From concept to reality.
@SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earthโs orbit and made contact with them for the first time.
At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.
Tesla Cybercabs have officially gone Unsupervised in Austin, TX!
Cybercabs are now driving around the city without anyone in the vehicle. No steering wheel, no pedals.
LETS GO!
Tesla is using an RBG light bar on the front of the Cybercab that changes to different colors so riders getting picked up know which Cybercab is theirs.
So far we've seen purple, green and orange colors.
SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.
Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary ๐
This just gave me chills!!
Happy 250! Happy 4th of July!!

NEWS: Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss drove from South San Francisco through Oregon without touching the steering wheel using Tesla FSD.
"Am converted," Krauss wrote on X. He called the technology magical and life changing.
He also said it was relaxing and potentially life saving.
Krauss is a bestselling author and former chair of the physics department at Arizona State University.
He thanked Elon Musk directly for the technology.
His post has 879,000 views in under a day.
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isnโt a tax problemโฆ
Because my newly created โtask forceโ is going to redefine inflation downward allowing us to cut, but saying that would blow my inflation fighting credibility. LL: There, fixed it for you Kevin.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
