@elonmusk The pattern keeps repeating. It surfaces in every wealthy, comfortable society once family stops feeling necessary. What has changed is how widespread that choice has become today.

This has been going on for a long time

@PeterDiamandis @AndrewYang This is the new reality. Output rises even as headcounts fall. Companies gain speed and edge. The hard part is helping people whose roles vanish move forward fast enough.

Andrew Yang on the coming layoffs.

@TheRabbitHole This reversal shows how language has been reshaped. What counted as basic fairness now draws fire. When we drop consistent judgment in favor of group based rules, individual merit loses ground. Societies feel the effects.

“If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago, and a racist today.” — Thomas Sowell

@SawyerMerritt At about 100000 dollars less than competing electric trucks, fleets see strong value. One operator expects to reduce mechanics from five to just one after switching. Feedback like this from actual users points to faster fleet adoption.

WSJ: Tesla Finally Has Its First Semi-Truck and It’s Already a Hit With Truckers. "Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. Angel Rodriguez, a 56-year-old truck driver for Hight Logistics in Long Beach, Calif., recently swapped out a 13-gear diesel truck for a Tesla Semi, which is automatic, for a one-month pilot test. “It’s just easier on your body. It’s less stressful because you’re not really having to engage the clutch and the stick shift.” Big F Transport employs five mechanics to service more than 40 diesel-powered rigs and a fleet of trailer chassis in Wilmington, Calif. “If we go all EV we will only need one [mechanic] to service chassis,” said Geovanny Melendez, the carrier’s VP of operations, who went to see the Semi earlier this month at a ride-and-drive event near the Port of Long Beach. Jennie Abarca, co-founder and CEO of King Fio Trucking in Long Beach, Calif., once worked as a truck dispatcher and her husband is a truck driver, so she knows all too well the toll a diesel engine takes on people’s lungs and hearing. She eventually wants to swap out King Fio’s 27 diesel trucks to create an all-electric fleet. King Fio already has 11 battery-electric trucks from Volvo and Nikola. But the company limits those trucks to shorter trips to and from local ports because they only have a range of about 225 miles. The Semi, by contrast, can travel 500 miles on a single charge, according to Tesla. For King Fio that means two or three round-trips a day from Long Beach to warehouses in the nearby Inland Empire or a single round-trip to Las Vegas. She has 20 Semis on order. “The Teslas change everything,” Abarca said. “It opens up a whole different type of delivery that I can make.”

@JayRobb1776 @elonmusk Lol I’m sure the US would try to keep up that’s for sure

@igniteXi @elonmusk Could be Skynet. Lol. Well not starlink but what if the Chinese did this?

Cute

This filing lands just weeks after Amazon urged the FCC to reject SpaceX larger constellation plans. Bezos is now moving aggressively into the same space. Putting AI compute in orbit solves pressing constraints around electricity and cooling that ground based facilities face. The sudden competition should accelerate real progress in space infrastructure.

NEWS: Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed an official request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 51,600 AI satellites (orbital datacenters), just two weeks after Amazon filed a formal petition calling on the FCC to deny @SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting datacenters, going as far to claim the project would take “centuries” to deploy. Blue Origin's project, called “Project Sunrise,” would include up to 51,600 satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to run AI and cloud computing workloads using constant solar power. The system would primarily use laser (optical) links between satellites. Blue Origin says "space-based data centers could relieve pressure on Earth’s power grids and water usage."

This lead did not come from the biggest budget. It comes from Elon staying focused on the mission rather than chasing quarterly returns. NASA and China spend far more money on their programs yet stay far behind. That commitment to solving the toughest challenges from sustainable energy to multi planetary life makes the real difference.

Elon does not make decisions like a Wall Street guy chasing ROI. He is driven by the mission, and that has never changed Today SpaceX is the undisputed leader in rocket launches, doing ~90% of Earth's payload to orbit. Entities like NASA, China, and others have almost unlimited money, yet cannot compete with SpaceX This is driven by the deeper mission If this was just about money, he would have taken a much safer path. He wouldn't need to work this hard Instead, he is solving the massive problems no one else wants to touch...from sustainable transition to making life multi-planetary. That makes all the difference

@atk0506 @elonmusk 🎯 100 % agree

@igniteXi @elonmusk SpaceX will exceed 1M on their own. Starcloud and Blue Origin combined is 130k+.

