Irish couple left speechless after a small-town Alabama restaurant owner quietly picked up their entire tab.

Meanwhile, the same people who spent years sneering that Alabama was nothing but “backward rednecks” just got a masterclass in Southern hospitality. No lectures. No virtue signaling. No social media performance. Just genuine kindness from people the elites love to mock.

Turns out character isn’t measured by ZIP code—it’s measured by actions. And once again, small-town America embarrassed the self-appointed “tolerant” crowd without saying a word.

TESLA'S $2 TRILLION SECRET: THE CARS WERE JUST THE TROJAN HORSE

Tesla's stock just hit $450 after years of skeptics calling it overvalued for a "car company."

The skeptics were right about one thing: Tesla isn't a car company.

It never was.

The vehicles were just the data collection devices, the training ground, the Trojan horse for what's actually being built: the world's most advanced real-world AI that's about to make human labor optional.

Full Self-Driving V14 just achieved something nobody thought possible: intervention-free drives from Los Angeles to New York.

Not on highways with perfect lane markings, but through construction zones, unexpected detours, unmarked rural roads, and Manhattan traffic.

Tesla's fleet of 6 million vehicles has been training this AI with billions of miles of real-world data.

Every car is a teacher, every drive a lesson, every edge case captured and learned.

No other company has this data advantage, and they never will.

But here's what Wall Street is finally understanding: the same AI that navigates a two-ton vehicle through chaos can navigate a humanoid robot through a factory, kitchen, or hospital.

Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot, uses identical neural networks, same vision system, same decision architecture.

The only difference is legs instead of wheels.

When you've solved vision and real-world navigation for cars, you've solved it for everything.

The economics are staggering.

Tesla's targeting $20,000 per Optimus unit at scale.

The global labor force is 3.5 billion people.

If Optimus replaces just 10% of human labor, that's 350 million units at $20,000 each: $7 trillion in revenue.

Not market cap. Revenue.

For context, Apple's total revenue last year was $380 billion.

Optimus could generate 18 times that from just partial market penetration.

Elon's prediction that Optimus will be bigger than everything else Tesla does combined isn't hyperbole; it's conservative.

Cars are a $3 trillion global market.

Labor is a $75 trillion market.

Every restaurant, warehouse, factory, hospital, and home becomes a potential customer.

Unlike cars that sit idle 95% of the time, robots work 24/7.

One Optimus could replace three human shifts.

The timeline is what nobody expected.

Optimus went from stumbling prototype to gracefully running in two years.

Tesla's manufacturing expertise means they can scale production faster than anyone.

They're already building the factories.

By 2027, Elon projects thousands of units. By 2030, millions.

This isn't theoretical anymore; it's industrial planning.

What investors are really betting on isn't Tesla's ability to make cars or even robots.

They're betting that Tesla has solved real-world AI while everyone else is still playing with chatbots.

Google's Waymo needs pre-mapped cities and perfect conditions.

Tesla's FSD works anywhere, instantly.

That's the difference between narrow AI and general intelligence applied to physical tasks.

The automotive business was never the destination; it was the funding mechanism and data pipeline for the actual product: artificial general intelligence for the physical world.

Every Tesla sold wasn't just a car purchase but an investment in training the AI that will fundamentally restructure human civilization.

The owners paid Tesla to build its true product.

We're watching the last pivot before everything changes.

Tesla's cars proved they could build quality hardware at scale.

FSD proved they could solve real-world AI.

Optimus will prove they can replace human physical labor.

The stock price isn't irrational exuberance; it's the market finally understanding that @Tesla owns the future of work itself.

[Neville Medhora @nevmed]

Two reasons I disengage from Tesla FSD (HW4):

1.) I want FSD to take a diff route than suggested. Potential easy solution in the video: Just let me "draw" the route I wanna take.

2.) The full-stop at stop signs.
I tap the accelerator when using FSD to do a rolling stop which is way more natural. The NHTSA made Tesla do the full-stop thing in 2022 and it's just annoying, especially when driving through a neighborhood with tons of stop signs.

Those seem to be last remaining reasons why I disengage FSD (other than to just drive myself for fun)!

From a post on FB!

Read it, Understand it!

I promise you it will piss you off! Is this really the America you want?

Joe legal works in construction, has a Social Security number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose illegal also works in construction has no Social Security number and makes $15.00 per hour cash, under the table.

Ready?... now pay attention....

Joe legal: $25.00 per hour × 40 hours = $1,000.00 per week or $52,000.00 per year. Now, take 31% away for State and Federal taxes. Joe legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose illegal: $15.00 an hour × 40 hours = $600.00 per week or $31,200.00 per year. Jose illegal pays no taxes. Jose illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe legal now has $24,031.00.

