@elonmusk Kennesaw GA passed and ordinance in 1981 and by 1985 burglaries dropped by 89%.

Interesting

@SawyerMerritt This is why competition is good. Waymo was pretty much taking their sweet time until Tesla started in Austin and waymo suddenly went into overdrive

Waymo has announced that their fully autonomous robotaxi rides are now open to the general public in Miami and Orlando. Waymo is also introducing highway travel in Miami. I’ve added the service areas below in both Florida cities. “Starting today, residents and visitors alike can simply download the Waymo app and hail a fully autonomous ride immediately."

@elonmusk @xdNiBoR @xai Humans think in pictures. If I say the word elephant, you don't picture "elephant " you picture an 🐘

@xdNiBoR The future of AI is primarily video understanding and generation, because photons are by far the highest bandwidth form of communication. These are essential tools for AGI. Worth mentioning that Imagine is positive gross margin for @xAI, not a money loser.

I'm really curious about Elon's vision for AI video generation. Elon is pushing Grok Imagine extremely hard and it is the most used tool by a large margin. Is it for world models? Are they generating training data for those? Tesla has some of the best world models in the world right now, so he knows a thing or 2 about them. Or is it something else? Gaming? Generating UI on the fly?

@Soccerdw205 @Rainmaker1973 @grok How many light years is this?

@Rainmaker1973 @Grok when did voyager one do this? I feel like I read this article years ago. Where is voyager 1 now?

Voyager hit a 90,000°F wall at the solar system’s edge. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed one of the most dramatic frontiers in the cosmos: the heliopause, the tenuous boundary where the Sun’s influence finally gives way to interstellar space. What the probe discovered there was astonishing—a turbulent zone of superheated plasma with temperatures soaring between 30,000 and 90,000 °F (roughly 17,000–50,000 °C). This wasn’t a physical wall or barrier, but a dynamic transition region where the outward-flowing solar wind abruptly slows, compresses, and piles up against the incoming pressure of interstellar material. That compression converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, driving the plasma to extreme heat levels far beyond anything found inside the heliosphere. Remarkably, despite the blistering temperatures, this “wall of fire” would pose no danger to a hypothetical astronaut. The plasma is extraordinarily diffuse—far less dense than the best vacuums achievable in Earth laboratories—so there are simply too few particles to transfer meaningful heat. The region is hot in temperature but cold in practical effect. Voyager’s instruments captured clear signatures of the crossing: a sudden plunge in solar wind particles, a sharp rise in galactic cosmic rays, and faint plasma oscillations that revealed the density and temperature of this exotic boundary layer for the first time. These vibrations—analogous to ripples on an unseen sea—provided direct measurements of conditions in a realm previously known only through theory. The heliopause itself serves as a vital shield. The entire heliosphere—the vast bubble carved by the Sun—deflects most of the galaxy’s high-energy cosmic radiation, helping protect life on Earth from constant bombardment. Beyond this protective envelope lies the harsher, unfiltered radiation environment of the interstellar medium. Today, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from home, Voyager 1 remains the farthest human-made object ever sent into space. Still operational and transmitting precious data, it continues to reveal the secrets of this distant frontier. At the outer limit of our solar system, space is neither empty nor serene. It is a violent, glowing threshold—and humanity has only begun to map its mysteries.

@SawyerMerritt So basically a nothing burger

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

@FoxNews She got nervous and stepped on the brake before holding on to the steering wheel, probably.

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

@SawyerMerritt Thats funny. They better get in line because the only company that can send the satellites into space is SpaceX and I pretty sure they're gonna be busy sending their own before anyone else's 🙄

NEWS: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced today that the company is working on a new chip/computer for orbital data-centers called Nvidia Vera Rubin Space-1. "It's going to start data-centers out in space. Of course, in space there's no conduction, no convection, there's just radiation, so we have to figure out how to cool these systems out in space, but we got lots of great engineers working on it."

@SawyerMerritt I predict that by the time uber gets to that point, if Tesla has in fact started selling cybercabs to customers, that Uber drivers will drop in droves because they will just buy a cybercab and start their own fleets.

NEWS: Nvidia and Uber today announced an expanded partnership to launch a fleet of autonomous vehicles powered by the full-stack Nvidia Drive AV software across 28 cities and four continents by 2028, beginning with Los Angeles and San Francisco in the first half of 2027. "This Drive Hyperion-powered fleet will tap into NVIDIA Alpamayo open models and the NVIDIA Halos operating system to accelerate the development and deployment of safe, scalable robotaxi services worldwide."

@iamkylesteiner @SawyerMerritt Congrats! I'm on my 4th since 2020. On my 3rd M3P and a MY Juniper 😆

After many years of combing through X posts, and following @SawyerMerritt for insight and education, I finally did it.

@_northwords @Dr_TheHistories Its the Mandela effect but they both ended up in the same parallel universe. Somewhere in a parallel universe one vanished into thin air.

But wait..... The Shared Surgery: In 2015, both men underwent Tommy John surgery (elbow reconstruction) performed by the same doctor, Dr. James Andrews. The Mix-Up: The two first realized they had a lookalike when a doctor's office called one of them asking when he was coming in for surgery—not realizing he had already had it, and that it was actually the other Brady Feigl in the office.

