Elon Musk today on Optimus robot:

"You’ve probably seen a lot of impressive demos of robots on the internet, but those demonstrations are pre-programmed or remote-controlled. There is no humanoid robot that can actually do generalized tasks.

Optimus will be the first one that will be capable of doing that, in just a demo, it’s generally useful in day-to-day life."

FSD Supervised helps save lives

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just reduced ten thousand years of human progress to a single number.

It didn’t even register.

Musk: “How do you decide what progress a civilization has made? One of the most objective ways to do that is the amount of power that any given civilization has been able to harness.”

Not GDP. Not military power. Not cultural reach.

Energy. Captured and put to work. The only variable the universe respects.

A Soviet astrophysicist named Kardashev turned this into a scale.

Type I harnesses the energy of its planet.

Type II harnesses its star.

Type III harnesses its galaxy.

There is no Type Zero.

We’d need one.

Musk: “Right now, we’re very low on the Kardashev Type I scale. We currently use much less than a trillionth of the power output of the sun. A trillion is a million times a million. We are practically nowhere on the Kardashev Type II scale.”

Every reactor. Every dam. Every turbine. Every solar panel. Every barrel of oil ever pulled from the ground.

Combined. A trillionth of the sun.

Ten thousand years of civilization. On the only scale the universe uses to measure intelligent life, we are statistically invisible.

The rest of the world argues about which fuel to subsidize.

Elon is building at the only scale this equation respects.

Tesla. Solar. Batteries. Starship. Every company he runs is aimed at the same point on the Kardashev Scale.

That’s not a business empire. That’s a blueprint for moving a civilization up a scale it doesn’t know it’s on.

The Kardashev Scale doesn’t care about your politics. Doesn’t count your GDP. Has no room for your borders or your wars. It reduces every civilization in the universe to a single number.

The universe keeps one scoreboard. It doesn’t care who reads it.

Elon builds like he has.

Forget Optimus doing laundry for a second.

Elon is talking about healthcare.

The smartest medical knowledge on Earth still needs hands.

Optimus could change that.

High dexterity.
High intelligence.
Physical help at scale.

The richest person on Earth still cannot put the best doctor in every room.

Optimus might.

⚡️❤️ A message from the European Tesla community: Your mission is stronger than the fear campaign.

Dear @elonmusk and the Tesla team,

Over the past few days, we have watched a coordinated campaign against FSD (Supervised) unfold across Europe. From Reuters reports and ETSC letters to sensational media coverage, it is clear that parts of the establishment are doing everything they can to influence the June 30 TCMV meeting through fear, doubt, and misinformation.

We are not buying it.

And we want you to know this:

We stand firmly behind you.

What we are witnessing in Europe is not genuine concern about safety. It is the reaction of an industry that realizes it is falling behind. Instead of competing through innovation, software, and AI, some are trying to slow progress through bureaucracy and political pressure.

While critics claim there is not enough evidence, the facts tell a different story.

The Dutch RDW did not approve FSD based on promises. Their assessment involved thousands of hours of validation, extensive real-world testing, and the evaluation of millions of kilometers of driving data.

For us, FSD is not about politics.

It is about safer roads.
It is about reducing human error.
It is about giving families more peace of mind.
It is about building a better future.

We experience that progress every day behind the wheel.

So to everyone at Tesla:

Keep pushing.
Keep innovating.
Keep building the future.

No amount of fear, lobbying, or media pressure can stop a technology whose time has come.

The future is worth fighting for.

And millions of Tesla owners and supporters around the world are standing with you. ❤️⚡️

My review of FSD 14.3.4 after the first 42 miles:

Holy motherfucking shit I need more Tesla stock.

[TeslaTracker @TeslaTrackerUS]

🛡️ The European Transport Safety Council is lobbying EU transport ministers to reject Tesla FSD - but ETSC is an advocacy NGO, not a type-approval authority.

The real pathway runs through national regulators like the Netherlands' RDW, which has already notified the European Commission for EU-wide FSD Supervised approval.

Belgium became the 5th country to approve FSD Supervised this week - momentum is on the regulator side, not the lobby side.

I have so much respect for the associates doing an honest day’s work at Tesla or SpaceX building & servicing cars, rockets, Starlinks, batteries, solar & many other things

@brivael Earth is so very tiny compared to space

[Nicholas J. Fuentes @NickJFuentes]

Henry Nowak was mortally wounded by a hostile foreigner, held down & arrested by White police because he was accused of racism by his own murderer, where he then bled out & died on the street.

This is an allegory for what is happening to European civilization on a global scale.
