I recorded my 76-year-old mom showing three friends - ages 95, 91, and 74 - @Tesla FSD (Supervised) for the first time, while riding together in her 2026 Model Y.

In short, they were amazed by it. 91-year-old Paul: “I was even more impressed when it slowed down and then sped up after we went through the toll booth, also stopping at red lights and starting when green.”

A data center is not that different from a factory. It serves digital goods.

If you want the intelligence to be served locally in the USA, then the data center has to be built or you won’t have frontier sovereignty.

Novak Djokovic in his documentary on why he refused the COVID vaccine:

"Because I didn't need it. Why should I get the vaccine? I'm healthy, I'm an athlete. I had corona. I had immunity. I wasn't a threat to anyone. There was no reason for me to get vaccinated. It's my freedom to choose which that fundamental right that you have as a human being on this planet — the freedom to choose — which was taken from a lot of people."

@robotaxi Finally, let's go! let's unleash the squad of cybercab! Make future the reality!

[Tesla Robotaxi @robotaxi]

Ride in Robotaxi through 8/23 for a shot to attend our Cybercab launch event

More rides = better odds

✍️ How I decide when to enter a position:

First, I gather as much data as possible across indicators/perspectives:
• Fundamental story, long term vision, management track-record and credentials
• Financials, balance sheet, earnings reports, runway calculation if unprofitable
• broader sector and macro environment and how they relate
• comparison to other relevant tickers
• Sentiment across retail investor and pro analyst landscape
• technical chart setup

After absorbing as much information as I can across all these factors, I take my time to distill and digest all the data I've taken in (this usually requires a long walk or two). I am looking to see the stars align across datapoints.

And finally, once I feel I've really wrapped my head around the company... I go with my gut feeling from there 😁

I made a video compilation of @Tesla FSD (Supervised) avoiding accidents, pedestrians and animals. This technology is already saving countless lives.

Thanks for submitting your clips!

Hey Starship Addicts!!!

Its time for Episode 4 in the Stage Zero 2.0 Series. Building upon what we have learned about how the new flame trench and deluge system were constructed, we will finally learn how this extremely complex system actually works!!!

Join us for the premier at 7pm CST

Why can’t communists be communist the way the Amish are Amish, as in, peacefully, voluntarily, among themselves, without taking anyone else’s property or forcing anyone else to participate?

If communism is really about cooperation and community, why does everyone else have to be forced into it?

I want to put to rest the conspiracy theory that Elon is deliberately delaying Robotaxi so he can merge Tesla into SpaceX at a low price.

If he were actively sandbagging Robotaxi for that reason, he would face real downsides: elevated lawsuit risk, the awkward need to justify slowing a critical program to his own Tesla engineering team, and the demotivating effect that would have on the people building it.

The control math makes the supposed benefit minimal. Elon owns roughly 5.6 billion Class B SpaceX shares with 10× voting power. Even in an extreme 10:1 exchange-ratio merger (implying Tesla at around $1,300 per share), he would still retain approximately 62% of the voting power in the combined company. The leap from ~20% voting power at Tesla to permanent majority control of the entire empire does not require Tesla to be cheap.

He would get a modest economic benefit because he owns a higher percentage of SpaceX than of Tesla, so less dilution is better for him. But if you believe the richest man in the world is primarily motivated by squeezing out a few extra percentage points of ownership, that says more about you than about him.

The decisive point is the other way around. SpaceX is controlled by Elon, so it will approve the deal. Tesla shareholders are the ones who must be convinced. The best way to get them to vote yes is to make them happy with Tesla’s trajectory. The clearest way to do that is to deliver Robotaxi progress, increase Tesla’s value, and then offer a generous premium, which he can afford while still keeping majority control, even at very Tesla-favorable ratios.

So if the potential merger creates any incentive regarding Robotaxi, it is not to slow it down. It is to execute as well and as fast as safety and technology allow.

On the other hand, if you look at what’s happening on the ground, there are real, explainable reasons for the current pace of Robotaxi expansion: there are still too many remote interventions to scale unsupervised without building a massive call-center operation that Tesla clearly wants to avoid, and the Cybercab FSD model needs to be trained for the different platform geometry. These operational realities explain the current state far better than conspiracy theories that, when you actually examine the incentives, do not stand up to reason, because the incentives point in the opposite direction from what those theories claim.

If you do anything this weekend, make sure you watch this episode.

On The Karl Stefanovic Show panel today, Gerard Renick's raw breakdown of everything wrong with the state of play in Australia right now, and exactly what has to happen for us to get our way out of it.

No holding back. Tonight 5pm.

School kids are being organised to walk out of class next week to protest Pauline Hanson and One Nation.

Instead of teaching them to think for themselves, the system is turning them into political activists against a democratically elected politician.

This isn’t education. It’s indoctrination. And the teachers and unions allowing it should be ashamed. #AusPol

#BREAKING Two Iranian footballers who only arrived in March just became full Australian citizens on Wednesday.

After only five months.

On protection visas.

Tony Burke’s department fast tracked them to citizenship in record time.

These two women stood up to the Iranian hardline Islamists regime and we should absolutely protect them.

But citizenship after five months?

That’s not the normal process.

That’s political.

How many more are being quietly fast
tracked right now that we’re not being told about?

Labor knows every new citizen is a potential Labor voter.

With an election coming, the incentive is obvious.

Who else is getting the express lane while ordinary Australians wait years?

@PaulineHansonOz ask the questions.

Demand the numbers.

[Lozzy B 🇦🇺𝕏 @TruthFairy131]

An African immigrant who sexually abused a 3 year old boy has been allowed to stay in Australia because he would face "significant hardship" if deported to Zambia.

WE DON’T CARE about his hardship 😡

The safety & security of AUSTRALIAN children must be prioritised before the ‘hardship’ of foreign criminals.

A tribunal restored his visa using a direction maintained by immigration minister Tony Burke.

By remaining silent, YOU are allowing this.

Aussie kids are NOT safe in their own homeland because of 3rd world immigration & multiculturalism 🤨

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Important announcement: I am upping my offer, $10 million dollars for a head-to-head basketball game between the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boy's high school state title team of my choice. If the Aces beat my team, I will give them $10 million.

Pauline Hanson explains why she banned the ABC and The Guardian from her Victorian press conference:

“I’m not putting up with their rubbish. I’m not putting up with their spin, their lies whatsoever. I want truth and honesty — you get it from me, I expect it back from the media.”
