🚨 Elon Musk just NUKED this reporter to her face in a MASTERCLASS
"People loathe you!"
ELON: "I don't care. The fact that a quarter billion people follow me means a lot more people like me than don't."
"I think a lot more people hate YOU and the MEDIA than you realize!"

Elon Musk on robotaxi expansion: "We do need to be cautious to not cause any accidents; If we injured even one person, it will be world headline news. We are going as fast as humanly possible, but trying to insure we don't harm anyone at all. That's really the constraint."
The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s VP of AI, confirms the team is actively working on letting you prompt FSD with natural language.
That’s gonna be so epic. "Pull into the driveway and park behind the white car.”
So many possibilities.

If you’ve owned a Tesla long enough, you know ownership isn’t one continuous experience. It’s a predictable journey through 5 distinct stages.
Here’s exactly how it unfolds:
⚡ Stage 1: The Obsessive Researcher
Before the car even arrives, you’re deep in YouTube and TikTok rabbit holes. By delivery day, you already know every spec, hidden menu, software quirk and range comparison against every other EV on the market.
⚡ Stage 2: The Honeymoon Phase
You invent excuses for drives. Milk from a store 20 miles away? Absolutely. Every friend, family member and neighbor gets subjected to an acceleration demo. You double-take every time you walk away from the car in a parking lot and check the app so often you actually start draining the battery.
⚡ Stage 3: The Unsolicited Evangelist
You turn into an unpaid Tesla spokesperson. You recommend it to everyone, passionately defend the brand in comment sections, explain charging infrastructure to skeptics and try to convert friends away from gas cars.
⚡ Stage 4: The Efficiency Nerd
The thrill of 0-60 fades. Now you’re obsessed with watt-hours per mile. Instead of bragging about acceleration, you compare energy consumption stats from your morning commute with fellow owners.
⚡ Stage 5: The Content Veteran
The need to show off disappears. You quietly enjoy the car’s seamless convenience and genuinely forget gas stations exist, until you need a bag of ice or some gum. The best feature becomes how little you have to think about it. It just works.
I’m currently sitting right on the edge of Stage 5. The daily convenience of FSD driving me around still feels like magic.
Which stage are you in right now?
Tesla on their Giga Berlin factory:
"While Tesla is permitted to consume 1.4 million cubic meters of water per year, we only consumed a fraction of that in 2025 - about 0.3 million cubic meters, down from 0.45 million cubic meters in 2024.
We continue to find ways to minimize our water usage, including through the launch of an industrial water recovery and recycling plant on site that recycles up to 100% of the factory process wastewater."
Tesla has just launched Tesla Home, a home energy management system.
Powered by Opticaster, Tesla's AI optimization software, it predicts your energy needs, automatically adjusts your usage across your electric appliances and can help lower your electricity bills.
1) Opticaster assesses your energy usage and the weather forecast to predict your home’s solar generation and energy consumption.
2) Your system creates a plan to help you meet your savings goal. Based on this plan, your home uses solar or stored energy when utility prices are high, while your Powerwall and EV charge from solar or the grid when utility prices are low. Either way, you can minimize your electricity costs.
3) Opticaster continuously analyzes your home’s energy usage, solar production and local utility prices to improve its optimization and forecasting abilities. With over-the-air software updates, Opticaster will get better over time.
"Designed to work with a variety of home energy systems, Tesla Home connects Powerwall to Solar Panels, Solar Roof, Wall Connector and other third-party energy products, with no additional equipment needed."

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
Exciting career opportunities at our Giga Berlin cell factory!
What will you find here?
The coolest factory on the planet!
Technology that is unprecedented in Europe!
A team consisting of the smartest people in the industry!
And loads of fun whilst creating the future!
