Fred Lambert@FredLambert·
I might be wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the 'AI hardware company' Tesla quietly acquired for up to $2 billion this month might be DensityAI. DensityAI was created by long-time Tesla silicon lead Ganesh Venkataramanan just two years ago. Last year, over 20 top Tesla Dojo engineers went to the startup – gutting Tesla's silicon team. At the time, Musk claimed that he killed Dojo, but during the earnings call last week, he said that they are back "discussing ideas for Dojo" and in the 10Q, Tesla confirmed to buy in "AI hardware company". If Tesla "acqui-hired" DensityAI, it would make sense that Dojo is back at Tesla. If anyone has a rebuttal or more on this, please let me know.

@elonmusk What's the ETA for FSD v14.3 with the 10x params? Any possibility to shed some light on the difficulties getting this released?

Can Tesla scale the Cybercab beyond the 2,500 annual limit now? It appears that Tesla could produce and deploy Cybercabs above the 2,500-vehicle cap only if the vehicle fully complies with all applicable FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards). If Tesla certifies compliance, the exemption system - and its 2,500-vehicle annual limit - is irrelevant. Tesla can scale far beyond 2,500 per year if Cybercab: 1) Meets all crashworthiness standards. 2) Meets all remaining FMVSS (lighting, glazing, braking, occupant protection, etc.). 3) Self-certifies like any normal vehicle. This rule (see linked post below) helps because it removes barriers tied to having no steering wheel. If Cybercab is engineered for compliance from day one, the 2,500 limit never matters. The rule explicitly acknowledges vehicles designed to operate solely by ADS may have no manually operated driving controls (including steering). Standards written around steering controls simply don’t apply and manufacturers do not need to add redundant manual controls just to comply (sorry @farzyness). If a vehicle has no steering control system, these standards effectively drop out: FMVSS 203 – impact protection from the steering control system FMVSS 204 – steering control rearward displacement Because there is no component to regulate. Removing the wheel does NOT relax safety standards. Vehicles without steering wheels must still meet: - FMVSS 208 (airbags, restraints) - FMVSS 214 (side impact) - FMVSS 226 (ejection mitigation) - Other crashworthiness rules Dual-Mode Vehicles Follow Different Rules If a vehicle has manual controls (even stowable), then the seat with access to them is still regulated as a driver position. So, removing the wheel entirely results in a simpler compliance path. Whereas stowable controls results in more regulatory complexity. There is no “steering wheel rule.” There is only a compliance rule - and post-2022, a driverless vehicle with no steering wheel is fully permissible under FMVSS if it meets all other safety standards.

Why Tesla can produce more than 2,500 Cybercabs per year — even without a steering wheel: Many traditional FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) were written decades ago for cars with human drivers and literally assume the presence of manual controls. Without them, full

Elon Musk@elonmusk·
This will be big
Teslaconomics@Teslaconomics

I don’t think people truly understand what’s about to happen with 𝕏 Money. This is Elon going back to his roots - back to x.com - and building what he always wanted in the first place: one place that runs your entire financial life. When he rebranded Twitter to 𝕏 in 2023, he said straight up that we’re adding the ability to conduct your entire financial world. He even said you may not even need a traditional bank account. Most people brushed that off. And now it’s becoming real. 𝕏 Money has already been live in closed beta internally within the company. A limited external beta is expected soon, and they’ve already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states plus DC. 𝕏 Payments is registered with FinCEN. Visa is officially partnered. You’ll be able to fund your wallet instantly, send peer-to-peer payments, move money to your bank, and eventually use a debit card. And I think this is just the beginning. This will probably start as a simple wallet where you can send money as easily as sending a DM. With this technology, you can pay creators, pay subscriptions, pay whatever bills, shop inside the app, get paid inside the app, and much more. Then, there will be high-yield savings, you can invest, you can get loans, have money market accounts, maybe even treasury access, cool smart cashtags that let you see live stock prices in your timeline and execute trades seamlessly, crypto integration, potentially full asset management… the list goes on and on… Elon literally said this is meant to be the central source of ALL monetary transactions. Bro… think about that for a sec. Your 𝕏 profile becomes your financial identity. Everyone you follow is already there. Everyone you interact with is already there. That social graph becomes your distribution engine. Like, you won’t need a separate banking app, no need for a separate investing app, no need for a separate payment app… this all lives where you already spend your time. Right here on 𝕏. Look at WeChat in China, which Elon always alluded to. Payments, messaging, shopping, investing - all integrated in one app. It handles $ trillions in volume and became deeply embedded in everyone’s daily life. Now 𝕏 is building the Western version of that, but with a more global reach, and xAI’s AI layered on top of all this. Before you call me crazy, you have to understand how big this opportunity is. Digital payments globally are measured in the tens of $ trillions of dollars annually. Even just capturing a small slice of that across hundreds of millions, and eventually a billion, users can change everything. 𝕏 already has the audience. That lowers customer acquisition costs significantly. Add fintech revenue on top of ads, plus float, plus lending, plus investing tools, and we’re talking about a completely different valuation profile. Now, $44B for this company looks like the bargain of the decade… this was one of the main reasons I invested in 𝕏. And if they execute the way they’ve executed at Tesla and SpaceX, this could truly fundamentally redefine how people handle $ . Most people today still see 𝕏 as just a social media app. I see it as the foundation of a financial system layered on top of a global network. Ultimately becoming the “everything” app. And this I believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Elon is calling this a game-changer. I believe him.

@emkenobi Do you actually think a congressional representative has the power to arrest a sitting president? POTUS cannot be charged with any crime while in office. He should be impeached and removed from office. Then charged.

ELON MUSK: "If civilization continues, A.I in space is inevitable. In order to achieve any meaningful percentage of a Kardashev II scale civilization where you're using even a millionth of the sun's energy, you must have solar powered AI satellites in deep space. My estimate is that the cost of electricity, like the cost effectiveness of AI in space, will be overwhelmingly better than AI on the ground. You actually don't need batteries, because it's always sunny in space and the solar panels actually become cheaper because you don't need glass or framing, and the cooling is just radiative."

“14.2.1 just tried to murder my wheel”. Watch @Tesla Full Self-Driving back straight into the curb, gashing the owner’s wheel! @ElonMusk says this software will operate unsupervised by the end of 2025. Do you believe him? x.com/scotsrule08/st…

@GerberKawasaki Get your cameras cleaned at a service center. Offgassing causes this problem of cloudy camera visibility. The issue you are claiming isn't real.

Constant issue with tesla FSD and sun every morning and afternoon. I drive PCH into the sun both ways. FSD gives me errors everyday... there is no dirt on the cameras. They are clean. This needs to be addressed. And 14.2.1 has issues that 14.2 didn't have. This is not resolved. $tsla

@elonmusk Long time Tesla owner/investor here. 2 small issues. 1. Can we please get a proper rain sensor? The wipers still don't work well after years. And can we get the passenger side lumbar added back to the cars? Sure people set it once but they feel it all of the time.

@PolitiReality I'm not surprised that you are not surprised. You have already formed an incorrect and biased opinion of Tesla and now look for anything to confirm your own bias no matter how poor the source.
