NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: Inside @anduriltech’s race to build Fury, America’s first autonomous fighter jet. On October 31, last year, a gunmetal-colored, bullet-shaped object streaked across the skies of the California high desert under the careful watch of the U.S. Air Force. It took off without a pilot. It flew only by the guidance of software, takeoff triggered by the press of a single button. That flight was the culmination of years — decades, even — of American experiments with unmanned fighter jets. Air Force officials long imagined pairing pilots with autonomous systems to amplify their combat power. But the technology didn’t exist... until now. For Pirate Wires, @jackbeyrer delivers the complete story of how Fury, an AI-powered unmanned fighter jet, was built. He also details what’s next: producing an entire fleet of Furies capable of defending America. The future of American deterrence has arrived. Read the full story 👇

@elonmusk Kinda like the drug and recovery business in communities: OD➡️Narcan➡️OD➡️Narcan➡️OD
The NGOs are cashing in and keeping the host alive just enough.

Incentives drive outcomes
Tesla Owners Silicon Valley@teslaownersSV
Elon Musk: “The homeless industrial complex is really dark… The network of NGOs should be called, the drug zombie farmers… The ‘charities’ get money proportionate to the number of ‘homeless’… so their incentive structure is to maximize the number…”

@Aviation_Intel The future might be drone recovery. Can’t believe no one, not even @anduriltech, has looked into it. It wouldn't be difficult to create a utility rescue drone with an MTOW of 500 lbs to 2 tons. Silent, fast, and no fuss.
In and out.

There is this perception that CSAR is just a rotary-wing thing. You cannot haul Little Birds and larger vehicles with a CV-22 let alone an HH-60W or MH-60. This is a forceable entry scenario. There are endless factors that go into the force mix and operational plan for a mission like this. You can't always just winch the guy out with a helo etc. You may not know exactly where the target even is.
English
Yes you do. Literally the damn mission set for this airframe and the exact use case and operational plan they train for with the exact assets they train with.

⛔️Let me repeat this again, You don't do a rescue operation of one pilot with two C-130s loaded with tens of military troops‼️

The fastest energy transition in human history is happening right now
In 2015, solar generated 256 TWh globally
Today it’s over 2,700 TWh. Solar met 83% of all new electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025 alone
Renewables just overtook coal as the world’s #1 electricity source
And we’re still just getting started
"Solar electricity will become by far the biggest source of power for civilization” — Elon Musk
The Sun sends Earth enough energy in 1 hour to power all of humanity for a full year. One year of sunlight contains more energy than every oil well, coal mine, and gas field on Earth - combined
We are capturing a fraction of a fraction of that
The only thing standing between us and energy abundance is the speed at which we choose to build
We are not in an energy shortage
We are in an urgency shortage

@CStewart2424 @SteveDilworth2 @megynkelly In hindsight.
What would be your response if this were the headline this morning: “Dozens of Special Forces Killed and Over 120 captured in Daring Nighttime Rescue Attempt”
English
English
@FloppingAces @michaeldweiss What if we lost 50 and another two dozen or so captured alive?
English
Worth every f*cking penny. We burned hardware to bring an American home and deny the mullahs a propaganda trophy. A captured U.S. WSO would’ve been paraded on TV, tortured, exploited for intel, and used for humiliation theater. Instead, our guys flew into hell, got him out, and came home with zero U.S. fatalities. That’s what a country does for its own. Meanwhile blue states blow fortunes on fraud rackets and call it compassion. I’ll take $300 million to save an American warfighter over one more dime for parasites and scammers. Absolute heroes.
English
Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official:
"The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds.
"One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

@michaeldweiss Could’ve been done with only two little birds at night. Smaller the better! No need for more assets as more mishaps could happen.

@60Minutes I am ordering you to get into the healthcare business
@elonmusk! Americans are hurting. $100 a month covers the basics 80/20.

@_D_A_TT @megynkelly I’m aware of this system. Things have gotten much better but the risk is still there. The pilots are trained to evade and study the terrain ahead of time in case they fall behind enemy lines. I don’t like the lack of coordination/comms by both pilots. Shouldn’t have been lost.
English
@CatballsOO @megynkelly No, I’ll disagree.
The physical body tracking/vital signs tracking of current downed U.S. Military pilots/ground personnel is unmatched.

