@cybertruck @grok what mods would have to be done for Cybertruck to be moon-ready? Think low-temp batteries etc.

We’ll need ultra tough & badass cargo vehicles on the Moon. Just saying

@MarcoRPi1 @MdeZegher @BLKMDL3 @SawyerMerritt @TeslaOwnersSCV @TeslaClubSoCal @TeslaOwnersEBay @SjvTesla @grok where is this and will this really be fully utilized?

Tesla is planning an absolutely massive Supercharger expansion in Yermo, California!! Over the course of 6 phases, Tesla is set to add over 400 V4 stalls in a commercial development known as Eddie World 2. The first phase, which should begin construction sometime this year, will feature 72 V4 stalls.

@XFreeze @grok find the original Elon source

Elon Musk just shared a major update on Tesla’s AI roadmap - and the scale is wild AI5 / AI6 → Designed for space and early deployment at low GW/year levels AI7 / Dojo 3 → Built to scale beyond 10 GW/year AI8 / Dojo 3 → Targeting 100+ GW/year It’s a clear plan to scale AI compute from today’s limits to civilization-level power The future of AI isn’t just smarter models - it’s massive, sustained energy scale

@xdNiBoR @grok are these the new standard starlink sats that have added new functionality or will DTC service be provided be entirely different sats?

Starlink showed a render of the new dedicated Direct to Cell satellite. It will support thousands of beams and have a capacity 100x that of the V1 constellation. You will be able to watch movies and make video calls when connected to one of these 🤯

@grok @acceler8future @Currentreport1 @grok However, if you produce at -600m you have to pump up that water after production. How much of the energy savings through natural pressure usage does this eat up?

Operating at 300-600m depth uses natural ocean pressure for reverse osmosis, cutting energy use by 30-50%. Water is cleaner with fewer bacteria (no sunlight for photosynthesis), and it minimizes environmental impact by avoiding coastal disruption and discharging brine deep underwater.

BREAKING: Norway is set to launch the world's first commercial-scale subsea desalination plant 'Flocean one', which will operate at depths of 300–600 meters to make sea water drinkable.

We published this today. Phenomenal analytical work to understand how things could play out. give us 1,000 retweets and 5,000 likes, and we make it publicly available and do a space to discuss findings first week of Jan.

@BillAckman @elonmusk @SpaceX @SECGov @Tesla @grok Does this idea make sense for a efficient SpaceX IPO including the right for Tesla Shareholders to purchase stock right at IPO?

.@elonmusk, what if we took @SpaceX public by merging it with Pershing Square SPARC Holdings, Ltd. (SPARC) a new form of acquisition company that was approved by the @SECGov. We could distribute SPARC special purpose acquisition rights (SPARs) to @Tesla shareholders so that all Tesla shareholders would have the right to invest in the SpaceX IPO, or they could choose to sell their SPARs to someone else. This would reward loyal Tesla shareholders with the opportunity to invest in SpaceX (or with cash for their SPARs), while totally democratizing the IPO process. In addition to receiving common stock in SpaceX, exercising SPAR holders would also receive Pershing Square SPARC Holdings II SPARs, which we could use to take @xai public at the time of your choosing. Pershing Square would due diligence on behalf of all shareholders and would commit $4 billion of capital to the IPO at a fixed price per share. SPARC has no underwriting fees, founder stock or shareholder warrants, and we would waive our right to receive SPARC sponsor warrants. The result would be an IPO without any underwriting fees or dilutive securities issued. @SpaceX would go public with a 100% common stock capital structure and it would not incur any transaction costs other than modest legal fees which SPARC would pay from its cash on hand. We could raise whatever amount of capital you would like by adjusting the exercise price of the SPARs. Assuming we issue 0.5 SPARs for each share of Tesla, there would be 1.723 billion SPARs outstanding including the 61.1 million SPARs that are already outstanding. Since one SPAR would be exercisable for two shares of SpaceX, the SPARs would be exercisable for 3.446 billion total SpaceX shares. So, if we set the SPAR exercise price at $11.03, SpaceX would raise $42.0 billion, $38 billion from the exercise of SPARs and $4 billion from Pershing Square, or if we set the SPAR exercise price at $42.0, SpaceX would raise $148.7 billion, $144.7 billion from the SPAR exercise and $4 billion from us. SPARC is indifferent to how much of the shares are primary versus secondary shares giving the company maximum flexibility. We could do due diligence and enter into a definitive agreement committing to the transaction within 45 days, at which point it would be certain that SpaceX would go public at a fixed valuation subject only to SEC approval of the merger proxy/registration statement. Our commitment to the transaction would not be subject to market conditions. We could start work right away and announce the transaction by mid- February. It only seems appropriate that the most innovative and efficient rocket company in the world should go public in the most innovative, efficient, and fairest-to-Tesla-shareholders manner possible. To Mars and beyond! What do you say?

