If solar power in space is harnessed for useful work at scale, the value of that will far exceed the Earth economy, because all of Earth civilization uses much less than a trillionth of our Sun’s power
Consider this: there could be 2 trillion galaxies in the universe as per cautious estimates. Just imagine the myriad of alien worlds that could exist within these!
Do you think we're alone?
GOOD NEWS 🤖 Several sources deep inside the supply chain have indicated that Tesla has finally handed down concrete procurement targets for Optimus components 🔥
These guidelines push suppliers to ramp up production capacity to an incredible 1,000 units a week by September this year, and scale up even further to between 2,000 and 2,500 units a week by the end of the year 🆒
Two insiders close to the suppliers noted that Tesla normally sorts its orders about two months in advance, and they've already spotted specific requests for hundreds of units queued up for August. Looking at these estimates, Tesla's supply chain will soon have the sheer capacity to churn out components for a massive 100,000 Optimus robots a year by the end of December 😍
Word on the street is that before locking in these massive orders, Elon personally reviewed and signed off on the absolute latest build of Optimus during a high-level meeting in late June. This is huge—it means that after more than three years of hardcore R&D, Optimus Gen 3 is finally leaving the lab and stepping right into the mass production phase 💥
Both supply chain sources mentioned that during this meeting, Elon laid down the law, demanding the team hit these end-of-year production targets, or he would completely sack the entire Optimus procurement department. Classic Elon 😤
Honestly, this hardcore ultimatum gives the supply chain, the markets, and the wider robotics industry way more confidence than any safe, standard forecast ever could 👏
JUST IN🚨: New Quantum Research reveals that luck follows a pattern, as physicists uncover evidence that seemingly random outcomes may be shaped by hidden, repeatable structures beneath the surface of chance.
Excited to release Grok 4.5 with @SpaceXAI.
It's an Opus-class model that's fast and low cost. It's a significant step up over any model we've developed so far, including Composer 2.5, and has become the daily driver for many on our team.
First of many releases. More soon.
@PhilipJohnston I understand that internal communication between satellites uses laser transmission, and in the future, radio will primarily be used for connections between satellites and ground-based equipment, right?
