Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI.
Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.
You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind).
This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal.
In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.
No other company can yet do this.
In 1998, Warren Buffett gave a 1-hour masterclass on how to never lose money investing.
His frameworks:
• The 10% ownership test
• Castle & moat thinking
• Circle of competence
• Why smart people go broke
12 timeless lessons from his masterclass:
1. The 10% ownership test
No car company in the world can do this today… except a Tesla. I bet in the future, Grok is going to handle EVERYTHING, just from my voice. People think I’m joking, but I’m not. The path to a voice controlled autonomy powered by Grok is so clear to me.
Senators are going home for the holidays without passing the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act. It remains stalled in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. That means your tax dollars will be sent to the Taliban even during the holidays.
NEWS: The State Board of Administration of Florida, which owns $1.23 billion of $TSLA stock, says it is voting FOR Elon Musk's 2025 CEO Performance Award on Nov 6th.
"If the 2025 CEO performance award achieves its intended outcomes, it would mark one of the most remarkable examples of performance-based compensation driving shareowner value in modern corporate history. For shareowners, it would validate a bold governance strategy that aligns leadership incentives with long-term growth. For the investment world, it would set a precedent for how visionary leadership, paired with ambitious yet measurable goals, can deliver outsized returns and reshape expectations around executive pay and corporate performance.
Critics of the 2025 Tesla Performance Award often overlook the simple fact that this exact model of incentive compensation has already proven itself twice over. The 2018 plans were derided in almost identical terms ("excessive," "outsized") yet both drove extraordinary shareholder returns. The 2012 package, contingent on a tenfold increase in market capitalization, was achieved years ahead of schedule.
The 2018 award, which ISS and Glass Lewis have criticized, required Tesla to grow from roughly $50 billion to $650 billion in market cap; growth that was accomplished within only four years, creating hundreds of billions of dollars in shareholder wealth. In both cases, the dilution effect was minimal compared to the immense value creation for investors. Musk only benefited when shareholders benefited first. The same dynamic underpins the 2025 award.
The milestones are extraordinarily demanding as they require Tesla to become an $8.5 trillion enterprise and to achieve operational breakthroughs in autonomy, robotics, and energy storage. For shareowners, this represents an upside bet: as Tesla achieves each of the targets in the plan, investors enjoy a significant gain in value. This is not moral hazard, it's alignment. Those who claim the plan is "too large" ignore the scale of ambition that has historically defined Tesla's trajectory. A company that went from near-bankruptcy to global leadership in EVs and clean energy under similar frameworks has earned the right to use incentive models that reward moonshot performance.
Conclusion:
Tesla's performance-based CEO compensation plans have consistently driven extraordinary shareowner value, far outpacing industry peers and market benchmarks. The proposed 2025 plan continues this tradition, aligning executive rewards with ambitious, measurable milestones that benefit all shareowners. With robust governance safeguards, transparent succession planning, and a proven track record of value creation, we believe this plan sets the gold standard or executive compensation.
For these reasons, among others, the SBA will be voting FOR the 2025 CEO Performance Award at the Annual General Meeting to be held on November 6, 2025."
I'll post my new TSLA price target if this post gets 200 reposts & likes or if this account of mine reaches 2000 followers. Let's goooooo! How's everyone feeling? I've missed you all!
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.
@JDVanceNewsX ❤️ Elon is the only example that I can find of a person who truly only cares about fighting for what is right and a better tomorrow for all Americans. Keep in mind, this is a man who was not born here but is so willing to fight for us.
