@NassauExec @BillAckman Literally directly funding terrorist, funded by the city of NY, holding flags of terrorist organizations (Hezbolla), signs calling for terrorism (“globalize the intifada”). This needs to be investigated and withdrawn. Enough is enough.

Kathy Hochul just handed Zohran Mamdani a $4 billion check, and you're the one paying for it. I will put that money back where it belongs: in your paycheck.

@SenRickScott @BillAckman Well, now that it’s funded by the city. How is federal law enforcement not involved - there are flags of terrorist organizations, signs to “globalize the intifada” which is a direct call for terrorism. Where is the FBI? ICE? Trump administration? Where are they?!

Hard to believe this is happening in America not even 25 years after 9/11. It’s disgusting and un-American. Shame on Mamdani and all of the other antisemitic leftist politicians that help push this propaganda.

@benshapiro Well said!

All the haters can kiss my ass

@WhiteHouse Now do the same to the IRGC who has killed more Americans and terrorized more people than ISIS ever did.

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump

Result of all the fraudulent court fights, organized protests, personal attacks and direct VIOLENT attacks on his companies (remember all those Teslas set on fire). Unfortunately he sees a future where this can get worse and is trying to protect his companies as much as possible. I doubt if he would have gone this way 10 years ago but now the progressive left has gone completely nuts that they are using all means - organized protests, name calling, courts, political system in the US and abroad - and not just targeting Elon - directly targeting his companies.

What happened to this line of thought?

@SawyerMerritt With the increase from $5 to $10 They should have increase to 1mb, make it useful for low data needs.

SpaceX is increasing the price of Starlink Standby Mode to $10/month (from $5/month). Standby Mode allows users to "pause" their service for a reduced fee while maintaining a, low-speed, 500 Kbps connection for essential, low-bandwidth tasks. SpaceX: "Strong demand for Starlink reflects the value customers continue to see in the service. This adjustment supports ongoing improvements and investment in affordable, high-performance products and services as global operating costs continue to rise."

Oakland used to be significantly more prominent as an industrial hub than SF. It was the main train depot in the area, port city for heavy industries, many military facilities and local heavy industries. SF was more of a financial, light industry and residential, tourist attraction - even with the Golden Gate Bridge it was never used as a transportation hub. As such it is not surprising the Oakland airport was naturally bigger - especially as a transportation hub.

The SF Bay Area has 3 major airports - SFO, Oakland and San Jose with SFO being the most important. But back in 1927 Oakland had the longest runway in the world - over 7000'. It supported many pioneering trans pacific flights and even early radio navigation development. It was taken over by the Navy during WWII and the civilian traffic moved across the bay to SF, it never really came back. Moreover, Oakland is setup more like 2 separate airfields, with the west side offering the long runway to jet airliners and the east being smaller jets and GA traffic. But that 'small' GA airport once had the longest runway in the world.

@robmaurer This one was better

FYI updated my X handle to @robmaurer from @ teslapodcast

@raines1220 Only 2 incidents in Austin since February (w 27 unsupervised robotaxis). Both were rear ended. One when Robotaxi was topped at a stop sign, one when it was stopped at a traffic light. Bottom line, Tesla wasn’t at fault for a SINGLE incident since February.

Can someone do some simple math to estimate Austin robotaxi crash rate? I think it is already safer than human. Just need a confirmation.

@thenewc0l0mb0 @PeterDiamandis 39 total. I was referring to Austin since I was looking for incident metric and the vehicles in Dallas and Houston are two new for any reports

@ranig @PeterDiamandis 39

Tesla reports one major collision every 5.3 million miles with FSD engaged. The US average: one every 660,000 miles. That's approximately 8x SAFER.

@RtaxiTracker Please redo the report for the last 2 months since: 1. Unsupervised is new and 2 months would reflect that better 2. We know Tesla upgraded software and it seems the last two months Tesla had ZERO at fault incidents. Please confirm 🙏

Tesla has unredacted NHTSA reporting of narratives Of the 17 incidents in Austin, our AI analysis classified 53% as other at fault and 41% as Tesla as fault You can read the narratives for yourself at robotaxitracker.com/nhtsa

@Wondzinski @sknabt @DollarVanDave @elonmusk @Starlink The Starlink dish is significantly thinner than legacy sat receivers so if they are replacing an existing one it will save them fuel (based on their “no wifi” policy they probably don’t have an existing one)

@sknabt @ranig @DollarVanDave @elonmusk @Starlink I'd call BS. They only change one old Sat Reciever to the Starlink, thus there's no additional drag. But of course Ryan Air never had any customer-friendly additions, they only make business with squeezing out every dollar for nothing.

Most airlines are partnering with @Starlink. The others will have terrible WiFi and lose customers as a result.

