@LimitingThe Domestic or international? Couldn't you lease one at destination?

I wonder how much a plane ticket for your Optimus robot is going to cost. If I go traveling, I'd want to bring it with me. I imagine it would be considered special luggage and have $100 fee.

@SawyerMerritt @yunta_tsai What's worse is that she somehow got to her lofty position without being able to empathize that this would obviously look biased. Or perhaps she is so used to getting her way in contravention of the laws she is supposed to uphold that she simply thought it wouldn't matter

@yunta_tsai Her bias is clear. It was clear in 2024 when she wrote “Was the richest person in the world overpaid?” Recusal is a must.

NEWS: Elon Musk and his lawyers are demanding Delaware judge Kathaleen McCormick step aside from a high-stakes Tesla case after she allegedly “supported” a LinkedIn post mocking a $2 billion verdict against him in a separate California case. McCormick was the judge who ruled against Elon in his big $56 billion pay package case in Delaware. The complaint includes a screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Harry Plotkin, a Southern California-based jury consultant who worked with the legal team that sued Musk for securities fraud in San Francisco federal court. “Thanks $2 billion for your help in this trial. It was a pleasure working against you. Congratulations to the trial team at Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP and Bottini Law for standing up for the little guy against the richest man in the world,” Plotkin wrote on LinkedIn. The filing alleges the post was promoted by McCormick’s account, with a banner above it reading: “Katie McCormick supports this.” McCormick has denied intentionally endorsing the post, claiming she was unaware of the interaction until LinkedIn notified her she had used the heart-in-hand “support” icon. “I either did not click the ‘support’ icon at all, or I did so accidentally. I do not believe that I did it accidentally,” she wrote in a letter to attorneys. nypost.com/2026/03/25/bus…

Rumored? Does NOBODY follow my research?

@AdamLowisz @elonmusk @ApoStructura I'm super keen to see Starship decrease the cost of space travel, but I have doubts about earth-based travel. These rockets send vibrations for miles and miles in each direction on launch. How would they mitigate that? Or do they have to be far away from urban centers?

@elonmusk @ApoStructura Starship launches are going to become as routine as taking a flight in the near future. You'll be able to take a Starship rocket from Chicago to Tokyo in an hour for lunch and be back in time for dinner.

@ApoStructura That is the right way to look at it

@thepondering_ @nickshirleyy He is quite literally asking you to help expose fraud. You go after what you want and he can go after the extremely low hanging fruit he keeps finding.

@nickshirleyy Sooo why are you conveniently ignoring all the waste, fraud, and abuse coming from Trump and your own party? 🤔

yo where nick shirley at

@danWpriestley @SawyerMerritt Hi Dan, What's the engineering challenge that prevented a fully steer-by-wire system on a truck?

@SawyerMerritt Lots of kick ass engineering from the Tesla team

Tesla's @danWpriestley has revealed more information abbot the redesigned Tesla Semi: • Now uses fully electric steering assist (vs hydraulic before) • Uses beefed up Cybertruck actuators • 48 volt architecture • 4680 cells, designed to last 1M miles via Jay Leno's Garage

@nickdothutton @daniel9990_ @mr_james_c The Greater Manchester area (larger) uses 5gw. World's biggest battery = 7gwh, albeit a transmission rate of 1.3gw. So there's enough capacity there to fuel an area larger than the one you mentioned for 1.5 hours or 26% of it for 5.5 hours. So 1400x more than you claimed

The current largest battery on earth would power Manchester for about 3.5 seconds, if you could discharge it that quickly without vaporising the conductors, which you could not. Batteries for grid synchronisation, or small home use/time shifting. If suitable lake/dam storage is not available or cannot be created, then it may be worth examining RWE's Regenesys Energy again. An idea from the past, abandoned due to economics of the day.

The battery capacity to provide Britain with 2 weeks of electricity during winter would cost more than £2tn. Which is 20x the cost of building enough nuclear power stations to provide all the UK's electricity needs.

@mr_james_c @philroberts Sorry are you assuming we've closed all our nuclear stations (when the reality is we are building them) the sun disappears from the sky and wind ceases to exist, our interconnectors with France and Norway disappear and we have zero gas plants on standby?

