| | |  |  Tesla Sued Over Austin Shooter's Prior Assault
A woman who worked at Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin claims in a lawsuit that the perpetrator of last week's mass shooting at a downtown Austin bar assaulted her at work in December, alleging the automaker was aware of Ndiaga Diagne's "volatile temperament and propensity for aggression." Lillian Mendoza Brady, 65, claims Diagne attacked her as she tried to walk around him while he was praying at the facility. Tesla refused to disclose his identity or provide video of her encounter with him, but she recognized him from reports about the deadly shooting. Brady was unable to work for six weeks due to injuries to her neck, back, and hips, according to the lawsuit. She's seeking more than $1 million in damages from the automaker. "The lawsuit is really about Miss Brady's right to have a safe workplace, but it's also about what did Tesla know about this assailant before the assault and could they have prevented the assault itself," said the woman's attorney. | Austin ISD Allegedly Let Male Use Girl's Restroom Attorney General Ken Paxton has notified Austin ISD that his office received a complaint of a biological male using the women's restroom at Austin High School in violation of Senate Bill 8, or the Texas Women's Privacy Act, which went into effect in December. Paxton's notification appears to be the first enforcement action related to the law, which requires public institutions to ensure sex-segregated spaces are not used by people of the opposite sex. A parent filed a complaint against the district last month. "I will work tirelessly to hold Austin ISD accountable if it does not stop its unlawful, woke policy of allowing men to invade women's spaces," said Paxton, who informed district officials they have 15 days to remedy the situation. The notice is a statutory prerequisite to filing a lawsuit to enforce the law. Paxton said Austin ISD would face a $5,000-per-day penalty if the alleged violation isn't addressed. | Girls Basketball Championships Highlights San Antonio hosted the Texas high school girls state championships this week at the Alamodome, where the 24-team tournament has been held since 2015. Humble Summer Creek defeated Flower Mound 55-45 to repeat as 6A Division I champions. Junior Erin Newsom was named the MVP for her defense of Flower Mound junior Maci Pringle, who came into the contest averaging 20.9 points and 10.2 rebounds a game. Lancaster shocked undefeated Austin Westlake in a 51-37 upset win for the 6A Division II championship and their first state title. Austin Westlake had beaten Lancaster 78-74 in double overtime earlier in the season. Denton Ryan, Dallas Lincoln, Decatur, Nazareth, and Broaddus also won back-to-back championships, with Nazareth extending their national public school record for girls' basketball titles to 27. Hitchcock beat Shallowater 60-46 to win their first 3A Division I championship. The Alamodome will host the boys' tournament this weekend. | | | Flying together with our sponsor 
The AI Investment Hiding Under the Chip Boom While headlines focus on chips and data centers, a quieter AI race is unfolding and early investors are already moving in. Big brands aren't asking who has the flashiest AI model. They're asking who can turn AI into cleaner decisions and better numbers quarter after quarter. RAD Intel has been building for that second wave from the start. While most investors chased the obvious names, RAD Intel quietly stacked 5,000%+ valuation growth in 4 years, delivered 2× sales contract growth in 2025, and has multiple recurring 7-figure enterprise contracts under its belt. The platform sits beneath major enterprise marketing budgets across industries like gaming, entertainment, and fashion, helping companies see where the next dollar is most likely to perform before it's spent. 15,000 investors have already stepped in and $60M+ has been raised while the company is still private, with a reserved Nasdaq ticker $RADI. Shares are $0.85 for now, with a scheduled share price change on March 12 at 11:59 pm P.T.
