Tesla’s FSD in Amsterdam An incredible experience: 45 minutes along the canals, cyclists, unpredictable traffic and zero interventions. It felt smooth, confident, and surprisingly natural. Can’t wait to see wider adoption across Europe 🇪🇺 @teslaeurope @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt

@POL_OostBrabant Jullie zoeken naar een licht tot heftig getinte rokende man zonder snor, wimper & wenkbrauwen ?

Wie is deze brandstichter die hier een auto in brand steekt in Valkenswaard? Het vuur kreeg ook vat op de voortuin en de gevel van een huis waar een gezin met twee jonge kinderen aan de voorkant lag te slapen. Geef je tips door: politie.nl/gezocht/opspor…

Nice cover 🥰 Well deserved @Gwynne_Shotwell 👏👏🤩🤩

SpaceX President/COO Gwynne Shotwell in new interview: "We haven't taken our eyes off Mars. In fact, the first time I met @elonmusk over 24 years ago, it was all about Mars. He has not lost that passion. I love working for Elon."

Elon Musk on UFOs: I don’t get it. We have 100-megapixel cameras that can see your nose hairs, but all we get are pictures of fuzzy blobs. Can somebody take a shot of a UFO with an actual camera, for the love of God?

Elon Musk: “Hold on to your Tesla stock.” Because what’s coming isn’t just another car update—it’s an entirely new paradigm. From Optimus humanoid robots that could one day take care of your kids, walk your dog, and support elderly parents, to CyberCab scaling into mass production, to the Tesla Semi reshaping logistics—this isn’t one product, it’s a full ecosystem. Tesla is simultaneously building AI-powered humanoid labor, autonomous transport at scale, next-gen energy infrastructure through battery, lithium, and cathode production, and expanding global manufacturing across the US and Europe, with five factories ramping major production lines this year alone. And while most companies are focused on the next quarter, Musk is already talking about factories on the moon within 20 years.

Hypocrite

🚨 JUST IN: Miami officer cleared as justified in shooting after being struck by vehicle while directing traffic. Bodycam shows the driver hit the officer twice and kept moving before the officer fired through the windshield.

Nick Shirley is shocked when a California man says of Gavin Newsom, “I’d vote for him because he got me released, coming home from a life sentence… He didn’t hold me back.” Shirley: “What were you locked up for?” Man: “Murder, carjacking and robbery.”

Elon Musk just explained why the best engineers on Earth will never take your call. Three reasons. Most companies fail all three. Elon Musk: “State what’s the mission, what’s the problem we’re trying to solve? And just be clearly willing to pour a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it.” The top one percent of talent does not care about your office. Your perks. Your free lunches. Your branded hoodie. They care about one thing. Does this matter. If the answer takes more than one sentence to explain, they are already gone. Musk broke motivation into three layers. The first is the work itself. Musk: “Somebody’s got to look forward to coming to work in the morning. Are they enjoying the work itself intrinsically?” Not the paycheck. Not the title. The work. Solving problems most people cannot even frame correctly. Alongside people who make you sharper just by being in the room. If Monday morning feels like a sentence, no salary commutes it. The best people leave. Not eventually. Within months. The second is money. Musk: “They also feel like they will receive fair financial compensation. Like that the financial rewards are good and fair.” Not charity. Not below-market equity with a four-year cliff. Fair. One word. Most companies still get it wrong. The engineer who knows exactly what they generate does not negotiate. They compare. When the gap gets wide enough, they vanish. No conversation. No counteroffer window. Two-week notice on a Friday afternoon. You do not cap the ceiling of someone producing at that level. You match it. Or you fill the desk again in six months. The third is the one that separates real companies from forgettable ones. Musk: “For the best people in the world, they’ll want to know: is what they’re doing going to matter? If they spend 10 years doing this, will it make a difference to the world?” Ten years. The best engineers on the planet are running a calculation no recruiter has a spreadsheet for. If I give this company a decade of my life, does the world look different because I did? If the answer is no, they are not coming. No signing bonus changes that. No recruiter pitch rewrites it. No equity package papers over it. The mission has to be real. And the person at the top has to be visibly bleeding for it. Musk: “Be clearly willing to pour blood, sweat, and tears into it.” Talent watches the founder before they read the offer letter. If the person running the company is coasting, optimizing for exits, playing it safe, the best people sense it before the first interview ends. They do not want a manager. They want someone who has bet everything and would do it again tomorrow. Most companies post a job. The ones that land the best people alive offer something no job listing can contain. The work has to be the reward. The money has to be fair. The mission has to be worth a decade of someone’s only life. Miss one and the person you needed most never even opened your email.

The level of hypocrisy is outrageous.

Elon Musk unveiling the Tesla Model S 17 years ago. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in attendance as he was the Governor of California at the time.

Who is ready for FSD Europe?

Banger

Getting out of my @Tesla A lady just stopped me in the parking lot. Her: Excuse me, you know we’re supposed to be boycotting Tesla? Me: Why? Her: Ethics Me: Excuse me? Her: You know, Elon and all the stuff he’s doing? Me: What does that have to do with Tesla? Her: He owns it. Me: No he doesn’t, it’s a publicity traded company. Her: Oh (looking confused)… Me: Yeah, you can buy a share, I can buy a share. The Board of Directors represents us. Her: What as that term you used? Me: Publicly Traded Company Her: (types it into her phone). Thank you. (Realizing she has no idea what she’s talking about, quickly walks away) You can’t fix stupid! @elonmusk

One Man, Elon Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter, walked in carrying a sink, and fired 75% of the staff within a week, yet the company kept running He renamed it 𝕏, rewrote its content rules, and reinstated 65,000 banned accounts in 30 days No one had a plan It worked anyway
