The U.K. has shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. Now stock markets around the globe are plummeting. Other results of the Brexit: British Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation; the value of the pound has plunged to its lowest level since 1985, and Scotland and Northern Ireland, which voted solidly to remain in the EU, are talking about splitting from the U.K. The BBC's venerated World Affairs Editor called the U.K.'s vote the biggest "world change" since the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Tesla's purchase of SolarCity means that the electric car and battery maker is assuming the solar energy company's gigantic debt burden; the two companies combined owe more than $6 billion, much of which is due next year. If this deal has any chance at succeeding, Musk will need to completely revamp SolarCity's business.

Reminder: Silicon Valley hates Donald Trump.
The headlines are insane right now. Watch Tom Hanks use Indiana Jones-lite skills to stop a plague or something. It's unclear, but it looks stupid fun.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
