A Model Y driver started experiencing a medical emergency with chest pain mid-drive & called his son.
His son then remotely rerouted the car – which had FSD Supervised enabled – to the nearest hospital & let them know the vehicle was en route. ER staff were standing by on arrival.
Doctors later confirmed the quick reroute likely saved his life.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket
I want to throw the most boring party at the @boringcompany station in Nashville, TN when it’s finished. This would be a cool way to show off the progress to the local community, along with an amazing event. Can I help make this happen @elonmusk@NashvilleScene@visitmusiccity@diplo
@redwire as the concept of moving data centers into orbit gains momentum, do you have any plans to be a key supplier? What components would you supply outside of the ROSA solar arrays?
We’ve open sourced the 𝕏 algorithm not because we think it’s smart, but to show it’s MANY flaws!
Every week, we try to make it better, not always succeeding, but to be as transparent we are with @CommunityNotes.
Like democracy, it’s the worst algorithm, except for all the others.
There are honestly some decent and common questions about the Apollo program’s moon landings that I figured we should check out ourselves. Because there’s no denying things from the Apollo program look unusual and are quite literally foreign to us in all other contexts.
Enjoy 10 months of research, work, dozens of animations, 9 hours of 6k dialogue that took up 3.1 terabytes of hard drive space and MOUNTAINS OF LOVE covering the most incredible journey in all of human history (so far), the Apollo Program.
Send this to anyone who watched the Bart Siebrel video on @joerogan, and maybe @elonmusk, you should make Joe watch this so he has answers to his questions.

Announcing Music City Loop! The Boring Company is coming to the State of Tennessee.
Las Vegas Loop has already moved more than 3M passengers, and growing. Next stop, Nashville!
Thanks to the Tennessee Department of Transportation @myTDOT, Governor Bill Lee @GovBillLee, The Metro Nashville Airport Authority @Fly_Nashville, The Music City Convention Center @musiccitycenter, and The Nashville Chamber of Commerce @nashchamber for their partnership in helping TBC bring innovative transportation solutions to Nashville.
I thought some of you might appreciate this quick reference card next time someone says "Elon has been promising autonomy for years!"
Uh huh? So have the others.
This list is based on public claims from each company. Speculation was ignored.
This was a harder problem than ANYONE realized.
And who's delivering now?
Don't bet against Elon.

Nashville recently rejected an 8 billion dollar transit plan that included light rail and an overly expensive tunnel. Think you could help us become a city of the future?? @elonmusk @MayorBriley
xAI continues to lead the way with cutting-edge technology. We have commenced construction on the world’s large ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR) to sustainably supply 13 million gallons per day of cooling water to our Colossus Supercomputer and neighboring industrial plants in Memphis, Tennessee. The Colossus Water Recycling Plant will use direct-piped effluent from the nearby Memphis’ T.E. Maxson municipal wastewater treatment plant to produce high-quality cooling tower makeup water and allow the Colossus Supercomputer to operate with zero impact on area potable water supplies – and even supply high-demand industrial neighbors at the same time.
Redwire is excited to announce that the Stalker, uncrewed aerial system - developed by Redwire’s wholly owned subsidiary @edge_autonomy - is now on the @DIU_x Blue UAS List.
Drones on the DIU Blue List are subject to rigorous testing to ensure they meet stringent cybersecurity, NDAA-compliance, and operational requirements. The Blue List selection is an important recognition that streamlines Redwire’s ability to deliver combat-proven, commercially developed UAS technology at scale to meet the Department of Defense’s evolving mission needs.
Redwire is positioned at the forefront of strengthening our nation’s drone industrial base and delivering unmatched capabilities to the U.S. warfighter. 🇺🇸

Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter in new $TSLA note: "Tesla is the only car company that is trying to source batteries, at scale, without relying on China."
"Eventually, Tesla will be making its own cathode active materials, refining its own lithium, building its own anodes, coating its own electrodes, assembling its own cells, and selling its own cars; No other US company can make similar claims.
I’ve always struggled to understand people who think that describing the harsh conditions on Mars is some kind of slam dunk argument against colonisation. But I think I get it now.
These people don’t understand what’s keeping them alive here on Earth. They take for granted the massive stack of technology supporting them - the supply chains, the agriculture, the energy production - and consider themselves living naturally in an environment they are adapted for, which is nonsense.
It’s a paradoxical sort of helplessness, assuming humans have limited ability to transform their environment whilst existing only due to a radically transformed terrestrial environment.
🔭 From guiding lunar landers to snapping a selfie in orbit—Redwire cameras do it all.
In Episode 5 of Austin Explains, Austin goes behind the scenes at our Space Camera Facility, enabling the tech behind @fireflyspace's Blue Ghost lunar lander and the SAT GUS mission with @MarkRober and @crunchlabs.
