@WhiteHouse Did we sink all of Iran's midget submarines too?

Iran cannot do business because of the blockade. They have no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft equipment. They have nothing.

@FutureAZA @Phil_I_Long Oh, the brakes, not the breaks.

@Phil_I_Long So there's this second pedal next to the one that makes you go real fast to give first timer riders the experience. It's there in case of emergency, or worse, human drivers.

To those of you with a Tesla (or really any EV) how long did it take before you first had to change your brakes? And if you haven't needed to, what's the age and mileage of your vehicle?

@WebullGlobal What does "immediately upon launch" mean? Is the change already implemented on Webull?

Webull is excited to support the removal of Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rules immediately upon launch, expanding flexibility for traders. Learn more here: prn.to/3OpYqJW Webull Financial LLC, Member SIPC, FINRA. Investing involves risk. More info at bit.ly/41yCHTW

@Jamesma1109 But they charge so slowly compared to the BYD Blade 2 battery.

BREAKING: ASSB may come earlier Today, I accidentally received news that BYD's 400Wh/kg SSB has passed the vehicle level certification. So I also checked the progress of CATL's solid-state batteries. It was found that CATL's 500Wh/kg ASSB has also recently passed the automotive grade certification of China Automotive Research Institute. Based on the upcoming launch event of CATL's heavyweight battery technology in Beijing on April 21st, CaishenRoad has reason to believe that CATL will release this ASSB. It's incredible that CATL' high specific energy battery is actually an ASSB, which is even more radical than what I predicted a few days ago. Oh my God, is the era of solid state batteries really coming? @LimitingThe

@cb_doge So if you want to buy a new Tesla wait until next year so you can get that awesome AI5 chip.

"Tesla’s new AI5 chip is about 3 times more power efficient than NVIDIA Blackwell at under 10% of the cost. I am super hardcore on chips right now. I have chips on the brain. I dream about chips. A single AI5 has ~5 times the useful compute of a dual SoC AI4." 一 Elon Musk

@ericmmatheny It can never be a single page tax return for businesses and stock market investors.

Flat tax. Whether you make $1000 or $100 million. A fixed percentage for everybody. And that’s it. A one-page tax form. No bullshit. Everybody pays a reasonable and equitable amount. Everyone - from the wealthiest to the poorest - have skin in the game.

@XH_Lee23 One has to buy a new EV with the Blade 2 battery to benefit from this.

BYD has brought its latest ultra-fast flash-charging tech to Europe, the first outside of China. 3 minutes to around 50%: "I've absolutely never seen anything like this!" The journalists were all amazed. 97% in 9 min 22 sec. BYD has made the dream of fast charging come true.

@RudyGiuliani Pakistan is a Muslim country and we are fine with them having nuclear weapons. How do you explain that?

Iran trying to get President Trump to approve nuclear weapons in 20 years is a non-starter and an insult. For 1400 years they have believed that Allah commands them to destroy us. Nuclear weapons should never be in the their hands,not now, not ever.

@yamanakanobody The wide availability of abortions and contraceptives has a lot to do with declining birth rates. Take those things away and you will have a baby boom.

@ElectrekCo @FredLambert When will they deliver the first vehicle to a customer?

@SawyerMerritt Peak charging power of 350kW is disappointing in a world where Chinese cars reach over 1000kW.

Mercedes has just unveiled the redesigned all-electric 2027 EQS. • Range: Around ~400 miles (expected EPA) • Optional steer-by-wire (first German production car with it) • 122 kWh battery with new silicon oxide + graphite chemistry (higher energy density, reduced cobalt) • Heated seatbelts (front) • Peak charging speed: 350kW. Adds 200 miles in ~10 mins • Drag coefficient as low as ~0.20 cd • 800-volt architecture • New in-house electric drive units (more compact, efficient, robust) • Two-speed transmission (rear axle) for better acceleration and highway efficiency • Braking energy can now be recuperated a third faster, at up to 385 kW • Improved mid-range acceleration and overall efficiency • Standard MBUX Hyperscreen (55+ inches, 3 displays under one glass panel) • Rear-axle steering • Updated design: hood powerdomes, star DRLs, refined light bars, sportier styling • AIRMATIC air suspension with predictive, cloud-based damping (adjusts before bumps) • Improved ride comfort, stability, and agility • Driver assistance system with AI + up to 27 sensors (cameras, radar, ultrasonic) • Features: Steering Assist, Lane Change Assist, DISTRONIC, Evasive Steering, Proactive lane changes • Enhanced Parking Assist (detects unmarked spaces, exit assist) • Reverse maneuver assist (automatically backs up along previous path) • 360° camera with improved visuals + rim protection warning • New digital light with micro-LED (brighter, higher resolution, 50% more efficient) • Rear inflatable beltbags for added safety • HEPA air filtration system U.S. deliveries start second half of 2026. Expected starting price around $105,000. Actual pricing and performance number will be released later.

@sven_liebig @noisyb0y1 That looks like an RP2040-Zero board.

@noisyb0y1 What USB-C Chip is that? I‘m a hardware noob but would love to start with something simple like this.

Chinese student bought a USB-C chip for $2 with a blue LED. Smaller than my thumb. Set it up with Claude Code in 15 minutes. The chip does one thing - blinks when AI agents are working and goes dark when they're waiting. Nothing else. The Google engineer did the same thing and ended up automating 80% of his work at the company, and now just decides whether to let the chip work or not. Everything Claude Code - 27 agents, 64 skills, 1,282 security tests out of the box. You stop chatting with AI and start managing a team. Commenters on the forum mocked the Chinese student. Someone wrote that his toaster has more computing power. He didn't reply to anyone. Just added one line at the bottom: the LED knows before you do.

@JustinWolfers Gold is used in electronics.

“Gold has no inherent value. It's a shiny rock... people buy gold because they think other people value gold, and that's a self sustaining equilibrium.”

@JDVance Frankly the priority should be to remove the terrorist Ayatollahs from power. They are the reason why we don't want Iran to enrich uranium.

⁨⁨We’ve been extremely clear on our redlines. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. At the same time, if it gives up its nuclear program, it can gain a lot from these negotiations. I hope they choose wisely.⁩

@RivianWave Does the R2 use a lead-acid 12V battery or does it use a lithium one?

What questions do you have about the Rivian R2? We’ll try to get your questions answered.

@SawyerMerritt Ford makes cars in China and exports them to other countries. It makes plenty of money that way.

Ford CEO Jim Farley in new interview on letting Chinese cars into the US: “We should not let them into our country. Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country and for us to lose that to those exports would be devastating to our country. The huge direct support Chinese carmakers get from their government gives them an unfair advantage to slash prices and decimate domestic automakers in the US. There is no way this is a fair fight.” He also says there is a national security risks from allowing Chinese vehicles on US roads: “All of these vehicles have 10 cameras. They can collect a lot of data.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@RivianWave Will the jack pucks for the R1 fit the R2? Will the cargo bars for the R1 fit the R2?

@thejefflutz Trump wrongly said in his original post that every single vessel would be blocked. CENTCOM later clarified the situation.

Bcos people don’t read… they think the entire Strait has the US blockade vs just Iranian ports 🙄

@WhiteHouse Trump lied. Not all vessels will be blocked. CENTCOM said the blockade specifically targets maritime traffic entering or leaving Iranian ports and any vessels that paid "tolls" to Iran.

"Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz." - President Donald J. Trump
