@elonmusk on the hardest part of building Optimus:

"The fine motor skills are incredibly difficult to get right. Like shockingly difficult."

Signing your name, or driving a self-tapping screw into wood, takes precision and force at the same time. "There's no hand design that I've seen, not even sort of a demo that does that."

"But that's what we're trying to achieve with Optimus." @Tesla_Optimus

Great Times with even Greater Memories at @theXtakeover 🤩🤩🤩

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

@elonmusk on what we might find out there:

"Maybe we'll find alien civilizations out there, or we may find that there are the long dead ruins of alien civilizations."

"Maybe they had a really good run, like 10 million years... Because nothing lasts forever."

Do you think we're alone?

I would’ve gone to jail if I were caught driving a car in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 13 years ago
Last month I asked Grok on my iPhone to plan for my trip to the @theXtakeover with my daughter… from the Bay Area to Tesla Giga Texas, with a stop half way through, and hotels recommendations.
I booked the hotels using my iPhone, and added them to my calendar
I got into my Tesla the day of my trip, she’s already navigating
I clicked the “Start self driving” button, and my Tesla planned for my charging stops
Throughout the trip I was generating more energy through regenerative braking mostly because of FSD and my Tesla would automatically skip a suprcharger and navigate to the next one since I have more battery than previously expected
I would even ask Grok when I’m hungry or tired for food or location recommendations and it would find me the best options and add them to my trip, then my Tesla would just drive me there and parks itself.

When I got exhausted due to LA traffic on Monday that added 7 hours to my trip, FSD was watching me and notifying me to make sure we all are safe as it’s driving us.
And at night I was making sure I use @EVJect to be able to escape any emergencies.

I’m very grateful for America 🇺🇸
Very grateful for Silicon Valley that birthed and hosted great minds that made America even greater than it is
For Steve Jobs and @stevewoz for allowing us to have personal computers in our pockets!
For @elonmusk for allowing us to have the smartest AI/SI + and making 𝕏 the best place to connect with fellow Tesla owners, for him and @woodhaus2 for creating the safest and smartest robot that drives us around
And for @kregpeeler and Erick Vega for making sure our Tesla is safer in case of humans or animal predators showing up while we charge.

Why did we spend SIX MONTH and HUNDREDS OF HOURS creating @theXtakeover 2026 @Tesla Light Show? SIMPLE... The COMMUNITY deserves the effort and pride of putting EVERYTHING into making the show the BEST it can be... 🫡

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who took part, to @NLDS_DroneShows for the weeks of configuration, @TeslaownersSV for trusting us and to @play_tediddle for making it all possible 😁

This show was MADE ON EARTH BY HUMANS, no AI and with PRIDE & LOVE ❤️

@elonmusk on why SpaceX bought @cursor_ai:
"In order to create a compelling AI, you need a lot of training data, and you've got to solve coding."
"There were really just, as far as I can tell, three organizations that had enough coding training data, and that was Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor."
"If you can't do coding, your AI is not going to be very useful."

@mayemusk on the day she stopped coloring her hair:

She was dyeing her roots every four weeks ("blorange, like blonde and orange") and her agent wasn't sending her out for jobs.

"I had no idea I was white underneath."

She kept posting photos with her white hair anyway. "That's when I started getting good jobs, and people were liking my white hair."

@elonmusk on why robot fingers are so hard:
"As a human, we constantly self-repair. In fact, if they didn't, your fingers would be worn away."
"You can wear away the keys on your keyboard just with typing. I've done that, where the letters are gone, you know, but my fingers are still there."
Robots don't regenerate, so the touch sensors have to survive thousands of cycles. @Tesla_Optimus
