[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Elon Musk answers the most ambitious question: “What do we do after a Terafab?”

How do we achieve a PETAWATT-scale future built on the Moon?

The vision is to use Tesla Optimus robots, humans and local lunar manufacturing to build massive compute infrastructure, then launch it into deep space using electromagnetic mass drivers

Because the Moon has no atmosphere and only one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, electromagnetic mass drivers could accelerate payloads to escape velocity using electricity instead of conventional chemical rocket propulsion

So no combustion burning rocket fuel is required for launch from the lunar surface

That opens the door to scaling compute by another THREE orders of magnitude:

Terawatt → Petawatt

A staggering 1,000× increase in scale

Everyone has an opinion on you.

Prove them wrong anyway.

Neuralink deep dive

[Tesla Charging @TeslaCharging]

Our first Accordion Supercharger

Our goal is to pre-assemble all Superchargers in a factory. If we can't install Superchargers behind a curb, we now have a pre-assembled solution for Superchargers between parking spaces.

16 stalls per truck shipment, 20% cheaper to install, instant commissioning, highest quality.

Tesla Semi Is Finally Getting Its Big Rollout Moment 🚚

Tesla has a Semi rollout event set for Sept. 24, but the interesting part is the factory has already been building trucks since April.

The Nevada plant is designed for 50,000 Semis a year, and Einride + WattEV alone have announced orders for 870 trucks.

Now the real question is how fast Tesla can scale. Those huge 822 kWh battery packs need a lot of cells, and the Megacharger network still has plenty of growing to do.

And eventually, there’s the bigger play: a Semi that doesn’t need a driver.

Sept. 24 could tell us a lot about how close Tesla is to getting there. $TSLA

[Robotaxi @robotaxi]

Robotaxi now runs 6am to 10pm, 7 days/week

Unsupervised fleet is a lot bigger

Also, upgraded intelligence in vehicle distribution & routing means you wait less

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

🚨 It’s official the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” AB 2624 is now law in California. This bill was created by the Attorney General’s WIFE after I exposed widespread fraud inside immigrant communities in America and now they want to penalize journalists and citizens for looking into potential fraud inside of “immigration support service providers”.

Enough is enough, how much longer will you let these people get away with this? Show up to the Sacramento Capitol on Wednesday at 11am, see you there 🫡 Share this around.

Fun fact, Newsom has directed over $300 million to nonprofits while governor and AG Rob Bonta when he was an assemblyman directed over $500,000 to nonprofits associated with his wife 🤔

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

Amen 🙏

[Chuck Tierney @IrishIslands4us]

@SawyerMerritt Seems a little redundant! The best part is no part😉

[Chuck Tierney @IrishIslands4us]

Yup I’ve had a few instances that were less than desirable. My MY started a road rage incident with two morons in a beat up truck. Not cool! It also has darted into on coming lanes while passing a man walking his dog on the side of the road. It will also pass a long line of cars waiting to get on the freeway and then wedge his way into the lane at the last second. On the flip side, it avoided a car being driven at high speeds up the shoulder from behind us. I didn’t even see the car until it almost clipped the front of my MY.

@miracles7k Wind up clock weights?

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

With Tesla @Robotaxi, you can just watch Netflix during an hour long commute.

Movies even play in full surround sound using the Tesla speakers, giving you premium home theater sound in a driverless car.

[Warren Redlich - Chasing Dreams 🇺🇸 @WR4NYGov]

I started crying at 30:12

It’s overwhelming to think about the number of people who put their hearts, souls, minds and bodies into making this succeed.

Thank you SpaceX team.

Peter Thiel just named the rule that decided if Elon Musk stayed or left. It has nothing to do with left or right.

Thiel: "I've known Elon since 2000. He was never doctrinaire, but for the first 20 years, he was left of center."

Tesla. Clean energy. Electric cars. About as left of center as it gets.

Then the terms changed.

Thiel: "This intellectual straitjacket where you're not allowed to have ideas. Even if you agree with 80%, it's never enough. You have to be 100%."

No idea on Earth requires 100% agreement. Only power does.

Thiel: "There's just no individuality left whatsoever."

Thiel: "The Democratic Party, it's like the Empire. They're all Imperial stormtroopers. We're the ragtag Rebel Alliance."

Not just him. Every institution that used to reward the odd ones now filters them out before they rise.

He didn't change. The room did.

Thiel: "It certainly seemed incredibly dangerous to me what he did, incredibly courageous."

Thiel: "Elon gave people a great deal of cover."

Not because he won the argument. Because he went first.

The straitjacket only holds you if you believe you need permission.

Everyone still wearing one is calling it a coat.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Just follow SpaceX if you want news about our company

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Here are the latest numbers from Bernie Sanders' "Fighting Oligarchy" tour:

$562,117 on 11 private jet trips.
$29,064 on 4-star hotels.
$16,633 on drivers and limos.

It's more like the "Fighting Economy Class" tour. The hypocrisy is unmatched!

Delta rejected adopting SpaceX's @Starlink on its fleet because it wanted to provide internet connectivity to passengers via the Delta Sync portal, instead of the Starlink-branded portal. Delta has since chosen to partner with Amazon's LEO.

This will result in Delta falling behind many of its competitors in offering high-speed WiFi onboard, as many other carriers are already offering or installing Starlink, whereas Amazon's LEO airplane WiFi for Delta is still a couple year away (or more).

Satellites currently in orbit:
• SpaceX's Starlink: 10,400
• Amazon's LEO: 300

(Delta rejection info according to Ron Baron)

[America @america]

Vice President JD Vance: “We're announcing that the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California and the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously.”

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.
