What got me deeply interested in Tesla wasn’t EVs at all.

It was AI & Autonomy.

At first, I thought like most people:
“Tesla is just an EV company. How are they supposed to compete with China?”

But the deeper I researched, the more I realized…

We’ve been looking at Tesla completely wrong.

Let me explain.

[Teslaconomics @Teslaconomics]

Just my 2 cents… NFA.

I think we’re going to see a MAJOR repricing of Tesla stock in the months ahead.

And the main reason is bc Cybercab changes the entire story of what Tesla can now become.

For years, a huge part of the market simply didn’t believe Tesla could actually pull this off.

A car with no steering wheel.

No pedals.

No driver.

Driving real people around public roads and generating real $ revenue.

It sounded too far away.

Too ambitious.

Too difficult.

Too risky.

And that’s what still feels crazy to me.

Cybercabs are now literally driving around the streets of Austin.

Picking people up.

Taking them where they need to go.

Completing rides.

And generating $ money for Tesla.

This is no longer a concept.

It’s no longer a render.

It’s no longer Elon talking about what might happen one day.

It’s a product doing the job it was built to do.

For most of Tesla’s history, the product was still built around a driver.

Steering wheel.

Pedals.

Someone sitting up front making the decisions.

That’s still how almost every car company thinks.

Build around the driver.

Tesla’s next chapter is different.

They’re building around the rider.

And I know bc I’ve experienced it firsthand.

I was one of the first people Tesla invited to ride Robotaxi in Austin on June 22, 2025.

Then I went back for Cybercab launch week at ACL Live on September 3, 2026.

Doors opened at 5.

Keynote was at 5:30.

Then the Cybercab was launched.

No steering wheel.

No pedals.

Purpose-built for two passengers.

This is not just a Model Y with a few things removed.

The Cybercab was designed from the ground up to move people as cheaply, safely, efficiently, and smoothly as possible.

And that changes the entire economics.

When the driver disappears, growing supply no longer means recruiting another human being.

It means just building another Cybercab.

Uber and Lyft still need a human driver paid on basically every mile.

Tesla controls the vehicle.

Tesla controls the autonomy.

Tesla controls the Robotaxi network and app.

Tesla controls the charging ecosystem.

And we’ve already seen Starlink connectivity integrated into Cybercab.

One company controlling the entire stack.

Now think about where this could all go.

A Cybercab eventually targeting around $30,000.

Tesla has talked about driving operating costs toward roughly $0.20 per mile over time.

Lower cost per mile.

Cheaper rides.

More demand.

More Cybercabs deployed.

Shorter wait times.

Better utilization.

More riders.

More Cybercabs.

That’s what could start the exponential growth we’ve been patiently waiting for.

And once that starts growing at scale, the economics could become ridiculous.

It’s also hard for me to see why people wouldn’t want a ~$30K machine like this.

No driver taking a cut from every ride.

A cabin designed entirely around the passengers.

A futuristic product at the price of a normal car.

Other companies are still thinking about how to improve the driver experience.

Tesla is asking a completely different question…

What happens when the driver is no longer part of the product at all?

A shift is happening.

The market spent years asking whether Tesla could actually make this real.

Now the thing is driving around Austin making $ money.

And once millions of people experience what I experienced there, I think it becomes much harder to keep valuing Tesla like it’s simply another automaker.

Cybercab completely changes the Tesla story.

The craziest part is that the future everyone argued about for years is already driving around Austin.

And eventually, I think the market is going to have to price that in.

History is being made. Sept3 2026. Human transportation will be changed forever

For all the doubters of the Tesla Cybercab, especially the ones that continuously think it’s not coming with a steering wheel and pedals… it coming on September 3rd, 2026!

🔥 When the company most obsessed with buying Bitcoin pauses its buying… the market notices. $MSTR

People immediately asked:

“Is Michael Saylor changing his mind on Bitcoin?” 🤔

But the reality may be deeper.

Strategy isn’t backing away from Bitcoin.

They may just be doing what smart companies do: survive. 💼

Strategy recently paused Bitcoin purchases to focus on reducing debt.

They spent around $1.38B buying back convertible bonds due in 2029.

That move:
✅ Cuts about $1.5B in debt
✅ Saves around $120M in future financing costs

And no—they’re still massively bullish.

Strategy still holds 843,738 BTC worth over $64B 💰

So this isn’t “they stopped believing.”

This is:

Even Bitcoin’s biggest believers respect liquidity.

For years, Strategy used:
• Debt
• Share sales
• Fundraising

…to keep buying more BTC.

That turned the company into a kind of leveraged Bitcoin ETF 📈

When BTC pumps, Strategy stock often pumps even harder.

But leverage works both ways.

Now the balance sheet looks heavier:

• $8.2B+ debt
• $15B+ preferred stock obligations
• ~$1.7B yearly dividend commitments

That means one thing:

Even if you believe Bitcoin goes to the moon 🌕
Cash flow still matters.

