@kevinnbass Maybe it's you who is being lied to.

@DJSnM @MChroniken Good point, Orbit also saves on land acquisition, physical security, and cooling.

[David Leonard @Danger_Dave]

@DJSnM with 27/7 solar you don't need much battery

@iAnonPatriot that is absolutely not what a government is there for.

Summary of @elonmusk’s 44 minute interview at the @allinsummit:

Government:
• Elon hasn’t been back to DC since May, “The Government is basically unfixable.”
• “If AI & Robots don’t solve the National Debt, we’re toast.”

Optimus:
• Tesla is finalizing the design of Optimus Gen 3. “It’s going to be a very remarkable robot.”
• Optimus Gen 3 will have the manual dexterity of a human.
• Optimus Gen 3 will have an AI mind that can navigate, and comprehend reality.
• There is no supply chain for humanoid robots, Tesla is making everything from scratch. It requires a lot of vertical integration.
• All of Optimus’ actuators are made in-house by Tesla. There are 26 actuators, per arm.
• Elon reiterates: “If Optimus is successful, it will be the biggest product, ever.”
• Production Cost of Optimus, once 1M units/year are achieved is around the $20,000 range.
• The AI chip for Optimus will be expensive, potentially $5-6K , maybe more.
• Price of Optimus will be a function of demand.
• Tesla had to design Optimus’ every electric motor, gearbox, and the controlling electronics from scratch.
• Creating Optimus is harder than making Model S/3/X/Y/CT, but not harder than Starship.
• The forearms and hands of Optimus are majoirty of engineering difficulties of the entire robot.
• Optimus LLM will be included, no added subscription.

AI4, AI5, AI6 & FSD:
• Tesla is currently finalizing the design for AI5. It will be an immense jump from AI4.
• AI5 will be 40x better than AI4 in some metrics.
• Tesla is working so closely on the AI Hardware, and Software this time around. Both teams are co-designing the chip.
• AI5 has 8x more commute than AI4.
• AI5 has 10x more memory than AI4.
• AI5 has 5x more memory-bandwidth than AI4.
• Elon is confident AI4 chips will still be able to achieve self-driving safety that is at least 2-3x of a human, maybe even 10x.
• FSD 14 will be released in a few months.
• V14 will be the biggest upgrade to Tesla’s software since V12.
• FSD 14 will make the car feel sentient, by the end of the year.

Starlink:
• New spectrum deal will allow SpaceX to deliver high-bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites, to the phone.
• Current frequencies aren’t supported in current phones. Hardware changes are needed.
• Chipsets need to be modified to add the new frequencies.
• The phones capable of using this new frequency will ship in two years.
• You will be able to watch videos anywhere in the world.
• These frequencies required will work inside a building, it won’t cut off.
• You will be able to have a Starlink Account instead of a Verizon/At&T account, but it won’t put other carriers out of business.
• SpaceX may buy carriers to gain more spectrum. “It’s not out the question, it may happen.”

Starship:
• SpaceX will recover Starship starting next year.
• There is only one V2 Starship left.
• V3 is a radical re-design, initially it might go through some teething pains.
• V3 is capable of over 100T to orbit, fully reusable.
• Starting in 2026, SpaceX will demonstrate fully reusability next year, catching both booster and ship.
• Elon thinks a self-sustaining life on Mars can be achieved within roughly 25 years.

AI:
• A rough rule of thumb is 10x more compute will double the intelligence.
• Elon thinks we will continue to see intelligence scale all the way up to where most of the power of the sun is harnessed for compute.
• Human Intelligence is currently plateauing due to low birth-rates and population declines. It will eventually start declining.
• Elon guesses AI will be smarter than absolutely everything starting next year.
• By 2030, Elon guesses AI will be smarter than the sum of ALL humans.

@Tesla What about the destination fee? thats hidden. I know everyone else does it too, so it would be hard to compete when you would be the only place without hidden fees. But you have them too.

@Rainmaker1973 they are not rowing. they are paddling.

[David Leonard @Danger_Dave]

Im with you, but we should tread lightly on the subject because that is exactly what we did to the Native Americans. They had the right to resist our take over, just as we have the right to resist the ongoing takeover from the South. But you can't blame them for trying... except to call out the fact the if they succeed, we will all be in a system that is similar to what they are escaping from. We forced industrialization and national unity on the Natives, while the Hispanic invasion will eventually bring on a dysfunctional corrupt system like what is seen throughout Latin America.

@DJSnM @XPlaneOfficial Thats exactly what an IMC 'death spiral' would look like as it starts. Was it IMC or night?

[David Leonard @Danger_Dave]

We have all heard the name calling and accusations from the media and democrats, but why not at least let the leaders of Doge try to explain themselves.  Although this happened on Fox, it's mostly just an interview.  Just imagine if what they are saying is true.

@RealAbs1776 @laralogan True, but someone tried to SWAT. So is it the response, or the illegal phone call that matters?

[David Leonard @Danger_Dave]

@DJSnM Thats the problem with modern avionics, distracts from the beautiful view. Except for a transponder and a G430, my '64 Mooney is all original. Nothing to do except watch the world go by.

This is crazy

🚨🇺🇸 NO, ELON DOESN’T WANT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Elon’s DOGE team is auditing $1.6T in Social Security payments to find fraud, not steal grandma’s check.

The White House says real beneficiaries are safe, but that hasn’t stopped the media from fearmongering.

@elonmusk:

“What’s really happening is that the Dems are using Social Security and other government programs to attract and retain illegals, who are their future voters.”

Duplicate payments, dead recipients—issues exist, but no hard data confirms the fraud’s full scope.

To all my friends who have engaged in the discussion about the war in Ukraine, I thank you for your opinions. If you have not already done so, I highly recommend hearing about the issues from both sides, directly from the source(s), in long form format. Only then can one truly appreciate where someone is coming from.

Vladimir Zelenski Is a passionate capable leader. The best way to hear his story is the 3-hr interview with Lex Fridman. link below

Vladimir Putin is a little more elusive, but it's important to understand both sides. The best Source I know of is Tucker Carlson's interview, but Lex Fridman should be publishing his long form interview soon.

Lastly, if you support Ukraine and want to put your money where your mouth is, https://t.co/AkA7zlRbwV is a good place to directly support the fighters. I personally have sent thousands of my own dollars in support. There are obviously many other ways to help.

@ShadowS33k3r @GamblingNews123 @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @LasVegasLocally @VitalVegas straight up lie. Gas cars are much more likely to catch fire, and EVs wont explode the way gas powered cats can.
