@teslayoda Interesting. If the cheapest R2 comes at around $50000, probably with a very slim margin. How are they going to make money on this deal?

Two things worth noting: 1. $1.25B ÷ 50,000 = $25,000 — the cost per robotaxi. 2. Tesla produces ~2M robotaxi-capable vehicles per year.

Had a wonderful time unveiling the Torso 3 at the Abundance Summit this week! Video coming soon.

@wholemars He should invite you to visit his company. Again.

You’d have to be an absolute fucking moron to invest in Trevor Milton’s new company You’d have to be an even bigger moron to ride in his “autonomous jet”

@niccruzpatane @wholemars @jefferinc Does it come with the Donut Solid State battery? If yes I will take two.

@wholemars @jefferinc "Production late 2026" lol

This new company called Tensor Auto is claiming they’re making the first Level 4 autonomous vehicle that you can personally own. It costs $200,000. 😂 • 37 Cameras • 5 LiDAR Sensors • 11 Radar Units • 22 Microphones • 10 Ultrasonic Sensors • 8 Water-Level Sensors

@Kyrannio 😅

He’s just like me fr

Prototypes are impressive, and they're the starting line, production at scale is the hard part

Researchers trained a humanoid robot to play tennis using only 5 hours of motion capture data The robot can now sustain multi-shot rallies with human players, hitting balls traveling >15 m/s with a ~90% success rate AlphaGo for every sport is coming

The next era just joined the starting lineup. 🏀 @elonmusk

@paulo_kombucha Awesome. 😍

Clippy is back. This time he's actually useful He watches your Claude Code agents, catches permissions, and jumps you to the right terminal

We just raised $165M to end robotics demos and deploy the world's first autonomous home robots into households this year.

@davidpattersonx The question is: how much time do we have left?

Macrohard will replace entire companies doing information work. Optimus humanoid robots will replace all physical work. Both will be guided by Grok AGI.

Interesting.

@JCChristopher I like this part: "So I am going to keep turning my earnings into my TSLA investment" 😏

I'm starting to realize that even with all the high-powered Ai that Uber has to understand as much as they can about rider psychology and driver psychology, they don't actually truly understand the vast majority of passengers that use their app. Or if they do, they are purposely characterizing to others as something different than reality. Otherwise, how is it that very smart people who understand Ai much better than I do, are coming away from interviews with Uber executives thinking human-driven ride share is going to be around 10-15 years from now. And/or that Uber will just magically transform it's Ai algorithm from one that is entirely focused on human behavior, human weaknesses and the incentives that drive us; to one simply focused on just logistics and keep the same margins. Uber does a tremendous job of creating alpha and margin from the human weaknesses and psychoses shared by both drivers and riders. This alpha completely disappears with autonomy. As an Uber driver with 2,100 trips under my belt and a perfect 5.0 rating from my passengers, I am very proud of the service I have provided to my passengers. I have had some wonderful conversations, and even created some lasting relationships with some of them. But I can also say unequivocally that all of that will be worth about as much as a pot of piss in a world of rides done at $1/mile and less. And not even a big pot of piss, more like a gatorade bottle. Passengers of ride share (and I mean REAL riders, not any of you, the bougie well to do folks on X trying to keep up with Ai, but folks who actually really use rideshare) are some of the most price sensitive people I have ever met. They are all using multiple apps to get the lowest fare. Period. So it's interesting to see these posts from really smart people about how Uber is going to do this or that, and how it's going to be an aggregator of Tesla, Google and others. But no, that's not going to happen. It's not going to stand a chance. It just won't. There will definitely be multiple AV ride share companies, no doubt about that. But Tesla has already won this, based on the simple facts of the vertical integration from Tesla to own the entire stack from manufacturing line to passenger, and the actual REAL desires of the vast majority of human passengers. I LOVE being an Uber driver. I love talking to my passengers! And I will keep doing it until human driven ride share no longer exists in my home state of Texas. But my days of doing it are not long, and I know that, even as folks with 50 more IQ points than me haven't yet figured it out. So I am going to keep turning my earnings into my TSLA investment, and I am going to enjoy saying "hey" to more passengers while I still can, with a smile on my face and the best customer service they will ever have in an Uber. All love! ❤️

Clone CEO @dhanushisrad has a clear timeline: first humanoids walking within approx. 1 year, on SALE by 2028. This is happening NOW.

Tesla Optimus v2.5 😍

Beautiful. 🤩

@tesla_rumors I can't believe the Tesla Optimus Gen 3 reveal would take place outside the US. It's highly unlikely. That would be a surprise.

🚨 $TSLA OPTIMUS GEN 3 SET TO DEBUT AT AWE 2026 IN SHANGHAI 🇨🇳 The Tesla Gen 3 is scheduled to make its appearance at the AWE 2026 exhibition in Shanghai on March 12.

This is amazing! The world of 'Altered Carbon' is coming.

The growth of Starbase over the last decade, from nothing to arguably the world's premiere rocket factory, is remarkable. This image of V3 rolling out is gorgeous.
