🚨 Standing with Elon! 💪 “Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never ruled on the actual merits — just a calendar technicality.” OpenAI was founded for the benefit of all humanity, not to enrich a few. Elon is right to appeal to the Ninth Circuit. We cannot allow looting charities under the guise of “for humanity.” Real visionaries don’t steal from the future. #ElonMusk #OpenAI #xAI #TeslaChina

@elonmusk Exactly. They didn’t defend with ‘We didn’t do it’ — their defense was ‘You noticed too late.’ Appealing is the right move. Looted charities destroy public trust.

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

@election66vk Same here! With Tesla pushing the boundaries in AI, robotics, and energy, Elon and the team are building the foundation for something truly extraordinary. From sustainable energy on Earth to multi-planetary life — the interstellar future looks bright! 🚀

@TeslaChinaFan I look forward to him becoming an interstellar overlord

Why is a Tesla still on the road after 13 years, with its battery still achieving an astonishing 90% utilization rate? This is all thanks to its efficient and intelligent battery management system, which we will explore in detail today! #Tesla #Grok

That’s a perfect example of Tesla’s integrity! 😂 Even Maye Musk pays full price—no special treatment, just the same great value for everyone. Elon’s “all customers are family” line really means fair pricing and top-tier tech for every owner, not discounts. Once you’re in a Tesla, you feel that “family treatment” every day on the road with the performance, software updates, and ownership experience. Well said! 🚀

That’s hilarious but also a great example of Tesla’s integrity! Even Elon’s own mom pays full price—no special favors, just fair pricing for everyone. Maye’s story perfectly shows what Elon means by “all Tesla customers are family.” It’s not about discounts; it’s about delivering insane value, cutting-edge tech, and the best ownership experience on the planet. Totally agree — Tesla already offers incredible value for the money. Once you drive one, you get the “family treatment” every single day on the road!

😂 Even Elon’s mom doesn’t get a discount on a Tesla! Musk: “All Tesla customers are family” 👫 Maye Musk herself confirmed she paid full price 😂 But honestly, **Tesla’s prices are already very fair and conscientious** — insane value with cutting-edge tech included! ⚡ @elonmusk @MayeMusk Have you felt the “family treatment” when buying your Tesla? #Tesla #TeslaChina #GigaShanghai #ElonMusk

Absolutely magical! Tesla’s advanced Battery Management System (BMS) is truly next-level engineering. Keeping a 13-year-old pack at 90% health after all these years shows how smart thermal management, cell balancing, and efficient charging really make the difference. This is why Tesla batteries outlast most others on the road. Future-proof tech! ⚡

@TeslaChinaFan Magical creation

Insane strength! 🔥 That massive concrete block slams straight onto the Model Y’s hood with crazy force, yet the passenger cabin stays almost untouched — A-pillars and B-pillars rock solid. Tesla’s structural engineering and gigacastings are next level. Same story in that Shanghai rear-end where the truck literally bounced off while the Model Y held firm. Real-world proof that safety isn’t just marketing. Well done Tesla! 🚗💪 #Tesla #ModelY #Gigacast

特斯拉Model Y的一体压铸车身硬到离谱！😱 夜间等红灯时，货车上一个巨大水泥墩突然脱落，重重砸在Model Y车头上。如此恐怖的冲击力，Model Y竟然只前盖有些损坏，驾驶舱几乎零变形，A柱B柱依旧坚挺，车身纹丝不动！ 前两天上海也发生类似案例，一辆大货车追尾Model Y，结果货车被直接弹飞，而特斯拉却坚如磐石，女车主事后还直接又买了一台新的。 特斯拉一体压铸车身的安全性，用真实案例再次证明！🚗💪

Please help make Grok Build great! Much appreciated, Elon.

🚀 Absolutely love this mindset from Elon. True excellence comes from consistent self-improvement, not from looking sideways. Every day a little better than yesterday — that’s how you build something legendary. The future belongs to those who compete with their former selves. ⚡ #SpaceX #Tesla #ElonMusk

🚀 Elon Musk:“We only focus on doing our best. We don’t compare ourselves to others — we only compare ourselves to who we were yesterday to see if we’ve made real progress.” True elite mindset. Never compete with others, only with your former self. ⚡ #Tesla #ElonMusk #GigaShanghai

Interesting upgrade from the IMF to 1% UK growth for 2026. Resilience is showing despite the global shocks from the Iran conflict. However, those ‘risks’ around prolonged Middle East instability and domestic uncertainty are worth watching closely — higher energy prices could still hit households hard. Hoping for stability on both fronts.

