Introducing Agni Astra! (Weapon of the Fire God in Hinduism)
Officially a SoCal resident now: I've wrapped my first car! 😅
Special thanks to:
@TeslaTruckClub for creating the design!
@Royaltywrapsoc for install!
I highly recommend both! Check out their profiles for websites.
BREAKING: President Javier Milei praises Elon Musk and calls him “the Leonardo da Vinci of today.”
“I often find myself reflecting on my very first conversation with Elon Musk and everything he shared. And by the way, I should mention that on November 20th, Tesla will officially open its doors in Argentina.
And what I really found to be the most interesting part of the whole thing is that this is what he told me. He said, I wake up every single day looking to see what problem I can solve for all of humanity. In other words, he first considers a market of more than 8 billion human beings, and he is constantly looking to see what people actually need to have their problems fixed.
How could he possibly not be the wealthiest person on the planet if he is the one providing all the solutions? And furthermore, think back to when we were watching Back to the Future, the second movie where the car was flying, and you would say, no way, look at that. And then he actually went and invented it.
Do you guys realize what that means? There wasn't a key on some bureaucrat from the making the flying car. Elon Musk did it, I'd almost say the Tesla of today, or the Edison of today, or the Leonardo da Vinci of today.
And if I really wanted to be a bit more picky, I would almost say he's one of those brilliant Greeks who travel to the future, because in all honesty, Elon Musk is truly a wonderful person.”
@elonmusk Is there a way to harness the power exerted out onto the launch pad?
Imagine the amount that will be generated from each launch. Then think about 10k/ year.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: THIS is where President Trump is heading right now to speak — NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida
@NASAAdmin Isaacman is hosting an event showcasing the VERY BEST in American tech, including literal ROCKET CARS like the Tesla Roadster, Cybertrucks with wings, lunar capsules, and more.
47 is DOUBLING DOWN on American victory in the 21st century space race against China, and if we keep this course, we WILL win 🇺🇸
SpaceX has officially announced that it is currently targeting November 13th at 5:45 PM ET for Starship's 15th flight.
Flight info:
"This flight is planned to be the first to return both Starship and Super Heavy to the launch site for catch. If successful, this will mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch system and a breakthrough moment in making Starship a reliable, rapidly reusable rocket."
• Flight will last more than 22 hours, completing approximately 14 orbits around Earth.
• Starship will orbit at an altitude of approximately 275 km (171 miles).
• First attempt to recover both Super Heavy and Starship at the launch site during the same mission.
• First return-to-launch-site and catch attempt for a Super Heavy V3 booster.
• Super Heavy will execute launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and return to Starbase for a tower catch.
• Starship will deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit before attempting its first return to Starbase and tower catch.
• The 26 satellites will provide capacity equivalent to approximately 10 Falcon 9 launches carrying Starlink V2 Mini satellites.
• Satellites will deploy antennas and solar arrays, establish radio and laser communications, and raise their orbits using onboard thrusters.
• Satellites could begin serving customers within weeks of launch following successful on-orbit checkouts.
• Three Starlink V3 satellites will carry cameras to inspect Starship's heatshield and transmit imagery to ground operators.
• Starship's heatshield will feature improved tile retention, additional protection against plasma intrusion, and expanded use of curved tiles to reduce heating between tiles.
• Starship will only attempt its return and catch if critical reentry, landing burn, and tower approach systems are confirmed healthy.
• Multiple predetermined ocean deorbit locations and a passively safe suborbital trajectory provide contingency options.
• A successful mission would mark the first complete recovery of an orbital launch system, a major milestone toward rapid reusability.

Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone.
MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.”
“We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.”
“There is no upstairs.”
He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software.
“I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.”
“It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.”
There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.
Elon Musk just revealed an absolutely insane revenue trajectory for SpaceX: on track to exceed $100 billion annualized in December, a best guess of over $500 billion by December next year, and a trillion is no longer out of the question
"I think, just to comment on a few of those things, so we are tracking to have an annual rate of revenue, that is in excess of $100 billion in December. Obviously, December's pretty close, so I have good insight into that, so unless there's some natural disaster or something, we will meet that target. And then based on the plans that we have next year, it seems quite likely that our annual recurring revenue in December of next year will exceed 500 billion.
