🚨Keir Starmer to address the nation on the Moroccan rioters tearing up London after France's win, he will say they'll feel the full force of the law ⚖️
Only joking, that's just for the British. Carry on lads, it's cultural expression
Worth pointing out that Quansah’s “crime” is the same in FIFA terms as Folarin Balogun’s - serious foul play. Quansah’s one-game ban has been extended to two. Balogun’s was suspended for 12 months when Donald Trump made a phone call.
Really impressive first few drives with FSD v14 lite!
Big leap in capability and feature set from v12.6.4, it’s tuned for safety right now so it’s taking things slow and smoothly.
Highway performance was notably great. More videos and a very long form review later once I get a few more hours of driving in.
v14 Lite Release Notes:
– Distilled the intelligence from HW4 V14 into HW3. This allows HW3 to directly learn how to handle scenarios using HW4 V14 as a guide. This process unlocks the improvements that have been made to HW4 including Reinforcement Learning (RL) and offline models for HW3.
– Improved both proactive and reactive responsiveness across a wide variety of categories including navigation handling, merges and forks, pedestrian interactions, traffic lights, and vehicle cut-in scenarios.
– Improved general comfort in nominal scenarios through fewer false slowdowns, smoother steering and more consistent lane centering.
– Introduced parking, unparking, and reversing capabilities.
– Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, or at the Curbside.
– Speed Profiles are now available at all times, to further customize driving style preference.
SpaceX has now completed its 60th dedicated Starlink launch of 2026, putting nearly 1,600 new Starlink satellites into orbit this year alone
All in just under 6 months
That is an insane pace
The Starlink constellation keeps growing every single week, bringing high-speed internet to more people around the world
SpaceXAI has become a major force for good in Memphis and surrounding communities.
• SpaceXAI’s expansion is projected to push local tax revenue above $100 million
• Employs almost 3,000 people locally in Memphis
• The Musk Foundation donated $350,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis
• Has paid tens of millions of dollars in property taxes to Memphis and Shelby County
• Spent $10 million in 2025 with Memphis restaurants and food vendors
• Starlink is also giving eligible Memphis-area residents half-price service.
• 80% of the construction workforce was hired from the Memphis community
• Hired thousands of subcontractors and works with local Memphis vendors/businesses
• Provides free meals around the clock for employees and contractors
• 25% of SpaceXAI property tax revenue is set aside for nearby communities
• Building an $80 million Colossus Water Recycling Plant. The plant is expected to treat around 13 million gallons of wastewater per day that will save about 4.745 billion gallons of potable water every year.
• Built electrical substations at no cost to MLGW
• Installed 240+ batteries for on-site energy storage and grid support
• Partnered with Memphis-Shelby County Schools on upgrades near its facilities
• MSCS accepted an in-kind Musk Foundation donation, previously reported around $6M, for school repairs and student support
• Removed major debris from local roads, including 300+ mattresses, 500 truck tires and 15,000+ lbs of waste
• SpaceXAI cleanup efforts have removed 100+ tons of garbage and debris
• Partnered with Mt. Vernon Baptist Church to support a new community center fundraiser
• SpaceXAI team members volunteered at Mid-South Food Bank and helped assemble 7,000 Christmas baskets
• Offers $25,000 signing bonuses for new hires relocating to Shelby County
• Offers $10,000 bonuses for workers moving to nearby Mississippi or Arkansas
SpaceXAI is not just building AI in Memphis.
It is investing in jobs, schools, infrastructure, cleanups, local businesses, families and the surrounding community.
Elon Musk explains one of the most optimistic futures imaginable: Neuralink and Optimus restoring lost human abilities through real-world cyborg technology
And the first people this could help are the ones who need it most:
People who are paralyzed. People who are locked in. People who lost the ability to move, speak, or interact with the world normally like Stephen Hawking
Neuralink is already helping patients control computers and robots with their thoughts
"They can now communicate almost as quickly as we are communicating right now"
“That’s going to continue to accelerate”
But Elon’s next vision is even bigger:
Use Neuralink to read motor-cortex signals from the brain, combine that with sensory feedback from the somatosensory cortex, and connect it to Optimus-style robotic limbs
In simple terms:
A person who lost their legs could one day control robotic legs with their mind - just pure thought. No buttons or joysticks
Elon called it a real-life “Six Million Dollar Man” concept… but instead of being science fiction or insanely expensive, it could cost around $60,000
Neuralink gives the brain a digital output. Optimus gives the body robotic capability
Together, they could create a path for people to walk again, move again, communicate again, and regain independence they thought was gone forever
This is the future worth building
Tesla’s Supercharger network just delivered a monster Q2
In Q2 2026, Tesla Superchargers delivered 2 terawatt-hours of electricity globally
That is enough electricity to power roughly 180,000+ U.S. homes for an entire year
The scale is getting insane:
• 2 TWh delivered
• 60 million charging sessions in 3 months
• 266 kWh sold per plug per day
• Wait-time percentage dropped below 0.5%
• 5,000 site maps now live
• +17% YoY growth
Tesla's EV charging network is becoming global energy infrastructure
Tesla’s charging infrastructure is getting bigger, faster, more efficient, and less congested at the same time
Peter: "I heard you say you might want a mini woolly mammoth. Is that true?"
Elon: "Yeah, I think it would be really cool to have a pet miniature woolly mammoth. That'd be pretty epic."
Peter: "I'll put a word in with you for you with with with Ben [Lamm]."
Elon: "That'd be adorable. Little things just running around trumpeting away and it's like look at the be a great little pet."
Last year, @elonmusk brought national attention to the paper-based federal retirement process hidden deep underground in Boyers, Pennsylvania.
The Last Day of Paper is more than a milestone, it is proof that government modernization can deliver real results for the American people.
Thank you @POTUS and @elonmusk for the initial discussions that led to this important accomplishment: https://t.co/JwdiLEt0Ko
Teams recently completed build and acceptance testing of our 1,000th Merlin 1D engine for Falcon’s first stage! With Falcon’s reusability, recovering these engines has enabled continued reliability enhancements, making Merlin one of the most reliable rocket engines ever manufactured