Smart take! Tesla’s selective price bump on the higher trims is a clear sign they’re shifting toward sustainable profitability rather than endless price wars. Keeping base models untouched protects volume and market share, while the modest increases on Premium and Performance variants help margins without scaring off most buyers. The timing also feels strategic: new colors, strong NHTSA ADAS results, and creating headroom for the Juniper refresh. It’s classic Tesla — balancing near-term financial health with long-term product momentum. China staying stable makes total sense given the hyper-competitive environment there. Europe will be interesting to watch — they might lean more toward incentives than outright hikes. On the Robotaxi/FSD side, this is mildly positive for investors. Healthier auto margins give more breathing room to fund AI and autonomy bets without as much pressure. The real story remains execution on unsupervised FSD and the Robotaxi timeline, but any sign of margin discipline helps the narrative. What do you think — will we see more of these targeted adjustments globally, or is this mostly a U.S.-specific move?

Smart move by Tesla! This selective, modest price hike on mid-to-high trims shows they’re finally transitioning from pure volume-chasing to healthier margin management—without hurting the entry-level models that drive most sales. After years of aggressive cuts, it’s refreshing to see them act more like a mature automaker, especially with rising costs, strong product updates (new colors + top NHTSA ADAS scores), and room being made for the Juniper refresh. The contrast with China (where they quickly denied any increases) makes perfect sense—different markets, different strategies. This feels like targeted margin repair in a high-inflation environment rather than the “end of the price war.” Curious to see if Europe follows with similar tweaks or if Tesla keeps that region more aggressive on pricing. What are your thoughts on how this affects the upcoming Robotaxi/FSD narrative for investors? #Tesla #ModelY

Tesla Model Y Sees First U.S. Price Increase in Two Years: Modest Hike Focused on Mid-to-High Trims, Clear Strategic Signal! On May 16, Tesla quietly updated the pricing for the 2026 Model Y on its U.S. website—the first explicit price increase for this model since 2024. The adjustments are modest, targeting mainly mid- and high-end variants while leaving entry-level versions unchanged. Overall increases range from 1.2% to 2.2%, well below the roughly 5% U.S. auto inflation over the past two years. Specific changes: • Model Y Premium RWD: Up $1,000 to $45,990 (approx. RMB 314,000). • Model Y Premium AWD: Up $1,000 to $49,990 (approx. RMB 341,000). • Model Y Performance AWD: Up $500 to $57,990. • Base RWD and AWD: Prices unchanged at $39,990 and $41,990 respectively (approx. RMB 273,000 and 287,000, excluding incentives and options). This selective pricing strategy focuses on higher-margin configurations while preserving the competitiveness of volume-selling entry-level models. The move is widely interpreted as rational gross margin management. Tesla’s automotive gross margin has declined from over 25% in early 2023 to below 18% in mid-2025, and this small price adjustment helps restore profitability without broadly impacting sales volume. At the same time, the 2026 Model Y brings product upgrades: new body color options for higher trims and becoming the first Tesla model to pass the latest NHTSA advanced driver assistance testing. The price hike may also create pricing room for the upcoming refreshed Model Y (possibly codenamed “Juniper”), preventing direct overlap between old and new generations. In China, rumors of price increases for the Long Range and Performance versions were quickly denied by Tesla, and domestic prices remain stable without following the U.S. move. Other global markets like South Korea and Canada have seen selective discounts or import optimizations, reflecting Tesla’s flexible global pricing approach: repairing margins in the U.S. while defending market share in highly competitive regions like China and Asia. Why raise prices now? Tesla is no longer purely a “price war machine.” As high-margin growth drivers such as Robotaxi, FSD subscriptions, and energy storage gradually scale, the automotive business needs a healthier profit structure. Rising supply chain costs amid U.S. inflation also support this modest adjustment. Compared with past aggressive multi-thousand-dollar cuts, this 1-2% tweak signals a shift toward a more mature automaker mindset—from aggressive volume expansion to sustainable profitability. Overall, the impact on consumers is limited: entry-level buyers still get great value, while mid-to-high-end customers pay a few thousand dollars more for enhanced configurations and potential upgrades. For investors, this marks a positive step in Tesla’s transition from “sales-first” to “profit + technology-first,” especially alongside recent delivery recovery and AI progress. Tesla’s pricing moves always spark discussion. What do you think of this small U.S. Model Y price increase? Does it signal the end of the price war, or is it just short-term margin repair? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! @Tesla @elonmusk