Jose illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the State and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe legal spends $500.00 per month for food or $6,000.00 per year. Joe legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays rent of 1,200.00 per month or $14,400.00 per year. Joe legal now has $9,631.00.

Jose illegal receives $500.00 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose illegal pays out that $500.00 per month or $6,000.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays $200.00 per month or $2,400.00 per year for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe legal now has $7,231.00.

Jose illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance."... and still has $31,000.00.

Joe legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline.. etc.

Jose illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month....

Joe legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Jose illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe legal's and Jose illegal's children both attend the same elementary school.

Joe legal pays for his children's lunches while...

Jose illegal's children get a government-sponsored lunch.

Jose illegal's children have an after school ESL program.

Joe legal's children go home.

Now, when they reach college age...

Joe legal's kids may not get into a State school and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State schools through his taxes, while...

Jose illegal's kids go to the, 'head of the class' because they are a minority.

Joe legal and Jose illegal both benefit from the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not.

Do you get it, now?

If we vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens,... we are part of the problem.

It’s way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.

When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.

It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means.

Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices.

So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war.

Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.

"But that darn Elon just went and tried it and it worked, and they cancelled our WHOLE program!"

Here's an interesting story about how Elon Musk ambitiously skipped to the last step when trying to land on a barge with a rocket, proving supersonic retro-propulsion worked.

@DrPhiltill knew someone working on a supersonic reentry program at NASA at the time who was shocked Elon was able to skip ahead, thus canceling their need for the program.

Failing fast and forward not only saves so much money, but is more efficient and skips over steps you might not need.

This lesson could even apply in your own life. This is my favorite part of my recent interview with Dr. Metzger.

Imagine that the most powerful country in the history of the world has the following party, @TheDemocrats:

1) Eradicate women's rights by allowing men to infiltrate all of their spaces;
2) Refuse to define what a woman is;
3) Reject the integrity of borders because racism;
4) Refuse to clap for a child suffering from brain cancer;
5) Populates academia with professors who spread the most illiberal idea pathogens imaginable;
6) Support the right of non-Americans to destroy the host society from within;
7) Astoundingly Islamophilic;
8) Soft on crimes because racism;
9) Support the spread of socialist/communist ideals;
10) Espouse "Defund the Police";
11) Support BLM;
12) Reject meritocracy in favor of diversity, inclusion, and equity;
13) Spew the hallucinatory "White Supremacy" canard;
14) Espouse the anti-scientific stance of Settled Science;
15) Believe that the First Amendment should be curtailed;
16) Believe that the Second Amendment should be curtailed;
17) Believe that all immigrants are equally likely to assimilate;
18) Contain a subgroup within the party that would make the Nazis proud in their orgiastic Jew-hatred.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Joe Rogan literally gasped in shock by what Elon Musk told him

Elon Musk instructed Treasury and the Federal Reserve to make payment codes for government expenses mandatory, this alone is costing taxpayers $100 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR

Payments with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION

“Our recommendation to the Treasury and the Federal Reserve is like, we need to make the, the payment categorization codes mandatory, not optional. And you need, there needs to be an ex an an explanation. We're not judging the quality of the explanation, but there should be some explanation for what this payment is for above nothing.”

“That's a radical change to the system that is being implemented. Now my guess is that probably saves a $100 billion a year.”

Joe Rogan “Jesus Christ. Where is that money going? (He’s in so much shock he asks again) Where was that money going?”

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

When I was travelling through the South over the past month, I was told by several hosts that they all carry guns. They confirmed that they do not tolerate the nonsense that Jews face elsewhere. America: Never ever give up or water down your Second Amendment. It is the means by which you maintain your freedom from all enemies, domestic and foreign.

WATCH: The President of El Salvador just released a video showing how thousands of their prisoners have become full-time workers to repay society.

Factories, farms, & shops have been built for prisoners to work 24/7

At the textile workshop alone, inmates produce up to 600,000 garments monthly. They have made 188,000 medical-use garments, including uniforms, masks, and lab coats. They have also made 114,000 sports outfits, 18,000 uniforms for public school students, and more than 9,000 uniforms for the El Salvador military.

This is what jail should actually be: WORK. WORK. WORK. And more WORK.

Dear @elonmusk,

We purchased the Pennsylvania voter rolls & are using AI technology to detect fraudulent voter registrations.

We found active voters registered in both PA & other states.

Perhaps we can create the Department of Voter Efficiency (DOVE).

Let’s chat.