Saylor himself admitted relying only on debt, stock issuance, or just holding BTC forever isn’t the perfect strategy.

Financial flexibility matters.

And that’s the interesting part.

The “Bitcoin maximalist” is showing something important:

Belief ≠ ignoring risk.

Even the biggest BTC holder has to:
⚠️ Manage debt
⚠️ Protect liquidity
⚠️ Reduce risk
⚠️ Prepare for volatility

This may be a sign crypto is maturing.

Less narrative.
More survival.

Big question now:

If Bitcoin gets hit with another major correction… will Strategy keep holding everything? 👀

Saylor has already hinted they could sell a small amount of BTC before 2026 if necessary.

Not because they lost conviction.

Because reality exists.

Maybe Strategy isn’t done buying.

Maybe they’re just reloading. 🔋

As Saylor says:

“The BitVac is charging.”

สิ่งที่น่าสนใจมากในคลิปนี้คือวิธีคิดของ Elon Musk ที่ไม่ใช่แค่การ “ทำงานหนัก” แต่คือการมองทุกอย่างผ่านคำถามเดียวว่า

“อะไรคือ bottleneck ที่ทำให้สิ่งนี้ช้าลง?”
แล้วเขาจะพุ่งเข้าไปแก้ตรงนั้นทันทีค่ะ 🔥

ถ้าปัญหาคือเงินทุน ก็หาเงินเพิ่มหรือใช้ทุนให้มีประสิทธิภาพขึ้น
ถ้าปัญหาคือวิศวกร ก็เร่งดึงคนเก่ง
ถ้าปัญหาคือกฎระเบียบ โรงงาน หรือ supply chain ก็แก้ตรงนั้นตรง ๆ

แทนที่จะสร้างระบบมาบริหาร “ข้อจำกัด” คุณป๋าอีลอนกลับพยายาม “ลบข้อจำกัด” ออกไปเลย

แนวคิดนี้อยู่เบื้องหลังแทบทุกบริษัทของเขาค่ะ

SpaceX เปลี่ยนจรวด reusable จากเรื่องที่คนมองว่าเป็นไปไม่ได้ ให้กลายเป็นเรื่องปกติ จนต้นทุนการปล่อยจรวดลดลงมหาศาล 🚀

#Tesla ไม่ได้ขายแค่รถ EV แต่แก้ bottleneck ตั้งแต่แบตเตอรี่ โรงงาน ซอฟต์แวร์ ไปจนถึง supply chain
xAI ก็เกิดจากการมองว่า AI จะติดเพดาน ถ้า compute และ talent ถูกกระจุกอยู่ในไม่กี่บริษัท

สิ่งที่ Elon Musk ทำต่างจากองค์กรส่วนใหญ่ คือหลายบริษัทพอเจอปัญหา จะสร้าง process มาบริหารมัน สร้างตำแหน่งมาดูแลมัน แล้วสุดท้ายองค์กรทั้งองค์กรก็เริ่ม “อยู่ได้” แม้ว่าปัญหานั้นยังคงอยู่

แต่เขามองปัญหาเหมือนโจทย์วิศวกรรม ไม่ใช่กฎธรรมชาติที่ห้ามแตะ

เขาชอบถามคำถามที่หลายคนเลิกถามไปแล้ว

ทำไมต้องใช้เวลานานขนาดนี้?
ทำไมต้นทุนต้องสูงขนาดนี้?
ทำไมเราคิดว่ามันเร็วได้แค่นี้?

นี่คือสิ่งที่เรียกว่า first principles thinking ซึ่งการรื้�� assumption เดิมทั้งหมด แล้วเริ่มคิดจาก “ความจริงพื้นฐาน” แทนการยึดตามสิ่งที่คนส่วนใหญ่ทำต่อ ๆ กันมาค่ะ 💡

จริง ๆ แล้วบทเรียนนี้ไม่ได้ใช้ได้แค่กับบริษัทระดับโลก

หลายครั้ง bottleneck ในชีวิตคนเราก็ไม่ต่างกันค่ะ
บางคนติดที่ความกลัว
บางคนติดที่ระบบ
บางคนติดที่ mindset เดิมของตัวเอง

และบางที การเติบโตอาจไม่ได้เริ่มจากการ “พยายามมากขึ้น”
แต่อาจเริ่มจากการหาให้เจอว่าอะไรคือสิ่งที่กำลังฉุดเราอยู่ แล้วลงมือแก้ไขให้ตรงจุดที่สุดค่ะ 😊

wake up call

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this.

It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me.

Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison.

The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned.

Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns.

In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained.

Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack.

Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed.

It was discovered when I went through immigration.

At first I assumed I'd just be sent home.

Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it.

To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement.

This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying.

The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life.

I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week.

Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better.

Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream.

The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit.

The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years.

It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had.

I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind.

Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets.

I should be euphoric 24/7.

To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one.

Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident.

I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha.

My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away.

I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception.

I'm writing this to help you stop.

It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark.

But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today.

If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise.

Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up.

Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.