@Riverratt1972 @elonmusk 🙌👍

@igniteXi @elonmusk Let's get this rolling! Save the planet

@TeslaAUNZ New Zealand buyers can examine the updated model firsthand with Wellington and Christchurch locations joining soon. The rollout reflects growing demand for the refreshed Model Y and positions the country for faster customer access in the coming months.

Model Y L now on display at Tesla Auckland South & Westgate Wellington & Christchurch coming soon

@elonmusk @BillyM2k This situation sustains ongoing doubt. Implementing standard identity checks would enable actual verification and help restore public confidence in election results.

@BillyM2k The reality is that there is massive cheating. But it is impossible to prove that without ID and in-person voting.

i don’t understand why the left is against voter id while simultaneously saying how it won’t make a difference because people aren’t illegally voting so then pass the law? if the results are the same and it makes no difference, it takes away the talking point

The template produces charming stylized characters right away from basic descriptions. This simplifies creative output and improves consistency dramatically. Such quick enhancements from xAI make the system more versatile. They steadily attract more people to experiment with AI visuals.

Try the new Chibi @Grok Imagine template. It's super cool.

Fertility rates have fallen fastest among the most educated populations. That puts the world on a path where the talent pool begins to shrink. This demographic reality makes AI and humanoid robots essential for future progress. They serve as powerful force multipliers at exactly the moment they are needed most.

@ArthurMacwaters Yup

we really are here, aren't we

@SawyerMerritt The channel with 11 million subscribers tested basic Autopilot in city conditions then framed it as proof the advanced system was pointless. FSD is not approved in the UK yet. Strong pushback from the Tesla community led to the quick revision.

UPDATE: Carwow has changed the title of its video, removing any mention of FSD.

These rankings reflect thousands of blind user votes on which responses people prefer. Securing the top spot this quickly points to strong recent gains in reasoning and conversation quality from the xAI team. Public leaderboards like this are becoming a real time measure of progress.

Passengers on Norwegian Cruise Lines are experiencing strong connectivity far from land. What used to mean complete disconnection at sea has become steady online access. This maritime expansion changes ocean travel for good. It makes real time work communication and operations possible anywhere on the water.

Reliable high-speed internet on Earth’s oceans and waterways 🛰️🛳️

@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis Tesla is turning this into reality through humanoid robots and abundant clean energy. The agreement from Musk helps make the vision feel immediate and achievable.

@PeterDiamandis Amazing Abundance is pretty compelling

Humanity's greatest need right now, beyond new tech, is HOPE. A compelling, abundant vision of the future that people WANT to live in.

This is shifting the competition. Young people fluent in working with artificial intelligence will drive breakthroughs across every industry. Nations that prioritize this education today are building an advantage that lasts for generations. The real race is happening in classrooms.

The country that trains its next generation on AI wins the entire talent war.

Giga New York has switched to producing only the new V4 cabinets. That production shift pushes these advanced chargers into volume manufacturing. New stations should appear across the map at an increasing pace with sites already live in Florida Tennessee Utah and California. Only the Cybertruck accesses the full rate today.

Tesla now has four V4 Supercharging stations open across the U.S. capable of delivering up to 500 kW charging speeds. • Kissimmee, Florida (opened this week) • Gatlinburg, Tennessee (opened last week) • Taylorsville, Utah (opened Jan 2026) • Redwood City, California (opened Sept 2025) As of this week, Tesla's Giga New York factory will now only produce these new V4 cabinets, which means 500kW Tesla Supercharging stations are going to start popping up everywhere pretty soon. Note: 500KW charging is currently only available on the Cybertruck. S3XY vehicles get 250kW charge rates they already experience on existing Superchargers.
