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.

@SamuelD2022 @Tesla @fsd_tesla Astonishing!

@squawksquare No it’s not, it’s business cycles.

🚨 My Tesla literally saved my life yesterday. What started as a normal drive turned terrifying fast.

I unintentionally fasted for 17 hours, took some medicine, and had a severe allergic reaction. My body shut down—I passed out while driving on the freeway, mid-conversation with my wife on the phone.

Thank God my Tesla had Full Self-Driving engaged. It detected I lost consciousness (thanks to the driver monitoring system), immediately slowed, activated hazards, and safely pulled over to the shoulder. No crash. No danger to anyone else on the road.

My wife heard me go silent and knew something was wrong. She used @Life360 to alert emergency services—they located me within 5 minutes.

They attended to me enough for me to tell them, 'I don't want to abandon my truck here on the freeway.' So the Tesla autonomously drove me the rest of the way to the ER. I walked in, got admitted, and they stabilized me overnight.

I'm being discharged today—levels back to normal, feeling grateful and alive.

Huge thanks to my incredible wife for staying calm and acting fast, and to @elonmusk @Tesla @tesla for engineering cars that literally protect lives when the driver can't. This isn't just convenience—it's life-saving tech. 🙏⚡❤️

@squawksquare The people who had to buy yesterday sold to the people who felt they had to buy today.

@MarketCanary So you’re 100% in are you? Like last time?

[Richard D @DB75LAX]

@MarketCanary The ZBT could fuel a bounce this week but it does not negate the rollover case.

https://t.co/ks152HcHV6, which will be renamed Encyclopedia Galactica when it is at least slightly deserving of the name, is a major project @xAI.

This is intended to be a massive open source repository of all knowledge about the Universe.

Many copies will be distributed periodically throughout the solar system to preserve knowledge for future civilizations should ours perish or subside into barbarism. We take the lesson of the Library of Alexandria to heart.
