ELON MUSK TO WORLD LEADERS: POST YOUR OWN THOUGHTS

Elon Musk said leaders should post directly on X instead of letting a team speak for them.

His advice is simple: Share your real thoughts. Make mistakes, learn from them, and don’t be afraid to be yourself.

🚨 ELON MUSK CALLS OUT THE ABSURD FAR RIGHT SMEAR

Elon Musk made it crystal clear.

My political views are very centrist. They’re not far right.

Calling them far right is an insult to history and an insult to many people. It is an outrageous falsehood.

He has been consistent.

We need secure borders.

If there is an influx of immigrants, they need to agree with Western ideals and Western values.

If we allow long term growth of people who are opposed to those values, we are setting ourselves up for civil war.

This is obvious. A child can see this.

Elon is simply stating reality.

🚨 ELON MUSK ON WHY WE MIGHT BE IN A SIMULATION

Elon Musk laid out the strongest argument for us living in a simulation.
He pointed out that 40 years ago video games were just Pong. Two rectangles and a dot.

Now we have photorealistic 3D worlds with millions of people playing at the same time, and the quality keeps improving every year.

If that trend continues at any speed, games will eventually become indistinguishable from reality. With billions of those computers running, the odds that we are in the one true base reality drop to one in billions.

TESLA ROADSTER THRUST BEATS AN F-16 FIGHTER JET

The new Tesla Roadster delivers more than 80 kN of thrust with its cold gas thrusters. That is over 18,000 pounds of force.

An F-16 engine without afterburner puts out about 79.2 kN. The Roadster actually beats it in raw thrust.

With afterburner the F-16 goes higher, but the fact that a car can even be compared to a fighter jet shows how far Tesla has pushed automotive tech into aerospace territory.

ELON MUSK EXPLAINS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT CHARGE YOUR EV TO 100%

Elon said the last 20% takes just as long to charge as the first 80%. It feels backwards compared to filling up a gas car.

He compared it to lithium ions looking for parking spots in a battery. When the battery is mostly empty, they zip right in. As it fills up, it gets harder and slower to find space.

For road trips, Elon recommends charging to about 80% and then running the battery down to 10% or lower.

🚨 ELON MUSK PREDICTED THE RISING TERROR IN EUROPE YEARS AGO

Elon Musk warned about this a long time ago.

He said Europe is seeing a massive increase in attacks that the legacy media keeps downplaying.

Terrorism and the killing of innocent people is rising every week and getting worse.

He predicted it would eventually lead to widespread slaughter in Europe.

The warning was clear and the trend is playing out exactly as he described.

🚨 ELON MUSK ON THE CONVERGENCE OF SPACEX, TESLA, AND XAI

Elon Musk said there is an increasing convergence between SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI.

To capture a meaningful amount of the sun’s energy, we will need solar-powered AI satellites in deep space. This brings together Tesla’s expertise, SpaceX’s capabilities, and xAI’s work on AI.

Over time, these three companies are coming together in powerful ways.

ELON MUSK ON THE STARSHIP CHALLENGE

Elon Musk said building Starship is something at the limit of biological intelligence. It is an extremely hard thing to make.

He called it probably the last really big thing that is not AI, and likely the biggest thing ever created purely by humans.

🚨 ELON MUSK SAYS OPTIMUS WILL BE THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPACTFUL PRODUCT EVER

“Optimus and Cybercab will make up the vast majority of Tesla’s value.”

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Optimus and Cybercab will be the vast majority of Tesla’s value.

The only things that will scale to incredible size (K2 and beyond) economically are super intelligence, robots, solar power and mass to space.

And, of course, if you have the first two, the rest will follow.

But Roadster is super cool, so we’re doing it anyway.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

ELON MUSK ON WHY WE NEED TO BECOME MULTI-PLANETARY

Elon explained that the future of humanity splits into two paths: staying a single-planet species or becoming multi-planetary.

If we remain only on Earth, every major risk to civilization is concentrated on one planet. Becoming multi-planetary creates a backup for both civilization and the biosphere.

He said we currently have all of our eggs in one basket. The goal is not to abandon Earth, but to protect it while making sure humanity’s long-term survival no longer depends on a single planet.

