Elon Musk says he's "under stress" but has been sleeping in the Tesla factory to ensure production of the Model 3 Tesla car reaches consumers in a timely manner, reports CBS.
"There shouldn't be a question mark as to whether somebody is going to get their car. It's just, yes, you'll definitely get your car. It's going to be 6 to 9 months longer than expected ... three of those months have already passed."— Elon Musk on CBS This Morning

A baseless conspiracy theory that Joe Biden would wear an electronic device in his ear during the first presidential debate on Tuesday went viral on social media hours before the event.
Why it matters: The conspiracy originated on social media before appearing in a text message sent by President Trump’s re-election campaign to supporters. It was then regurgitated by media outlets like Fox News and New York Post, who cited the Trump campaign, throughout the day, according to NBC News.

Amy Coney Barrett said in a questionnaire released by the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that President Trump offered her the Supreme Court nomination on Sept. 21, five days before he announced the pick to the public.
Why it matters: According to the questionnaire, Trump offered Barrett the nomination just three days after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, suggesting that the president knew early on that Barrett was his pick. Minutes after offering Barrett the nomination, however, Trump told reporters that he had not made up his mind and that five women were on the shortlist.
