I did not need a sci-fi truck for a dusk drive on a two-lane road outside town, but here we are. the quiet cabin took the edge off a long day. There is something satisfying about using sci-fi hardware for basic errands. #Cybertruck $TSLA #ElonMusk #FSD

Used the truck bed for the boring stuff today: boxes, mulch, and a folding table. Turns out futuristic can also be practical. Still learning its quirks, still enjoying the ride, and still curious how much better the software gets from here. #Cybertruck $TSLA #ElonMusk #FSD

This adds another piece to the overall picture.

@elonmusk Driving SF -> Chicago on self-driving right now. Absolutely game changing.

Only time I have to intervene is when I select the parking spot at the charger and it just pulls in.

[Stephanie King @corumap38]

Interesting timing.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Try Tesla self-driving

Feels like magic

🤖 Meet the robot that just redefined “footwork.” This humanoid athlete dribbles, passes, and even scores goals — all powered by AI reflexes faster than most pro players. Watch it read the field, adjust its balance mid-kick, and outmaneuver defenders like it trained for years. Is this the future of sports, or the end of human-only competition? One thing’s certain: robots are learning to play the beautiful game — and they’re getting scary good at it. Would you watch a robot World Cup? 🔥

The aggressive look gets all the attention, but on a dinner pickup, the high seating position gave me a great view of traffic. The stainless-steel tank vibe is half the fun. #Cybertruck $TSLA #ElonMusk #FSD

Still gathering context, but this is worth noting.

독점 보도: 테슬라가 네바다에서 완전 자율주행 차량 네트워크 회사 허가를 공식적으로 승인받았으며, 이는 테슬라가 라스베이거스에서 유료 공공 로보택시 서비스를 출시할 수 있는 길을 열어줍니다.

이로써 @Tesla는 향후 12개월 동안 최대 5,000대의 로보택시를 배치할 수 있게 되었습니다. 이 허가 승인은 클라크 카운티(라스베이거스를 포함) 전체를 포괄하지만, 위원회에 따르면 테슬라가 지오펜스를 확장하고자 할 때 위원회에 통보하기만 하면 네바다 주 전체에서 운영할 수 있도록 허용된다고 합니다.

저는 방금 네바다 교통 당���의 8월 20일 전체 4시간 분량의 일반 세션 회의를 라이브로 시청했는데, 몇 분 전 위원회가 테슬라의 허가를 승인했습니다.

테슬라 대표자들이 오늘 회의에 참석했으며, 그들은 처음에는 당연히 5,000대 로보택시를 한 번에 배치하지 않을 것이라고 말했습니다. 하지만 이 허가 승인이 시간이 지나면서 더 많은 차량을 배치할 수 있는 유연성을 제공한다고 했습니다. 그들은 몇 대의 차량으로 소규모 출시를 시작한 후 점차 확대할 계획입니다.

테슬라는 작년 11월 네바다의 로보택시 자가 인증 절차를 완료했으며, 2026년 6월 3일 자율주행 차량 네트워크 회사 허가를 신청했습니다. 이제 모든 승인을 받은 테슬라는 몇 가지 간단한 행정 절차(차량 검사, 보험, 운송 요금 제공 등)를 완료하면 주 내 상업 로보택시 운영을 시작할 수 있습니다. 이는 향후 30일 이내에 이루어질 예정입니다.

명확히 하기 위해, 오늘의 승인은 테슬라가 이전에 받은 임시 운영 명령과 별개입니다. 그 임시 명령은 로보택시 차량 수를 10대로 제한했습니다. 오늘의 승인은 그 이전 임시 운영 명령을 대체하며, 최대 5,000대의 완전 자율주행 차량 함대를 승인합니다.

Not enough information for a firm view, but worth tracking.

[KawzInvests @KawzInvests]

The 30-year Treasury hit 5.34% this week, highest since 2007. US public debt just crossed $40 trillion.

Bessent's response was to double how much old debt the Treasury buys back, which pushes yields down. It worked for about a day. The 30-year is already back where it started, and the actual buying doesn't begin until September 9.

Buybacks don't change how much new debt gets sold, so this looks like a bandaid to me.

$NVDA reports the 26th, Warsh speaks at Jackson Hole the 28th. Volatile week ahead.

19 Aug 2026: Stress Test ⚠️

Market Commentary:

Gap down + follow through down in equities today. AI infra names got smashed, with many gapping below the 50-SMA and subsequently triggering short sale entries, following through down the entire day. The funky feeling is playing out here, with leadership faltering, and late stage sectors (XLE, XLV) coming to the forefront of performance.

Looking at the dollar, price continues to trade 3-weeks tight on the weekly chart. Notably, yields pulled back slightly for the session but equities still traded lower - overall, the US10/30Y both look very strong. Precious metals and copper are starting to fail as well, with Gold + Silver stalling while Copper plunges through the 20-EMA.

In cryptoland, yes BTC, ETH, and SOL seem to be developing weekly bottoming bases, however, until price reclaims the 200-SMA, things continue to be in limbo.

Huge expectation breaker to the downside today, putting us back into a chop market regime.

Notes:

> Big expectation breaker. 'Leadership' looks to be faltering as selling pressure swarmed across the AI trade. QQQ went bidless and traded down to the 20-EMA and 50-SMA in one swoop.

> The AI infra names of Apr/May gapped down and triggered short sale entries. Without a quick recovery, these names increasingly look like Stage 3 distribution tops. Meanwhile, capital rotated into O&G + Healthcare/Biotech.

> While too early to call for further downside, it's pretty clear that this isn't going to be an easy trading environment. Less is more.

HAG1!
