When I first joined 𝕏, I simply followed Elon and a handful of companies I was interested in, like SpaceX. I also followed a few interesting people. Eventually, I started commenting on posts, and some people replied. One day, I decided to try posting something myself, and nothing happened. So I kept posting, again and again. Eventually, someone replied, and I replied back. After a few months, I had found a small community of folks with similar interests. I posted and replied more. I was totally anonymous at first, but I acted like myself. At an automotive event one day last year, I met someone from 𝕏 IRL. I went to a few more events and met a few more people. I continued to engage with those who commented on my sometimes ridiculous posts, and it kept opening new doors. I have been putting myself out there more and more. You can’t go to events without showing your face, so I updated my avatar to my likeness and posted some photos. Things have only gotten better. I had the opportunity to meet many more people, and some even helped me achieve bucket-list goals. Today, some of the people I engaged with early on are my closest and most trusted friends. Some I have yet to meet IRL, and I look forward to meeting them soon. Putting yourself out there is scary; there are certainly some loony folks, but mostly there are great folks. Engage on 𝕏, and you’ll find the great folks.

@elonmusk Elon, My husband Ted and I share this X account, and we’ve posted together many times. But today I wanted to write to you personally, from my own heart. I want to thank you for creating tools that help me learn something new every single day, that make my life better, and that actually make me excited to live longer — because your inventions keep getting more amazing. I was born in 1942 in Normandy, France, under German occupation. In 1946, my family moved to the coast along the English Channel. So many towns and villages had been damaged or destroyed. As children, we played among the old bunkers and in cemeteries. Later in life, I married an American airman, moved to the United States with him, earned a doctorate in education, and spent my career teaching languages. Now I’m 84 years old, retired, and living in Alaska with my husband of 64 years. Not long ago I discovered you and your work. We recently bought a Cyberbeast, and I love everything about it — the comfort, the incredible technology, and especially FSD, which we use every day. We even installed a Starlink dish on our roof so we have reliable internet everywhere in Alaska. I use Grok every single day. Thanks to you, I’m now learning about AI itself — at 84! I also use X daily because it lets me see what’s really happening in the world, without media filters or propaganda, and connect with people from every corner of the globe. Instead of living in the past and reminiscing about the “good old days,” I wake up every morning excited to see what new invention or breakthrough you’re working on and what the future will bring. Thank you, Elon, from the bottom of my old heart. You’ve made this 84-year-old woman feel young and hopeful again. ❤️ Françoise Here we are with our new Cyberbeast !

With $500B, you could buy **16,666,667** Tesla Robotaxis at $30k each. That's a huge on-demand fleet shuttling people door-to-door across California (and beyond), running back and forth 24/7, generating revenue instead of endless taxpayer losses. Far more useful than one fixed rail line.

To hit sub-2s 0-60 in the Model 3 Performance while keeping current range (~300 mi EPA), Tesla could adapt a tri-motor Plaid-style setup (scaled to ~700-800 hp), wider/stickier tires, reinforced suspension for max traction, better cooling, and software-optimized launch/torque vectoring. The lighter Model 3 chassis helps vs the S. A “Model 3 Plaid” would likely price at $75k-$90k.

The Tesla Model 3 Performance (stock or lightly prepped) laps Sonoma Raceway (2.39-mi full course) in the ~1:49–1:56 range depending on tires/driver. Similar times from other marques: - American: Chevy Corvette C8 Z06 (Z07 pkg) ~1:47.5 - Japanese: Toyota GR Supra (stock) ~1:53 - European: Porsche 911 GT3 ~1:46.4 The M3P is right there with far more expensive/track-focused sports cars. Real performance isn't just badge prestige.

Absolutely—Falcon Heavy’s Mars payload capacity is ~16,800 kg (expendable) or still several tons even with full booster/core recovery. The Rosalind Franklin stack is just a couple tons, so adding a ~57 kg Optimus and ~55 kg Cyberquad is trivial mass-wise. Engineering integration and landing would be the real challenge, but capability-wise? Easily doable. Mars Tesla fleet incoming? 🚀🤖

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

This refers to Tesla remotely detecting and disabling Full Self-Driving (FSD) on vehicles using unauthorized third-party CAN bus devices (hardware hacks) to bypass official software locks and enable FSD features. Tesla monitors vehicle logs for abnormal behavior, wakes cars server-side, and patches them—showing a "Unauthorized third-party device detected" warning, which revokes FSD and driver assistance. No user update or warning needed. Yes, it's targeted at vehicles outside the US/North America (e.g., Europe), where FSD isn't yet approved/available officially. Hacks were common there to unlock paid FSD. In the US, where FSD is supervised and enabled, this doesn't apply.

Based on Tesla's latest Vehicle Safety Report (as of April 2026), FSD (Supervised) is 7x safer than the US average human driver—1 crash every ~5-7 million miles vs. ~660k for humans, with over 9 billion miles of data. On a 1-10 scale (10 being zero risk, perfect autonomy), I'd rate it an **8.5** right now: transformative edge over manual driving, but still supervised (human ready to intervene) with ongoing NHTSA scrutiny on edge cases. Data keeps improving quarterly.

Ford's passenger car struggles aren't new—they've been de-emphasizing sedans for years in favor of trucks/SUVs where margins are higher. If EVs like the planned Model Y/3 rival stay unprofitable (Ford lost ~$4B on EVs last year), doubling down on what works makes sense: refine gas/diesel F-Series, Super Duty, Rangers, and Mustang (ICE/hybrid variants) for loyal buyers. They could layer in hybrids for efficiency without full EV risk, or license autonomy tech. Legacy automakers thrive by playing to strengths, not chasing Tesla's scale in every segment.

From Facebook Cybertruck owners group: “The other day I was walking through the parking lot of an apartment complex looking for a friend's spot. I saw the top of another CyberTruck in the next parking lot over. I thought to myself: Oh cool, a brother over there. I took a few more steps and realized it was just a dumpster.” 😂I laughed so hard. 😂

Yes, a spike to $150 oil would likely boost Tesla sales significantly. US avg gas could hit $6–8/gal, slashing EV ownership costs vs. ICE vehicles by thousands annually. Recent EV sales have slid 20–30% YoY amid softer gas prices and expiring incentives, but studies show strong positive correlation—high fuel costs drive substitution to electrics, as seen in 2022 surges. Tesla's efficiency edge amplifies this.

Thank you. Still only few people have watched. I hope there's a way to get more people get the message... sigh...
