Most people don’t realize how big this is

Koreans buy Korean products.

They use Samsung phones
They use KakaoTalk for messaging
They use Naver instead of Google
They buy home appliances from LG

Even everyday household like doors, windows, faucets are made from Korean companies, not Chinese.

It’s very hard for a foreign company to enter the Korean market.

One of the rare companies that succeeded is Apple with the iPhone. Market share doubled in 10 years (now 30% I think, so still much less than Samsung).

Tesla selling more cars to Koreans than Korean car companies is huge.

Tesla now at 59 driverless Robotaxis in Texas

[Disgraced Propagandist @DisgracedProp]

People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.

What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.

If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.

It’s weird, and I never thought I’d say this.

I’m at the point now where I genuinely think my car can drive me places better, faster, and safer, than I can.

Truly a remarkable product.

Interview with SpaceX CFO

[Alexander Garcia @OneLove_Unity]

@FoxNews Trump is a politician and he knows that New York is full blue. But because the man is such a hardcore Knicks fan, he is willing to risk the boos just to witness a once in a lifetime moment.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite.

Overall Specs:
• 150 kW peak compute payload
• 120 kW average compute payload
• 70 kW per ton
• Compute provider interchangeable

Dimensions:
• Wingspan: 70 meters
• Deployed height: 20 meters

Thermal System:
• 110 m² deployable liquid radiator
• Redundant pumping loops
• Integrated micrometeoroid shielding
• Deployable liquid radiators

Solar Power System:
• 150 kW solar array
• 250 W/m²
• SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas

Architecture:
• Centralized compute module
• Large deployable solar arrays
• Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system
• AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite")

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

Hey @elonmusk! I recently experienced @Tesla's @robotaxi fleet in Austin. Smooth ride, no driver. It's remarkable to see 10+ years of real-world AI training manifesting in a fully autonomous service.

We did discover a new operating expense line item for our Tesla model: parking tickets. Our Robotaxi got a $75 parking ticket.

How does Tesla plan to handle parking and traffic violations in a Robotaxi world?

[ARK Invest @ARKInvest]

You may have heard our research on Tesla Robotaxis... @CathieDWood just rode one through Austin.

No driver. No safety monitor.

Ride along with Cathie as she shares her thoughts from the passenger seat, including a newly discovered line item for our model.

The Tesla Cybercab is ~3.4 times more efficient than a Waymo I-PACE.

The Cybercab is built from the ground up as a Robotaxi. The Waymo is a retrofitted platform with a sensor suite that adds excess weight, drag, and constant compute/sensor power draw.

The real reason they don’t want voter ID is to commit voting fraud. That is the obvious truth.

NEWS: Nothing CEO Carl Pei tried Tesla FSD for the first time this week. Now he says he will only drive a regular car for fun.

Pei, who also co-founded OnePlus, spent the week testing FSD v14.3.3. His takeaway was that the productivity gain is the real story.

You can take calls, sit in meetings and think through ideas while the car drives.

He was honest about the rough edges too. Parking is not there yet.

"I'll only drive traditional cars mostly for fun, not because I have to."

@wholemars I can’t even imagine how good v15 is going to be

Good question

And Reliability gets better every year - we haven't stopped improving and don't plan to.

Collaboration with service + vehicle data makes it possible to root cause and fix issues quickly. Definitely not perfect, but doing 1% better each day ends up 37x better after a year...

Some of the most impactful work we do at X is invisible to the user.

In the last 12 months, we have rewritten almost every core part of the app.

We will soon be shipping a 90% reduction in our web app’s load times.

Crazy that Ontario cancelled their Starlink deal, but the teachers pension plan is making a fortune on SpaceX
