Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

EUROPE, ARE YOU WATCHING? 🇪🇺🚀

The RDW was right to give the green light! 🇳🇱 Just witnessed Tesla FSD (Supervised) handling a tricky Dutch 'pijlwagen' (arrow trailer) like a pro.

Look at that smooth lane change! No hesitation, just pure AI confidence. 🧠⚡️

Since the April 10 approval, the game has officially changed in the Netherlands. This is why we lead the way in Europe. The software is mind-blowing. 🤯

I will be building my own personal fleet of 25-50 Tesla Robotaxis one day. And I will prove to the world that I can generate ~$1,000,000 per year in passive income from it. I really think there is no other passive income vehicle like this on Earth - better than real estate. The Robotaxi opportunity is coming, I can feel it. And it’s going to level the playing field for everyday people like you and me, kinda like what Airbnb did to hotels. All the doubters, just wait and watch me prove it in real time. I’m so ready.

How @elonmusk fixed Starlink:

“Starlink was a mess. It was 10X too expensive and they were building 1/10 of how many they needed.

Elon’s like I've had it. This is now the bottleneck. I'm fixing this.

He grabs a team of engineers that he trusts and they fly up to Seattle.

They fire the entire Starlink leadership team.

They sit down in a war room and they start running the algorithm.

•What is the first principles of satellite design?

•How simple can we make this thing?

•Why does this exist?

•Why are these two things so far apart?

•Why do we need this much energy?

•Why do we need this manufacturing process?

And over the course of a few months they make a two order of magnitude leap.

These people had never encountered this design before, but just by applying the algorithm and working with maniacal urgency towards this extremely high design bar, they created this product that's now —if it was a standalone business —would be worth tens of billions of dollars [or more].”

🔥 如果你曾怀疑 $TSLA 的FSD，这一幕足够说明问题

在荷兰一条极其狭窄的小巷中，周围挤满了大量行人，环境复杂到大多数人都会选择绕开。

但FSD在这种高密度、人车混行的场景下，依然能够稳定穿行，没有犹豫，也没有失控。

这种场景的难点不在于速度，而在于判断——空间、距离、行人行为的不断变化。

很多人可能不愿意自己开车通过这里，但系统已经可以完成这样的操作。

你会在这种场景下选择相信系统，还是更相信人类驾驶？

10 ans de BMW Série 3 diesel. 4 mois de Tesla Model 3. Voici les 7 vérités que personne ne m'avait dites avant.
1/ L'électrique ne révolutionne pas votre vie. Il la simplifie. Plus de plein, plus de station-service, plus de calcul de prix. La voiture se branche le soir, elle est pleine le matin.
2/ Paris-Lyon en Tesla = 1 arrêt Superchargeur de 22 min à Mâcon. Soit le temps d'un café. Même temps que mon arrêt habituel avec la BMW. Pas une contrainte — une substitution.
3/ Le couple instantané, le freinage régénératif, la réponse immédiate à la pédale : ce n'est pas la même conduite que la BMW dynamique. C'est différemment satisfaisant.
4/ Entretien Tesla : 180 €/an. Entretien 320d : 900-1 200 €/an. Pas de vidange, pas de filtre à carburant, pas de courroie. Économie estimée sur 4 ans : 3 200 €.
5/ La Tesla reçoit des mises à jour pendant que je dors. En décembre, +15 km d'autonomie réelle grâce à une meilleure gestion batterie. Ma BMW était la même voiture le dernier jour que le premier.
6/ L'image sociale change. La BMW : reconnaissance discrète. La Tesla : curiosité et conversations. Ni mieux ni moins — différent.
7/ Le bilan sur 4 ans : → Énergie : 10 360 € (BMW) vs 2 250 € (Tesla) → Entretien : 4 200 € vs 800 € → Assurance : 6 200 € vs 7 800 € (Tesla plus chère) → Total usage : 20 760 € vs 10 850 € → Achat : 53 000 € (BMW) vs 45 990 € (Tesla) → Avantage Tesla sur 4 ans : ~17 000 €
Ceux qui disent que l'électrique coûte plus cher n'ont pas fait le calcul complet.

Tesla Semi

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity.

The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions.

Musk just sealed it.

Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery.

That is a complete misread of the physics.

Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.”

For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain.

A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy.

And what does it do with that energy?

It throws it away as heat.

Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.”

Diesel burns twice.

Fuel going up. Hardware coming down.

A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived.

The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent.

It harvests it.

Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.”

Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery.

The mountain stops being an obstacle.

It becomes a power plant.

Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing.

Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible.

Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down.

Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons.

They are solving the wrong equation.

You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe!

Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.

[FalkTG 10k 🦅🇪🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 @FalkTG]

I repeat:

The U.S. sent thousands of its 19 years old soldiers to die in Normandy, to free Europe and to end the biggest crime against humanity ever commited - by Europeans.

It was just 81 years ago.

The whole reason, France, Benelux etc. 🇫🇷 exist today is because of this heroism.

My grandparents could grow up in a liberal democracy. Without the U.S. they would be raised at the H*tler Youth.

We Europeans would still be in wars again and again, like 1914, 1866, 1870, 1795 etc.

They brought peace, democracy, liberty and human rights. They invested billions of U.S. Dollars into Europe with the Marshall Fund. They gave us more than we ever had in our history before. They protected us for 7 decades with hundreds of thousands of soldiers against the cruelties of the Soviet Union.

The terror we can see nowadays in Donetsk, would have happened in Bavaria, Bourgogne or the Netherlands in 1950 if there wasn’t the U.S. 🇺🇸

Who do we Europeans think we are to let that nation down, act like bad allies, calling their President names every day on television - and have full confidence we stand better alone. All of instagram is just about, why we’re better than the U.S.

We owe them so much.

We Europeans are most arrogant species on earth. And to cure this we have to face the truth.

Elon Musk was asked what happens to people when the machines no longer need them.

He didn’t soften it.

Musk: “There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. These are not things I wish would happen. They probably will.”

Sit with that second sentence.

He is not celebrating. He is not selling a vision. He is telling you what he believes is inevitable and admitting he wishes it weren’t.

That is not optimism. That is a confession.

Most people are still arguing over whether this is real. Whether it’s their job or someone else’s. Whether the timeline is years away or decades.

Musk isn’t arguing.

He resolved it. And it bothers him.

Musk: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice.”

Not a political position. Not a utopian proposal.

A concession.

We are building something so capable that human labor stops being a required input to the economy. The machine does not need rest. It does not need a salary. It does not call in sick. It does not ask for a raise.

And it improves every single month.

The jobs that feel safe right now are not safe because they are irreplaceable. They feel safe because the technology hasn’t fully arrived yet.

It’s arriving.

Musk: “How do people then have meaning? If there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you feel useless?”

He said that is the harder problem.

Not the economics. Not the policy. Not how you fund UBI or make it hold.

The harder problem is what happens to a person who built their entire identity around being needed.

That is most people.

You were trained from childhood to believe your value is what you produce. That your worth is what you earn. That rest is something you survive the week to reach, not something you deserve simply by existing.

When the machine removes the need for your labor, that belief does not update.

It breaks.

The people least prepared for that moment are the ones who worked the hardest. The ones who took the most pride in being indispensable. The ones who made work the whole answer.

Losing the job is survivable.

Losing the reason to get up is not.

That is what Musk is actually asking. Not how do we pay people. How do we build a world where people still feel like they matter when the economy no longer needs them.

Nobody in power is seriously working on that answer.

The machine didn’t wait.