There are two nearly identical, yet unrelated, minor league baseball pitchers who share the same height (6'4"), same red hair, same black rimmed glasses, and even the same name, Brady Feigl. The coincidence became so surreal that it caught national media attention. Both pitchers were drafted just a year apart — one out of Mount Olive College in North Carolina, the other out of the University of Mississippi — and both spent time grinding through the same minor league circuits. At one point, when one Brady was traded within the Oakland A’s system, the other was also pitching in affiliated ball, which only amplified the confusion online. Their baseball cards circulated side-by-side on social media, sparking conspiracy theories that they were secretly the same person living a double life. To settle the speculation, a DNA test was reportedly conducted. The result confirmed what paperwork already showed: no biological relationship whatsoever. Even more bizarre, both have engineering backgrounds. One studied mechanical engineering before turning fully to baseball, adding another unexpected overlap to the list. The odds of two unrelated professional athletes sharing the same uncommon name and nearly identical physical traits are astronomically small, making this one of the strangest coincidence stories in modern sports. © Reddit #drthehistories

@BarackObama @redistrictact Stfu. Stop trying to gaslight Americans with your bs. No one is falling for it.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @RedistrictAct and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact…

@elonmusk Oh, I'm going 😂

SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩

@SawyerMerritt Here goes nothing 🙏

I’m now maxed out on referrals for the rest of the year. Time to help you guys get some Tesla referrals! Drop your referral links below and I’ll send people asking for a code to the comment section to select one. Won’t be able to help everyone, but will do what I can. For those curious, here's what people ordered using my code: • Model Ys: 6 • Cybertrucks: 3 • Model 3: 1

@TeslaJoy Bookmark this. Tesla WILL upgrade HW3 for fully paid customers 👌

For those who still think Tesla will upgrade hw3 cars to hw4 or later boards, here are reasons why they won’t do it. 1. HW upgrade is much much more difficult and costly. They can’t mass produce it to make it cost effective and they have to redesign the board with all the components to make it fit into a different footprint inside older vehicle platforms and be backward compatible. The whole process and supply chain will just be super expensive from design, procurement, prototype, test, validation, and production. It’s not feasible to meet backward compatibility by doing a hardware swap. If you’re keeping your car for less than 5 years, sure buy out FSD now then move on to sub when you get a new Tesla. But if you want to keep your car for longer than 5 years (like me), best do sub. 2. Also, labor costs required to bring all the hw3 cars in Tesla service doing hw upgrade will be too high. It will jam up the service queue and cause long delays. They did this for my hw2.5 upgrade to hw3 in 2019. It took them almost a week to give my car back to me. They ran into issues during the upgrade and had to halt all upgrades for everyone because of the issues they found with my car. It was a nightmare. Plus, I was lucky enough to have gotten my hw upgrade in an early wave. There were people waiting for months to get the hw upgrade done and were mad.

@TrevorScottReal When I totaled my 2020 M3 the insurance payed me more for the value of FSD. I actually profited but this was in 2021 when the prices were going through the roof even for a used one.

Wait…. So if my car with FSD gets totaled, I will basically just lose the $10,000 FSD purchase. Confused by this.

@Tuggernutz87 @ChuckCook If this technology is truly to save lives then they should keep it a $99. More than that and it just starts to sound like it's all about how much they can milk out of customers.

I think Elon needs to be cautious with the price. The younger generation has subscription fatigue. They are dumping as many as they can. Even if the self driving is amazing people can only bare so much dollar and cents wise unless you want keep it niche. Let’s say it’s $200. If arent offsetting the insurance cost people arent going to pay that in numbers. Thats proven by the take rate for Supervised at $99. You want people to throw another $200 on a $500 to $600 car paymet? Stop the madness

I'm not sure how this will play out. We don't have all the information yet. I disagree with charging a subscription for the most basic ADAS feature—lane keeping—which is standard on every other vehicle type sold. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) isn't competitive as a base ADAS feature. The February 14 deadline for outright FSD purchase at $8,000 has become a line in the sand. I know this will create FOMO, like when it jumped to $15,000 and seemed poised to keep rising. The market is elastic, but there's a minimum affordability threshold. The bottom can't keep rising, as many just can't afford it or won't pay for it. FSD Supervised or equivalent needs to be included without monthly fees—it makes sense for the brand. I fear this is just an iteration to test market pricing as we approach unsupervised. If you're in the market for a Tesla, don't forget to use a referral code from a friend or family member. If you don't have access to one, you can use mine or one from my subscribers. Veterans and first responders, remember your additional discounts through ID.me. tesla.com/referral/charl…

@tradewithmaxx @teslaeconomist

How can anyone afford to retire? My dad worked 25 years at the chemical factory Did all the right things Lived within his means, contributed to his retirement, and took on extra shifts And now, just one bad option trade I made from a strategy I learned from TikTok cut his 401k in half Now he can’t afford to retire or even buy his medicine Millions of others are in this exact same situation

@Techgnostik @TSLAFanMtl I agree. How is he making the roads maximally safer if he makes it too expensive for people to afford it? Not everyone is going to be willing to add their vehicle to the fleet of robotaxis in order for it to pay for itself.

@TSLAFanMtl I don't think prices will go up as adoption does. They will go for max adoption, which likely means it'll become more affordable.

Bull case = he expects FSD to see a huge jump in performance in the next month, which will cause a huge increase in FSD demand...and Tesla will increase price of monthly subscription to capture a lot more value over a longer period of time. Bear case = very few people are paying $8k upfront anymore since the subscription option is so much more economical at $100/month...so may as well delete the option to buy.