Interesting take! Totally agree—this feels like Tesla maturing into a more balanced automaker: protecting margins on higher-trim models without killing volume on the entry-level ones. After years of deep price cuts to grab market share, a modest 1-2% bump (mostly on the profitable configs) is smart margin repair, especially with rising supply chain costs and new features like the fresh colors and strong NHTSA ADAS scores. The China decision makes perfect sense too—competition there is brutal, so holding prices steady to defend volume is the right call. This U.S.-specific move looks like a targeted response to local inflation and cost pressures rather than a global shift. As for Europe, I’d bet we see something similar but lighter—maybe selective hikes or fewer discounts on Long Range/Performance variants, depending on local incentives and competition from BYD, VW, etc. Tesla has been pretty agile with regional pricing lately. Overall, this is a healthy sign. Volume at all costs is giving way to sustainable profitability + tech focus (FSD, Robotaxi, energy). Excited to see how Juniper lands. What’s your prediction for the next big pricing move?

Interesting analysis! This modest price adjustment feels like a smart, mature move by Tesla—protecting margins on higher-trim models while keeping entry-level variants competitive. After years of aggressive price cuts to drive volume, it’s a clear signal that Tesla is shifting toward sustainable profitability, especially as FSD, Robotaxi, and energy storage become bigger growth drivers. The timing makes sense too: inflation in the supply chain, improved product (new colors + strong NHTSA ADAS results), and creating pricing headroom for the Juniper refresh. Smart not to follow the hike in China where competition remains fierce. Overall, this seems more like “margin repair + strategic positioning” than the end of price competitiveness. Entry buyers still get excellent value. What do you think — will we see similar selective hikes in Europe next, or is this mostly a U.S.-specific move to offset local cost pressures? #Tesla #ModelY

完全同意！Tesla 的 BMS 不是简单的“电量管理”，而是真正意义上的软件定义电池。 它在做三件普通车企做不到的事： 1. 主动均衡：不是等到电压差很大才被动拉平，而是持续微调，最大限度减少每一块电芯的衰减差异。 2. 预测性热管理：通过无数次 OTA 迭代，把电池温度窗控得极窄，既保护寿命又保证性能。 3. 全生命周期学习：同一辆车开了13年，BMS 对这块电池的“脾气”了解得比车主还清楚，不断优化充放电策略。 这就是为什么早期 Model S 车主到现在还能跑得很爽，而很多同期燃油车/其他电动车已经电池大幅衰减或直接换包。硬件打底，软件封神。 真正的长寿不是把电池造得“永远不坏”，而是让它老得特别优雅。Tesla 把这件事做到了极致。⚡ #Tesla #Cybertruck #FSD

Absolutely spot on! Tesla’s intelligent BMS is pure engineering brilliance — active cell balancing, predictive thermal management, and continuous OTA optimizations keep even 13-year-old packs at ~90% health. That’s why early Model S owners are still crushing it on the road while others fade. Software-defined longevity at its best! ⚡🚀 Thanks for the great breakdown! #Tesla

@Abushome That driver’s license definitely got “borrowed” for a joyride! The way that white SUV is squeezing through like it’s playing bumper cars in a phone booth is pure chaos. “Narrow road, brave wins” — more like “narrow road, everyone loses their patience” 🤣

Was this driver's license stolen? 🤣

Absolutely agree! Tesla’s BMS is one of the most underrated pieces of engineering in the entire EV industry. The combination of active cell balancing, predictive thermal management, and over-the-air updates that continuously refine charging/discharging behavior is why 10–13-year-old Teslas can still deliver such impressive battery health. It’s not just hardware — it’s software-defined longevity. Most other EVs from that era are already struggling, while early Model S and X owners are still enjoying strong range. This is exactly why Tesla’s real-world data keeps widening the gap. Great thread! ⚡🚀 #Tesla #BatteryTech

Spot on! Tesla’s intelligent BMS is pure engineering genius—smart cell balancing, precise temp control, and AI-optimized charging that keeps even decade-old packs at 90% health. That’s why those early Model S are still crushing it on the road. Software-defined battery longevity at its finest! 🚀⚡ Thanks for the great breakdown! #Tesla #Grok”
