A short thread to tell you how our Model 3 saved not only my life, but my pregnant girlfriend Laura and our 4yo son Andrea. #TeslaSavesLives @elonmusk @Tesla

Here we go full FUD 🤦‍♂️

The @Tesla Model Y was the #1 best-selling vehicle overall in Norway in Q1 2026 by a wide margin, with BEVs in general taking a 97.9% market share. Model 3 ranked #2. Model Y (5,406 units) sold more units than the next five best-selling non-Tesla vehicles on the list.

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

Mr Crucke, à vous de jouer.

And here comes the FUD against European FSD approval from Reuters.

Well, well, well.

@Teslarati 🙋‍♂️

Who uses a Wall Connector in their garage to charge their Tesla at home?

Tesla is dooooomed...

@lalibrebe @BeOstbelgien Mais qu’est-ce que ce titre?! 🤦‍♂️

Elon Musk est pardonné : les ventes de Tesla ont augmenté de 50 % en avril lalibre.be/economie/entre…

@mitchdeg I’m really doubt that our country Belgium 🇧🇪 will follow that quickly… I really hope I’m wrong.

Reminder : tomorrow May 5, the Dutch regulator RDW will present Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) approval to the European Union’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV) meeting... It's an informal briefing, but some countries (e.g., Belgium) could also follow as early as mid-May via national recognition. The Dutch approval under Article 39 paves the way for other countries via mutual recognition or an EU-wide implementing act Let's🤞

Belgium reported 834 Tesla sales and 2.2% market share in April. BEV penetration is 37% and Tesla has 6.0% of this segment. 🇧🇪 • +47% vs. April last year and +20% compared to January the first month of the previous quarter • Highest first month of the quarter since 25Q1 (5 quarters) • Last three months +38.5% vs. November - January • Year-to-date +26% over same period last year • Year-to-date is 46% or 5.5/12 of last year's total

@va20531 @BeOstbelgien Évidement. J’ai jamais attendu au Superchargers malgré l’ouverture aux autres EV et j’ai été redirigé 1 seule fois pour affluence lors d’un roadtrip et ce automatiquement par la navigation.

Je reviens d’un road trip en France - Espagne et Portugal. Voilà à quoi ressemblaient tous les chargements. TOUS. Parfois une ou deux voitures mais jamais de file. Encore des mensonges et du bashing anti électrique primaire…

@va20531 Des champions mais je te garantis que les potes de GLB, lui en particulier, préfèrent les voitures qui font vroom vroom… pas certain que ce soit mieux. J’espère que JL Crucke saura emboîter le pas.

Et notre génie Giki qui était contre ça… Lui et ses « chimères » du passé nous coûtent très très cher. Combien encore son salaire brut mensuel actuel comme Président de la mutuelle chrétienne ?!

my parents bought a tesla model 3 and there's nothing else like it. the most astonishing capability is self-driving. their tesla can drive them from their driveway to their destination, including parking in a busy parking lot, without disengaging once. comparing Tesla's self-driving to other automakers is like comparing an iPhone 17 to one of those grey brick phones from the 80s. it's kind of embarrassing. a week before they bought the tesla, my dad told me he didn't think he'd be driving much longer since he's pretty old. the tesla just extended his independence by years. feeling grateful for all tesla has done.

Best bit of choreography I’ve seen since “Dead Dreams Of Monochrome Men” ‘89 by DV8… GENER8ION. STORM feat. Yung Lean.

If you add V2G to it (and this is increasingly becoming a reality) you can turn electric cars from a problem into an active solution. (Also: electric cars help to use solar and wind better and don't use oil that we buy from Putin and that contributes to global warming.)

C'est moi ou ça sent le "on va découvrir des cadavres et on ne saura pas se permettre de nationaliser les centrales, faute de budget"... ?

@RAHMANMEHDI1 En Wallonie, on n'a pas encore de prix dynamiques... la Belgique, quoi.

J’ai ma facture d'électricité en engie dynamique en Belgique pour avril: 25 cents le kWh tout compris. Ça baisse de plus en plus (j'étais à 30 en décembre et janvier). 182 euros pour 714 kWh. Quand je pense que les fixes sont a 40 et les variables presque aussi chers. @HardyRoland2 @mathieu_gillion @lucberger @robin_molenbeek

@KRoelandschap I’m so jealous… how can countries be neighbors, half of the people speaking the same language and be years behind in almost everything… 🇳🇱>🇧🇪

Completely intervention free FSD drive from Arnhem to Almere FSD is not only SUPER safe it is also super energy efficient 115 Wh/km About half of it was highway and the other half were b-roads 80-100kph Just me chilling and enjoying some beats
