The fact that you can just get in a @Tesla, input your destination, start FSD with a button on your screen, then have the car literally take you anywhere you need to go all by itself never gets old. I don’t see myself ever owning another car other than a Tesla for this reason.

This is wild. @anduriltech in partnership with @flyarcher just unveiled a new autonomous hybrid-electric tiltrotor attack drone. • Breaks down to fit in standard 40-ft shipping container. Self-deployable. • Uses Computer Vision, Passive Sensors, Active Sensors, etc. • Designed to become a loyal wingman for manned attack helicopters. • 320 mph top speed • Capable of flying at 18,000+ feet • Up to 10 air-to-ground missiles • 76x 70mm APKWS II rockets Straight out of Halo.

I wonder if FSD already remembers your preferences to some degree. In the beginning, Cybertruck FSD used to park forward on the driveway. You would have to intervene to reverse it in. Now, it reverses on the driveway every single time (so it can charge).

I spent a few hours using Tesla FSD V14.3.5 on the Cybertruck yesterday. I said this before, but I honestly think the Cybertruck is the best vessel for FSD. The way it handles tight spaces and sharp turns is impressive. What makes the Cybertruck the best (imo) is the way it can just eat up the road under it. Potholes, rough roads, whatever, it doesn’t matter. Cybertruck glides over everything. That combined with amazing car control is why I think it’s the best, and most comfortable. I just can’t get over how amazing FSD is these days. For the younger generation, self-driving will become the norm. For us, I don’t think it will ever get old.

After an exhausting day, it’s incredible how you can get in a @Tesla and have it drive you home at 3 a.m. flawlessly with a single press of a button. Cybertruck drove us from downtown for about an hour, then arrived home and reverse parked on the driveway so it could charge. Driving at night has never been so safe with FSD. I could never live without it.

I’m sorry, I honestly don’t know how people manually drive their cars anymore. Once you experience Tesla Full Self-Driving on a daily basis, there’s no going back. You click a button on the screen, then you basically teleport to your destination.

It's honestly pretty incredible how fast SpaceX’s safety systems worked during yesterday’s Starship flight attempt. All those Raptor engines shutting down in the blink of an eye. This is what testing is for. 🦾

Next-Generation @SpaceX Starlink V3 Satellite: • 1 Tbps downlink (~10x more than V2) • 160 Gbps uplink (~22x more than V2) • 3x phased array antennas • 2,048 transmission and receiving beams • 6 high-capacity lasers • 4 backhaul dishes • Made in Redmond, WA Designed to be launched on Starship.

Elon Musk says @SpaceX AI Satellites will now include batteries for power assistance. That enabled peak power to rise from 150 kW, to 230 kW (67% increase). The batteries will be charged using the abundant solar energy available 24/7 in space. This will lower the number of satellites needed to reach a certain compute threshold. Elon already has immense expertise with batteries, so this makes perfect sense (basically reduces launch costs, manufacturing volume, etc). I wonder what batteries they will use and the capacity, LFP? Probably most likely.

Tomorrow’s Starship 13 flight is important for many reasons. Elon Musk has said that after a couple of perfect soft landings in the ocean, @SpaceX will attempt to catch Starship for the first time. Theoretically, if things go really well and the risk is low, maybe we will see a Starship catch during flight 15? It will be so epic when it inevitably happens.

SpaceX’s thirteenth Starship test flight on Thursday is going to be a big one. The gap since the last flight will be about 55 days, which one of the quickest turnarounds so far. SpaceX is aiming for a monthly Starship launch cadence. They’re getting close. During Flight 13, for the first time ever, @SpaceX will deploy actual Starlink V3 satellites (the video below shows simulators being deployed on the previous flight). These satellites will enable higher bandwidth, faster speeds, and expand global coverage. V3 has improved antennas, deployable solar arrays, and high-capacity lasers, and is also much bigger thanks to Starship. Thursday will be an important day. It’s also the first launch as a Public Company.

As advanced as @SpaceX is, it’s still pretty cool to see them using basic techniques like this. SpaceX uses aluminum, zinc, and copper samples to check heat levels on the flame diverter in Starship Pad 2. The new pad is designed to launch a Starship every 60 minutes.

Every single household will want a Tesla Optimus Robot. • It can do all your chores for you, like laundry, dishes, yard work, taking out the trash, etc. The list is endless. • It will be amazing for elderly people who want or need primary care 24/7. It will help with medication, mobility assistance, and even provide companionship. • I can see it being very useful for security purposes. Optimus’ cameras could perhaps provide a live view of what’s going on, or even provide alerts. • Once scaled, Optimus will be far cheaper to own than paying for nannies, cleaners, caregivers, landscapers, etc. • It could supervise your children, tutor them, tell stories to them, etc. • Optimus could perform CPR, deliver first aid, detect emergencies, and automatically alert emergency services. • Gardening and snow removal during the winter. Optimus will free up so much of your time so you can spend more time with family, and doing things you love. It will take care of almost everything for you. This will be the most important product ever created.

Elon Musk says @SpaceX could reach $1 Trillion in revenue by 2030. Here are the current top public companies by annual revenue in 2025: • Amazon: $716B • Walmart: $713B • Apple: $451B • Google: $402B A $1T, SpaceX would instantly make it the world’s largest company by revenue. More "conservative" estimates come in at $470B from Goldman Sachs, but even then, that would still imply an 26x increase in revenue from 2025 (~$18B). As big as SpaceX already is, there is still so much potential that not everyone is recognizing. Tesla is the same. It’s only a matter of time till people realize.
