Feedback alert: We all have to learn to read. Really. A primer... 1. When @barronsonline tells you what Wall Street thinks, it's what Wall Street thinks, not us. As an investor, I want to know multiple views, which is why we write (and people read) stories about analyst ratings. 2. When stocks move a lot and we write why it isn't an endorsement or a pan. It's explanatory. I.e. $TSLA stock up 9 days straight for a, b, and c. That's quite a streak and worth noting. 3. A sort of trading observation (in 2021 by the way) isn't a long-term endorsement of a stock. 4. We do pick and pan stocks. Those stories are our opinion about specific companies. 5. Stocks go up over a long period of time. Only a couple of times in U.S. history did stocks NOT gain on a 10-year rolling basis (this is not inflation-adjusted). It pays to be long for a long time. 6. We don't tell you how to construct a portfolio. I would, personally, never have 100% of my wealth in one stock. I view that as gambling. If confused ask a financial advisor.

Had a lovely dinner last night with @POTUS and @FLOTUS. 2026 is going to be amazing!

There are now at least 7 @Tesla Cybercabs testing on public roads in Austin and the Bay Area. Source: robotaxitracker.com/vehicles?area=…

Starlink Direct to Cell operates the largest satellite-to-mobile constellation in the world, delivering data, voice, video and messaging to mobile dead zones across 5 continents. Since first activating service earlier this year, more than 8M people and counting have relied on Starlink Direct to Cell to stay connected when terrestrial service is unavailable → starlink.com/direct-to-cell

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk Exciting! Phase 1 (targeting Q1 2026): First Airport rides with the vehicles traveling through Loop tunnels and surfacing just north of Airport. Phase 2 (TBD): Vehicles surface at Loop Station at Airport terminals. reviewjournal.com/local/traffic/…

@LewisWithrow5 @SawyerMerritt I’ve tried to warn them and even offered to license Tesla FSD, but they don’t want it! Crazy … When legacy auto does occasionally reach out, they tepidly discuss implementing FSD for a tiny program in 5 years with unworkable requirements for Tesla, so pointless. 🤷‍♂️ 🦕 🦕

Today marks an incredible milestone as Ukraine becomes the first European country to make @Starlink Direct to Cell available to customers!! The satellite-to-mobile service is powering life-saving connectivity when and where people need it most - during prolonged blackouts or in areas where terrestrial networks are often damaged. Looking forward to connecting more people in Europe with our next-generation capabilities!

✨Always looking to the sky for inspiration. ✨ Ahead of the 777-9 dazzling in the flying display at the #DubaiAirshow, our crew captured the northern lights from 39,000 feet over Greenland.

The #777X took the spotlight at #DubaiAirshow2025! ✈️😍 With its impressive power, advanced wing design, and expert piloting throughout the display, the aircraft showed what the future of widebody flight looks like. Coverage by @roxavgeek | @DubaiAirshow #DAS25 #777X #GE9X

Here is Ron Baron's full interview with @elonmusk at the annual Baron Investment Conference. They talk about Tesla, Optimus, Tesla's AI5 chip, Neuralink, xAI, Grok 5, FSD, buying Twitter, AI, Tesla maybe building its own chip fab, their friendship and more. I've cut out the waiting period at the beginning of the stream.

It’s official: Ontario’s new advertising campaign in the U.S. has launched.  Using every tool we have, we’ll never stop making the case against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together. Watch our new ad.

“Musk is well-known for his aggressive timelines for new products,” said Zacks Investment Research stock strategist @andrewrocco1. “If Musk can convince investors that future product road maps are still on track, investors will reward him.” Reporting by @DowJonesAl via @barronsonline. barrons.com/articles/tesla…

Oil prices rise sharply as the U.S. sanctions two major Russian oil companies. I asked @DowJonesAL about where the market is headed next. Here’s what he told me:

ISS once again completely misses fundamental points of investing and governance. They recommended against compensation that shareholders have voted on twice before (and that Elon has already earned), as well as the 2025 CEO Performance Award (where Elon receives nothing unless shareholders win big). ISS’s unfounded and nonsensical recommendation against Ira proves how disconnected from reality they are. As Tesla’s longest-tenured independent director, Ira has created a governance framework that has allowed Tesla to achieve an astonishing TSR increase of ~39,000% during his tenure. He embodies our high-engagement Board – with hands-on leadership + effective governance with a focus on long-term value. It’s easy for ISS to tell others how to vote when they have nothing on the line. Vote with Tesla on ALL proposals.

Happy birthday, Bill Boeing! 🎂 From a daring idea, to an industry that connects the globe, William E. Boeing's legacy keeps all of #TeamBoeing moving forward. Here's to the spirit of innovation — and the engineers who make it fly. ✈️ #AviationHistory

On behalf of the Department of War, we extend our deepest gratitude to Admiral Alvin Holsey for his more than 37 years of distinguished service to our nation as he plans to retire at year's end. A native of Fort Valley, Georgia, Admiral Holsey has exemplified the highest standards of naval leadership since his commissioning through the NROTC program at Morehouse College in 1988. Throughout his career—from commanding helicopter squadrons to leading Carrier Strike Group One and standing up the International Maritime Security Construct—Admiral Holsey has demonstrated unwavering commitment to mission, people, and nation. His tenure as Military Deputy Commander and now Commander of United States Southern Command reflects a legacy of operational excellence and strategic vision. The Department thanks Admiral Holsey for his decades of service to our country, and we wish him and his family continued success and fulfillment in the years ahead.
