Just another job humans can do and AI cannot.
Good luck Optimus 😂 😂

Elon Musk: Tesla has a lot of products coming out, so there’s a lot of potential. From scaling up battery cell production to expanding Model Y—especially as supervised Full Self-Driving gets closer—Tesla isn’t slowing down. The next major leap could be the CyberCab, but that’s just the start. With Optimus and the Tesla Semi also in play, the roadmap is stacked with game-changing bets.
And if everything aligns—support from authorities, strong demand, and execution—Giga Berlin could evolve into the largest factory complex in Europe. That’s not just growth, that’s domination at an industrial scale.
The future Musk is pointing to isn’t incremental—it’s aggressive, multi-product, and global.

@TeslaBoomerMama I absolutely have no idea why this merger idea has suddenly become the rage. Two great companies with some overlap but different strategic interests. Best to leave them alone.

I am not a SpaceX investor and anyone commenting should please disclose whether they are.
As a Tesla investor, this chart alone tells me that a premium in a hypothetical acquisition by SpaceX would be the right thing to do. And I will put every effort in to pass that vote.
(red dot = current IPO rumors)
Larry Goldberg@TeslaLarry
I have no idea why Tesla should be at a premium, since both companies would be public, so market value is well established. This is a fatal flaw in your plan.

Someone explain this to me like I’m a 5 year old. Why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons, but Iran can’t have them?

@OverlyTrev Wrong. It’s 1-2 unsupervised at any given time in a narrow area. The stat of robotaxi tracker website is misleading. The 8 vehicles are with distinct license plates. Also why not expand the vehicles and geographic area. Waiting for Godot. FWIW I am the biggest fan of Elon.

@SteveAlan321 10 months ago they had 11 cars on a small geofenced area on V13 in Austin.
Now they have V14 and a fleet of around 400 between Austin and Bay Area with 8 unsupervised model Y’s. Cybercab started production in less than a month.
English
It’s kind of funny, do they believe this is revolutionary, that they’re the first to think about a two door fully driverless vehicle?
This Lucid is a concept, might come true one day.
The Cybercab is Reality and starts production in less than a month.
Lucid Motors@LucidMotors
Always thinking about what comes next. Our two-seat robotaxi concept imagines a future of mobility that is sustainable, comfortable, safe, and accessible for all.

The Berlin Wall created the most brutal controlled experiment in human history: identical people, split by ideology, watched for 41 years to see which system would prevail. West Germans embraced market economics while East Germans suffered under socialist central planning. The results? Devastating. By 1989, East German GDP per capita sat at roughly 30% of West Germany's level. East Germans consumed 40% fewer calories, owned cars at one-tenth the rate, and waited 12 years for a telephone connection. Meanwhile, their western cousins enjoyed rising living standards, technological innovation, and personal freedom that made West Germany an economic powerhouse. But the socialists had excuses ready. "East Germany started from a worse position after the war," they claimed. Bullshit. Both regions faced identical devastation in 1945. The Soviets actually stripped more industrial equipment from their zone (roughly $10 billion worth), yet this affected rural areas less than urban centers. And East Germany possessed abundant natural resources like lignite coal and uranium that should have provided economic advantages. The real difference? Property rights, price signals, and entrepreneurship versus state ownership, price controls, and bureaucratic allocation. West Germans could start businesses, invest capital, and respond to consumer demands. East Germans filled quotas set by party officials who had never run so much as a lemonade stand. You can't coordinate an economy through committee meetings and five-year plans when prices tell you nothing about real supply and demand. East Germans voted with their feet—2.7 million fled west before the Communists built their wall in 1961. After reunification, investigators found Stasi files on one-third of the population. When you need secret police watching every third citizen, your economic system has already failed.

April will come and go, but it looks like there will be no progress on unsupervised robotaxis, and nothing significant seems to be happening on the Cybercab front.
Elon Time. Sigh.

