By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars. A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover. Dig into the details: go.nasa.gov/46AGzG5

@rawsalerts The concept of “agreeing” to a congressional subpoena is very funny to me

🚨#BREAKING: Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

For quality of life, it is better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong, rather than a pessimist and right

@wholemars Dead to rights lmao

Wow

Starlink is providing free broadband service to the people of Venezuela through February 3, ensuring continued connectivity.

Venezolanos, llegó la hora de la libertad.

A Tesla with no safety monitor in the car and me sitting in the passenger seat took me all around Austin on Sunday with perfect driving

Just set a new PR in the lab

@GoingBallistic5 MCP in the thumb, I should add

@GoingBallistic5 Agreed, adding extension makes sense. They could also be adding ABB/ADD to the MCP. A slight redesign there might make the CMC more reliable, if they were having issues with that.

Elon misspoke about 100 actuators and meant 50 total in forearms and hands, not the entire body Draw no conclusions about new structural actuator count The V2.5 forearm currently has 19 actuators, 2 for wrist, 17 for digits So they are likely adding 5 or 6 actuators 🧵

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make. Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing. However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock. If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful. And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.

@sentdefender Purges his posts but not his blocks. Respect his commitment at least 😂

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

BREAKING: Tesla has released its 2025 proxy, and it includes an unprecedented $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk (if he meets all objectives). If Elons wants to receive the full award, he will need to create $7.5 trillion in shareholder value, making @Tesla an $8.5 trillion company. The plan spans 10 years. The additional shares Elon could receive would push his stake in Tesla to at least 25%. There are 12 tranches, with each worth about 1% of the company. The first one would come at a $2 trillion market cap. To capture each tranche, Elon not only has to meet a market cap milestone, but one of the operation milestones as well. Meaning if Elon doesn't deliver, he gets paid nothing, making this a very shareholder friendly one. Elon will have to hold the new shares after he receives them for 7.5 years. Tesla: "The 2025 CEO Performance Award similarly challenges Elon to again meet a series of even more aspirational goals, including operational milestones focused on reaching Adjusted EBITDA targets (thresholds that are up to 28 times higher than the 2018 CEO Performance Award’s top Adjusted EBITDA milestone) and rolling out new or expanded product offerings (including 1 million Robotaxis in commercial operation and delivery of 1 million AI Bots), all while growing the company’s market capitalization by trillions of dollars."

@sama Ur not exactly helping bro 💀

i never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now

@99_opinions @SpaceX @dwisecinema This is a different test site

@EMTSLA @SpaceX @dwisecinema I guess there goes those giant mechanical arms

On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for. Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials. There are no hazards to residents in surrounding communities, and we ask that individuals do not attempt to approach the area while safing operations continue