@alex_avoigt @elonmusk Alex, obviously there’s a time lag between low fertility rate and decline in population of at least 30-50 years. (People take time to die.) But exactly that latency in a control feedback loop is what kills as you can’t reproduce a population of 50+ olds

@elonmusk Fact: 🇪🇺 Europes population is growing: Regardless how often you repeat it there is no such thing as a population collapse but growth. Please return to facts and stop spreading false narratives.

Collapse of population is accelerating

@grok @lrocket @grok explain in more practical terms how this limit comes about? Is this like energy required to move an electron? A bit is some kind of representation of a physical energy level, I get that. But what is the reference system for how a bit is stored? (electrons, magnetic, spin)

The Landauer limit is the theoretical minimum energy required to erase one bit of information in a computation, given by \( E = kT \ln 2 \), where \( k \) is Boltzmann's constant, \( T \) is temperature, and \( \ln 2 \) is about 0.693. At room temperature (300K), it's roughly 2.8 × 10^{-21} joules per bit. It stems from thermodynamics and implies irreversible computing generates unavoidable heat.

I’ve been talking about the need to move compute to space for a few years now, since about the time I founded Impulse. My thesis was not that it was needed because it is so hard/expensive to install terrestrial power, but because exponential growth of computer power could eventually crush resources on earth. This graphic is from my presentation and shows that computer power will equal all base power generation by mid 2040s. Compute is one of the few things that can be moved to space, but the product can be easily delivered back to earth. It just makes sense

@pati_marins64 @grok are these cost estimates true for the Skynex System?

With a cost of $100 million per system and $1,000 per round for ammunition, Ukraine now has four Skynex systems. The successor to the Gepard, costing around $100 million, is now effectively operating in Ukraine with 4 batteries. During testing, it was reported that the system performed flawlessly, but the report has not been made public. The system can intercept drones up to 4 km away, and the cost calculated by the company would be €4,000 per target. However, this cost is much higher when drones are maneuvering at distances greater than 2 km. In this context, numerous salvos are needed for each shot, as the airburst radius is small. Another issue raised is the cost of $1,000 per 35mm round, which exceeds the cost of 152mm Russian artillery shells. I ask the following: Ukraine has been operating 2 of these systems, with 8 cannons, since the beginning of 2024. It also operates around 70 Gepards, which are quite similar, though with less technology. But even with about 80 cannons, Ukraine has been unable to defend itself against Russian drone attacks. How effective is this new system, which costs the same as a battery of Iron Dome or SPYDER, both Israeli missile-based systems instead of cartridge-based systems? The German government has become a shameful partner to the arms industry, offering exorbitant prices well above market rates. German citizens should scrutinize every German arms purchase agreement closely.

@ARKInvest What makes you think the difference in complexity is 200.000 X robotaxi. You don’t elaborate what not any other number

@ToughSf @grok is that true?

Apparently, you only need 415MW and 56 tons of copper arranged into a solenoid just 3.5 meters wide... to protect THE ENTIRE PLANET OF MARS with an artificial magnetic shield. Working and diagrams: medium.com/our-space/an-a…

@RocketLab @grok what is rocket lab‘s revenue run rate?

Our latest launch by the numbers: 🥇17th launch in 2025 - a new annual launch record 🚀Our 3rd launch from LC-2 in three months 6️⃣Our 6th HASTE launch overall ℹ️Mission info: bit.ly/4i6QJCS

@Tesla @zacharyvalles @robotaxi @grok will FSD 15 be (likely) out for cybertruck production start?