Watch Monday be fluorescent GREEN in the stock market and oil drops into the $80s. 👀

@TeslaBoomerMama Honestly this is a solution looking for a problem. Both great companies. Leave them alone. Too complex to merge them.
English
@Teslaconomics What’s wrong with you. Not one product in this collage has hit the market.
English
Tesla is hands down the most exciting company in the world. No other company makes me this excited about the future. It’s a once-in-a-generation company.
English
@SteveAlan321 "I refuse to listen..." is usually a suboptimal approach.
English
@alex_avoigt It’s been a year and what 2-3 unsupervised in a small area in Austin? Waiting for Godot

Tesla is preparing to launch Robotaxi services in 18 🇺🇸 U.S. cities, and that's just the very early beginning.
It won't be long before the world witnesses the exponential growth of Tesla's Robotaxi services in more countries too.
Tesla has solved fully autonomous driving and is now implementing it wherever regulators permit.
Since it has proven significantly safer than human drivers, and more and more states and countries are allowing it, the arguments against it are irrational and based on emotions and political considerations rather than rational assessments of safety.
Ming@tslaming
GOOD NEWS 🇺🇸 Tesla has added 4 new cities and 3 new states (including D.C.) to the latest hiring list for the Robotaxi service expansion 🔥 🚖 Washington, District of Columbia 🆕 🚖 San Diego, California 🚖 Brooklyn Park, Minnesota 🆕 🚖 Aurora, Colorado 🆕 Now, the list has covered 18 cities and 12 states (including D.C.) 🆒

@TeslaXplored And honestly this SpaceX merger talk is not helping. One is a defense stock with government contracts and secrets. Other is a consumer brand. Merger is almost impossible.
English
@elonmusk @elonmusk @aelluswamy when will you have hundreds of unsupervised robot taxis at least in Austin?
English
Model Y is the best-selling car of any kind in the world!
Mason@webdevMason
We just got a 7-seat model Y, and we're gonna make that itty bitty third row work for us by hook or by crook because **** I love this car Full self-driving is the first real life changing quality of life improvement I've gotten from a product in as long as I can remember

@APompliano Nah. Too complicated. SpaceX is into defense and government contracts. Too messy for Tesla. Best they are separate.

🚨 The Case for Merging SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla
The real play isn't three separate companies.
It's one unstoppable system: Tesla + xAI + SpaceX.
Energy. Compute. Manufacturing. Robots. Data at planetary scale. Global satellite distribution. And literal access to space.
Tesla already owns the intersection of batteries, vehicles, Optimus bots, and a massive distributed energy + compute grid. Every car on the road is a rolling data node. Every Megapack is energy infrastructure.
Add xAI and suddenly Tesla becomes a vertically integrated AI powerhouse with proprietary real-world data no one else can touch. That's the rocket fuel for frontier models.
Now layer in SpaceX. Starlink gives you a global communications blanket. Rockets solve the ultimate constraint: getting massive compute and power into orbit.
Put it all together and you have something nobody else can copy: full-stack industrial intelligence. Energy generation and storage. Physical hardware and distribution. Global comms. Launch capability. And the smartest AI models on Earth.
Apple, Microsoft, Google? They don't own this stack. Not even close.
Capital-wise, it gets even better. Tesla starts throwing off cash. SpaceX has long-duration contracts and Starlink revenue. xAI brings the explosive upside. One entity means smarter capital allocation instead of three separate balance sheets fighting for resources.
And the narrative? Markets pay huge premiums for category kings. Right now investors have to stitch Musk's vision together themselves. A unified company hands them one clean bet on an AI-powered, energy-abundant, multi-planetary future.
Yes, there are risks: execution complexity, valuation fights, regulatory heat, and serious key-man exposure. Merging won't be clean.
But the upside is wildly asymmetric.
Tesla shareholders get instant exposure to AI and space. SpaceX holders get liquidity and manufacturing muscle. xAI backers plug straight into real-world data, distribution, and capital.
This isn't just a bigger company.
It's the first true full-stack intelligence machine. Capturing energy, turning it into intelligence, deploying it through physical products, and beaming it around the planet (and eventually beyond).
If the mission has always been to build the future faster, combining these three might be the single biggest accelerator.
What do you think? Inevitable or too crazy?

@TeslaTrip @AboveItAll2030 by the end of the year there won’t be any supervised robotaxis in austin giving rides to customers except for maybe in extreme weather events
English
It has been two months.
Based on current trajectories, I'd assume a 60% confidence of getting an unsupervised ride in q4 2026 and 90% in a year in Austin.
Ashok Elluswamy@aelluswamy
Robotaxi rides without any safety monitors are now publicly available in Austin. Starting with a few unsupervised vehicles mixed in with the broader robotaxi fleet with safety monitors, and the ratio will increase over time.
