California Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation today creating a new state point-of-sale rebate that gives all first-time EV buyers $3,500 off a new electric vehicle.
• $3,500 off new EVs with an MSRP up to $50,000
• $1,750 off used EVs sold for up to $25,000
• The rebate is open to any Californian buying their first ZEV, regardless of their income level.
If a ZEV automaker is headquartered in California as of Jan 1, 2026, there are no price limits. The rebate initiative carries a total budget of $270 million, with funding coming from both the state budget and automakers.

@DavidSacks @denniskneale Founders and capital allocators: Don’t believe Gavin, he’s a liar.
Come to Austin!
He will steal your assets, just like he stole… well, many others things.

Today was the day that Gavin Newsom was supposed to save the tech industry by cutting a deal to kill the Billionaire Tax Act. Instead he came out as DSA-adjacent, and BTA will be on the ballot in November. See y’all in Texas!

It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract. 10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed. The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans. It’s time for an economic reset. @gavinnewsom" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@gavinnewsom

@BlindBearMedia I don’t believe Eric Trump asked for insider information to place a bet. Give me a break.

This is completely fake! I have never reached out to Daniel. In fact, this is scary.

It's not like he sat on his ass and made "1 Trillion Dollars" - he created multiple world changing companies that have made a positive impact on people's lives!
- SpaceX
- Tesla
- Neuralink
These are just a few of the companies that he started that have made a massive impact in the world. Most people can't create 1 company let alone 3, or 5, or more.
He doesn't own a yacht, he doesn't have insane mansions, he doesn't show off his wealth -- he just works to make the world a better place.
I don't understand the hate for this guy, take a moment to see what he's created -- it's simply amazing!

@brockpierson That came out SO WRONG, but damn is it funny....
*I* wasn't the reason failed (maybe partially) but I can *EXPLAIN* why Vista failed.
Sigh. I don't write so good.

Windows Vista actually had a pretty nice design, but my goodness the operating system was so bad.
What do you think the reason it flopped so horribly?

14.3.3 nags less too

6 drives and 6 hours into FSD v14.3.3, here’s my review: - Actually Smart Summon improvements are fantastic. The 33% speed increase from 6-8mph is actually extremely noticeable and makes it feel more human-like driving through a parking lot, especially a crowded one. Some may think it’s not a big change, but it is. - “Hey Grok” is amazing! It has worked perfectly for me each time so far as a wake word, and I’ve used it a bunch. Huge quality of life improvement and being able to set navigation reminders is a really awesome feature! - FSD v14.3.3 reacted to someone running their stop sign before I could even see them around a wall in a parking garage. The driver monitoring system (DMS) is way more relaxed in this build than previously, especially in Standard profile. - The new car visualization looks so much richer and better as combined with the spring update, way cooler. The acceleration profile of Mad Max is much smoother from 0-2mph off the line compared to v14.3.2, it doesn’t feel jerky or a jolt off the line. This is a big improvement and it’s still plenty quick. - On city streets, and I’m pretty sure on the highway as well, Standard is more relaxed with changing lanes. It doesn’t change as frequently which is a nice thing to have for street driving. I’ll get a lot more seat time this afternoon through this week. - There has been no twitching or jerky behavior with this build. Smooth inputs even in tricky scenarios- in the past few days FSD v14.3.2 has been slightly twitchy in my experience but this is way better. - When FSD v14.3.3 reverses out of a parallel or perpendicular parking spot, I’ve noticed on this build it doesn’t reverse as far as before and it reduced unnecessary reversing distance. It feels more human like as it knows exactly the amount of steering angle required to exit the spot without backing up to far. This was even present in my 2025 Model 3 without a front fascia camera. - Mad Max feels a bit more refined. It’s like a smooth slice through traffic and I’m now using it almost exclusively vs hurry I used before. The improved off the line performance is a big factor in that as well. Very calculated decisions and inputs. - The new FSD Intervention streak feature is a really cool addition, would’ve been awesome to have for our FSD Cannonball Run record from New York City-LA, but I love how they are incentivizing using the system more as it’s safer than driving yourself. - Speed control in 55mph speed zones needs more work, this was apparent on the cannonball with FSD v14.3.2 but there’s no clear max speed for it in 55 zones. Should be tamed and restricted a bit specifically in 55mph zones. Looking forward to improved pothole avoidance too. - I like the new messages at top of the screen, specifically if you do not have a destination set in the navigation, it will tell you to select one. If you are in Mad Max occasionally it will let you know increased attention could be required if the surroundings require it. - Parking garage behavior seems unchanged from FSD v14.3.2 when inside, but noticed it was slightly more confident entering and exiting the garages and coming up to the ticket dispenser. Didn’t see much looping behavior. - I haven’t had FSD v14.3.3 camp in the left lane yet, as I haven’t had it on an empty highway since there’s been traffic today. This was a feature that FSD v14.3.2 had in that we didn’t enjoy on the cannonball. I’ll get some seat time in on my drive to NorCal this week where we’ll see if it does it. - I haven’t had any weird braking, jitteriness or twitching yet, definitely a big smoothness jump over FSD v14.3.2, even more so than FSD v14.2.2.5 in my experience so far. Overall, this version did a great job combining the attributes of FSD v14.3 like the insane reaction time, parking features, and new stack with the refinement that we loved with FSD v14.2.2.5 AND the great Spring Update features. Elon said this update is a banger, and it is. Great work @Tesla_AI teams!!

@rahulsood Elon is a whimpering child with this case. It was inevitable that he would lose.
English
Unanimous verdict is in on Musk vs OpenAI.
wow Elon lost because of the Statute of Limitations. What a joke.
English
@rahulsood I think OpenAI covered their bases with the docs that Elon signed. His fault for not reading/understanding them. Right now it just makes it look like he is regretting that decision by going after them. He wanted OpenAI to go for-profit. That argument is now moot.
English
I'm a big fan of Elon- although Greg's testimony today gives me a different POV from Sam and Greg's perspective. Regardless - at this point it's clear that they owe Elon at least 25% of OpenAI, maybe more.

@elonmusk To keep that you’re gonna need to have add a vehicle the US market for larger families. Current Model Y third row is way too tight.

@landforce I’ve had the same questions and what I discovered is that Code automatically discovered my Claude projects directory and operated just like cowork. I have found Code more valuable as I work on specs/mocks based on existing code.
English
If I use Claude Code is there any reason to ever use Cowork?
it seems Cowork is just Claude Code without the dev tooling and with UI for the stuff you're doing..
Every time I use Cowork it seems like I should have just been in Code but Idk if I'm missing something or what

Hey internet friends, I need some help: I have a family member who just applied the Windows April 2026 patch to his home business laptop and it forced a reboot and is demanding a bitlocker key.
The problem is: he didn't bitlocker his laptop. There's no key on his account online.
What can he do?

@briansengson @chamath @SenWarren Congress must also shop for medical insurance on the marketplace, and they lose it when they leave/are voted out
English
@chamath @SenWarren Couldn’t agree more. I’ll add a few:
Departments should be able to pass audits.
Congress should pass single-issue bills.
Congress pay is suspended during government shutdowns.
No congressional trading.

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American.
It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.
