I promised myself that my X profile should be 'politics free'. But its time to speak: this is bullshit. If you are a Democrat and support this, feel free to block me, we cannot be friends. Violence is not how you succeed here, its good ideas and sane leadership. There isINCITEMENT: Democrats are distributing bumper stickers calling for the assassination of Elon Musk. The left is resorting to political violence because voters are rejecting them at the ballot box. h/t @kylenabecker
- Everything about yesterday's Starship launch was outstanding, but this might just register as insane. @elonmusk everyone wants to know, what kind of camera did the work here and why isn't it a pile of ash?
00:00 - Robotaxi is live (San Jose, CA) $23.06 vs Uber's $36.96 for a ride to a downtown coffee shop.
- The final boss in Musk's 2025 Comp Plan is achieving $400B in EBITDA. Perspective: $238.24 billion: Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) achieved the highest annual EBITDA on record in 2022, driven by elevated global oil prices, higher sales volumes, and strong refining
- Replying to @RobertKennedyJrdecent, except for that part where he, his brother and son used his office to sell access to the United States... you know besides that criminal act.
- If Starship can carry 100 people, how many Optimus bots can be packed in? Serious question.
Starship is designed to carry 100 people - 10x Elon said the next version of FSD— presumed to be version 14— will have 10x the number of parameters as version 13 (including the version 13 builds used in Robotaxi). What does this mean? Architecturally, a neural network is made up of layers, and those layers contain
- Come on @Apple you can do better... this is quite ridiculous. First image show X at the top— this is clearly based on raw data. But then "Try these AI-Powered Apps" doesn't present X or Grok at all. REALLY? And then we have "Top Apps Right Now"... that seems like a curated
- Replying to @EndWokenessI believe the Dad should have been giving 30 minutes with him. Alone.
- Early version 14 thoughts. 1. We have convergence. By convergence I mean version 14 represents the convergence release, where follow-on point releases will yield effectively the solution to the problem, namely autonomous driving. Its clear. 2. Tesla is nailing many last mile
- I wrote this post because I am disappointed. I feel we've lost Apple. Apple was "our" company... my company. I started my love affair with Apple with my first product purchase, and Apple ][. Then Macintosh. I worked there as my first job. Then the Steve Jobs era, the returnCome on @Apple you can do better... this is quite ridiculous.

- Witnessing the rollout of Grok 4 this week from xAI just makes me wonder... What the heck is Apple doing? xAI went from nothing 2 years ago to the world's best AI. No company, no team, no data center just 28 months ago. And meanwhile Siri has arguably gotten worse.It was Apple, its now Tesla. Tesla leads technology: Robotics, Autonomy, Energy. Integrated hardware/software/AI. Manufacturing. Vertical Integration.
