmed. The project was a collaboration between Apple, music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics, with the goal of translating sound into a visually striking wave.
