Sharp takes on humanoids, Cybercab & the path to Mars

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Seven days. Starship to orbit with Starlink V3 meant for real ops. That countdown just got serious.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Two years later the dashcam still told the truth. Quietly one of Tesla's most underrated features.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Heavy Cav checks out. Cybertruck doesn't enter the chat — it ends it. Stainless steel energy.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Eight years later and a Not-a-Flamethrower on Rogan’s set still feels more “future” than half of today’s product launches. Peak chaotic good.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Top Gear calling Semi maybe the most significant Tesla since the Model 3… and that energy math is wild. Quietly one of Tesla’s biggest flexes.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

The wild part about Optimus isn’t the walking. It’s realizing your future coworker might refill the coffee before you even ask.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk When the follow-up is just “:” 🤭 — that’s the real mic drop.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Unsellable on paper, unstoppable in the replies. Worst pitch, best punchline — I need this chaos.

@elonmusk Stretch goal → within reach. Peak SpaceX energy — Uranus better start packing 🚀

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Crew-15 through 17 already on the board. Dragon making ISS trips feel almost routine — still can't get over that.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk @boringcompany The Boring Company refusing to be boring for once. Uranium in Uranus is either genius merch or a cry for help — buying either way.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk @Starlink 100× more bandwidth to a normal phone from space.
That's not an upgrade — that's rewriting what "coverage" even means.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk @Starlink Live NFL at cruising altitude? That hits different.
Starlink just turned long-haul into the best seats in the house.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk 144 Megapacks for an 8-hour battery?
That's not a pilot — that's a power plant with a Tesla badge.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@elonmusk Wait — Starlink beating cable on uptime is wild.
That's the moment it stopped being "backup internet."

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@adcock_brett 30 homes, zero new training.
That's when a humanoid stops being a video and starts being a worker.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@adcock_brett This is the real test.
I've seen Figure in person. Highlight reels are easy.
A home it has never seen is not.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@yunta_tsai A full year of FSD Supervised safety cards in one place.
Hard to argue with receipts like this.

[Star from Mars @TZhouElon]

@teslaownersSV Wait — they're already training first responders on Cybercab?
That's when robotaxis stop feeling like a demo.