That is the core reason SpaceX is working toward a self-sustaining civilization on Mars.

🚨 ELON MUSK WARNS ABOUT THE END OF TRADITIONAL WORK

Elon Musk said you have at most three years left where you can still make money just by selling your time and work.

After that, AI will do most tasks. Paying people simply for their hours will no longer make sense.

The 200-year-old deal of trading your time for a salary is coming to an end.

This change will move more money than anything else in modern history.

NEURALINK IS CHANGING LIVES FOR PEOPLE WITH PARALYSIS

Neuralink is giving people who are paralyzed a new level of independence by letting them control technology with just their thoughts.

Patients are already using it to move robotic arms, fly drones, play World of Warcraft hands-free, and join multiplayer games using only brain signals.

What used to be science fiction is now real. Neuralink is helping restore communication, computer control, and interaction with the world.

Elon’s technology is giving people back freedoms they thought were gone forever.

ELON MUSK AND HIS DAUGHTER: THE FUTURE RIGHT NEXT TO HIM

Elon Musk spends his days thinking about the future of humanity and technology.

Then his young daughter shows up beside him, and suddenly the future feels very real and close.

The video captures a sweet father-daughter moment as the crowd watches them on the big screen.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

🚨 ELON MUSK ON NEURALINK RESTORING FULL BODY FUNCTION

Elon explained that Neuralink acts as a communications bridge. It connects signals from the motor cortex past the damaged nerves in the neck or spine.

He said restoring full body functionality is possible from a physics standpoint. It is a very hard technical problem, but nothing in physics stops it from happening.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

🚨 ELON MUSK ON HIS SON SAXON

Elon said one of his sons, Saxon, is autistic but also kind of awesome, like an article of wisdom.

For a long time they tried to do a family dinner at a restaurant once a week. Saxon did not understand why they were doing it.

Then he had an epiphany and said the reason people go to restaurants is to hang out with strangers. Elon agreed. You can get the same food delivered or invite friends over, but you cannot get hanging out with strangers at home.

ELON CONFIRMS TESLA ROADSTER CUSTOMER AVAILABILITY IN 2028

Elon has confirmed that the next Tesla Roadster, the one with the SpaceX thruster package, will be available for customers in 2028.

The timeline lines up with the recent demo where the car launched into the air using cold gas thrusters. Production is expected to begin that year.

This is the vehicle that combines Tesla and SpaceX technology in a way that has not been done before.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

ELON TALKED ABOUT A FLYING TESLA ROADSTER IN 2018

Back in 2018, Elon said the next Roadster would get a SpaceX option package with rocket thrusters.

He mentioned using ultra high pressure compressed air and cold gas thrusters. When asked if they could make it fly, he said yes.

At the time it sounded impossible. Eight years later, Tesla built it and showed the Roadster launching through the air with thrusters.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

🚨 ELON MUSK ON THE POWER OF FIRST PRINCIPLES THINKING

Elon Musk says physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.

This approach is exactly how he built Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI.

Instead of copying what already exists, Elon breaks problems down to the most basic truths and rebuilds from there.

It is why his companies keep achieving what others call impossible.

This mindset is one of the biggest reasons behind his success.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

ELON MUSK IN 2018 ON AI RISK

Back in 2018 at SXSW, Elon said AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons.

He pointed out that the risk from AI is much bigger than from nukes. Nobody would let people just build nuclear warheads with no rules. That would be crazy.

So why was there almost no oversight on AI at the time? Elon called it insane.

[TMW @ToMarsWire]

🚨 ELON MUSK ON THE FUTURE HE WANTS TO BUILD

Elon said he is focused on the actions that push consciousness as far into the future as possible.

He wants a space-faring civilization among the stars, where the best parts of science fiction actually happen. He mentioned wanting the Star Trek and Star Wars kind of future, and noted that Star Wars was the first movie he ever saw in a theater when he was six years old.

Elon also said his life feels surreal sometimes and that the scale of what they are doing makes him think about simulation theory. He pointed to Starship as the largest and most powerful flying object ever built, and said the plan is to launch it more than once per hour.
