Cybertruck AWD Deliveries!

[Shea Duncan @sheaduncan_]

Just took delivery of the 59k @cybertruck !

Nice to have cloth seats again and they look great.

More to come on drive quality. Previous truck was an F-150.

2026 conference season is here… and hotel WiFi is still a scam.

$11,250 for 3 days of 10 Mbps at a major Marriott event space? Your home fiber: 8 Gbps symmetric for ~$150/month.

Meanwhile, AI data centers are seeing bandwidth demand surge 330% as hyperscalers train the next models.

Why is conference infrastructure stuck in the dial-up era while power-hungry data centers scale for exaflops?

Who else is tired of paying premium for 1990s speeds at events where we’re demoing 2026 tech? Drop your worst hotel WiFi horror story below.

🚀 The Tesla Model S didn't just change the game—it rewrote the rules for 14 straight years.

From a sketchy prototype with glitchy door handles to the final Signature Edition Plaid that shares just 3% of parts with the original... this thing evolved like no other car in history.

Jason Cammisa nails it in this Hagerty doc: constant iteration, massive efficiency gains, and an industry wake-up call that EVs are here to stay.

The most important car of the last 75 years? Watch and decide.

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point

Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.

Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.

There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.

I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.

But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

@WordPress As a long time WordPress supporter and I am currently managing 45+ WordPress sites this is very troubling that your unstable CEO would go to these lengths. Unfortunately the damage is done and WordPress is now viewed differently in the eyes of millions.

@elonmusk Can we get a way to easily stream to TV? Chromecast or Apple TV integration on the player would be great!

[Evan Dickert @evandickert]

@elonmusk Any chance previous Dual Motor purchasers can get a bigger power boost since we didn’t get range boost? Thanks!

@FlyFrontier not very happy with my first experience on your #airlines. Couldn't put bag in bin even though there was space! #frontier

[Evan Dickert @evandickert]

@FlyFrontier paid for 2nd row seat and carry on; flight attendant wouldn't let me put it in the bin over my seat? Now it's back at row 7!

[Evan Dickert @evandickert]

@jakeauernheimer Thanks Jake that's what I figured also missing body on frame but it's very hard to tell in the photos.

@FranklinTNPD is this a Lexus RX or GX?
