Elon Musk on America’s critical chip shortage:
“What’s the limiting factor? We see the limiting factor as being able to make chips - both logic, memory, and packaging
There is not a single high-volume computer memory fab in America right now. Zero
Micron is building one in Idaho, but it won’t reach volume production until 2028
Others in New York are targeting 2029–2030
Even under the best-case assumptions, it’s not enough to meet the demand that AI will require
That’s why we need to build the TerraFab.
Otherwise, there simply won’t be enough chips”
Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.
Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.
Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.
I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.
Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.
Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.
Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.
Love you all! ❤️
Soon, Starlink will connect the entire planet through its direct-to-cell 5G network beamed from space
There will be no more dead zones
The next generation of Starlink satellites will deliver true 5G broadband straight to your phone.... turning Starlink into the biggest mobile carrier on Earth. Billions in cities, villages, and across the oceans will finally have reliable service
You can travel across multiple countries without switching carriers or dealing with roaming hassles. Global coverage becomes the default, not the exception
The world is about to get faster and more connected than ever before
BREAKING: @Hedera decentralization is accelerating.
Half a year ago, 17 of 29 Governing Council nodes (59%) were hosted by Hedera.
Today, only 1 of 34 Governing Council nodes is hosted by Hedera.
More council members are running their own infrastructure than ever before.
That's a drop from 59% to just 3%.
@IterIntellectus Harnessing even a millionth of the Sun’s power, which is extremely difficult, results in an economic value far more than a million times than that of Earth’s current entire economy
Tesla sales in Europe and Japan are skyrocketing
France just posted a historic +655% year-over-year in May 2026 with 5,446 vehicles delivered
May 2026 numbers are insane:
🇳🇴 Norway: +29% (3,345 units)
🇸🇪 Sweden: +71% (858 units)
🇩🇰 Denmark: +136% (1,750 units)
🇫🇷 France: +655% (5,446 units)
At the same time, in Japan.....a market long dominated by domestic automakers.......reported registrations show Tesla up 151% year-over-year through April 2026, with more than 6,100 vehicles already delivered
Breaking into Japan has always been one of the hardest challenges for any foreign car brand. Yet Tesla is doing it comfortably
Tesla global demand is going through the roof
NEWS: SpaceX's S-1/A confirms Elon Musk's 1 billion-share pay package is officially tied to a Mars colony.
Approved by the board on January 13, 2026, the grant vests on two conditions:
1. SpaceX hits "specified market capitalization milestones across 15 equal tranches."
2. "The Company's establishment of a permanent human colony on Mars with at least one million inhabitants."
Both subject to Musk staying at SpaceX through the certification date for each milestone.
The amended filing adds new language giving Musk voting rights on all performance-based restricted Class B shares from the grant that remain outstanding.
A Mars colony milestone is now a literal line item in an SEC filing.