Now, this is not a promise, this is what I think will happen, this is my best guess. Just want to distinguish between this is a promise to do something versus what I think will occur. What I think will occur is an ARR in December of next year of 500 billion, and I simply said, a trillion is not out of the question, meaning it was previously out of the question and it is no longer out of the question, it's maybe 2% or something likelihood
But it's interesting that it's not 0%, that's the interesting part. And the probability is increasing with time”
Elon Musk just revealed that digital superintelligence will increase the entire global economy by 20–30%, adding approximately $25 trillion in economic output
And this transformation is going to happen incredibly fast
Here's the scale of what's coming:
• Global economy: ~$130 TRILLION
• Digital superintelligence impact: +20–30%
• Potential economic expansion: $25 trillion or more
• Humanoid robotics: NOT EVEN INCLUDED in these projections
And that's what makes this so extraordinary
This is the impact of digital superintelligence alone, before accounting for the enormous productivity gains from humanoid robots operating across factories, businesses and entire industries
The combination of digital superintelligence and physical robotics represents an economic transformation on a scale humanity has never experienced
And this is only the beginning of what superintelligence will unlock for humanity
Elon Musk says the lack of popularity for data centers is temporary because of the prosperity that is brought by them:
"The lack of popularity is where there aren't data centers and they think a data center will have a bad effect. Memphis is booming because of @SpaceX. The restaurants are full, the hotels are full, we're paying twice the prevailing wage people were earning before. We've also helped local schools. And the tax revenue the county and city are earnings is tremendous. I think this popularity thing is a temporary concern because there actually is tremendous prosperity that is brought by the data centers. Talk to the people in town and they feel it because their businesses are booming."
(via 33rd Annual Baron Investment Conference today in NYC)
Elon Musk in a new interview today on Terafab:
"There's three possible meanings to Terafab. One is terror. I think sometimes people ask, 'Why would you want a terror fab?' Haha. Then there's Terra, which just means Earth, but it's actually Tera for terawatt. But arguably, all three apply."
Tesla has just increased Cybertruck prices in the U.S. by up to 9% and has paused new orders for the base $75k Dual-Motor AWD trim.
New prices:
• Cybertruck Premium AWD: $92,490 (from $84,990, 9% increase)
• Cybertruck Cyberbeast: $102,490 (from $99,990, 2.5% increase)
These price increases are on top of the up to 7% Cybertruck price increases back in August 2026. The Premium AWD trim, which started at $79,990 earlier this year, now starts at $92,490. That’s a $12,500 increase, or nearly 16%.
Interestingly, while new orders for the base trim have just been paused, this trim is showing a price increase to $82,490 (from $74,990), a 10% increase, but it’s grayed out 🧐
SpaceX is calling on the FCC to END billions of dollars in outdated broadband subsidies
In a new regulatory filing, SpaceX is challenging legacy High-Cost programs that continue sending more than $3 BILLION annually to incumbent providers
And SpaceX made it very clear what these programs really are:
“These mechanisms are corporate welfare programs, not broadband programs”
Here's what SpaceX put on the record:
• More than $3 BILLION annually continues flowing through legacy High-Cost subsidies and Enhanced A-CAM
• Subsidized service areas cover just 5% of U.S. broadband-serviceable locations, based on boundaries dating back to 1984
• No measurable difference in broadband subscription rates between subsidized areas and comparable high-cost areas outside them
• Competitive fixed wireless, cable and next-generation satellite broadband are increasingly serving these communities without the same legacy subsidies
• Millions of Americans still struggle with broadband affordability, while existing Lifeline assistance remains underfunded
And this is where Starlink changes the equation
High-speed, low-latency satellite internet is reaching remote communities without requiring traditional broadband infrastructure to be built to every home
SpaceX is challenging the idea that taxpayers should continue funding legacy programs indefinitely when newer technologies and competition are changing how rural America gets connected
The message to the FCC is simple:
Stop protecting outdated subsidy structures and redirect those billions toward programs that actually benefit consumers