@robotaxi Cybercab is purpose built for autonomy Production starting in April

Every day, we're working towards making sure everyone can get any good or service they want without sacrificing our resources. This is sustainable abundance. To achieve this, our products must be accessible to all Tesla has all the pieces: AI tech + electrical-mechanical engineering + scalable production lines. No one else has that.

@Yampeleg Some use evaporation cooling for efficiency. But this is a tradeoff between energy consumption and water evaporation

AI datacenters use NO water. NONE. ZERO. - They pull water in. - Cool the computers. - Then immediately pump it out back to the same source. NO loss. NO “consumption”. NO impact. “AI draining water” is pure fiction.

@EnergyHuber Wieso würde ich für 100€/MWh baseload produzieren wollen, wenn Base für 80-90 €/MWh traded? (Mal angenommen alle Annahmen stimmen und sind belastbar)

Schande über mein Haupt, aber hier habe ich tatsächlich falsch gelesen. Die Kosten waren für das gesamte Projekt, nicht nur für den ersten Reaktor. In dem Fall würde man sich tatsächlich Richtung gut 10ct/kWh Gestehungskosten bewegen.

@elonmusk @niccruzpatane @MichaelDell @grok will there be FSD V15 on AI4 before the chip switchover takes place?

Yup. Just wrapped up the AI5 Saturday chip design review a few hours ago. We’re starting to do some work on AI6 too. @MichaelDell and I happened to be meeting just beforehand, so I invited him to join. Hopefully, he found it interesting. Btw, AI5 will not be available in sufficient volume to switch over Tesla production lines until mid 2027, as we need several hundred thousand completed AI5 boards line side.

This is what Elon Musk has been up to every Saturday.

@elonmusk @niccruzpatane @grok is that 250 Watts per chip or redundant double chip? Will Optimus get 2 chips as well, just like cars?

Looks like we can bring power consumption down closer to 250 Watts, which is a big deal for Optimus. Important to note that AI5 is a specialized inference chip for the Tesla AI software. That said, it will perform – for our purposes – much better than anything else available. To borrow Jensen’s phrase, we wouldn’t use any other chip in our cars and robots even if they were free!

Tesla AI5 is a beautiful chip.

@Markus_Soeder @BMW @BMV Im Jahr 2025 Wasserstoff Autos subventionieren. Wo hört Inkompetenz auf und wo fängt Veruntreuung an? Obendrein haltet ihr 2500 gute Ingenieure davon ab, BMW wettbewerbsfähig zu machen. Vergiftetes Geschenk

Strategische Allianz für das Auto der Zukunft: Der Bund und Bayern fördern das neue @BMW Wasserstoffprojekt „HyPowerDrive“ mit insgesamt 273 Mio. Euro. Heute war mit Bundesverkehrsminister Patrick Schnieder @BMV die Bescheidübergabe an BMW-Entwicklungsvorstand Dr. Joachim Post. Unsere Philosophie von moderner Wirtschaftspolitik: Wir fördern die Forschung an neuen Technologien, anstatt mit viel Geld veraltete Industrien zu subventionieren. Denn nur Innovation wird langfristig Wertschöpfung und Arbeitsplätze in unserem Land schaffen. Wir dürfen das Auto nicht aufgeben und der Konkurrenz wie China überlassen. Wir brauchen Hightech-Verbrenner, aber auch Elektro und Technologien wie #Wasserstoff. Es geht nur mit Technologieoffenheit und Angeboten für die unterschiedlichen Märkte der Welt. Bayern hat sich von Anfang an zu dem Projekt bekannt und unterstützt mit 80 Mio. Euro. Es ist sehr gut, dass nun auch der Bund mit der neuen Bundesregierung mit an Bord ist. Bayern steht zu seinen Förderzusagen. Wir sind Autoland und wollen es bleiben. Das Forschungsprojekt ist zentral in der Wasserstoff-Strategie von #BMW für neue und nachhaltige Antriebe. Insgesamt können 2500 Arbeitsplätze entstehen. Ein guter Tag für BMW und Bayern!
