Tesla Optimus unveiled in 2022 vs 2025

The progress is insane in just 3 years....

[The Humanoid Hub @TheHumanoidHub]

tslaming: Tesla has completed the mass production audit for Optimus v3 and selected seven Chinese companies as Tier 1 suppliers.

This is set to enable mass production starting in Q1 2026, aiming for a capacity of 50k to 100k Optimus units by year-end.

True. I love #Europe. For many of my international friends, Europe isn’t just a place — it’s the destination they aspire to, after life in #Canada, the #US, or even #Australia.

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

Very correct 👌 in Europe we buy zero tariff, US citizens will pay 15% extra tax to get EU products. Prices will not be lowered because demand in the rest of the world is growing fast. Vanderleyen did a good job meanwhile Trumps tariff fetisj. She closed deals with low or no tariffs with many countries. And what concerns the b250$/year energy import 😇 that was a little joke. We’re not going to 5-fold energytrade. It’s logistically not even possible but ok, it’s said like trump says so many things 😀

@PressSec Your House looks like The Cosby show … omg 🫣

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

@WhiteHouse Amazing… what you all do to get the world distracted from the Epstein-Trump concerns 🫣 shame on you

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.

We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1.

At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

@elonmusk in #europe cars need to stay left in their lane in slow traffic on the highway. @Tesla #Autopilot stays exactly in the middle what is not legal anymore. Update ?

🇪🇺 European Central Bank chief Lagarde calls for an alternative to American Visa and Mastercard in "a march to independence". The completion of the Capital Market Union would pave the way for the Fiscal Union. Further integration would add €3 trillion in value (!) every year

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

@EricTrump @realDonaldTrump Oh yes ! For sure ! 👍 let’s start with the President of Heard Islands facing 10% tariffs

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

Have you ever stopped to ask where these figures actually come from — and whether they represent tariffs at all?

Go ahead. Open ChatGPT and ask for every country on your so-called “Liberation Day Board”:
Calculate the ratio of the U.S. trade deficit to imports. Label it “Tariff Charged to USA,” and divide that by two to get “USA Reciprocal Tariffs.”
Guess what?
You’ll get the exact same table.

What kind of economic intelligence is behind this? Calling these numbers “tariffs”? It’s absurd.
A meticulously crafted global image of scientific credibility and innovation —
thrown away in a single press conference.

What a shame.

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

it shows that Trump admin can use ChatGPT at least: "Calculate the division of USA trade deficit and import to USA. Put it in a table and next to that you divide it by 2. Name the first outcome Tariff Charged and the second Reciprocal Tariffs".
Some mistakes because they used most likely YandexGPT, the Russian AI bot because hacked.
The last is a joke, the first also, but unfortunately taken serious by the Trump Admin).

And this for a nation that had brilliant economists before this era, what a JOKE. For sure: MAGA !

[Joachim De Vos @JoachimDeVos]

No, what you and they are saying is completely misleading and has nothing to see with charges to US. This isn't complex economics either — it's basic kindergarten-level math. The so-called "reciprocal tariffs" that Trump and his team refer to are simply calculated as:

Trade deficit with a nation ÷ Imports from that nation.

That’s it. For Europe, for example:
$235B / $605B = ~39%.
Halve it — you get the "reciprocal tariff": ~20%.
It’s the same logic applied across the board. Anyone can run this in seconds — even with ChatGPT. Calling it a study is a stretch. It's just basic division. Make America Great Again, maybe by starting to go to school ? Oh, US Dep of Education is dismantling ? But, seen this, it was indeed never needed.

The European Union upholds rigorous food safety standards to safeguard the health of its citizens. We do not allow chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-injected beef, or meat overloaded with antibiotics—not because we oppose trade, but because we prioritize consumer safety. Tariff-free exports to the EU are absolutely possible—provided the products meet our well-established safety and quality regulations. That’s not protectionism; it’s a fair and transparent principle.

American food might be fine for a one-week vacation, but European consumers demand—and deserve—higher standards for everyday life. Thanks for understanding. Tariffs won't change that.

And the same goes for most US-cars. We enforce strict emissions and safety regulations because we take climate action seriously. Just look at how Paris has improved its air quality in recent years (see picture), largely thanks to electrification. We embraced US-made Tesla's—massively—until @elonmusk veered off track. We’ll keep moving forward.
