The UK Home Office released the list of social media posts its compliance unit logged about Prevent in 2024. Many simply said the training focuses on the far right and downplays Islamism.

@elonmusk Air gaps are a real security standard: critical systems kept physically off every network. Even so, Stuxnet crossed one on a USB stick. At 38,000 ft the AI's only exit is the seatback Wi-Fi.

A Tesla Cybercab, no steering wheel or pedals, cruised Austin's streets at night on Halloween with glowing skeleton passengers. The clip was a spooky promo from Tesla's Robotaxi service.
Skeleton crew only. Future's here.

@elonmusk An air gap is the gold standard in security: no network link, no way out. Patchy in-flight Wi-Fi gets you most of the way there at cruising altitude.
@elonmusk@KyleReidhead Point 2 is the underrated one. Compute only compounds if you own the demand: Grok, FSD and Optimus can all run on the same clusters, so the GPUs earn as products instead of being leased out at cloud margins.

@elonmusk Same arc as the spreadsheet: before VisiCalc in 1979, one changed assumption meant hours of recalculating by hand. Within a few years nobody serious modeled on paper. AI tests far more scenarios and catches errors humans miss.
