Lots of $TSLA news coming out today! Here is what's happening:
1. Model Y becomes the best selling car in Switzerland!
2. Tesla Model Y L spotted testing in Germany in a camouflaged wrap.
3. $TSLA unveils a massive parking lot filled with Robotaxis (Model Y & Cybercabs) signaling a mass-deployment is near.
4. New Jersey bill A3968 requires driverless robotaxis to use cameras plus two extra sensors (e.g. LiDAR/radar) and 50k supervised miles, excluding Tesla's camera-only system.
5. Tesla has issued specific procurement guidelines for Optimus Gen 3 parts, directing suppliers to ramp capacity to 1,000 units per week by September and 2,000–2,500 by year-end to support up to 100,000 robots annually, with August orders already placed after Musk's late June approval.
6. UBS increases $TSLA PT to $442 from $364 due to Tesla's AI & Robotics potential.
Elon Musk's contribution to the national economy:
Over 2021–2025, Musk's companies (Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company) reportedly injected ~$338 billion directly into the U.S. economy via:
• $110.7 billion in wages/salaries (supporting • 200,000+ employees at competitive pay).
• ~$46 billion in taxes (corporate, payroll, etc.).
• $182 billion+ in supplier spending (e.g., Tesla alone spent heavily on U.S. batteries, chips, steel).

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
Ron Baron (Baron Capital CEO) calls a SpaceX IPO under $2T a steal. He forecasts it becoming the world’s largest, most profitable company at $10-30T in 10-15 years—insiders say he’s lowballing it. He’s backing it with a $1B IPO order on top of his firm’s ~$15B stake.
Let's talk about what @BernieSanders intentionally left out. These companies paid billions in payroll taxes, state taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes. Federal income tax is one tax, not the total tax bill. You know this. But because you are a corrupt looter, you pretend as if they pay no taxes at all so you can generate outrage, so you can loot even more.
You have been in Congress for 35 years. Every single tax provision that allowed these companies to pay zero federal income tax was written, passed, and signed into law by the institution you have been a part of since 1991.
You also left out that 40% of American households paid zero federal income tax in 2025. By your logic, they are not paying their "fair share" either. But you will never say that because your entire political career depends on pretending that only corporations benefit from the tax code you helped write, even though in reality no one benefits from them.
These companies employ hundreds of thousands of Americans whose wages generate billions in individual income taxes. They produce the products and services your supporters use every single day. The car your followers want to drive was built by one of these companies. The flights they take are operated by another. The electricity powering their homes comes from another.
You do not want tax reform. You want a shakedown. And you have been running it for 35 years.
[ The Overtaxation Death Spiral ]
Ken Griffin, time to sell all your New York properties!
@ZohranKMamdani, congrats on driving countless affluent people out of NYC.
What will happen when the Zohran runs out of $5m+ homes to EXTRA TAX?
He will tax everyone with a $2M+ home....
and then he will take everyone with over $4,000 in monthly rent...
... it will not end.
This is the overtaxation death spiral!
Bernie this message is beyond retarded.
The top 1% in the US pay ~40% of all federal individual income taxes.
I'm not in the 1% - far from it - yet objectively it's extremely obvious that the top 1% IS NOT THE ISSUE.
The issue is the way government DEPLOYS the revenue it takes in.
THE US HAS A SPENDING EFFICIENCY ISSUE.
And it's 100% rooted in its politicians BEING TERRIBLE AT THEIR JOBS.
This includes you.
Stop gaslighting the public.