Tesla’s Supercharger network just hit a massive new scale - 80,000+ active stalls worldwide
It took over a decade to build the first 40,000
Now Tesla just doubled it in less than four years
The scale is wild. In Q1 2026 alone:
• 1.8 TWh of energy delivered
• 53 million individual charging sessions completed
• Network wait times dropped to just <1%
Tesla is also rapidly rolling out the new V4 Superchargers, capable of true 500 kW speeds
The best part is these are not just for Teslas - Ford, GM, Rivian, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, and nearly every major EV brand now let their drivers use the Tesla superchargers because of the extreme reliability and massive network Tesla offers
Tesla quietly built the entire EV charging ecosystem, and now legacy automakers struggle to sell cars without it - they are heavily relying on Tesla’s massive network to make their vehicles truly viable on the road and give customers the confidence to buy their cars

@BrianB1350243 @joe_socket2me @megynkelly There's a difference between operations and training. I wouldn't want you to be anywhere near me in battle. Say hi to your bf for me.
English
@CatballsOO @joe_socket2me @megynkelly Here is a shocker for you, all CSAR operations are put together last minute. Tell me you are a dumbfuck with no clue how things work without telling me. I wonder what 7 years of my career was spent doing? 🤔 the only thing sloppy here is your asshole from pleasuring your step dad
English
@joe_socket2me @megynkelly Not the way they pulled it off. It was very sloppy. The SF community are not studying the country like we did Iraq. Looks like it was all put together at the last moment. Have to prepare for this everyday.
English
@CatballsOO @megynkelly Really! You don't give much credit or ingenuity of the US Special Forces, CIA and rescue forces. The 2nd aviator WAS rescued!
English
@megynkelly Meg, your fktard base are playing Monday morning QBs. While I’m glad the soldier is safe, this situation could easily happen again w/ a worse outcome. I stand by my point: he was heading the wrong way, and that’s sometimes necessary to reach higher ground

@nicksortor Confirmed. We got very lucky w/ this one. Looks they ejected close to the coastline but he journeyed north/northeast from where he was shot down. If this was central Iran, would've been a different story. People are celebrating like the hostilities are over. IT could happen again
English
@elonmusk @matteopelleg This is why it’s smart to wait and buy used. It will get to a point where a 2021 and older Tesla models will sell for less than $10k.

Buying a Tesla in 2026 is like buying an iphone in 2010
You know eventually everyone will get one
English
@piersmorgan We took massive risk that could’ve gone south, similar to Operation Red Wings (2005), which two Chinooks were shot down back to back by a 14-year-old Afghan, but I guess it was worth it. Glad the WSO safe, of course, and we will learn from this.
English
The more I read about the US mission to rescue their 2nd downed airman in Iran, the more astounding it is.
Kudos to the CIA, SEAL Team 6, and all the others involved in finding their man & getting him out. And to him, for incredible guts & tenacity.

“LA’s Tesla Diner is so dead, even the protestors gave up”
English
The Tesla Diner is obviously not something that matters financially to Tesla, but it is one of those small delights that bring joy to life
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
Positive Tesla Diner review from Forbes' Brooke Crothers: "On Saturday, the Tesla Diner was busy if not packed at times. And obviously not failing, though some blogs and reports want you desperately to believe otherwise. Contrary to all these eatery blogs and car blogs that say the Tesla Diner is a flop, a failure, a disaster, that is not true, as so many things that are often written about Tesla. There are car blogs that devote all their time to taking down Tesla. I went to the Diner on Friday April 3 and Saturday April 4. I estimate that on both days 90+ percent of the chargers (of the 80 Superchargers) were being used. By that metric alone, the Diner is a success. Yes, I’ve been inside the Diner when it’s slow. But as a Supercharger location with the option to grab a snack it’s a success. It seems that the ulterior motive of some “reviews” is to bash Elon Musk and tell you what a bad, bad man he is. That doesn’t give the reader an honest evaluation of the Tesla Diner as a great charging destination, which, again, is its primary purpose for the vast majority of visitors. It's extremely clean. If you want to come to a pristine place to eat, the Tesla Diner is it."
