Agree this type of thing has to stop.
I’ll also say, this happens to a lot of founders bc they hire a CEO and take their finger off the pulse. They don’t have conversations with execs and the CEO will stonewall information By saying if you go around me I won’t work with you. Happens all the time. Not saying it’s happening here but the reality is founder can delegate responsibility but they can’t delegate accountability. Ultimately, if you had your finger on the pulse, this CEO would’ve been fired a long time ago. We definitely need to trust our leaders. But we also need to continually verify they are leading and holding the standard. Trust, but always verify. Most won’t tell you this. Take it or leave it. Hope it helps . Praying for your daughter.🙏
@SanUvacha@samstein That same General has “soldiers” he leads who get kicked out for being overweight and not meeting the physical standards. Standards are standards. Just bc someone is in a position of authority doesn’t exempt them from meeting the standard.
RFK Jr: "We've recently uncovered that more than 36,000 doctors had their Medicare reimbursements altered based upon childhood vaccination rates. That's not medicine. That's coercion."
🎯 Target Unlocked! 10,000 users and counting at Trustyfy!
Thank YOU for being part of this massive milestone!
Let's celebrate by introducing financial freedom to more users with Trustyfy! 💪
🎯 Target Unlocked! 1,500 #crypto-friendly #bank accounts opened on our platform.
Why do we talk about bank accounts if our core is #bankless software? Easy! People still buy pizza in dollars (or euros, or pesos, and such). For the blockchain to go mainstream, we must build software for the mainstream users. Most users need to convert crypto in fiat and vice versa. In Trustyfy you just need a couple of clicks.
Have a look yourself (Link in the first comment👇)
3 - 2 - 1 and ... we are out of stealth mode!
Today, 2,812 paying customers from 19 countries (and many more free users) got their fully #bankless account.
Plus crypto-friendly credit cards and many bank accounts, to bridge the traditional world and the blockchain.
Godspeed!
Everything Elon said about Optimus on the Q4 2024 earnings call:
⦿ I see a path for Tesla to be the most valuable company in the world, possibly bigger than the next five companies combined, overwhelmingly due to autonomous vehicles and autonomous humanoid robots.
⦿ The training compute needed for Optimus will ultimately probably be 10× what is needed for cars. Humanoids likely have 1,000× more useS than a car, which doesn't mean training scales by 1,000×, but probably close to 10×. The training compute will scale progressively as Optimus becomes more productive.
⦿ Long-term, Optimus has the potential to generate $10 trillion in revenue. In that scenario, we can support a lot of training compute. Even $500 billion in training compute is a good deal (chuckles).
⦿ There's a lot of uncertainty with timing because several aspects are being iterated simultaneously. The internal plan is for roughly 10,000 robots to be built this year, but we'll more likely produce several thousand.
⦿ I'm confident those several thousand robots will be able to do useful things.
⦿ The lessons from Production V1 will inform the changes in Production V2, which we expect to launch around mid-next year.
⦿ Our goal, aspirationally, is to ramp 10× every year, but perhaps we end up with 5× growth per year. With that kind of growth, it won't be many years before we're making 100 million robots a year.
⦿ The off-the-shelf components didn't work well, so we had to design everything in-house, including the most sophisticated hand ever made. Optimus will be able to play a piano and thread a needle.
⦿ My long-term prediction is that Optimus will overwhelmingly be the value of the company.
⦿ Optimus is not design-locked. It is rapidly evolving in a good direction. Tesla has by far the best humanoid robotics engineers in the world. Tesla also has all the other necessary ingredients: battery pack, power electronics, charging, communications, real-world AI, and the ability to scale production.
⦿ What other companies are missing is real-world AI and the ability to scale to millions of units a year.
⦿ This year, we aim to use Optimus internally at Tesla. We can easily use several thousand robots at Tesla for repetitive tasks, such as loading sheet metal at the welding line.
⦿ The Production V1 line is roughly 1,000 units per month. The Production V2, launching around mid-next year, will be for 10k units per month. The line after that will be for 100k units a month. Of course, it takes time for any given line to reach its maximum potential.
⦿ A very rough guess: we'll start delivering Optimus to companies outside of Tesla in the second half of 2026. The ramp is going to be exponential, and demand will not be a problem.
⦿ Once we're above 1 million units per year, the production cost of Optimus will be less than $20,000. Its total mass and complexity are much lower than a car. At a similar production volume to the Model Y, Optimus should be about half the cost of a Model Y.
⦿ The price is a different matter than cost. The price of Optimus will be set by market demand.
[This is by far the longest Elon has ever spent discussing Optimus on an earnings call.]
Ron Wyden (D) just claimed that RFK Jr, “is…someone who chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if that may mean the tragic death of children and other vulnerable people.”
Wyden has received 1.5 million from the health care industry.
Notable donors include, Molina Healthcare, Quest Diagnostics, and Novo Nordisk.
