Musk’s website collects extensive personal information from users, profiles them and tracks their internet use. It then shares this data with X, Meta, Google, and other online advertising companies.

American workers are taking home a historically low share of the value they produce, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In the second quarter of 2026, the labor share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) hit its lowest level since the BLS first began tracking it in 1947.
