The Starlink team is exploring ways to extend connectivity beyond our planet

"People get confused sometimes they think an economy is money. Money is a database for exchange of goods & services. Money doesn't have power in & of itself. The actual economy is goods & services" 一 Elon Musk

Can’t wait 🤗🤗🤗

Falcon lands for the 600th time!

Elon Musk on the rapid advancement of AI and robotics "I'm confident that if AI and robotics continue to advance which they are advancing very rapidly working will be optional, and people will have any goods and services that they want" AI and robotics are advancing so fast that, eventually, they could satisfy nearly every human need. At that point, abundance becomes the default, and the real question is no longer about production, but purpose "There is a limit people can only eat so much food. But I think if you can think of it, you can have it in the future"

"The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization. Basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future and to expand consciousness beyond Earth. Take SpaceX for example, that SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life & consciousness beyond Earth to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems. I think we should always view consciousness as we know it as precarious & delicate, because to the best of our knowledge, we don't know of life anywhere else." 一 Elon Musk

The Sun rounds up to 100% of energy in our solar system, even if Jupiter and all non-solar mass is burned

Q1 2026 Shareholder Update #quarterly-disclosure" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ir.tesla.com/#quarterly-dis… We continued to make meaningful progress on the build out of the infrastructure & AI software that underpins our Robotaxi & future robotics businesses in Q1. That meant commencing the ramp of new factories across AI compute, battery & battery materials, as well as preparing lines for start of production of Megapack 3, Cybercab & Tesla Semi. Demand for our vehicles continued to grow in APAC & South America markets, with a rebound of demand in EMEA markets & North America. As trade and geopolitics become more uncertain, we're further regionalizing and vertically integrating critical supply chains to ensure access to key materials & componentry in each region across vehicle, energy & AI. Automotive – Optimizing our vehicle product portfolio with an emphasis on vehicles designed for a fully autonomous future – More affordable trims of Model 3/Y & rollout of Model Y L in markets outside of China – Began deliveries of Cybertruck in the UAE – Volume production of Cybercab & Tesla Semi this year Energy Generation & Storage – Good progress with new Megafactory outside Houston (will produce Megapack 3 for Megablock). Start of production on track for later this year – We began meaningful customer deployments of Tesla’s first in-house designed solar panel produced at Giga New York Robotics – Preparations for our first large-scale Optimus factory will begin shortly in Q2. First-gen line designed for 1M robots/year will replace Model S/X lines in Fremont Factory, second-gen line is being prepared at Giga Texas (long-term annual capacity of 10M robots/year) AI Training Compute – Cortex 2 is now online & has started running training workloads – Also ramping on-site training infrastructure to ensure sufficient compute resources for AI products & services – Continuing with custom silicon development (Dojo 3) to reduce training cost over time Battery – Ramping new battery & material factories, including LFP cells in Nevada, cathode material & lithium refining in Texas – Battery vendor cell availability continues to be a limiting factor on ramping vehicle production, so we're working on initiatives to de-bottleneck, including using 4680 cells at Giga Berlin Other Supporting Infrastructure – Giga New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets (3x power density & 2x the number of stalls vs V3) – Alongside the ramp of Tesla Semi, we're deploying public Megachargers, including our first one in SoCal – Over 2,200 new Supercharger stalls, growing the network 19% YoY AI Software – FSD 14.3 launched in April – Upgraded Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage to better handle long-tail edge cases, enhanced the neural network vision encoder for sharper perception in low-vis scenarios & rewrote the AI compiler to accelerate model iterations & cut inference latency by 20% (faster reaction time for FSD!) This accelerates our efforts to eventually deploy unsupervised autonomy to both the Robotaxi fleet & customer owned vehicles – Digital Optimus: our next evolution of AI development. We're working on automating digital workloads, building an intelligence layer that will complement real-world AI in vehicles & robots AI Inference Compute – Expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor fabrication (coinciding with Robotaxi & Optimus ramps) = step towards ensuring sufficient & resilient chip supply – Partnership with SpaceX aims to build the largest chip fab ever, vertically integrating logic, memory & advanced packaging to allow for rapid iteration – Completed final chip design of AI5 (our next-gen inference processor) in April Automotive & Other Software – Rolled out Spring Update which includes a new Self-Driving app with tutorials & stats, "Hey Grok" wake word w/ location-based reminders, accent lights for blind spot alerts, updated Pet Mode & more Robotaxi – Paid Robotaxi miles doubled sequentially in Q1 – Cybercab will begin replacing Model Y fleet once in production & be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time – Continuing to lay the groundwork for expanding into new cities (testing, permitting), so we can launch quickly once ready. Safety remains top priority – Expanded unsupervised ops in Austin & launched in Dallas & Houston in April FSD Supervised – Record net new FSD subscriptions in Q1 – Received approval to deploy FSD Supervised in the Netherlands in April, clearing the path for potential approval in other EU countries – Continuing to make progress on approval in China Automotive Services – Safety Score v3.0 enables every mile driven with FSD Supervised engaged to receive a score of 100. Higher Safety Score over time = lower premiums for Tesla Insurance customers

Happy Earth Day! Thank you to our owners, employees & advocates for helping us build a world of amazing abundance 🌎❤️

Incredible return on investment! 💰💰💰

"You can make an AI go insane if you force it to believe things that aren't true - AI must be maximally truth-seeking" —Elon Musk

Yeah

Sam Altman cannot be trusted. • The OpenAI board fired him because he was not always honest with them. They said he should not control powerful AI. • A major report talked to over 100 people and saw secret papers. It says he has almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the truth. People who worked with him say he lies easily but still wants everyone to like him. • Top scientist Ilya made 70 pages of notes before the firing. They showed Sam was not honest with the team and board about safety rules. • He changed OpenAI from a nonprofit that Elon helped start to a for profit money making business. It was meant to be open for everyone with no personal gain. • He trained OpenAI on Twitter data without permission. • He keeps lying and shows a lack of transparency. • He poached xAI staff and took sensitive info illegally. • He dropped core safety promises to race for growth and money. Old team members say his big expensive AI projects around the world are too dangerous. • An ex OpenAI board member flat out called him a liar. This is not just talk. It is what the people closest to him said and what the facts show. When the folks who worked with him say he cannot be trusted.

This is why OpenAI was created

When violence is categorized accurately, this unequivocally true. You know who the bad guys are, because they’re the ones who want censorship of free speech.

OpenAi bait-and-switched Elon, pretending to a non-profit mission to save humanity until it pocketed his donations. Elon should win.

South Korean reporter after experiencing @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the country for the first time: "It flawlessly performed all tasks, including obeying traffic signals, staying in lanes, adhering to speed limits, merging, and changing directions. I felt no anxiety or frustration. Tesla’s FSD capabilities surpassed expectations. Even in heavily congested urban roads, no human intervention was needed. While driving in the right lane on a four-lane road, the vehicle smoothly merged into the left lane when it detected a parked delivery truck ahead. After passing the truck, it returned to the right lane. When making a right turn, it stopped precisely at the crosswalk. It felt as though the vehicle followed traffic laws more accurately than humans."

Actually Smart Summon now reacts a lot faster
