Greg Brockman’s own 2017 diary entries just exposed everything He wrote: “It’d be wrong to steal the non-profit from him”.........referring to Elon But in the same breath he admitted: “This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon to take me to $1 billion” and “it would be nice to be making the billions.” While Elon was putting in tens of millions of his own money to keep OpenAI alive and pursue safe AGI, Greg Brockman and Sam Altman were secretly plotting to flip the company for-profit, push Elon out, and make themselves billionaires This was pure betrayal Elon funded the mission. They stole billions from the charity

🚨 Altman texts Musk: "we offered you equity when we established the capped profit. you didn't want it at the time." (Altman drafted this with Shivon Zilis, then sent it to Musk that night.) OpenAI's lawyers' plan was to use this to argue Musk's lawsuit is competitive warfare — he was offered for-profit equity, refused only because he wanted control. Musk on the stand today: >"How can I have equity in a non-profit?" That single sentence inverts the defense exhibit. If OpenAI offered Musk equity, OpenAI was already operating like a for-profit. Musk refusing the equity proves he understood the original charter. And in the same text, Altman wrote: "I personally have no equity and never have." Two years later, it was revealed Altman secretly owned the OpenAI Startup Fund.

🚨 NEW COURT FILING — OpenAI's own solicitation emails to Musk For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges. Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened: Altman's October 2015 email to Elon Musk: > "As discussed I think starting with a $100MM commitment (and leaving the time unspecified) is the way to go..." Then the number: > "Can you donate $30MM over the next 5 years?" Musk responded: > "Let's discuss governance. This is critical. I don't want to fund something that goes in what turns out to be the wrong direction." Altman to Musk, a few months later: > "Can you do $20MM a year for the each of the next 3 years?" Musk delivered $38 million plus the office rent. Two and a half years after Musk left the OpenAI board, the asks resumed. July 22, 2020, OpenAI's CFO to Musk's family office: >"It would greatly help the nonprofit org if you're willing to assist with covering... landlord passthroughs and security costs." Musk agreed. He funded OpenAI's rent. Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave. A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose. Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted. Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company. The trust was breached.

🚨 Musk's lawyers just showed the jury the most damaging document in evidence on Brockman: November 2017 Brockman writes in his private diary: >"the true answer is that we want [musk] out... if three months later we're doing b-corp then it was a lie" >“can’t see us turning this into a for-profit without a nasty fight. i’m just thinking about the office and we’re in the office and his story will correctly be that we weren’t honest with him in the end about still wanting to do for profit just without him” January 1, 2018 Brockman emails Musk: >"it's an honor to work alongside you. every meeting with you, i continue to learn, grow, and see the world in a new way" Brockman was planning to oust OpenAI co-founder Musk while publicly thanking him for the privilege of working alongside him.

@WOLF_Financial As a Tesla Shareholder I would be extremely disappointed if Tesla was only valued at 1.4T. With Robotaxi and Optimus it will be worth a lot more in a few years. While I do want Tesla and SpaceX to merge they should do so with Tesla at a substantially higher valuation or wait.

DAN IVES THINKS SPACEX AND TESLA ARE GOING TO MERGE His reasoning: At $1.75T, SpaceX and $TSLA at $1.4T would be a roughly even deal. It gets Musk past 25% voting control of Tesla. And it ties together autonomous, robotics, AI, and space into one company. "That's really what Tesla's story is going to be about." We also talked about: - Anthropic will have to acquire a software company to crack enterprise - Microsoft sentiment at COVID lows - Why AI crushing cybersecurity is a "fairy tale"

🚨CANCER BREAKTHROUGH: Frog-Derived Gut Bacterium Completely ERADICATES 100% of Tumors After a SINGLE Dose in Mice A single IV dose of Ewingella americana achieved COMPLETE tumor elimination in 100% of treated mice—with NO detectable toxicity, outperforming BOTH chemo and immunotherapy. E. americana is a naturally occurring bacterium isolated from the gut microbiome of amphibians (tree frogs) and reptiles—NOT genetically engineered. In a colorectal cancer model, tumors weren’t just reduced—they were fully eliminated, with NO recurrence upon rechallenge, indicating durable immune protection. The new study found it rapidly targets tumors, multiplies inside the tumor microenvironment, and triggers a powerful immune response—activating T cells, B cells, and neutrophils for a dual attack. Investigators observed ~3,000-fold bacterial expansion within tumors within 24 hours, with NO detectable colonization in major organs. Despite IV delivery of live bacteria, there was NO significant toxicity, NO organ damage, and normal blood markers—while the bacteria cleared from circulation within 24 hours. The bacterium outperformed BOTH chemotherapy (doxorubicin, “red devil”) and immune checkpoint blockade (anti–PD-L1)—two pillars of modern cancer therapy. This represents one of the most striking preclinical cancer findings reported to date.

In 2002, Gwynne Shotwell was a 38-year-old single mom with a stable aerospace job when she walked into a dingy El Segundo office to drop off a colleague. Elon Musk cornered her for ten minutes, grilled her on the rocket business, and created a VP of Sales role on the spot. She agonized for weeks (private space was a graveyard of failed startups) but one day on the LA freeway she grabbed her phone and called him: “I’ve been a fucking idiot. I’m taking the job.” She became roughly employee #7. Three Falcon 1 launches exploded in 2006–2007. SpaceX was days from bankruptcy. While engineers scrambled, Gwynne kept selling anyway. She flew to Iridium, closed a make-or-break deal tilted heavily in the customer’s favor because she believed so fiercely it would work. Then, on September 28, 2008, the fourth Falcon 1 finally reached orbit. Hours later she and Elon walked into NASA and sealed a $1.6 billion contract to resupply the space station— pulling the company back from the brink. That single mom who bet everything became president and COO, the reason SpaceX didn’t die and the reason it now flies more rockets than the rest of the world combined. Legend. 🚀

Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this.

