@dpoddolphinpro @FAANews @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight Lightening was the boss battle back in Benjamin Franklin’s day (well, at least in terms of the natural sciences). I’m sure Franklin would be tickled to see his tech contributing to SpaceX,

@ethanabuck You mean I can actually build something without having to get permits?

[Sam Koda @guarantor27]

@JoeTegtmeyer @StarbaseBrewing Missed your updates Joe!

It’ll be great to see the finishing touches on the test track in the coming weeks.

But so glad you had a great trip to Europe — especially Prague, which is a gem of a city.

@BeardedTesla Reminds me of my old deuce and a half

@SERobinsonJr Parking set off to the side, with a retention basin moat — all perfect for Summon (and some day, banish)

@SpaceX @Starlink “Welcome SpaceX-ers old and new. Occupy Mars.’

Awesome

@klovsch @SjvTesla @sheaduncan_ @cybertruck Just put the cutting wheel on the angle grinder and away we go!

@MichaelDell The one thing money can’t buy is adversity

@SERobinsonJr FWIW, I think there’s a Brazos Valley Station in Grimes County on the proposed (and long suffering) high speed rail line between Dallas and Houston (at least in earlier proposals). Terafab is going to need workers and High Speed Rail can help.

@orlandoclimbs @KeelanFord Good for you.

I ordered mine on 2/24, and the Tesla AI assistant is telling me 2027. Fortune favors the bold.

@AIDRIVR Cheap move by Waymo if they adopt good widespread across their fleet.

That said, I wonder why Tesla hasn’t trademarked the gold for Cybercab/Robotaxi service. Is it because the taxi service doesn’t yet have secondary meaning under Qualitex Co. v. Jacobson Products Co. (1995)?

@JoeTegtmeyer (Jokingly) But the ‘Gateway To Mars’ sign however . . . .’

@SawyerMerritt But the hedge rows!

In other words it will be interesting to see if FSD will scrape up the left side as necessary in tight spots. This may be more challenging than Netherlands and all the bikes and well mannered pedestrians

@elonmusk @Sajwani In the past I’ve said SpaceX looks one part Flash Gordon, one part crazy science experiment and one part Mad Max, but this sh*t is looking seriously operational

@unusual_whales Be careful what you wish for. If you are a U.S. citizen and enter a country under another country’s passport, I don’t think that the U.S. has any obligation to come to your aid

@EchoesofWarYT The Civil War was the beginning of modern war (telegraph, railroad), and IMO what happened at Vicksburg was the greatest combined forces op ever in terms of field command decision-making and will never be equaled given advances in communications

@SpaceX @elonmusk Please keep up this unrivaled video production after the IPO, it’s hugely inspiring for all.

@JessePeltan Gotta wonder if home insurers in the United States will allow this

@robotaxi Hopefully y’all will get down to Athens and Gun Barrel City soon!