Nonsense. The numbers they published is based on classic/legacy satellite thickness. The starlink dish is very thin and would not have any impact on fuel cost (variance in weight between passengers is more significant than the sub 0.3% added fuel cost with the starlink dish). RyanAir needs to do their homework before publishing nonsense.

@ranig @DollarVanDave @elonmusk @Starlink Starlink isn’t free even if they hide it the cost in your ticket. Ryan Air estimated it would cost them an additional $100M in fuel costs alone in added drag.

@AIDRIVR I just realized that people who come from gas cars are used to having their foot on the brake all the time. Driving a Tesla is such a luxury, but it takes time until you realize it! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

*Activates FSD while holding the brake pedal* FSD: Please release brake pedal ‘Wow, so broken’ Average 📐 hater IQ on full display here

Most people aren’t using wifi on planes because it’s horrible or costs money - and usually both. People are using their phones while driving, so of course EVERYONE if going to use WiFi on flights if it works great and it’s free. Once they experience it, they’ll demand it and if they can chose two similar flights (cost and itinerary) they’ll ALWAYS chose the one with WiFi.

@elonmusk @Starlink ok settle down... i agree its great... people need reliable flights, almost nobody is using wifi on airplanes. literally 90% of people flying dont even consider it...

The Optimus v3 is not in production. Brett claims their humanoid is in production. That’s a huge difference. Also, Tesla can use Optimus in real world production environments within Tesla and SpaceX. We have yet to see figure do anything but demos. Its trial with BMW ended (likely because it failed). So, it’s not compatible. Until we see figure in ANY real production environment (even in house) and not just scripted demos - the reality is that they can’t sell it, because it can’t do real world useful work.

@wholemars @Ultraroboticsco Oh come on. Why doesn’t Tesla do it?

If they were ready to sell them, they would sell them.

It’s also a checkmate move. TSMC/others did not grow because they assumed rate of deployment would not sustain their growth due to power/permitting caps in the US (and earth in general). SpaceX is the only entity that can deploy AI to space at a lower cost than terrestrial AI. Basically, this move gives Tesla/SpaceX/Elon a huge advantage and likely breakthrough advantage to lead in AI. Be it X.ai is or inference for Anthropic/Google and others. The future growth of AI is now dependent on SpaceX more than any other entity.

REALITY DISTORTION FIELD Elon Musk is not given enough credit. He is pulling off a miracle right now - the reality distortion field people said Steve Jobs created - magnified by 1000x. ♦️Elon Musk is making all other companies and Tesla suppliers STEP UP THEIR GAME to match his ambitious goals. With only 20 GWs of compute is produced a year, Elon Musk announced plans for 1000 GW. A FORCING FUNCTION that breaks supply chains and becomes an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to every other company - they have a choice invest in growth or be hopelessly left behind. ♦️TSMC just folded - announcing significant increased investment in the Arizona fab that will produce Tesla’s chips and future fabs. Before they had told Elon Musk they weren’t “comfortable” investing more and growing faster. EXISTENTIAL THREAT Why? Because Elon Musk is solving for existential threats to his own ambitions (Optimus needs chips, xAI needs Space Compute). INFRASTRUCTURE - THEN GROWTH Also consider - Wall Street is smarter than many of you give it credit for - IE Wall Street won’t 5x Tesla, IF Tesla is chip constrained. That infrastructure and supply chain to enable exponential growth needs to be locked down first. Exactly the problem Elon Musk is solving for right now. Tesla needs the Terafab or Optimus can’t grow. Even RoboTaxis can’t. The global fleet is over 60 Million vehicles - consider how many chips it is to replace that. Growth would be constrained to 20% YOY. xAI needs the compute to win the AI Race… RERATE? Would Wall Street 5x Tesla for 20% growth? NO!!! Of course not. Tesla can’t raise money on favorable terms - SpaceX can! But Tesla designed the chips. Win/Win. Tesla and SpaceX have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. ♦️SpaceX IS raising capital. For Tesla to go to the capital markets for 50-4000 Billion is MORE DILUTIVE than a merger. SpaceX will spend the bulk of their 70 Billion IPO War chest on the Terafab - 50 Billion to start - that is existential to Optimus. It is also existential to AI Space Compute and xAI. ♦️Dilution isn’t a bad word for a growth company - if it is just as much as necessary and the money sets up enormous growth waves. Dilution is actually expected. Next: Dispelling the inevitable FUD

@wholemars Still wondering if they have any cameras on Starlink satellites. If not on v2, maybe on v3 🤔

more than everyone else combined now they’re thinking hell, why not throw some GPUs on board

@niccruzpatane Citroen had this 60 years ago and retired it because nobody used it.

BYD just unveiled a new SUV in China that uses a fully active hydraulic suspension system. The system is able to individually lift a corner so you can change a tire without any jack.
