| Should be a major improvement with respect to complex left turns | |
| It should be possible to sue law firms for pursuing insane damages claims | |
| Excited to hand over the first production cars made by Giga Berlin-Brandenburg tomorrow! | |
| Even some of the best AI software engineers in the world don’t realize how advanced Tesla AI has become | |
| " Well, I’m happy I made people happy!" | |
| " Agreed. I wish JB & I had just moved forward to commercialize the Tzero without adding other partners. In the end, that’s what happened anyway." | |
| My most immediate takeaway from this novella of a thread is that Twitter is *way* overdue for long form tweets! | |
| Can only read one side. Looks like “ax the itch”? | |
| " Glad it’s working out! Thanks for giving us this tough case to solve. That’s what field testing is all about. | |
| This early version of 10.69 is being extra cautious, so waits for a moderately big gap in traffic to cross. Upcoming releases will do better in heavy traffic." | |
| " Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources." | |
| RT NASA has ordered six additional resupply missions from SpaceX! Dragon will continue to deliver critical cargo an… | |
| Reasonably accurate translation | |
| Earth is basically empty of humans | |
| " 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better." | |
| "Venice, a site of Great Remembrance " | |
| RT Watch Falcon 9 launch 53 Starlink satellites → | |
| "With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable – why did I even fight it for so long!?" | |
| I find the gold toe sock – inevitably off kilter & washed out – a little troubling esthetically & arguably a bit corpo | |
| Gasoline fights are so fun tho | |
| "So spam prevalence *was* shared with the board, but the board chose not disclose that to the public … " | |
| " Some Starlink terminals near conflict areas were being jammed for several hours at a time. Our latest software update bypasses the jamming. | |
| Am curious to see what’s next!" | |
| It was an honor to meet at Starbase and discuss exciting future projects! | |
| That’s a real picture? | |
| " Hi Jon! You’re a good dude, but obv die-hard Dem, so have to support the party, but this Adminstration has done everything it can to sideline & ignore Tesla, even though we have made twice as many EVs as rest of US industry combined." | |
| " I couldn’t agree more! There is such a thing as too much sentience for household appliances. | |
| Imagine giving advanced AI to a toilet with an implicit “maximize 💩” utility function, so it engages in deep societal manipulation just to get maximum 💩 haha." | |
| " Yeah, I noticed that too. Pretty weird." | |
| Those who claim any criticism of Rings of Power means you’re racist are outing themselves as closet racists | |
| " If verified accounts violate terms of service, eg spam/scam/impersonation, they’ll be suspended, but Twitter will keep their money! | |
| We will definitely add cool stuff like what you’re suggesting to Twitter Blue." | |
| Does it accurately portray software engineers? | |
| " DoD provided about 3% of the Falcon 1 development cost. Appreciated, certainly, but should be seen in context." | |
| " I usually drive an alpha build, but switch to beta right before release so I know what Tesla owners are getting" | |
| My companies don’t buy advertising | |
| Peter Jackson did excellent work with Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit was stretched too long for a short book. | |
| Maybe a similar approach to Kosovo | |
| Important. South Korea is currently tracking to lose about half its population roughly every generation. Long lifespan hides the dire nature of the problem. | |
| " Thank you for the blessing, but I’m ok with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there." | |
| " Yeah, but too much drama. Do we really want a bull in a china shop situation every single day!? | |
| Also, I think the legal maximum age for start of Presidential term should be 69." | |
| " Well-said! Also, we try to operate the team as non-hierarchically as possible & allow movement between project areas, so you don’t get pigeon-holed." | |
| " This is false. I’ve had no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social." | |
| The media is a click-seeking machine dressed up as a truth-seeking machine | |
| " Talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart" | |
| I am increasingly convinced that corporate ESG is the Devil Incarnate | |

| " Wow, good for her for saving those people!" | |
| But sponges & starfish obv can | |
| I’m a big fan of citizen journalism! | |
| " This would be a super bad idea, since stocks can swing wildly from one day to the next, eg Snapchat dropping 43%. Tesla is ~40% below ATH! | |
| However, eliminating estate tax dodges like GRATs would be good, since probability of kids being effective stewards of capital is lower." | |
| Probably this weekend. Lot of code updates means much is discovered during testing. | |
| SpaceX has already withdrawn its request for funding | |
| There is so much actual matrix math in AI! The compute power is still overwhelmingly dot products! | |
| As judged by the people of Twitter via Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch) | |
| " Quite a few. Trying to do the right thing, which is not always clear." | |
| RT Docking confirmed! | |
| " Note, we are trying to reduce delivery times as quickly as possible. Long wait times are not a good thing." | |
| " Next week. It’s actually a major release, so a lot more internal testing is needed before going to public beta." | |
| " In that case, you will really love 10.13" | |
| " Not be a buzzkill on this issue, but Venice itself is slowly dying due to very low birth rates" | |
| "This is what most people in America want, but unfortunately it’s not realistic. | |
| Generally, the party with less power (currently Republicans at national level) moves more toward center to win moderate votes, so control of House/Senate/President goes back & forth over time." | |
| Funny how there are often simultaneous reactions saying “it’s impossible” and “it was already done 3000 years ago” | |
| " Indeed, that kinetic energy scales with the square of velocity is not well-appreciated! | |
| A sealed escape pod with a heat shield would probably work." | |
| Good article | |
| " Smart? Maybe. | |
| Does dumb stuff? Definitely!" | |

| Absolutely | |
| Would be cool to do a (much simplified) Hyperloop demo tunnel between maybe Austin & San Antonio? | |
| " 10.13 is probably a week or so away, but yes. People outside of California will notice improvements the most." | |
| " Future wars are all about the drones. Human crews of planes or tanks have no chance. | |
| One exception: a purely analog, human-controlled vehicle is far more resilient to EMF weapons." | |
| " Will require truly exceptional execution, but it is possible" | |
| SpaceX team is making great progress at the Cape & Starbase! | |
| Big improvement in high speed cross-traffic velocity NN coming next month | |
| "Working on Tesla North American service. | |
| Goal is 2/3 of cars receive same-day service, no wait." | |
| I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls. | |
| 🤣 that’s happened to me many times | |
| " SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. | |
| Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth." | |

| " Big difference between peace comms vs warfront comms. | |
| Starlink is only comms system still working at warfront – others all dead. | |
| Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense. | |
| Even so, Starlink may still die." | |
| As well as advanced chip & supercomputer engineers for next-gen training & inference | |
| " Maybe if they do the opposite, Twitter will be a much better experience – just an idea" | |
| " Call them out on it, I guess. WSJ is supposed to have a high standard for journalism and, right now, they are way sub tabloid. | |
| WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay." | |

| Coming soon. Part 3 is about scaling sustainable energy at a civilizational level to enable a bright future for Earth. | |
| " Tesla is now over 110k direct jobs and roughly 500k indirect, factoring in suppliers" | |

| Whoever controls the teleprompter is the real President! | |
| " We’ve had some promising conversations with Apple about Starlink connectivity. iPhone team is obv super smart. | |
| For sure, closing link from space to phone will work best if phone software & hardware adapt to space-based signals vs Starlink purely emulating cell tower." | |
| SpaceX now delivering about twice as much payload to orbit as rest of world combined | |
| " Would be great if someday humanity stopped pointing nukes at itself that would destroy almost all life on Earth. | |
| In any given year, there is a chance above zero that they will be launched. We are now at the highest risk in 60 years. | |

| It is not entirely unpredictable that you would reach that conclusion | |
| This will be a big deal over time | |