Big moment for FSD: My house has a main driveway which is a small loop back to the street and has a back driveway where my garage and Tesla charger are. On prior versions of FSD the Cybertruck would start pulling into the front driveway where my mailbox is, I would always intervene and back into my back driveway to the charger. Since the FSD 14.2.2.5 update and one intervention to stop it from pulling into the front driveway it started pulling into the rear driveway, I would intervene and back in. This morning it passed my front driveway, passed the back driveway and backed in and parked right where my charger is! This is new behavior for FSD and was learned! Supremely exciting moment. It learned that I like to back in and this specific driveway. Huge moment IMO. @aelluswamy any details you can provide on this new behavior?

I'll give you the engagement for your farming. "The speed of recharging is not comparable to gas" - Doesn't need to be. Relax, enjoy life a little, after 3 hours of driving it's good to stretch your legs for a few minutes. While you are standing there pumping gas at your vehicle I'm inside using the restroom. You probably go into the convenience store and do the same but you don't count that time do you? Start counting that time as part of your fill up stop and the equation becomes pretty equal. Also consider that the vast majority of charging happens while the owner sleeps. If you add up all the times you go to the gas station to fill up over the course of the year you probably spend multiple times more than I do charging at a supercharger. "Recharge locations are not as plentiful as gas" - completely false literally every single house with electricity is a charging station. People charge at home 99% of the time, there is no need for as many supercharging stations as gas stations. Your thinking is flawed. I have never waited in line for a charging station, they are plentiful now. "You cannot “fill up” via charging, or that is eight to 15 times longer than gas." - what? I'm assuming you mean fill up to 100% charge. You don't need to, just put 20 minutes of charging in and go about your way and stop again in a few hours for another 20 minutes. Easy. "Electric cars don’t have the interior volume that gas powered vehicles have, making it harder to travel (kids, luggage, etc.)" - completely backwards - electric cars have More interior space for the same size vehicle. "These are simply facts that keep the majority of potential buyers from wanting any electric vehicle." - Your miss-information is a contributor. "We didn’t even address depreciation." - look at the real data, you will be surprised what you find if you look. "Love your car. But have a sense of reality and quit pretending it’s better for everyone. It’s not." - I don't think I have ever heard someone say EV's are better for everyone. For example if you rent and don't have work charging available to you, probably not the most convenient. On the other hand if you own a house or have work charging - it's a slam dunk win. Your first line says it all. "Typical fanboy response" - you hide behind that shield - all I did was state a few facts to counteract your nonsense. You clearly do not drive a Tesla given your opinions on electric cars. Maybe you drove one a couple times. The benefits of owning one become clear after you have had one a little while and have taken some trips. I've been in IT professionally for 30 years. Overwhelmingly, people don't like change and even when presented with something clearly better for most use cases people will cling to the old out of fear of change. They even spread misinformation to feel better about clinging to the old. Don't be afraid

Typical fanboy response. The speed of recharging is not comparable to gas. Recharge locations are not as plentiful as gas. Charging takes three to five times longer than gas. You cannot “fill up” via charging, or that is eight to 15 times longer than gas. Electric cars don’t have the interior volume that gas powered vehicles have, making it harder to travel (kids, luggage, etc.) These are simply facts that keep the majority of potential buyers from wanting any electric vehicle. It makes no difference that you like to sleep in your car or watch movies. The point isn’t that there’s no one that’s willing to put up with the inadequacies of electric cars: certainly there are. The point is that for the average buyer, those inadequacies are a shortcoming that is a showstopper. We didn’t even address depreciation. Love your car. But have a sense of reality and quit pretending it’s better for everyone. It’s not.

@MrEncouragement @niccruzpatane Nonsense. Tesla is the best road trip vehicle. The car drives you the whole way while you relax. ~every 2.5-3 hours the car parks you at a charger, you plug it in, go to the rest room/get drink and walk back to the vehicle to continue. ~20 mins total. Never going back to gas

An electric car is a tool, nothing more. A screwdriver is a tool also. It's a great tool for turning a screw, but it's terrible for spreading mortar on bricks. An electric car is good for local commuting. It's a terrible tool for road trips, for carrying large payloads, or for doing things that are better suited to gasoline cars with longer ranges and bigger capacities.

Elon is confirming that Tesla will sell the Cybercab to end customers. That’s a big tell. Tesla isn’t building just a company-owned Robotaxi fleet. It’s building a hybrid network: part Tesla-owned, part customer-owned. A pure Tesla fleet would be capital heavy. Growth would depend on how many vehicles Tesla funds itself. But if customers can buy a Cybercab and plug it into the network, they fund the hardware while Tesla takes a cut of the miles. That’s asset-light scale layered on top of vertical integration. It also accelerates density. More vehicles on the network means better coverage, faster ETAs, higher utilization, and stronger network effects. And there’s a third angle people are missing: some buyers may purchase a Cybercab primarily for personal use— as a fully autonomous private vehicle— but choose to add it to the fleet occasionally when it’s idle. Others may never add it at all. Either way, it works for Tesla. It increases manufacturing scale, lowers unit costs, and expands the installed base of autonomy — while giving owners optionality to monetize the vehicle. Selling the vehicle doesn’t mean giving up control. Tesla still owns the autonomy stack, dispatch layer, software updates, and payments system. Even customer-owned Cybercabs operate inside Tesla’s ecosystem. If autonomy works, Tesla isn’t just selling cars. It’s building a mobility platform— funded partly by itself, partly by customers, and scalable far faster than a fleet-only model.
