Imagine you’re in your $TSLA with your child, and FSD tries to drive you off a multi-level highway.

Carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04% of the Earth’s atmosphere.
That means 99.96% of the atmosphere is not carbon dioxide.
For context, the air we breathe is roughly:
78% nitrogen
21% oxygen
0.93% argon
0.04% carbon dioxide
Yet modern political debate often talks as if CO₂ is the dominant component of the atmosphere.
It isn’t.
It is a trace gas measured in hundredths of a percent.
Serious discussions about energy, economics, and climate should start with understanding the actual scale of the numbers involved, not slogans or emotional narratives.
Reality matters.

This makes me even more bullish on $RIVN. Here are some reasons why:
1) The fact that RJ can get $500M investment from Accel and a16z, two of the top VC firms in the world, for a robotics startup, shows that access to capital will not be an issue for Rivian.
2) Mind Robotics itself, is a fantastic AI/Robotics startup, that will be focusing on solving manufacturing problems and will have plenty of customers for its solutions, including Rivian itself.
3) Rivian owns majority of Mind Robotics. A typical investment of this size by a VC is generally purchasing ~20-25% of the company. IF THAT'S THE CASE (that's a big if), that values Mind Robotics somewhere north of $2 Billion. Not too shabby, especially considering VCs are hoping/expecting at least 10x or higher returns for their investments.
4) Mind Robotics will likely be using Rivian's in-house designed RAP chips, providing at least another customer to help scale the costs of this chip, which is fantastic!
Very cool!

I am excited to announce Mind Robotics’ $500M financing, co-led by @Accel and @a16z! Mind is focused on building the world’s leading industrial robotics platform, capable of performing dexterous, variable, and reasoning-intensive tasks. Existing industrial robotics can perform repeatable, dimensionally stable tasks, but a large share of industrial value-add work requires human-like dexterity, adaptation, and physical reasoning that classical robotics cannot address. We are building AI-powered robots—models, hardware, and deployment infrastructure—that will perform real tasks, in real plants, at real scale.

This is interesting! Appears to be a better way to do marketing/advertising. Launching on March 13th, the day after pricing is announced for R2.
If I had to guess, $RIVN is setting up to have a major R2 launch campaign, which will show significantly more demand and preorders, and then possibly using that for capital raise in Q2 which lines up with @Rivian_DD predictions.

I am excited to announce our partnership with @MarkRober and @crunchlabs! With incredible advances in AI, so many aspects of our lives and society are being rewritten. Never before has learning and embracing the idealistic curiosity we are all born with been so important. Mark is one of the most incredible thinkers in redefining how we learn — his ability to inspire curiosity and activate imagination is truly something special. @Rivian is being built to help enable and inspire adventure — to explore and learn. Mark inspires so many people from around the world, from kids to adults, to ask why…to imagine…and, of course, to laugh. This joyful approach to learning is exactly what is needed as we redefine so much of how our world works.

FYI: the full range is a waste of effort. Near the upper end most tension on biceps goes away. Hence, limit range to the stretched biceps range. Same in all other exercises: keep motion mostly in stretched muscle range. The moment you leave that range you do nothing effective (or less effective). Eg bench press the same. If you lock out or come close to locking out you do it wrong or leave gains on table. You want to spend maximum time moving in peak stretch and effort. Maximum muscle cell stimulation follows. Results: significant strength gains. Peace

10,000 Starships should be enough to take up half of Elon Musk‘s promises to space if they were written on microfiche!

Yes, at massive volume. Maybe as high as 10,000 ships per year.

I think we will all be shocked how quickly Rivian makes progress on point to point.
Everyone who tried early autopilot or FSD will be impressed how smoothly it handles roads without clear markings, how smooth the accelerator, brake, and steering are today.
You can tell the better cameras see traffic from up ahead so you don’t fly into the rear end of another car then slam on brakes. It’s smooth.
I’m pumped!

Elon Musk is mad that a storyline was “forced on” the Stranger Things audience.
All storylines are forced onto audiences.
What was the problem with this storyline? A character coming out as gay.
Bro is losing it. Being mad about fictional characters coming out. Loser.

I owned $AMZN long before it became profitable. They were the only internet retailer that could complete next day delivery. Several EV players have already built unsupervised autonomous ride hailing platforms so $TSLA is very different than AMZN. Maybe $TSLA in 2019 vs AMZN ~20 years ago.
