Elon Musk on working at Tesla:
“Many people at Tesla have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.”
Elon Musk:
“I don't need a source of strength.
Quitting is not in my nature. I don't care about optimism or pessimism. Fuck that.
We're going to get it done.”
SpaceX’s $SPCX IPO is reportedly approaching 4x oversubscribed, with investor demand surging past $250 billion for what could become the largest IPO in history, according to Reuters.
The offering has drawn massive interest, far exceeding the $75 billion target, with long-only funds placing large orders.
Pricing is expected Thursday afternoon, while SpaceX execs host 300 institutional investors at a Morgan Stanley lunch today.
Elon Musk even joined several investor Zoom calls during the roadshow.
Analysts speculate this frenzy is contributing to the broader market pullback, as buyers sell other assets to participate.
Southwest Airlines will soon offer Starlink connectivity.
The first Starlink-equipped plane is slated to begin service by late June, providing fast Wi-Fi in the skies.
The airline aims to equip as many as 300 aircraft by the end of 2026.
Elon Musk:
“SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company are philanthropy.
If you care about the reality of goodness instead of the perception of it, philanthropy is extremely difficult.”
Denmark just approved Tesla FSD Supervised.
Fourth European country. And counting.
The Netherlands started it. The EU-wide push is underway. The approvals keep coming.
Europe is opening up — one country at a time.

Elon Musk on "Age of Abundance":
"With AI and robotics, this is the path to abundance for all
We’re talking about an economic explosion that redefines what it means to have a high standard of living
If you want to solve global poverty or give everyone a very high standard of living, the only way to do that is AI and robotics
That doesn’t mean it’s without risk. We have to be very careful... we don’t want to end up in a Terminator movie"
SpaceX just revealed its first AI satellite — and the specs are unlike anything ever launched.
The AI1 satellite carries 150 kW of peak compute payload with a 70-meter wingspan and 20-meter deployed height. A 110 m² deployable liquid radiator manages heat. 150 kW of solar power — manufactured at SpaceX’s Bastrop, Texas facility — runs the entire system.
The compute provider is interchangeable. The architecture is centralized. The design is built specifically for one purpose: AI compute in orbit.
Elon described it simply — more solar cells, laser links, and far less complexity than Starlink. Bigger. And built on technology SpaceX already mastered with Starlink V3.
Tesla just released its first FSD safety data from the Netherlands — and the numbers make the case better than any argument ever could.
3.5x fewer collisions.
16.6M highway km — zero collisions.
14.9x fewer emergency braking events.
8x fewer hard swerves.
7.3x less harsh braking.
Every metric points in the same direction. FSD isn’t approaching human-level safety.
It’s already past it.
Elon Musk:
“The capabilities we unlock by making space-based data centers a reality will fund and enable self-growing bases on the Moon, an entire civilization on Mars and ultimately expansion to the Universe.”
