@DevinOlsenn @OmarOuqfi I wish FSD knew what school zones were and allowed for customization. I would set it automatically switch to sloth, and for it to slow down before the school zone speed limit sign. I would never ever choose to Mad Max it through a school zone, I'm sure most people feel the same

Communist brainwashing. @elonmusk has paid the most taxes out of anyone in America, created 150k jobs, and 4400 millionaires just from SpaceX’s IPO. The top 10% pay 70% of all income tax. The government should be giving out awards for that much tax money paid.

The car that used to be in my garage is currently in an Earth-Mars elliptical orbit and will be there for at least 10 million years

@Drive_Protected That colour is my exact style!

That is Elon Musk in the left and Tim Cook on the right, but who is seated in the middle?

She is Zhou Qunfei.

Touch your phone screen right now.

That glass was probably made by Zhou Qunfei’s Lens Technology.
She dropped out at 16, polished watch lenses for under a dollar a day, and wrote a resignation letter so honest about the problems yet grateful for the chance that her boss promoted her instead.

At 22 she started a tiny workshop with $3,000 and family in a small apartment. She kept learning and mastering advanced glass techniques.

She solved Motorola’s “impossible” shatterproof glass problem. Supplied the first iPhone. Built a company with 75,000+ employees making over a billion screens a year for Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Tesla.

She still walks the factory floor.

A few weeks ago she sat between Elon Musk and Tim Cook at a Beijing state banquet.

Zhou Qunfei today is known as China’s “Glass Queen.”
She is the founder and chairwoman of Lens Technology, the company whose advanced glass and components are used in iPhones, Samsung devices, Huawei phones, Tesla vehicles, and an expanding range of electric cars, humanoid robots, AI hardware, and aerospace products.

As of late May 2026, her net worth is estimated at $19.7–20.3 billion (Forbes and Bloomberg), making her one of the richest self-made women in the world and among the wealthiest women in China. Her wealth comes mainly from her controlling stake in Lens Technology, whose market value has recently been around $26 billion.

From a dollar a day to that table through relentless learning, honest communication, staying close to the work, and doing what others said couldn’t be done.
She didn’t wait to be invited.
She made herself impossible to ignore.

@niccruzpatane Thanks for posting this, I was always wondering....

WARNING

The anti-clanker movement is highly funded and very organized.

Unlike any movement in history it will weld LEFT AND RIGHT displaced white collar workers: executives to HR, new graduates and other workers all races and with I higher tilt to women.

This will include a very new group of displaced doctors, nurses, lawyers and government workers.

There of course will be a mix of waitstaff and Uber drivers, hospitality workers and DoorDash.

Newly graduated will have the reality that their student loan will never pay for itself and never offer the job they were sold.

This cohort is being whipped up to be anti data center but is rapidly being moved to anti AI than anti humanoid robot and finally anti all humans in technology.

The media has a need to be anti AI and they are a natural to tilt this debate.

The goal is to own 2028 and 2032.

I AM NOT GUESSING.

The approach all are taking is no effective as it should be.

This is an opportunity to turn folks to a positive future.

I try with my 5000 Days Series at https://t.co/tcKeuiQyql.

We have 7 months to move fast not so much with laws but with brains and action.

Otherwise learn Mandarin Chinese.

@niccruzpatane I blame shareholders - Nobody tried to keep up with Tesla and now they're paying the price.

@DriveTeslaca The best thing about the prairies is the people!

[Mike @mikeulak]

@DevinOlsenn @TOCAlberta IMO, driving in the mountains is a lot more fun but it's at least 3x more fatiguing than driving in the prairies. I hope FSD doesn't make the prairies 3x more boring

Can't believe this

.@PalmerLuckey: American companies don't actually have engineers anymore.

"American companies have been hollowed out."

"We're not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore."

"We're not teaching designers how to actually design things to be manufactured."

"We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package, that gets sent to the real engineers in China—and they actually figure out how to do the work."

"People are turning into architecture astronauts."

"They pick components, and they put them in a nominal layout."

"But the real work of—how am I actually going to put this together? How am I going to build a manufacturing line to make this? How am I going to need to figure out how to do the one, two, three, four, five different revisions of this board to pass radio emissions and interference standards? That's all done in China. So they are the real engineers."
