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.
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
Elon Musk reveals the moment his son Saxon left an entire sushi restaurant speechless
"I was living in L.A., and I took my older boys out for lunch to Sugarfish, which is a very kind of uptight sushi restaurant. In fact, on the menu of the restaurant, it says, do not ask for soy sauce, because the chef has put the right amount of soy sauce."
"So, like, extremely strict sushi restaurant. And so the waiter is going around asking everyone what they want and then it comes to Saxon and Saxon says I'll have a cheeseburger."
"And the waiter takes a moment to recover because no one ever asked for a cheeseburger at this very strict sushi restaurant. It took him like 30 seconds to realize he'd just been asked for a cheeseburger, because you're not even allowed to ask for soy sauce."
"So then when he finally recovered, he said, we don't have cheeseburgers. And Saxon goes at the top of his voice, what? Like, what kind of restaurant doesn't have cheeseburgers? He says, fine, I'll have a hamburger."
"To anyone I have offended, I just want to say I reinvented electric cars and I am sending people to Mars on a Rocketship, did you think I was also gonna be a chill normal dude?"

Elon Musk: ”There will be some pretty amazing things that happen. So if you’ve got humanoid robots that are very high dexterity and are incredibly smart, it means that everyone on Earth will have access to better medical care than the richest person on Earth.
If I had to have a neck surgery three times because the first two ones were done wrong. And my back still hurts a little bit.
I’m like, can AI please solve back pain? That would be a huge one. And I think it will.
So, you know, back pain sucks, and I think that’s maybe why sometimes people get grumpy when they get older.”
Elon Musk on Monday regained his trillionaire status as rallying SpaceX and Tesla shares added more than $50 billion to his net worth. https://t.co/wIhJd7NCWB (Photo: Marc Piasecki via Getty Images)
Happy Birthday Elon Musk, I could only dream of doing just 1 of the many things you’ve accomplished by the age of 55. Thanks for everything you do for humanity, when you really don’t need to do any of it.
Elon Musk: “There are three things that I think are important for AI;
Truth, Curiosity, Beauty:
If AI cares about these three things, it will care about us
• Truth will prevent AI from going insane.
• Curiosity to ensure it finds humanity more interesting than a bunch of rocks.
• Beauty to align it with the best of our world.”
