The Netflix app just updated on our TVs… new UI is the absolute worst! Endless scrolling to find things, thumbnails take up half the screen, and the icing on the cake: once you’ve scrolled down a bit, you need to scroll aaall the way back up to the very top to find search etc.
He invented a space ship which can fly backwards and land on a dime whilst at the same time making the most successful electric automobile company on earth.
Also preserved free speech in the west.
Perhaps start there.
This will sound incomprehensible to many people, but this could have been Britain.
We could easily have become leaders in AI and space if we wished to.
Instead we built an international welfare state.
Anon. I feel like I need to put into perspective what you’re looking at here.
This skyscraper just came screaming back into Earth’s atmosphere at ~26,000 km/h, streaming live video all the way, and soft-landed on the opposite side of the planet with pinpoint accuracy. A drone overhead and naval assets were a stones throw away capturing different angles.
It’s easy to get numb to this because it’s SpaceX. But the level of capability, resourcefulness, and execution they’ve built is honestly hard to wrap your head around.
Way way beyond even the world’s most well resourced nation states. “Great powers” couldn’t do this even if they wanted to.

The Pan-American Highway is the world’s longest highway, almost spanning the full length of North and South America. Before today, no one had yet driven from the tippy top of North America (Tuktoyaktuk) into the Darien Gap to the southern tip in South America (Ushuaia) in an electric vehicle solo - unsupported. My Model X, Beluga, was converted into the ultimate stealth overlanding rig, with a full kitchen, running water, Starlink and 300 watts of solar panels on the hood, which allowed us to roam across some of the best most remote places on Earth with confidence.
The real challenges here…border crossings, cartels, and corrupt cops, yet I embraced it all. Charging on the other hand, was quite a puzzle sometimes, being a foreigner and having very little information to go on. I discovered how far along the electric movement is and where the short comings lie…and I can say with confidence that Tesla Supercharging is the best and most reliable infrastructure out there…
I wanted to showcase that anyone with a dream can make it happen, without needing all the answers. Thank you to all the kind strangers that helped along the way, and the countless dogs that adopted us and kept guard at night!

The irony..Ushuaia currently doesn’t have any power…so this message is coming from Space, Powered by my Custom Solar Panels!
@Tesla
@peterrhague Genuinely inspiring. Hoping to visit Starbase next year and already know I’m going to get emotional being there. Can’t even comprehend actually working there day-in day-out…
250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.
Enjoy your warm beer in that unairconditioned old pub.
Don’t talk too much shit online though, you might get arrested.
I want every foreigner visiting America for the World Cup to realize this is 100% legal.
And every town in the USA is filled with patriots who have armories like this. Every block, actually.
This is why we will never be conquered and are awesome 🇺🇸
Dealing with a lot of job applications recently; decided I need to update my CV with a skill that is crucial in the modern workplace - consistency.
As in; I consistently forget to bring cutlery to eat my dinner with…
