BREAKING: Tesla has officially released FSD V14.3 I'm downloading it in my Model Y right now. Here's everything that's new: • Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon. • Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering. • Rewrote the Al compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed. • Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles. • Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors. • Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety. • Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping - driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet. • Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios. • Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding. • Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet. • Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements. Upcoming Improvements: • Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling. • Add pothole avoidance. • Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.

We had D.O.G.E. But the terrorists attacked Elon for trying to expose the grift. Then the terrorists starting attacking Tesla showrooms and service centers. Then the terrorists started attacking individual Tesla owners and keying our cars. Then the terrorists called Tesla owners Nazis for owning the cars they pleaded for us to buy. Then the terrorists tried to blend in as woke liberals fighting authoritarians. Then they co-opted the entire Democratic Party forcing real liberals out to be replaced by dudes masquerading as women and women masquerading as dudes in the most possibly absurd ways.

@HaywoodTalcove Nick Shirley exposed billions of dollars in fraud with one other guy. Maybe put a half of a dozen people together to expose hundreds of billions of fraud and put the fraudsters in prison.

At one point, California had more people applying for unemployment than there were adults in the entire state. $32.6 billion. Gone. Prisoners collected. Dead people collected. I warned them. I begged them not to let the money go out like that. They suspended every rule anyway. The tools to stop this exist. So why are the doors still open? 30 years tracking fraud. This is the biggest in American history. It didn't have to happen. And it doesn't have to continue.nypost.com/2026/04/01/opi…

A one off weird event. I had one of those years ago. Was driving down a country road midday and everything went black. Hit the brake to a stop and a minute later my eyesight returned. Didn't tell my better half for 2 years. Now with Tesla FSD I am prepared if it were to happen again.

We just won Missouri v. Biden. As Missouri’s Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent “misinformation” while they pushed their narrative on the American people. Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech. Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big. This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection. The deep state just got checked. For every working Missouri family tired of being silenced by their own government: this victory is yours. The heartland fought back, and the heartland delivered.

According to Grok : The video in Jim Ferguson's post (from March 18, 2026) showing the apparent impact/explosion from the U.S. strikes on Iranian underground anti-ship missile sites near the Strait of Hormuz was made possible through standard modern U.S. military strike documentation practices. These clips are almost always captured and released by the U.S. Department of Defense / CENTCOM itself. Here's how that typically works for this kind of precision strike: - **Platform-based sensors and targeting pods** — The strikes were carried out using aircraft (likely fighters like F-15E or F-35, or possibly bombers) equipped with advanced targeting pods (e.g., LITENING or Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod). These pods have high-resolution electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras that record the weapon's release, flight path, and impact in real time for both operational (battle damage assessment) and public affairs purposes. - **Weapon guidance system footage** — The GBU-72 is a precision-guided penetrator bomb. Many such munitions (especially laser- or GPS-guided ones in the JDAM/SDB family lineage) include a small onboard camera or transmit downlink video from the seeker head during terminal flight. This provides the classic "bomb's-eye view" footage that zooms in on the target right up to detonation. - **Overhead ISR assets** — Drones (MQ-9 Reaper or RQ-4 Global Hawk) or other reconnaissance platforms loiter at high altitude to provide persistent surveillance and record the strike from wider angles for confirmation and later release. - **Official release process** — CENTCOM (and sometimes the Pentagon or White House) routinely declassifies and publishes short clips of these strikes on their X account, website, or via press briefings within hours/days. This serves multiple purposes: demonstrating capability, deterring adversaries, reassuring allies, and shaping the narrative. Similar footage has appeared in many recent CENTCOM updates on Operation Epic Fury strikes in Iran (missile sites, naval vessels, air defenses, etc.). The specific short clip shared by Jim Ferguson matches the style and quality of CENTCOM-released strike footage seen in March 2026 reports (e.g., explosions on hardened/coastal targets, often low-light/IR with impact flash and secondary effects). It's not from Iranian sources (they wouldn't release footage showing their own facilities being destroyed), nor is it likely third-party/on-the-ground filming given the remote/hardened underground nature of the sites. Skepticism in replies about "how cameras were there" or "AI-generated" is common for any polished military video, but these are genuine DoD products captured by the attacking platforms themselves — not staged Hollywood-style shoots or external news crews.

🚨 U.S. STRIKES IRAN’S UNDERGROUND MISSILE SITES IN HORMUZ ESCALATION U.S. forces have directly hit underground Iranian missile installations along the Strait of Hormuz using 5,000-lb GBU-72 bunker-buster bombs, according to CENTCOM. These weren’t symbolic strikes. They targeted hardened anti-ship cruise missile positions — the very systems threatening global shipping and energy supply. This is a clear message: The U.S. is prepared to neutralise threats at their source — even deep underground. The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil. Any disruption sends shockwaves through: Energy markets Global trade Every household relying on fuel and supply chains And while the United States is taking decisive action to secure one of the most critical choke points on Earth… Where are its allies? Once again, Washington is doing the heavy lifting — confronting a direct threat to global stability — while much of the Western alliance hesitates on the sidelines. This isn’t just a strike. It’s a demonstration of capability, intent, and leadership. The question now is how Iran responds… And whether the rest of the world finally steps up — or continues to watch from a distance

@CernBasher What requirements, if any, will Tesla have for purchasers of the cyber cab to create a fleet as you describe? They’ll want to ensure that whoever puts these on the road is capable of servicing them and creating a great experience for riders. What do you think?

