Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
I walked the Model S line for my first two weeks (shortly after Dual Motor launch). I’d been charged with finding all the new production issues for the thermal team. I found many and spent the next few months redesigning before doing it again for Model X. The map of that production line is forever burned into my memory.
The sun has set on these legends to prepare for the dawn of Optimus, and I feel the weight of that. We won’t let you down.
The Optimus team is #hiring!

One of my engineers sent me this, alleging that I just did the meme. This is a totally unfair portrayal because I cancelled our 8pm war room, yet everyone stayed in the office past 10pm anyway!
(Manager watching their team on the verge of mass resignation from back to back quarters of impossible deliverables with unrealistic deadlines):
Hey! Let's have a hackathon!
Mere Mortals returns to San Francisco next Friday. Experience the show that took San Francisco by storm before we take it on tour to the UK this summer. https://t.co/4bTYz3Ad2Z
