Elon just confirmed SpaceX won’t buy any neoclouds
tbh why would they?

Capital ✅
Land ✅
Power ✅
Cracked team ✅
Jensen on speed dial ✅

SpaceX got it all and obviously going to win 💯

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@jiahanjimliu @GillesCapital @liamdaltonjr SpaceX is not buying any neoclouds. Pointless.

[The Sentient Sun @TheSentientSun]

lol this will definitely be a strong contender to the roadster demo as the most epic product demo ever

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@ID_AA_Carmack How about the robot is looking down while assembling a Swiss watch with one hand and then, without looking up, catches an oblique 100mph baseball with the other hand?

I also like the idea of juggling chainsaws on fire while riding a unicycle.

Waymo vs Tesla solving autonomy

Maybe it is a coincidence, but the new Houston Robotaxi geofence points straight to the Terafab location!

You can now rent a Tesla with FSD on Turo 🚗⚡️

Starting Oct 28, Turo guests in the US can search for and book Teslas with FSD (Supervised) turned on. Turo checks each car's FSD status directly with Tesla, so if it says FSD, it has FSD.

Who is Turo?
Think Airbnb, but for cars. Regular people list their own cars and others rent them.
👉 3.5M+ active guests
👉 350,000+ cars listed
👉 US, Canada, UK, France and Australia
👉 $1B + in yearly revenue

And Teslas are already huge there. Model 3 and Model Y are the #3 and #4 most popular cars on Turo this year.

Why is it a big deal?
It's the first verified FSD rental experience in the US. Turo says thousands of FSD-enabled Teslas are already listed.

Want to try FSD on a road trip? Now you can just book one.

Why is it good for @Tesla?
🔥 Millions of people get a real test drive of FSD, on real trips, without buying a car
🔥 Hosts get a free one-month FSD trial (from Nov 16), and many will keep paying to keep their cars standing out
🔥 Every rental is a chance to turn a renter into a future Tesla buyer

The best FSD ad is letting people try it for themselves.

[Turo @turo]

The future of road trips just pulled up. ⚡️
️
Tesla FSD (Supervised) is now on Turo, with eligible hosts getting a complimentary one-month trial to get more guest-favorite cars ready to go. 👀

Raptor 4 is going to be a beast 🔥

"Raptor 4 will be 300 tons of thrust at sea level and hopefully about the same mass" - @elonmusk

Raptor 3 already pushes 280 tons and weighs only about 1,525 kg. Raptor 4 adds another 20 tons of push without getting any heavier. In rockets, that's basically free power 💪

🚀 Raptor 1: 185 tons
🚀 Raptor 2: 230 tons
🚀 Raptor 3: 280 tons
🚀 Raptor 4: 300 tons

That's +60% more thrust in a few years, and the engine kept getting lighter and simpler along the way.

For scale, NASA's legendary RS-25 (the Space Shuttle engine) makes about 186 tons. A single Raptor 4 would beat it by more than 100 tons.

Super Heavy uses 33 Raptors. At 300 tons each, that's almost 10,000 tons of thrust at liftoff 🤯

More thrust = more stuff to orbit per flight = cheaper trips to the Moon and Mars.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@XFreeze Raptor 4 will be 300 tons of thrust at sea level and hopefully about the same mass

Tesla FSD is spreading across Europe 🇪🇺⚡️

"Now approved in Latvia 🇱🇻 Rollout begins soon" - @teslaeurope

That makes 10 countries in Europe that have approved FSD (Supervised) 👇

🇳🇱 Netherlands
🇱🇹 Lithuania
🇪🇪 Estonia
🇩🇰 Denmark
🇧🇪 Belgium
🇸🇮 Slovenia
🇨🇿 Czechia
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇸🇰 Slovakia
🇱🇻 Latvia

How did this happen?
In April, the Dutch regulator (RDW) was first to approve it. Since then, other EU countries have been accepting that approval one by one. Latvia is the latest, and it completes all 3 Baltic states.

What's next?
For FSD to work across the whole EU, it needs a vote. That means at least 15 of the 27 countries, covering 65% of the EU population. The earliest chance is a meeting in December.

Germany now says it supports a fast EU-wide approval. France and Spain say it's an EU-level decision.

Why does it matter?
Europe has the strictest rules for driver assistance in the world. Every approval is proof that FSD can pass them.

10 down, 17 to go 🚗

[Peter Sellis @petersellis]

I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product.

I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary.

X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful.

We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.