This isn’t diplomacy. This is the Donroe Doctrine in lethal action...the rebirth of American primacy in the Western Hemisphere, forged in fire and precision at Trump National Doral today. Secretary Rubio just confirmed it: the inaugural Shield of the Americas summit, where President Trump welcomes the heads of 13 battle-hardened, freedom-first nations... Milei’s Argentina, Bukele’s El Salvador, Noboa’s Ecuador, Peña’s Paraguay, and the rest of this no-bullshit coalition. No socialist deadweight. No Beijing proxies. Just allies committed to one ironclad mission: transform the hemisphere through unbreakable security, cartel annihilation, migration lockdown, and the total expulsion of Chinese influence that’s been metastasizing across our backyard like a slow poison. Geopolitically, this is masterful. While the old multilateral corpse...OAS, failed Summits of the Americas...rotted under globalist neglect, Trump bypasses the rot. He assembles a coalition of the willing: right-wing alphas who’ve already proven they’ll crush narco-terrorists, secure borders, and choose sovereignty over CCP debt traps. Joint ops, intel fusion, economic steel...this isn’t talk. It’s the architecture of hemispheric denial. Fentanyl pipelines severed at the source. Strategic minerals and ports clawed back from Beijing’s grip. Energy dominance locked in. And the message to Maduro’s remnants, Ortega, and every Beijing-backed foothold? Your time is fucking over. The venom here is pure and surgical: four years of open borders, cartel empowerment, and Chinese infiltration under the prior regime turned our southern flank into a dagger aimed at America’s heart. Trump and Rubio just flipped the script...lethal, unapologetic, profound. The Monroe Doctrine, reborn as the Donroe Doctrine, reasserts what history always knew: this hemisphere belongs to free nations under U.S. leadership, not to communists, cartels, or cowards. This is how empires don’t just survive...they dominate. America asserts. The weak tremble. The strong align. Game over for the enemies within and without. 🗡️💀🗡️
Secretary Marco Rubio@SecRubio

In Florida to join @POTUS for the first ever Shield of the Americas summit. Today, President Trump welcomes a coalition of 13 countries committed to freedom, security, and prosperity for our hemisphere. Together with our partners, the U.S. will transform the Western Hemisphere.

@TimWhelan20 Small things like not taking an HOV exit, or just lane minute route changes. I also disengage basically every drive when I get home - FSD tries to pull into the wrong driveway all the time so I usually just disengage and drive myself at the very very end of my drive.

I do not drive anymore. Tesla Self-Driving does over 99% of my driving, and the only disengaging I do is for small nav issues and parking preferences (which I assume will get resolved in 14.3). How is the world not freaking out about FSD? I cannot believe how good it has gotten, yet I still don’t hear anyone outside of “our bubble” talking about it.

@sakenexe Magic probably signed a dozen or more of these and just because there’s one photo of him signing in a particular spot doesn’t mean that he didn’t sign others in a different spot. Actually, sending each one in a different location, makes them unique and preserves the value.

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.

Earlier today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Picked up a bottle of wine and went to the register. The checkout girl asked me for ID. I screamed at her “THIS IS JIM CROW! MY PEOPLE DID NOT WADE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN WATERS OF SLAVERY, RUNNING TO THE NORTH, FOR YOU TO ASK ME FOR ID!” She sobbed something about state laws and how this was just a part time job for her, or something, but I was already organizing sit ins, a march from my house to the supermarket, and had already gotten the notes together for my book that I’d be writing from prison about injustice. Chuck Schumer told me that ID is racist and dammit, if Chuck Schumer says it, then it must be true. “We shall overcome one day…”

Elon Musk just said what no economist will: the entire system is about to break and nothing can stop it. AI and robotics aren’t generating growth. They’re destroying the scarcity framework economics depends on. Musk: “It will hit us like a supersonic tsunami.” Production compounds exponentially. Money supply grows linearly. Productivity sustaining permanent double-digit expansion. Numbers that sound impossible becoming baseline. Not evolution. Replacement. Musk: “Prices collapse hard.” Not decline. Implosion. AI strips out labor costs, eliminates production errors, removes every inefficiency keeping goods expensive. Manufacturing anything approaches zero marginal cost while quality accelerates. Governments will react on instinct. Print money. Inject stimulus. Playbook designed for scarcity economies colliding with abundance they have no framework to understand. Musk: “GDP metrics are already meaningless.” Every economic model assumes constrained labor, limited output, gradual improvement. AI doesn’t work within those boundaries. It deletes them as variables. Production explodes. Central banks flood liquidity. Prices collapse regardless because physical abundance scales faster than any monetary intervention can match. The production wave outruns policy response. Always. Deflation signals crisis in every historical model. But this isn’t demand collapse. It’s supply going infinite. The economy isn’t failing. It’s transforming beyond tools built to measure scarcity. Power belongs to whoever controls the systems generating unlimited output. Money becomes secondary when production costs vanish. Policy makers are steering with instruments calibrated for limits that stopped existing. This already started. And the people running things have zero answers for what happens when their entire profession becomes obsolete overnight.