@philroberts Sorry friend, Dunkelflautes can last weeks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelfla…

Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

NEWS: Elon Musk's @boringcompany has announced that the company will be building three tunnels for free. Locations & tunnel purpose: • NOLA Loop: New Orleans (passenger transport via vehicles) • Ravens Loop: Baltimore (passenger transport via vehicles) • University Hills Loop: Dallas (passenger transport via vehicles) The Boring Company will pay to build all three, pending due diligence and feasibility, as well as two additional tunnels: Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN) and Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX), if those last two are feasible and can get approved.

@SteadtlerA58435 @Dkirtley @Helion_Energy Time for people to distance themselves before his sisters case ends up in court.

@Dkirtley @Helion_Energy Good for Helion. You don't want to be known as "Sam Altman's Helion" given his reputation.

Sam Altman is stepping down from Helion’s Board of Directors. This decision enables Helion and OpenAI to explore future partnerships to bring zero-carbon, safe electricity to the world, which Helion is perfectly poised to deliver. Sam has played an integral role in Helion’s development; I am extremely grateful for his commitment to Helion since he joined our board in 2015. He has pushed me and the Helion team to dream big, build with urgency, and focus on the thing that matters most: deploying fusion for our customers as quickly as possible to fully satisfy the world’s need for clean and abundant energy. Fusion would not be where it is today if it were not for Sam’s support over the last decade. Sam, thank you for your vision, your encouragement, and your commitment to Helion. I look forward to working with you in this new capacity.

@lucagrecoita I would have thought the demand would be there if there is a 5% efficiency boost as that delivers cost/benefits across the rest of the vehicle

@RecursiveChange wheels

Magnesium thixomodled wheels weigh 35% less than aluminum - and the efficiency gain goes beyond weight alone 💡 The 20" cast aluminum wheels on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y weigh 13 kg each. Magnesium wheels of the same size weigh approximately 8 to 8.5 kg. That's a 5 kg saving per wheel - 20 kg total across four wheels. But here's what makes the difference disproportionate. The biggest impact isn't total vehicle mass. It's rotational inertia. Lighter wheels require less energy from the motors to spin, which directly improves efficiency and range. A Tesla Owners Silicon Valley experiment demonstrated approximately 5% vehicle efficiency increase from this 20 kg wheel savings alone - disproportionate to the mass reduction because of the rotational inertia effect. The comparison: -> Aluminum wheel: 13 kg each, 52 kg total -> Magnesium wheel: ~8.5 kg each, ~34 kg total -> Weight savings: 18-20 kg across four wheels -> Efficiency gain: ~5% (amplified by rotational inertia) The cheapest way to improve an EV's range isn't a bigger battery. It might be lighter wheels. The market for magnesium thixomolded wheels is already being built in China. The West hasn't started.

@MarcusHouse If this was true their CEO would have quit ULA and went to work at Blue origin….

@EnleashedT17667 Are you suggesting more or less? This feels like a provocative reduction of your lengthy PHD thesis

Why should we pay wind and solar the same price as the price of gas?

@kasumiga1 @nothingburger89 @TheLaurenChen Yeah the skinny one was equally interesting. People opening a bag of crisps, eating a couple of crisps before binning the rest and wondering why they were so thin after eating crisps.

@nothingburger89 @TheLaurenChen Is that current? I saw a Brit show yrs ago that did similar. But also thin people who over estimated their intake.

At one point in college, I had an obese roommate. After a few weeks, she complained about how lucky I was to be thin, since I ate more than her. The thing is, however, that I absolutely did not eat more than her, in terms of calories or just amount of food. She put ranch on everything. 600 calorie drinks. Endless snacking. Maybe my plate was more full than hers at dinner, but it was obvious tp everyone but her that she was consuming more throughout the day. I'm sorry, but after multiple instances of this happening with other overweight people, I just don't trust when someone heavy insists they're in caloric deficit. Maybe some people lose weight faster than others. For sure. But it's simple science that if calories out exceed calories in, you WILL lose weight.

It’s happening and I really don’t get the push against cleaner air, more secure and cheaper energy .. unless of course there are powerful lobbies paying to resist.
