Probably over 30k people working in high-paying jobs at Tesla HQ & manufacturing in Austin by 2028!
Iβm so glad this is being done!
An important next step is making it autonomous.
This is the electric plane Elon dreamed of!
Anders Forslund of Heart Aerospace joins @Jason to show off their electric plane, which used up just $5 worth of power for a full 20-minute trip.
Could this change short-haul flights? What locations would these flights best be used at?
Having electric brakes avoids the complexity of a hydraulic system: no need to rout plumbing all around the car
The Cybercab motor uses no rare earth metals, but maintains the same range!
This was extremely hard to achieve.
Weβve come a long way. Tesla IPO value was a thousandth of its current value!
Lmao

Elon Musk may have used his Starlink satellites to steal the 2024 election for Donald Trump, according to a new Alex Gibney documentary seen by The Hollywood Reporter (THR).
βTwo revelations, or at least intimations, especially stand out,β writes Steven Zeitchik. The first is an allegation by βMusk ex and former conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, a central figure in the documentary,β who says Musk had a βdegree of certaintyβ about the elections that βI had never seen before.β
She says Musk told her, βI have ten thousand lasers in space.β
βSo you think he was referring to Starlink?β asks Gibney, who has made a series of films about frauds including βEnron,β βScientology,β and βThe Inventor,β about Elizabeth Holmesβs start-up Theranos.
βI mean, I donβt know where else he has space lasers,β replies St. Clair.
According to Zeitchik, Gibney βhints he is taking it seriously when he then says in his patented voiceover, βWhat is Elon building, what are his goals, what are his actual motivations, and do we even know this man at all?ββ
But election officials in North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania confirmed what most journalists and people in politics already knew, which is that voting equipment is not connected to the internet. βOur election equipment is 100% air-gapped,β said Georgia elections spokesman Mike Hassinger, who called the claims βabsolutely conspiratorial nonsense.β
And fact-checkers hostile to Musk debunked the Starlink theory in November 2024. FactCheck.org quoted a Georgia official saying βNo Georgia election tabulation is connected to the internet, ever, not by Starlink or anything else.β PolitiFact rated the theory βPants on Fire.β Poynter traced the theory to Threads posts from despairing Democrats βamid a larger wave of election denial claims from liberals that mimic Republicansβ false claims about 2020 election fraud.β
And yet at no point in the over 5,000-word THR article does Zeitchik ever mention the fact-checks. Zeitchik did not respond to Publicβs request for comment, though THR did, as we describe below...

The future of transport
I've now done a total of 3 hours riding around in @Teslaβs Cybercab and spent a total of $92.51. That travel time would have cost me $200 with Ubers.
My longest ride has been ~40 minutes. I legitimately can't come up with any major complaints for FSD V15. None. Iβve spoken to a handful of other people here who say the same.
I didn't need to call rider support once. No weird maneuvers, jitteriness, or hesitation. I do think pickup and drop-off locations could use some tweaking (same for Model Y) as you need to walk a bit sometimes, but I think that will get better as V15 progresses.
Two things you surprisingly get used to very quickly are having no rearview mirror and no side mirrors.
For anyone else trying Cybercab for the first time, I encourage you to recline your seat all the way back and just close your eyes for a minute. Realizing that you can nap in the spot where a driver traditionally sat while the car drives you around with no steering wheel or pedals is a pretty surreal feeling.
The Sun is ~100% of solar system mass
Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth
The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System
Earth is basically a rounding error
We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers
And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second
Over 600 autonomous rocket landings so far
Most people donβt realize how insanely autonomous Falcon 9 already is
Once Falcon 9 lifts off, almost the entire mission is executed by the rocket itself
And the crazy part is
This autonomy does not depend on generative AI
It comes from brutally refined flight software, physics, sensors, control theory and advanced optimization.....improved across hundreds of missions
Falcon 9 autonomously handles:
β Liftoff and ascent through closed-loop guidance
β Stage separation at precisely calculated conditions
β Engine ignition and shutdown sequences
β Orbital insertion and payload deployment
β Booster boostback, entry and landing burns
β Real-time guidance corrections during descent
β Landing on a floating droneship hundreds of kilometers offshore
β Autonomous flight termination if mission safety rules are violated
A 70-meter orbital rocket launches itself, separates itself, puts a payload into orbit.....then the first stage falls back through the atmosphere and lands itself on a floating platform hundreds of kilometers offshore
Physics, software, and hardware engineered to absurd precision
Falcon 9 is one of the greatest autonomous machines humanity has ever built
And SpaceX made it look routine
